Wool: The Graphic Novel (Silo Saga)

Product Information

Given that I read and reviewed the book on which this is based, I suppose I should give this graphic novel a proper review. I do wish they would have gone into more background regarding how things got to be this way and why. It almost was written like you were expected to have read the original books before reading this, which is fine I suppose, but to bring in a new audience I would have thought they'd have aimed for a more complete graphic novel version. As the residents of Silo 18 undertake the excavation of a tunnel to Silo 17, Thurman is awakened and reasserts control over Silo 1, resulting in Donald being beaten and imprisoned.

It moved too quickly from scene to scene, and the artwork was so dark it was hard to see what was happening (yes, I get why it was dark, but the effect was more frustrating than atmospheric).

In a ruined and toxic landscape, a community exists in a giant silo underground, hundreds of stories deep. This is one of the more grounded post apocalyptic comics I've read recently that didn't leave me scratching my head pondering WTH was going on (East of West I'm looking squarely at you). Instead of cleaning the sensor, she becomes the first cleaner to walk out of the sensor's range of sight.Bernard finally finds a pretext to condemn Juliette to a cleaning, but one of Juliette's friends in Mechanical, Walker, secretly arranges for her protective suit to be made out of quality materials, unlike all previous protective suits which were secretly designed to fail and constructed of intentionally defective materials. L. [a]), an initiative to preserve humanity in the event the species was threatened with extinction. Jimmy Broxton is a designer, illustrator, and comic book artist who cares way too much about “negative space," "pattern value,” and the optimum consistency of waterproof drawing ink. An unlikely candidate is appointed to replace him: Juliette, a mechanic with no training in law, whose special knack is fixing machines. In a society full of regulations meant to protect the community, Sheriff Holston, unexpectedly breaks the greatest taboo of all: he asks to go outside.

Sent in six parts, I found myself anxiously awaiting each chapter, but feeling as though each was somewhat lacking after reading them. And now, to whet your appetite, I’ve got some of the first rough sketches Brox made as he was reading the novel and thinking about these characters. I'm actually sorry to give this such a low rating since I loved the idea of the story, but without having read the original books first (which I don't feel should be a prerequisite), the story line was just too unclear for me.Honestly, had this been expanded to at least two volumes, I think the story and characters would have improved exponentially.
