Game Of Thrones already did have a spin off comic called The Hedge Knight that has been around for a while, long before the show went into production. But now the actual story of the power struggles in Westeros will be hitting our shelves in comic form.



From iFanboy.com..

The Game of Thrones comics will be sold montly from Dynamite Entertainment, and packaged into graphic novels by Bantam Books. The issues will be adapted and scripted by Daniel Abraham, and illustrated by Tommy Patterson. Covers will be provided by Mike S. Miller and a guy you might have heard of, Alex Ross.


This is great news. No word on whether the comics will retell the story we have already seen in the tv show, or movie on and adapt the second book in the series A Clash Of Kings. Either way, look for it around September.

There are three novellas that take place before the main series and are just as good. The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Knight.

Another connection between AGoT and comics is that the audio books are voiced by Roy Dotrice who played the Elf King in HB2.

I think having a comic series is going to open the series up to a wider audience. Because not everyone gets HBO and not everyone likes to read actual books let alone extremely long books.

Huge Martin fan, but I'm not sure I want to read yet another condensed version of an epic story. I think the HBO series fulfilled my dreams of seeing it come to life as it is.

Hedge Knight comics are so freaking awesome because the story is from some novellas and that makes the transition to comics better. I hadn't read the novellas before I read the comics either; which may have influenced my opinion.
