It was easier to read this for me than the actual book. I disliked the artwork, mainly for it's inconsistency with characters looking the same or even being recognizable. When there are three boys who all have brown hair and I can't tell them apart... that's a problem for me. I like that the story itself is distilled down to it's essence, it makes it easier to follow and the story doesn't overpower itself. I hope at some point they change artists, or the current artist refines his characters so

While I've read The Eye of the World, I barely remembered any of it. So decided to read the comic alongside the show instead. Not a big fan of the artwork, but it gets the core of the story right.

Aww how nice. All of the strong, independent female characters just happen to be 5'2 with 36DD breasts, 20 inch waists and form-fitting, cleavage-showing dresses. But the men are all imperfectly perfect of course. Robert Jordan would be so proud.

Years ago, I attempted to read The Eye of the World, the first book in the Wheel of Time series. I got past the two prologues and halfway through the first chapter before I gave up, but I'm not sure if I can remember exactly why I put the book down. Maybe I found it boring, maybe I wasn't ready to commit to a 14-book series. This was before my time on Goodreads, so unfortunately there's no review to remind me of what I was thinking.In any case, I stumbled across the first volume of the graphic n...

I read the first three books about a decade ago. I am not a big fan of re-reading books (too many new ones to read), but I want to try and read the whole of WoT and need reminding. This is where I start. Slightly spoilery.This comic book version of The Eye of the World is Volume 1 and contains seven chapters, that do not actually match up with the chapters in the book (10 chapters). Why not have the same chapters as the book? I like the artwork. Well drawn, some very nice details. Some pages hav...

My beloved 'hubby' found this for me and I was so excited that I read the first volume there and then. I love how graphic novels bring something new into a well-known story, and how for those unfortunate souls who does not find pure pleasure in reading the book and all its pages, can get much and more for reading the few sentences and looking at the beautiful illustrated pictures which are found within.

I took all the Wheel of Time-related graphic novels out from the library and brought them along on vacation. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that The Eye of the World comes in six volumes, and only brought the three my library has. I got to the end of the third pretty certain that a good chunk was missing and, sure enough, I'm only halfway through. Still, I figured I'd better write a review, since I don't know when I'll be able to get my hands on the next three volumes.I was quite surprised by h...

I read this for Booktube-A-Thon 2014, for the book with pictures category. This graphic novel is filled with gorgeous illustrations. You know what they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." and I know this cover is ugly but the images inside are beautiful.

http://www.rantingdragon.com/the-eye-...When the graphic novel adaption of New Spring, the prequel to the epic Wheel of Time series, was released on January 18th, it was well received here at the Ranting Dragon. Having loved that, we’re even more thrilled to be able to review the first volume of The Eye of the World Graphic Novel, the comic adaption of the first novel in The Wheel of Time series.An aesthetic beautyThis absolutely stunning hardcover does The Eye of the World justice.

For all the hype that Wheel of Time has, I couldn't find much interest in the bulk of the story, world or characters. The supposedly main character, Rand was uninspiring, and I was more vested in the progress and evolution of Perrin, the wolfman, than any of his friends. That it took the last few pages of the book/GN to see any real development of Rand means I won't have the stamina or patience to weather more books from this story.The entire GN feels like an intro more than a proper first volum...

Funny how the adaptation is almost as slow as the books lol.

I love the Wheel of Time series. It has always been my favorite fantasy series. To see it brought to life with art is a dream come true and the artists did not disappoint. Amazing!

The artwork is not very consistent, but it's such a different feeling to go back to the beginning, like look at all this widdle babies, oof😭 And most of the random tidbits of information make sense now and feels great to pick up the references and subtle bits of foreshadowing!

Story is great. Jordan's series is one of my favorite fantasy series of all time (ok THE favorite). What was really holding this back was some pretty rough artwork. and being as that was all this could add its a failure for me.

An entertaining read that makes me interested in the source material. The world-building is great, and the characters are interesting, even if development seems sacrificed for some of the minor ones. There are a lot of characters. The art left something to be desired though. Some of the characters are difficult to tell apart. The artist is much better with scenery and creatures.

It has been over 6 years since I last read The Eye of the World so I wanted to read it again before the TV show comes out. My school library only had this graphic novel version available so I figured it will be a cool way to follow this incredible story in a comic format. I am very happy that Chuck Dixon and Chase Conley decided to put forward this project. This volume has the #1, #1.5, #2, #3, #4, #5, and #6 issues and follows the Two Rivers people's first encounter with the Shadowspawn as well...

The graphic novel was a very good refresher of what's in the books ... a sort of Cliff's Notes on the story. I really enjoyed this and the artwork was striking.

I enjoyed this graphic novel adaptation of The Eye of the World (Wheel of Time Book 1) quite a bit more than I expected to after my disappointment with the New Spring graphic novel. The only frustrating thing is that they are being produced so slowly. I would love to "reread" the series (up to where I left off) in this new form, but despite publication of the first graphic novel volume back in 2011, there are still only four published volumes, and that's still only covering part of the first boo...

Pretty decent. Love the artwork in this, it's dark and rich and perfect for this immense story. Kind of sad that the story barely gets started in this volume, but I appreciate that there was a lot of info/set up that needed to be given. Yeah, it was handled really well. And the characters, and magic system, were nicely set up and explained. Perrin looks a bit too gruff and brutish in my opinion but Nyaneve, Moraine, Rand and Matt are spot on.

I'm hooked on this series for the graphic novels
