Wool: The Graphic Novel (Silo Saga)

Product Information

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.

Mankind lives in silos spotting a devastated world. Juliette Nichols works on a very low level of the silo. She works to maintain the mechanical construct that keeps the Silo running. But after the Sheriff dies, she is tasked with becoming the Sheriff. As she learns her new job she begins to suspect there is something that is not being told to the inhabitants. We find that the IT department has been limiting the flow of information and this leads to a huge cover-up about the true function of the silos and who created them. 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.

Characters: There is no character development in this adaptation, all the great character building and relationship building parts in the novels are ripped away and we are left with soulless copies of these characters. I barely recognize these characters...especially the great supporting cast. I have nothing else to say other than they were cardboard cutouts of what the characters were in the book... 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. 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... 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.

The actual shape of the silo too was nothing like I imagined, I pictured it straight up and down like a massive pipe almost but it flairs out at the bottom, my mind is totally blown.

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: Wool as you’ve never read it before: The New York Times bestselling novel is now told in graphic novel format.

This 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.

Part 4 - 4 stars - This was a meaty installment, giving enough detail to be able to easily follow along. 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. Also, sad to see how many of these characters are just more random white people. I like my castings better. 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.

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. 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.
