Dark One, Vol. 1

An early Sanderson story gets a graphic novel take. The base concept - what if you were destined to be the dark one? - has been told a few times, and I am not sure this is the most subtle take on it. But what it lacks in subtlety it makes up in being pretty fun. Sanderson's easy writing styles translates relatively well into the graphic novel format. I think this one actually works better than the previous attempt (white sand). I do tend to prefer his full writing than the graphic novel takes on it though - his world building is so vivid that illustrating it almost detracts from it.

This is very much an origin story so it feels like there is a lot more to come on this. The graphic adaptation is solid if not phenomenal. I am intrigued to see where it goes and it was a solid start.
