thegatorgirl00 she/her Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I know that volume 1 isn't even out yet, but does anyone have any idea how long I'll have to wait in between each volume? The state of the Sanderson doesn't say the projected release of the later volumes. I also have no idea how long it takes to write a graphic novel. Should I expect the next one after SA3? Before? Does anyone have any idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner he/him Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Well, it's taken two years since the initial announcement of the graphic novels to get the first one out, so it shouldn't take longer than 4 years to the last two out. And I'd expect it to take significantly less time; I'm also not very knowledgeable on comic creation, but I'd think they can be writing the second while the inking is done for the first, so there's overlap in production. I seem to recall them saying one-year gaps for the remainder of the trilogy, but I can't find where that came from, so maybe I'm making it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlion Blight he/him Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Honestly, it's Dynamite, so it's hard to say. If I were to venture a guess, I'd say six months at a minimum, after Winds of Winter comes out as being more likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asperity he/him Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 I think the creation of V2 and V3 depend on how successful V1 is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, volumes 1-3 are all based on the original prose draft and all are going to be released. It is the adaptation of the planned second and third books in the series that will depend on how the first three are received. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanderson said this at one point, but I don't remember where. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner he/him Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 He's always said that it would be three graphic novels; in last year's State of the Sanderson, he specified that all three were adapting White Sand: http://brandonsanderson.com/state-of-the-sanderson-2015/ We know there are two planned sequels, from Brandon's long-winded explanations of his future Cosmere plans. But that could always change; he might condense it, the way he's condensing his plans for Dragonsteel (down from 5 books to 3). Even if the structure of the White Sand trilogy stays unchanged, that doesn't mean that there will be 3 graphic novels per book; they might do 2 graphic novels, or 4 graphic novels, depending on the length of the sequels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was only going to be the one trilogy of comics. Huh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, so we could theoretically end up with 9 graphic novels for the full White Sand Trilogy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagerunner he/him Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Brandon expects 1 year between graphic novels. Source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argel he/him Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ugh!! That slow?! ARGH!!!! I may end up reading the prose version after all. I was trying to avoid it to go into the graphic novels "pure". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iohn he/him Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 White Sand the novel is already written, has been for a long time, so we aren't necessarily waiting on Branderson for these releases. I mean he obviously plays a part in their creation but Rik Hoskin is the actual comic writer, plus the artists that do their work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
