Young Bard he/him Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 (edited) At this stage, I think I'm probably going to get it, but I haven't settled my mind on the issue. I'm curious what others intend to do. Pros: Looks cool. I liked the story last time. Cons: I already knows what's going to happen. Graphic novels have never been my favourite media form. I don't know where I'd buy it, as my regular bookshop doesn't stock graphic novels. Edited April 17, 2016 by The Young Bard
Yata he/him Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 I will buy it, I think I will take the English version because probably the Graphic Novel will not be traslated. To be honest I am a little curious and after all, I want to see the Canon version of the story, something will be different and as far as I know for example a character recive a male/female switch between the novel and the graphic
Otto Didact he/him Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 After looking at some of the previews, I am definitely going to buy it. Graphic novels are my favorite way to consume media and I'm so excited that Brandon is including them in the cosmere as original works. Plus the art looks gorgeous and I'm excited to see how Brandon has changed the story and added more cosmere easter eggs. @The Young Bard - The best place to find the graphic novel will be at your local game/comic store. Brick and mortar bookstores do a horrible job of stocking graphic novels. Just go in and ask if they have it on order and if they don't, you can get them to order it so that it'll be there when it comes out.
The Invested Beard Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Yes if only to get the definitive canon version of the story and see what Brandon has added/changed from the prose version.
shadowwisp Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 I love graphic novels but I would probably wait until the full series came out. I would hate to read one volume and have to wait until the next one. Even though I know what is going to happen next hahaha
Wubdor he/him Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 I wish it was a normal novel because I really don't like graphic novels, but I will get it, of course. I'm quite curious what will be different.
calamity Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 The only comics i have read are archie comics. I am not really a comic fan, but of course i will buy it and see if brandon converts me.
Pathfinder Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 I grew up on comic books, but the only reason I stopped was because there would be so many different authors or artists for one character it was hard to keep everything straight and as soon as i found an author and artist I liked, they would get rid of them. In this case it will be a graphic novel, so not individual easy to damage comics, and it will be one author and one artist for its entire run. So I already pre-ordered mine from Amazon
+Authweight Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I'm not a big graphic novel fan personally, but I'm going to get it so I can make my other friends read it (they're comics people and getting them to read prose novels is like pulling teeth sometimes). I'm hoping its good enough to tease them into wanting to read the rest of the cosmere. Then I'll have new people to bore with long bouts of cosmere speculation.
Samaldin he/him Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I will get the graphic novel, mostly because i don´t like reading on an electronical device. I never read a graphic novel before so i hope i´ll like the format. But actually i´m a bit bothered by it already, but that is primarily because i want my cosmere collection to be the same format.
the.fulgid he/him Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Most definitely. Like everyone else, I want to see plot and story differences. But mostly, I'm just obsessed with the all things Cosmere, and get my hands on anything I can find. 1
Kingsdaughter613 she/her Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I've already preordered my copy! Though I'm not sure how I feel about Ais being a girl...
Argent he/him Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Preordered mine from Amazon yesterday. Maybe I should've waited and seen if Brandon will offer it through his store, and bought it from there.
PallonianFire he/him Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Though I'm not sure how I feel about Ais being a girl... Wait, whoa. What? How do we know this is happening? I must have missed a preview somewhere.
Argent he/him Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Wait, whoa. What? How do we know this is happening? I must have missed a preview somewhere. You have to go look at the Amazon preview and keep hitting the Surprise me! button. It will eventually take you to the introduction of the scene where the Lady Judge asks Ais to follow Kenton.
Samaldin he/him Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 You have to go look at the Amazon preview and keep hitting the Surprise me! button. It will eventually take you to the introduction of the scene where the Lady Judge asks Ais to follow Kenton. I´ve done that now for a good 5 minutes and didn´t see anything like that... 1
PallonianFire he/him Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I´ve done that now for a good 5 minutes and didn´t see anything like that... Yeah, same. I wonder if they changed what's available in the preview.
Argent he/him Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 Yeah, it definitely looks like they've changed the preview. It now seems restricted to the first chapter and some concept art only. There used to be a (relative) ton of pages with Khriss in them, and I can't find any of them now. You'll have to wait a couple of months
theicecamel Posted April 28, 2016 Posted April 28, 2016 I've requested my local library purchase it. Hopefully, everyone can enjoy it.
Windrunner Savant Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 To anyone who was trying to find the extra pages of Khriss and female Ais, once you preorder it then you can see these scenes, while logged into the account the purchase was made on!
Pathfinder Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 The tonks do not look at all like what I imagined lol.
Ward Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 This is probably the first work from Sanderson that I'm just not going to buy, at least not until it's cheaper than $25 for a third of a book told in pictures. I'm honestly just not a fan of the art from the previews, and the practice of bolding really important words. Plus, thanks to Brandon's generosity, admittedly, I already know what happens minus Hoid. Ais being a girl now shatters my Javert image. Some quick math from the preview: It takes me 30 seconds to read a page of the graphic novel with a medium amount of text. (I already said I don't really enjoy the art, so I'm not taking time to absorb it.) Amazon says there are 160 pages in this book. I will be done with this book in 80 minutes. This book is charging me $18.75/hr to read it.
