The First Law: The Blade Itself (Graphic Novel)
Abercrombie's work has always been easy for me to picture as a movie, and when a movie can't do, I find a comic is often the next best thing. Chuck Dixon does a great job working the novel into a comic book issue. If you are a fan of fantasy and enjoy comics, I highly recommend trying the book out, especially with how easy Abercrombie makes it for readers to pick up. --readingrealms.comLogen vaulting away from a cliff edge to escape a shanka is glorious, framed diagonally across the page; Glotka saying the words "Write you fat pig!" is frightening for the intensity of the expression, the sense of menace emphasised simply by Practical Frost standing behind. ...a strong visual reminder of why Joe Abercomrbie is such a major force in fantasy today, and it captures the feels perfectly --sffchronicles.co.ukIn a genre that s lacking in the comic book world this property proves fantasy could thrive in the comic book format. If you discover the characters from Joe Abercrombie s world through this comic you ll be bound to read it as well. The amazing thing is, I can see someone reading both and enjoying them all the same. 9 out of 10. --adventuresinpoortaste.com
