Wool: The Graphic Novel (Silo Saga)

Product Information

Also, sad to see how many of these characters are just more random white people. I like my castings better. 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.

Three additional short stories (In the Air, In the Mountain, In the Woods) have been published in anthologies and were included in Howey's collection Machine Learning. If you've read the book and you're curious about the graphic novel adaptation, do what you will. I won't try to stop you.

Part 4 - 4 stars - This was a meaty installment, giving enough detail to be able to easily follow along. White, Peter (May 20, 2021). "Rebecca Ferguson To Star In Series Adaptation Of Hugh Howey's Dystopian Novels 'Wool' For Apple From Graham Yost & Morten Tyldum". Deadline Hollywood . Retrieved May 20, 2021.This was an OK interpretation of the book, but I think it really pales in comparison. The art was confusing, the story was rushed, and the characters felt distant and flat. 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..

Wool as you’ve never read it before: The New York Times bestselling novel is now told in graphic novel format. 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.I don't know if Shift and Dust will be getting the graphic treatment but I hope they do as WOOL the graphic novel has really enhanced my enjoyment of this already spectacular series. This was okay, but not great. I suspect the novel may be better than the graphic novel version I read. 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! Justin V. Gray is an author, graphic novelist, scriptwriter, and video game writer. He previously worked as an advocate for victims of crime, a chef, a fossil hunter, and a micro-photographer specializing in prehistoric insects and plants trapped in amber. The stairs to start with spiral down the centre of the building where as I had always pictured them running around the sides. The actual floor heights are massive about twice the size I had imagined, areas such as the cafeteria and the gardens are just vast, one scene where you see the mayor walking through the gardens just gives you an amazing perspective on how big the actually are, they are almost cathedral like with the pillars of plants in rows up each side.

Honestly, had this been expanded to at least two volumes, I think the story and characters would have improved exponentially. This is an intricate story, one that isn't done justice here. Palmiotti and crew did a good job of trimming some of the more boring parts of Wool, but in doing that, they also took out the heart. Jimmy Broxton is a designer, illustrator, and comic book artist who cares way too much about “negative space," "pattern value,” and the optimum consistency of waterproof drawing ink. He struggles daily to put the images in his head onto paper—his long-suffering partner and cats also struggle daily...just to put up with him. Bernard is elevated to mayor and eventually replaces Juliette with his own choice for sheriff, Peter Billings. He also trains a man named Lukas to become his successor, and teaches him the secrets of IT: the IT department is the true power in the Silo, and records of knowledge from the old world have not been lost, but confiscated and sealed in a hidden chamber. However, Peter's honesty and pursuit of justice makes him difficult for Bernard to control, and Lukas has no interest in perpetuating Bernard's agenda. Bernard finally finds a pretext to condemn Juliette to a cleaning, but one of Juliette's friends in Mechanical, Walker, secretly arranges for her protective suit to be made out of quality materials, unlike all previous protective suits which were secretly designed to fail and constructed of intentionally defective materials. When she exits the Silo, Juliette realizes that her suit's visor contains a high-resolution display, and is deceiving her. Instead of cleaning the sensor, she becomes the first cleaner to walk out of the sensor's range of sight. The artwork was not the best. It never clearly shows character faces and certain characters I couldn't recognize unless the name was mentioned. Panels were hard to distinguish at times, almost seeming to blend into each other. Overall, the artwork was dismal and dark.
