Wool: The Graphic Novel (Silo Saga)

Product Information

That’s great news about Wool going graphic. I aim to get a copy–looking forward to the artist’s interpretation of the characters and environment. I had a really talented artist for my SF book cover and 27 interior illios. If you're thinking of reading this before or instead of the novel, think again, my friend. Don't do it. Jimmy Palmiotti is a writer, editor, and creator—a multi award-winning character creator with a wide range of experience in advertising, production, consulting, editorial, film and comic writing, development and production, media presentation, and video game development. Now I have only ever really read one graphic novel before which was the first Walking Dead issue so I am by no means a veteran of reading these but in graphic form WOOL looks amazing, the illustrations are all in beautifully subdued hues,reds, purples, blues it just looks incredible but the one thing that totally threw me was the design of the silo.

WOOL: The Graphic Novel - Hugh Howey

Part 2 - 3.5 stars - Part 2 had a better flow than Part 1, but overall, this graphic novel is not on par with the novel.Part 5 - 3 stars - We are nearing the end, and the story is wrapping up fast. I liked this section in the novel more so than here. The artwork also didn't do it for me. Some characters in some places were so beautifully drawn, so detailed that they looked almost like photographs, but most of the time the art was dark and confusing. It was too easy to visually skip over frames, as they all rather blended into one another. La historia se desarrolla en un silo subterráneo donde la humanidad sobrevive a un desastre que ocurrió años atrás en la superficie. La gente del silo, o al menos las que nos presentan, está dividido entre los IT (los dirigentes, los que manejan los servidores) y los mecánicos (los obreros). Jules, la nueva sheriff, ha sido nombrada en contra de la opinión del jefe de IT y cuando descubre un misterioso archivo en el portátil de su predecesor .... Y hasta aquí puedo leer.

Wool: The Graphic Novel - Hugh Howey

Part 3 - 4 stars - The story is speeding along, and it was condensed in a way that was easy to follow. I'm still not fond of the art, but at least I'm getting used to the flow. In addition to the virtual editions, individual paper comics should be hitting stands before too long. Can’t wait to see those. And now, to whet your appetite, I’ve got some of the first rough sketches Brox made as he was reading the novel and thinking about these characters. Enjoy. More sketches after the break. First, Holston and Solo: If you have read it, I'd love to hear if it has changed your idea of what the silos look like, it certainly changed mine! Wool as you’ve never read it before: The New York Times bestselling novel now told in graphic novel format, featuring full-color illustrations by Hugo Award-nominated artist Jimmy Broxton, and as adapted by fan-favorite writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray. This contemporary dystopian classic—hailed by Justin Cronin, New York Times bestselling author of The Passage, as “an epic feat of imagination”—will captivate readers both familiar and new.

New York Times bestselling author of over a dozen novels. SILO out now on AppleTV+ Beacon 23 coming soon! Part 1 - 3 stars If you haven't read the novel, this graphic novel will be very hard to follow. And the illustrations were just ok, and not nearly the quality that I had expected. I will update my review after subsequent deliveries, but for now, I'm a bit disappointed. This contemporary dystopian classic is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: they are allowed outside. The idea driving Wool was a good one. But often times the end result of an interesting idea falls flat. This, unfortunately, is the case with Wool. I don't think someone that hasn't read the original novel would understand what happens. Even I struggled to understand things from time to time.

Part 4 - 4 stars - This was a meaty installment, giving enough detail to be able to easily follow along. Wool as you’ve never read it before: the New York Times bestselling novel now told in graphic novel format, featuring full-color illustrations by Hugo Award–nominated artist Jimmy Broxton, and as adapted by fan-favorite writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray.Also, sad to see how many of these characters are just more random white people. I like my castings better. Lastly, the characters. I had no connection with ANY of them. Not Holston, and his tortured self-exile into cleaning, to follow his wife. Not Juliette, in her quest to uncover the truth. Not Lukas, in learning the secrets of the Silo. They all were pale, pale, boring, flat counterparts to the novel version - but no wonder! They had to be so flat, to fit in such a short format! As I write this review I am getting more and more angry at this graphic novel...I went from giving it 3 stars to 2 stars...but now I even want to give it 1. It's not worth your time. If you really want to enjoy an amazing story, read the book...if you don't have time to read the book, DON'T READ THIS...it won't save you time, it won't make you like Hugh Howey's work and it won't make you want to read the book...all it will do is ruin the story for you...it's a shame...

This is the story that drives this comic. It is a rather decent concept. By itself I might have given it a 3 star rating. Sadly the story is hampered by subpar art. Thus the overall rating is 2 stars. A decent story, poor art and an unfinished ending (sort of) since I assume there will be a volume 2? I hope..The story is essentially the same as the book: Holston, the sheriff, heads out to clean, leaving an opening. Juliette takes up the job and starts to learn that there is some deception occurring in the Silo. Hollow, lifeless, empty and unfocused these are the words that spring to mind when I was reading this graphic novel adaptation to Hugh Howey's amazing Wool (Silo #1). I will try to be as non spoiler as possible but at the same time I will make a lot of comparisons between this and the book that it was based on.
