I have to say, this issue was rather dull, but then again, this part of the story, bland as it is, is very important later on, so I'll just suck it up I guess.
What I liked the most was the conversation between Tyrion and Jon atop the wall. It warmed my heart to see him asking Tyrion to help Bran.
And I definitely loved this part:
"Tell Robb that I’m going to command the Night’s Watch and keep him safe, so he might as well take up needlework with the girls"
Way to go sassy Snow!
We also get to meet Syrio Forel, Arya's "dancing" teacher in this issue!
All in all, this isn't the best issue, but it's still worth reading and is quite enjoyable.

Without the subtitles I'm confused about which book is which but all of the synopsis sounds familiar.

Grade: A
“You are too young to be burdened with all my cares. But you are also a stark of Winterfell. You know our worlds.” -Ned
From Ch. 21-22, 24, now that turns on table of Characters’s POV Storyline that definitely did an excellent writing from Martin, and the comic adaptation to see the true source material form seeing a television series with a different look. From previous installment of GN volumes focus of Ned, Stark, Jon Snow, And Daenerys Targaryen. Now let’s see what Tyrion Lannister, Arya Stark, And Bran Stark are doing.
The Cover of Jon Snow And Tyrion, And Direwolf Ghost standing in the top of the enormous Ice Wall is Amazing, Ice Wall look realistic that more than frozen liquid crystalline solids, perfect.
In the Castle Black, Tyrion conversation with Lord Commander, Maester, And High Officers about more recruitment for the strength of the Night's Watch To Stand Between the Realm and the darkness. Afterward, at the top of the Wall, Jon ask Tyrion to help Bran’s cripple legs, and they consider a friend and watching the haunted forest.
-Unlike his siblings, Tyrion is a good half-man with a lots of sins and a great knowledge. He made a promise a good thing like Jon ask him for his half-brother.
Arya is unhappy at King’s Landing, her father comes to talk to her about the true meaning of the family together, must prepare to face the reality, and sometimes lie can be a good way for honor. After Ned see her sword and let her keep it, Arya meets her dancing master hired by Ned.
-Arya is not a lady, she is a rebellious girl who love practice sword. And her father tells her that lie can be honorable, but Sansa’s lying is a coward that got her Direwolf Lady Killed.
Bran fells depressed of his crippled legs until he is called to the great hall to receive Tyrion Lannister for a plans to saddle that will allow Bran to ride a horse.
-Bran doesn’t remember what happen himself shortly before the Fall.
The sweet moment of the Bastard and the Imp, And Tyrion always pay his debt to people in good way. Arya is much like her father and had independently confident. Bran listen to the white walker’s terrifying tale make him feel a little better while he can’t walk.
This is great to see the comic version of the actual novel what really look in the event. It is actually easy to read a graphic novel comparison to the literary pages. The best part is shown the Flashback of the White walker tale told by Old Nan is quite brilliant. Although, it kind of dull and criticizes a character’s emotion and the female body including Septa Mordane, Direwolf should’ve been different appearance And the flaws, too. but some few character’s appearance is acceptance including Syrio Forel’s appearance is a great version of martin’s creation. Well Done!

I am already familiar with the world of Westeros and the Song of Ice and Fire series prior to reading this comic adaptation and I must say that I feel they have done an excellent job. Given, this issue is my first in reading, having not even known of the existence of them being in comic book form, and must now backtrack to read a story I already am familiar and fond with, and will definitely in keep going with the series for however long it decides to run. Storyline is pretty much dead on with the books and television series and it is fun to peer within the panels at the curious visions of how they ended up portraying the characters. Tyrion's face is peculiarly comical **no pun intended**

This is review is for the entire series.
Yes, despite all the flaws mentioned by the reviewers, which are probably true, the book is a five star read. It's brilliantly written and compels you to keep reading. So what if the books end abruptly and you have to buy the next one. You get plenty of bang for your buck. And yes, there were some predictable moments but there were plenty of surprises too. The writing is fresh and compelling and the characters are interesting and memorable. I'm not sure what readers are looking for exactly when they crack open a book but they need to lighten up. For a nominal fee, you will get hours of entertainment. Buy it. You won't be sorry. Makes a good gift too, as most people like it.

High-level story seems fine. In most cases, it seems logical. Far too graphic. Descriptions of brutal killings and rapes carry more detail than is warranted. It seems as if Martin wanted a murder or rape every three pages. Shows women in a poor light - seems women had no status except as objects. Story jumps from character to character making it hard to follow unless one draws a family tree spanning several sheets. I have heard of rich storylines but this is going too far. Overall, seems to be a cheap porn book.

By far the worst comic of the series. The reason why - It was painfully short. It was easily the shorter comic of the series by far. It felt a very small amount of time past between the time I started to the time I finished, Very disappointing.
I have reviewed every other comic so chances are you have seen my reviews for them so no need to keep repeating myself in each review. Quite disappointing considering things were picking up in the previous 3 comics.

The Bastard befriends the Imp, Bran gets a saddle that allows him to ride. Syrio Forell begins training Arya, and the Hand is tired of the small council. We also learn the story of the long night and the last hero.
