Old hatreds, dark suspicions, and deadly machinations are the order of the day. When fate delivers Tyrion Lannister to Lady Catelyn Stark, she will have her revenge upon him for the attempted murder of her son Brandon-whatever the consequences. Meanwhile, in King's Landing, Sansa Stark, surrounded by enemies, finds an unlikely friend: the brutish, horribly disfigured knight Sandor Clegane. And as a murderous conspiracy unfolds behind the colorful pageantry of a royal tourney, Lord Eddard Stark will be approached by a mysterious new ally in his quest to solve the riddle of Jon Arryn's death.

“Damn you, Ned Stark. You and Jon Arryn. I loved you both, and you put me on a throne. Look at what kinging has done to me. Gods, too fat for my armor. How did it come to that? I swear to you, I was never so alive as when I was winning the throne, and never so dead as now that I've won it.” - Robert

Grade: A+

“In the name of King Robert’s and the Good Lords you serve, I call upon you to seize him and help me to return him to Winterfell to a wait the King’s Justice.”

From Ch. 28-30, Focus on the Stark Family In Different roles in different setting: Lady Catelyn Stark summon the command for her family and for justice, Sansa Stark as a naive and superficial princess, and Lord Ned Stark as the crime detective still continue to find the answer.

The Cover of the Mountain Vs. the Hound in the Hand’s Tournament is such Outstanding to See the image from the Novel.

Catelyn And Ser Rodrik ride to the north and stop at the Inn at the crossroads from the rain. Day later, Tyrion Lannister and his party arrive. When Tyrion surprise to see Catelyn, She convince the men from her father’s banner to seize Tyrion for assassination attempt of Bran and can face the King’s justice in Winterfell.
-Catelyn’s Action to arrest Tyrion stars unexpected causes the rivalry between the Stark Wolf and the Lannister Lions.

Sansa is exciting and devastating by the Hand’s Tournament to See each knights in the joust. After a victory Ser Loras Tyrell gives her a Rose. During the feast, Prince Joffrey is now polite to her and order the Hound to escort her back to her chamber. When the Hound tells her about how got his face burned and forces to look at his burned face.
-Sansa’s fascinating of Royal pageantry and romance in the tournament for Princess.

After the death of Ser Hugh by Ser Gregor aka the Mountain during the tournament, Ned And Ser Barristan Selmy struggle to convince King Robert for not to do in the melee. The Hound wins the tournament when he save the knight of flowers from his brother, the Mountain. Later at night, Varys visits Ned about King Robert was meant to die in the melee by the Lannister.
-Ned’s Mystery crime still continues and lost the answer as Lord Arryn’s squire Killed, there’s The a Hound and the Mountain fight scene as Brother Vs. Brother, and Barys tells zoned about Jon Arryn died of Poison and King Robert is in danger.

Catelyn believes that Tyrion is behind of Bran’s assassination attempt when she doesn’t seen him at Winterfell. Sansa still naive about he song of knight and prince but she met the Hound reveal the dark reality. Ned’s Power as the Hand of the Ming continues to find the proof about Jon Arryn’s death.

This is perfect to see the comic style if you read actual novel, you’ll understand the narrative, events, and characters. The setting is great particularly the Hand’s Tournament. The storyline is great as always follow the material. The Designs of the Knight’s appearance and swordmen of the House Banners is such quite brilliant to See the symbol, different style and different looks. Every scenes especially Catelyn summon his father’s banner, King Robert is drink and rage, the motivation of the Hound are memorable and much to see the difference from the HBO TV Series. The meleee in the Horse are great in action. The Color, Ink, And Layout are Very Well Indeed.

A bit of back story in this comic, something missing greatly in the comics so far, and the tournament, while brief, was nice and added some much needed action as well. Certainly better than the past 2 comics and it gets the series back on track. Not bad, Not bad at all.

The King doesn't take part in the melee, and Varys gives information to Ned. Lady Stark manages to arrest Tyrion Lannister, while in King's Landing the Cleganes take out pretty much everybody in the tourney.
