About the author
Chuck Dixon
3,432 books1,035 followersCharles "Chuck" Dixon is an American comic book writer, perhaps best-known for long runs on Batman titles in the 1990s.
His earliest comics work was writing Evangeline first for Comico Comics in 1984 (then later for First Comics, who published the on-going series), on which he worked with his then-wife, the artist Judith Hunt. His big break came one year later, when editor Larry Hama hired him to write back-up stories for Marvel Comics' The Savage Sword of Conan.
In 1986, he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy with artist Tim Truman. Continuing to write for both Marvel and (mainly) Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August 1987 and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October 1987, he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, under editor Archie Goodwin. He also produced a three-issue adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between 1989 and 1990, and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June 1989.
His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series. The mini proved popular enough to spawn two sequels - The Joker's Wild (1991) and Cry of the Huntress (1992) - which led to both an ongoing monthly series (which Dixon wrote for 100 issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics), and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from #644-738 through the major Batman stories KnightFall & KnightsEnd (for which he helped create the key character of Bane), DC One Million , Contagion , Legacy , Cataclysm and No Man's Land . Much of his run was illustrated by Graham Nolan.
He was DC's most prolific Batman-writer in the mid-1990s (rivalled perhaps in history by Bill Finger and Dennis O'Neil) - in addition to writing Detective Comics he pioneered the individual series for Robin , Nightwing (which he wrote for 70 issues, and returned to briefly with 2005's #101) and Batgirl , as well as creating the team and book Birds of Prey .
While writing multiple Punisher and Batman comics (and October 1994's Punisher/Batman crossover), he also found time to launch Team 7 for Jim Lee's WildStorm/Image and Prophet for Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios. He also wrote many issues of Catwoman and Green Arrow , regularly having about seven titles out each and every month between the years 1993 and 1998.
In March, 2002, Dixon turned his attention to CrossGen's output, salthough he co-wrote with Scott Beatty the origin of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl in 2003's Batgirl: Year One. For CrossGen he took over some of the comics of the out-going Mark Waid, taking over Sigil from #21, and Crux with #13. He launched Way of the Rat in June 2002, Brath (March '03), The Silken Ghost (June '03) and the pirate comic El Cazador (Oct '03), as well as editing Robert Rodi's non-Sigilverse The Crossovers. He also wrote the Ruse spin-off Archard's Agents one-shots in January and November '03 and April '04, the last released shortly before CrossGen's complete collapse forced the cancellation of all of its comics, before which Dixon wrote a single issue of Sojourn (May '04). Dixon's Way of the Rat #24, Brath #14 and El Cazador #6 were among the last comics released from the then-bankrupt publisher.
On June 10, 2008, Dixon announced on his forum that he was no longer "employed by DC Comics in any capacity."

This second volume did not disappoint! It is as beautiful and entertaining as the first. Reading these makes me want to get back into reading the novels. I am so looking forward to reading Vol 3-6 😊

This one was the scene in which the trollocs showing up at Rand and Tam al'Thor's farm. The graphic novel version of Tam is as a large tough-looking guy. That fits better than the little fella of my imagination when I first read The Eye of the World decades ago.

Graphic novel 2 of 6 in the series. Excellent installment! Awesome art and fantastic story! I loved the novel and these graphic novels are doing an excellent job of retelling the story with art that does justice to the pictures I had in my head when I read it! Five stars!
August 15, 2015
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 how much of the first novel's plot I could remember. The middle books, particularly around where it became obvious that Jordan had completely dropped the reigns of the plot, are a blur, but I had distinct memories of everything covered in the graphic novels. I've found the same thing with A Song of Ice and Fire - where the first book is also quite well plotted, with a much tighter storyline than later books. In both cases, I feel like the authors started off with a very clear idea of a beginning, and then much vaguer notes for the rest of the series. It's a shame.
Regarding the graphic novels specifically, I found the text to be much better than what I saw in the New Spring graphic novel. It was much easier to follow what was going on, and I think I would have been able to read it even if I hadn't read the book first. I'm not sure how much of that is a real difference in quality and how much is just because the plot of Eye of the World is so much more action-oriented, relying less on narrative (and therefore more easily exportable to a visual medium), though.
The artwork was a little disappointing, though. The images looked messy, for lack of a better word - like coloured sketches. This meant that it was often difficult to tell one character apart from another - particularly in the beginning. Some of that might have been intentional, to show how ordinary the three Ta'veren are at the start of the story, but I don't feel like that came through very well.
There were also quite a few consistency issues, particularly with Moiraine's forehead pendant (which changed shape and style frequently from panel to panel).
Generally, though, I thought it was fine. It was certainly readable. I'm just scratching me head over who the intended audience might be for these. There isn't really a lot of added value for someone who has already read the novels, and I'm not sure how well someone who hasn't read the novels would be able to follow along with the graphic novel version. It seems a bit superfluous. Or perhaps they are looking for people like me, who are at the end of the novels and want a refresher on the series without having to tackle the doorstopper tomes for a second time.

De tekeningen zijn een stuk beter dan in het eerste deel. Soms vind ik dat er te veel verhaalblokken van 'de verteller' staan. Maar ja, de grafische novelles blijven dan ook bewerkingen van een heel dik boek...

The graphic novels do an excellent job of telling the novel's story. Excellent graphics, characterization, plot, and conflicts.

‘The Wheel Of Time’ is a famous multi-volume fantasy saga written by Robert Jordan and finished, following his notes, by Brandon Sanderson who was a huge fan of the series long before he became a writer himself. This is volume 2 of a graphic novel adaptation of ‘The Eye Of The World’, the first book in the saga. I haven’t read volume 1 or any of the books, but there’s a useful summary of it in two pages of text here.
On Winternight, Trollocs, servants of the Dark Lord, attacked the village of Edmond’s Field looking for Rand, Mat and Perrin, three local lads. In one of them or perhaps all was an element of latent power that the Dark Lord feared. The boys fled their home in the company of Moiraine, an Aes Sedai, and her Warder, Lan. They had arrived in Edmond’s Field shortly before the Trollocs. Moraine insists that Egwene, a local girl, come with them for she has the potential to join the Aes Sedai, powerful sorcerers. Also with them was Thom Merillin, a gleeman who performed songs, told stories and so forth.
Volume 2 opens with a group of people fleeing on horseback. They are harassed by a Draghkar, a sort of winged demon but make it to the riverside settlement of Taren Ferry. The ferryman and his crew are reluctant to work in the middle of the night but jingling coins entice them. So they journey on, stopping to make camp and getting to know each other. Secrets are slowly revealed along with much of the rich background to this fantasy world.
‘Wheel Of Time’ has a reputation as the archetypal multi-volume fantasy that stretched beyond mere trilogies into a seemingly endless future. It’s a publishing trend I’m not crazy about so I approached this warily. To my surprise, I really liked it. Oh, there are elements of Tolkien here with the happy farm boys wrenched away from their normal existence into a world-shaking conflict. So what? It’s certainly inspired by ‘Lord Of The Rings’ but Jordan introduces plenty of new elements.
I liked the general moral tone of the thing, good people being good but not too good and with the different groups having their own agendas. The Ais Sedai are not entirely trusted and there’s a sort of cult called the Children of the Light who wear white cloaks and claim to be righteous but use hot irons when asking questions. In a dream, Rand meets Ba’Alzamon, a rather satanic-looking chap who gives him a spiel about all his evil works through history. It reads like the lyrics of ‘Sympathy For The Devil’.
The art by Andie Tong is terrific, both in terms of telling the story and being easy on the eye. At the back of the book are several plates showing his work in ink, before it was coloured by Nicolas Chapuis, which shows the quality of the underlying drawing. The coloured work looks even better. Tong uses thick lines in places, reminding me of Chic Stone’s inks on Jack Kirby.
‘The Wheel Of Time’ series sold 40 million copies worldwide and has been out there a while, so I guess anyone interested in this graphic novel will already know the story. The adaptation is worth buying for the beautiful pictures and the book itself, certainly the hardback, is a quality artefact. I enjoyed it a lot but if you’re not a fan of epic fantasy you might think, what a load of Trollocs!

So, Volume 2 of The Eye of the World is out. I loved it; the artwork was great, and the graphic form makes the novel leap of the page. It was awesome seeing the meeting of some of my favorite characters such as Min and Nyneave. Also the prose and the dialogue are so good - I'm sure they're from the novel itself - that it only reminds me how much better The Wheel of Time is than any other series I've ever read. It just stands apart.
As before, my only complaint would be with the pacing... How many more of these until we're done with Eye of the World? Will it take up ten graphics novels? What about the rest of the series? Is there any hope that they'll ever all be done? I seriously doubt it... It would probably take 20 years for them all to be published...
But I'll keep reading as long as they do!

Rating: 5 stars
You know what? Yeah, this deserves five stars. And not just because of Min. Though I would be lying if I said her presence didn't help. It's mostly because every major gripe I had with Volume One was pretty much non existent in this second volume. Lan still had a few moments of disco fever with his fluorescent warder cloak, and there were some strange far away faces, but the majority - the vast majority - of the graphic novel was perfect. And I even thought the artwork got better, if that is possible (not that the first volume's art was terrible by any means). Plus, we got what I hoped for more of after reading Volume One: channeling artwork! Look at Moiraine being the badass Aes Sedai she is to all the Whitecloaks here:
Woah! That is exactly what I have been waiting for! Good job artists! Keep it up! (I've decided that I like pictures in my reviews because when I go back and read them I get all excited like a child does when reading a picture book, a child whose maturity level I probably align with most, let's be honest)
I will always be partial towards the traditional novel format, and it would be difficult for me to select a graphic novel to read purely based on the synopsis (I go by the theme of the novel, be it Doctor Who or Star Trek/Wars) so I can't say that I would give this five stars if I had not read and loved the source material. All the same, Volume Two has convinced me to continue on with the Wheel of Time graphic novels, and I'm going straight into Volume Three after I finish writing this review.

Took out the first three volumes of the illustrated The Eye of the World from the library and hoped that they would provide a great re-introduction to a series that I started over 20 years ago.
Part of the beauty of Jordan's series is the detail he puts into words and unfortunately, with hundreds of pages of history and detail filtered into a series of artistic adaptations, parts get lost in translation. The three young men that the story revolves around are finally showing some differentiation even if it is Rand has red hair, Perrin has a curl on his forehead and a bit bulkier than the other two. The two young women from their village are still very similar save their hair styles.
But it's now the additional characters that need more definition - although some appear for only short periods. The townspeople of Emond's Field were a perfect example - I couldn't tell who was who for the most part in the first volume.
But I am enjoying the re-visit to Jordan's excellent world-building epic.

Sat down a burned through this one in an afternoon. As with the first volume, art is inconsistent and characters don't look the same from panel to panel or page to page. Two characters stand out: Moiraine for some reason is actually pretty consistently drawn, and Perrin is probably the least consistently drawn. It's still fun to read, but I think at this point it's pretty obvious that the only thing that makes the paperback WOT series compelling is the time and care Jordan puts into his characters. Graphic novels don't provide room for that type of development. It's fun to see some of these fantastic creatures and people come to life, but realism doesn't replace a fully fleshed out character. Anyway, I'll finish TEOTW, but I'm not sure I'm compelled to read any more of these adaptations unless I need a refresher on books I haven't read in a while.

After reading the first volume I was thrilled to see that all issues are accessible online freely on several websites.
This volume has the #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12 issues and mostly follows the story up until they left the Baerlon. Compared to the first volume this is a little more action packed which makes it flow very easily. I do have same complaint about the fellow Marlowe's review about it is a little difficult to tell one character from another but other than that the artwork is quite enjoyable. I especially appreciated the artwork in issue #10 (the dream sequence and the Min's views of Rand) which was poster worthy.

This book was a lot of traveling and sneaking around and running away. I did love all the women in this story, and a dance scene in an inn. The boys all pretty much run together for me. I loved the character design for Min, although the women looked very similar to one another. I also liked the narration lettering, but I also thought this book relied too heavily on narration. The arosts draws hand and hand movements very well.

This second volume continues the adaptation of the first Wheel of Time novel. Chuck Dixon's work is good enough. The story moves forward at a reasonable pace.
The artwork in this one is mostly by Andie Tong, whose work is not entirely to my taste, but it's good enough, and I did find a few pages to be quite nice.
Overall, I'm enjoying this, but I'm not that excited about it. I'll keep reading it. It's nice enough for a lazy Saturday afternoon read.

Moiraine and Lan escort Rand and his group out of their village. They try to remain unnoticed and seek sanctuary in the town of Baerlon. The worldbuilding expands and if you have not read the books like me, it becomes a journey of lore and character exploration.

I love the art work in these graphic novels. Obviously it can’t compare to the written work due to level of written detail you achieve in a novel however the art work makes up for that. I spend just as much time looking at the pictures as I do reading the words.
November 3, 2022
Enjoying these comics too much and that is a good thing. Sometimes I mixed Egwene and Nynave. They both wore blue and had sort of the same kind of hair :) I think how Nynave tracked her friends and followed them to Baerlon was depicted a lot better in the book than on the Amazon Prime series.

The Eye of the World Graphic Novel V2 was Great
This graphic novel did a great job of telling a complicated story by images. The artwork was exceptional. I felt as if I was re-reading the book. I wish there were graphic novels for all of The Eye of the World series.

I read the original novel about 2 years ago but never went further on in the series so it is nice to get a quick recap before continuing on with the rest of the original series. I love how quick and easy these are to read.

I am so happy this adaptation exists. This fun romp through familiar places is a delight to see in graphic novel form.

The first volume was so huge it felt like not so much happened in this one but I still enjoyed it.
