Daniel Abraham's riveting adaptation of the fantasy masterwork by George R. R. Martin continues. When three lords owing allegiance to Riverrun come to King's Landing to complain of Ser Gregor Clegane, it falls to Eddard Stark, in the absence of the king, to pass judgment. He declares the brutish Clegane, a bannerman of House Lannister, guilty of treason and dispatches men to bring him to justice. Knowing that this will increase the enmity of the powerful Lannisters, Eddard decides that he must send his daughters, Sansa and Arya, home to Winterfell. Meanwhile, another Lannister, Tyrion-the Imp-gains savage new allies in his quest for vengeance against Lady Stark. And Eddard, enlightened by the unwitting Arya, moves against Cersei Lannister . . . yet acts with a mercy he may come to regret.

Just like issue 10, I really like this one. It featured quite a few key moments that were explained well. Once again proving the potential that this series has.

George R.R. Martin, “A Game of Thrones: The Graphic Novel” {Adapted by Daniel Abraham; Art by Tommy Patterson} (NY: Bantam, 2014)

Issue#14

{Tywin Lannister was as much fox as lion.} - Ned.

“The First Men believed that the Judge who called for death should wield the sword. In the North, we hold to that still.” - Ned

{As Alyn helped him (Ned) down the stairs (of the Irone Throne) …} - Parts like this serve to remind me how deep George Martin's novels are. I had all but forgotten about the Alyn character, but I'm reminded that Alyn was present in the throne room when Lord Eddard commissioned Lord Beric Dondarrion to bring Ser Gregor Clegane to justice ('A Game of Thrones', Chapter 43, Eddard XI).
