Überraschend gut

Für jemanden der bisher nur die Serie gesehen hat bietet die Graphic Novel version tolle neue Einblicke in die Welt von GOT. Gleichzeitig bekommt man andere Interpretationen der selben Geschichte was es einfach super interessant macht, ohne das es einen langweilig wird weil man es ja „kennt“. Die Zeichnung finde ich dazu recht passend, nur sind alle super sexy. Die Männer sind aus Marmor geschlagen und die Frauen sehen alle perfekt aus. An sich kein Problem, aber dadurch gibt es keine richtigen hässlichen Charakter, selbst Tyrion sieht gut aus. Manche Charaktere wirken auch dadurch ziemlich jung.

This was my first ever Graphic Novel I've read (aside from children's comics) so I can't compare it with other "grown-up comics". But I've read A Game of Thrones and when I found the graphic novel in our public library I was curious. I'll try to make it short: positive: - an easy and refreshing way to reread (parts of) A Game of Thrones which I read back in 2011 - characters are drawn pretty much according to the book description (hair colours, clothing style, haircuts etc.) - pretty scenery and details negative: - even I as someone who knows the story sometimes had trouble to follow because some parts were left out or cut VERY short. Don't know whether people could follow the story who haven't read AGoT - writing was clumsy, often enough the characters' texts didn't feel natural, not like real conversations - the FACES and bodies... especially the women's. Ugh. Pretty much all female characters (even the girls) looked young and pretty and kind of "sexed up". All sported a bitchy-pouty face with full and "wet-looking" lips and had teeny-tiny waists and average to huge boobs. Worst was 35-ish mother of five Catelyn, who looked like a 20-year-old porn actress (and VERY bitchy-angry all the time). Really? Did this novel need this cheap style? Also, and this affects the men as well as the women, I think the characters' faces didn't display a diverse range of emotions. Just angry and surprised. So overall I'd recommend it for the scenery and details, but not for the writing or faces.
