Argent he/him Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 I've been posting threads about new Graphic Audio adaptations for Brandon's books for some time now, and I've realized that they are not very good discussion threads in part because not many people listed to the GA audiobooks, in part because there isn't much to discuss. Regardless of whether we (dis)like the Graphic Audio approach to audiobooks, and regardless of whether we can afford them or not, I think we can all agree that pretty Cosmere art is always a good thing, and fortunately the artists GA works with are on point there. So, if for no other reason but to put together a list of snazzy art, I am going to use this thread to aggregate all of Brandon's Graphic Audio audiobooks, with links to higher resolution versions of the covers when possible. I'll have to get to the covers later though, a bit busy now =\ Elantris Elantris (1 of 3) Elantris (2 of 3) Elantris (3 of 3) Warbreaker Warbreaker (1 of 3) Cover Warbreaker (2 of 3) Cover Warbreaker (3 of 3) Cover Mistborn The Final Empire (1 of 3) The Final Empire (2 of 3) Cover The Final Empire (3 of 3) The Well of Ascension (1 of 3) Cover The Well of Ascension (2 of 3) The Well of Ascension (3 of 3) The Hero of Ages (1 of 3) The Hero of Ages (2 of 3) Cover The Hero of Ages (3 of 3) Cover The Alloy of Law Cover Shadows of Self The Bands of Mourning (1 of 2) The Bands of Mourning (2 of 2) The Stormlight Archive The Way of Kings (1 of 5) Cover The Way of Kings (2 of 5) Cover The Way of Kings (3 of 5) Cover The Way of Kings (4 of 5) Cover The Way of Kings (5 of 5) Words of Radiance (1 of 5) Words of Radiance (2 of 5) Words of Radiance (3 of 5) Words of Radiance (4 of 5) Words of Radiance (5 of 5) Oathbringer (1 of 6) Oathbringer (2 of 6) Oathbringer (3 of 6) Oathbringer (4 of 6) Alcatraz Alcatraz Versus The Evil Librarians Alcatraz Versus The Scrivener’s Bones Alcatraz Versus the Knights of Crystallia Alcatraz Versus the Shattered Lens The Dark Talent Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians: The Worldspire [presumably] Other Shadows Beneath 2
nervousnerd he/him Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I didn't know there were any done already besides the original Mistborn trilogy and Elantris. Can't wait until the Wax and Wayne ones are finished.
jondoe Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I love the Graphic Audio editions. Have all of Brandons. Agree not cheap but do have great covers. Going to start Shadows Beneath tomorrow after I finish the last disk of Bands of Mourning. Lots of Brandon's work coming!
Pinnacle-Ferring he/him Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 The links don't work for me. Am I the only one?
nervousnerd he/him Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I have no problems with any of the links.
Argent he/him Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 The links don't work for me. Am I the only one? Can you go to http://www.graphicaudio.net ?
Pinnacle-Ferring he/him Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Can you go to http://www.graphicaudio.net ?Yeah. I can just get the stuff through there?
Argent he/him Posted March 3, 2016 Author Posted March 3, 2016 Yeah. I can just get the stuff through there? That's where the links should be taking you, yeah. Easiest way is to probably just search for Brandon Sanderson there.
Argent he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 The Stormlight Archive (2/5) now has a snazzy Shardbearer for its cover!
Angsos Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I have the Shadows Beneath GA and I know this is probably heresy but I like Mary's story best. I like all the stories but hers I like best. No torches and pitchforks please, it would be hard to get the burning smell out

I like all the stories but hers I like best. No torches and pitchforks please, it would be hard to get the burning smell out It's a really good story. Also, the snazzy Shardbearer is Dalinar according to the artist.

No torches and pitchforks please, it would be hard to get the burning smell out Eh I think her story is the best in that anthology as well, so don't worry too much about persecution.
Argent he/him Posted June 17, 2016 Author Posted June 17, 2016 All of The Way of Kings parts now have release dates, and we have nice pictures of both Shallan (part 3) and Szeth (part 4). No high resolution art that I've been able to find. I do like Szeth in particular, I think the artist (Alex Allen) has done a good job at giving him child-like features.
CaptainRyan he/him Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Storms @Argent, I knew about GA but that cover art! Wow! I love it! It really captures the essence of the books. Time to start saving my spheres so I can start supporting this wonderful company. Anyone seen a chasmfiend around lately? I could really use a gemheart right about now...
Argent he/him Posted June 17, 2016 Author Posted June 17, 2016 They don't even pay me to promote them as hard as I do 2

No Shallan yet, but here is Szeth, from the artist's DeviantArt page. Love all of these.
Argent he/him Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 Gah, he posts updates all over the place!
Ecthelion III he/him Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 Here's the big version of Way of Kings 3: http://soyabeansoldier.deviantart.com/art/Shallan-621759928
Argent he/him Posted September 8, 2016 Author Posted September 8, 2016 Caught up on updating this thing. Both There are release dates for both The Bands of Mourning (part 1/2) and Words of Radiance (part 1/5). Added links where appropriate (and fixed the Warbreaker ones, which were all pointing to the cover pages, not the GA ones). Also changed the format a little bit - still not happy with it though. I really wish we had more covers, they are really pretty.
Mason Wheeler Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 I've listened to their versions of Elantris, Warbreaker, the Wax & Wayne books, and what they've got of Stormlight so far. I really enjoyed most of it, but not Elantris. The voice actresses they got for it, particularly Sarene and the one bratty cousin whose name I don't recall at the moment, both had really harsh and strident voices that made it difficult to listen to. But aside from Elantris I've really enjoyed their work on the Cosmere books.
CaptainRyan he/him Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 @Argent I thought I should tell you that it seems a lot of the cover links in the OP seem to be broken (specifically WoK 3 and 4).

jondoe Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Still Love Graphic Audio....Wish they would get more authors and series. Was a little annoyed on how long it took them to get out all 5 parts of Words of Radiance though
Guest Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I have just checked the art over each part and I have to say, for once, they didn't do a bad job with Adolin. I was pleasantly surprised. Is it worth listening?

I was pleasantly surprised. Is it worth listening? Each book has an audio sample - give those a listen. I find them enjoyable, but not good enough to replace the book. They are really nice for a "reread" though. The sound effects can, at times, be a little excessive, and the voice acting can sound forced sometimes, but I tend to like them. 1
