I loved Hugh Howey's WOOL and of course, pictured bits and pieces of it in my mind. What I didn't do, however, in spite of how specific he was in his storytelling, was assign that mental image as the permanent look of the book forever and ever. Of course, when Hugh hands over his vision to another artist, whether that person is making a graphic novel, TV series, or even movie, the look will be different than we expected and that's alright. In this case, I loved what the artist Jimmy Broxton did with Howey's source material, providing a scope for the vastness of how big the silo actually is, in spite of the claustrophobic conditions we sometimes attribute to the silos.I loved the first episode in the serial and am eagerly awaiting the next installment.
