George R. R. Martin’s monumental fantasy epic continues in this dazzlingly wrought graphic novel adaptation. In the second volume of A Game of Thrones, the irresistible plot thickens and the spellbinding magic of a master storyteller deepens.
For Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, a new role now beckons: Hand of the King—a position of power second only to his majesty himself. But is a life at court, in luxurious King’s Landing, any life for a hardened man of action like Stark? Is the king’s invitation an honor he can refuse—or a mandate he cannot ignore, when faced with shocking revelations of treachery on high?

Was underwhelmed by the first issue. Retelling a tale I have already seen retold recently would have required a bold take or at least breath-taking art. Instead we got a solid adaptation with a competent artist. I pre-ordered this, so I will look at #2, but I agree with the notion that this was unnecessary.
