Charononus Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Not sure if this is the right place but is there anywhere that has an official update to follow about when the graphic novels are coming out?
Argent he/him Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Not really, at least not to my knowledge. Some of us here obsessively follow Brandon on all sorts of social media, and I personally check Dynamite Entertainment every few weeks, so there is a good chance there will be a thread here within a couple of days of news coming out.
Charononus Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 Heh, so follow the forums here. Lol.
masaru Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 The last time I asked Peter about it, he said we may hear something about it by the end of the year, so that kind of tracks with it possibly being released in the spring. The funny thing is that I was reading the last State of Sanderson and he said it would be a big thing for this year, but didn't hear a whole lot about it.

Ookla the Absent Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Brandon is known to be optimistic about release dates and deadlines Unfortunately, I guess not everyone can compound steel like Brandon when it comes to publishing.
Ari he/him Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Unfortunately, I guess not everyone can compound steel like Brandon when it comes to publishing. Pretty sure you mean compound Zinc. Writing is generally more about how fast you can think than about how fast you can type.
Argent he/him Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 A quick update from the Worldbuilders AMA (Day 4): For those who don't know, White Sand is the book I wrote right after Elantris. I wasn't satisfied with it, and never sold it. Dynamite Comics asked if maybe we could do a graphic novel, and I felt that in creating a graphic novel script, we could fix the problems I had with the story. So I said yes. Working on the graphic novel with Dynamite has been one of the best experiences I've had with a licensed product. They have been quick to listen, have given us a great deal of leeway with asking for revisions of both art and text, and have hired people we really like to work on the project. The end result is a comic I'm very proud of, and happy to have as the cannon version of White Sand. (Which is relevant to the cosmere.) The plan is to do three graphic novels, of six "Issues" each. We've basically finished the first six issues, and plan for a summer release next year. We should be showing off some of the pages on my blog this month. (I hope.) So three graphic novels, six issues each. First one planned for Summer 2016. 4
azninvasion99 he/him Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) I was really hoping they would avoid the single issue format, the monthly wait will be brutal. I really want to know who the artist is for this as well. Edited December 4, 2015 by azninvasion99
Orlion Blight he/him Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I was really hoping they would avoid the single issue format, the monthly wait will be brutal. I really want to know who the artist is for this as well. That's why he put quotes around "issues". I think the plan is to publish them in graphic novel form only. The "issues"would be chapters of around thirty pages. So each volume would be around 180 pages. 2
The Ninja Yodeler he/him Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 I feel safe in saying this is going to be the only graphic novel I'm going to read. Just cant get into them.
Plaeggs he/him Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 So I don't think that this question counts as discussing White Sand, as he has asked us not to do, but I emailed Brandon to ask for a copy of the book. How long did it take you to get a reply?
DSC01 he/him Posted December 12, 2015 Posted December 12, 2015 It depends. I got a response almost immediately (a couple of days, tops), but sometimes it takes a long time.
Plaeggs he/him Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Yeah I got mine a couple days after that post, thanks though. I'm already almost finished.

How long did it take you to get a reply? Mine was a really long time. Between 6 to 8 months. I didnt mind. Just finished Mistborn, found out he would send them to you if you asked, so I did. Figured it would never happen. It was a very welcome surprise when they showed up in my inbox. Edited December 14, 2015 by The Ninja Yodeler
DSC01 he/him Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Got some news from Twitter! Me: Will we see any promo art for White Sand soon? Really anxious to find out character design and such... Brandon: We have permission to post some for my State of the Sanderson blog post, coming late this week or early next week. 3
DSC01 he/him Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 Also, someone (not me) did a followup question: "any chance your State of the Sanderson will contain some info on your other media items(movies, ect)" Brando: "I am planning to include some discussion of this." So maybe we'll hear something about the Cosmere rights that have reportedly been sold as a whole. I'd also be happy for any updates on the Steelheart and Mistborn movies. 2
Glamdring804 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 It would be super awesome if in the distant future, he will publish the three volumes together in a leatherbound collectible edition, to look nice and pretty with the rest of my Cosmere on the shelf. 1
masaru Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Creative team and sample pages released: http://brandonsanderson.com/state-of-the-sanderson-2015/ Honestly, it looks great. I like the style they've chosen. PS: every time Brandon mentions a book, the release date moves further away.

I like the style they've chosen. PS: every time Brandon mentions a book, the release date moves further away. Could be worse. He could be working on a single series as opposed to... 3? 4? Plus various and sundry sequels, novellas, and continuations?

Elantris 2 has moved forward in the order- did its release date manage to move further away as well? I think he's just managing expectations tbh.
