A Királyok csatája ott folytatódik, ahol a Trónok harca végén elbúcsúztunk hőseinktől: Westerosban véres polgárháború dúl, és közeledik a hosszú, jeges tél... A Hét Királyság Vastrónjáért folytatott öldöklő küzdelemben - mely szétszaggatja a birodalmat, káoszt és pusztulást hozva népére -, hat ádáz ellenfél, hat hatalomvágyó főnemes mérkőzik egymással.
Az egyik trónkövetelő - Stannis Baratheon, Sárkánykő őrzője, Robert király idősebbik öccse - a félelmetes vörös papnővel szövetkezve a fekete mágiát hívja segítségül. Yoren, az Éjjeli Őrség egyik tagja sikeresen kimenekíti a lefejezett Stark nagyúr kisebbik lányát a halálos viperafészekké vált Királyvárból, ám az Északra vezető út sem mentes a veszedelmektől. Sansa eközben kénytelen részt venni az őrült és kegyetlen Joffrey király névnapjára rendezett lovagi tornán, míg a nővérek Deresben maradt nyomorék öccsét, Brant, különös álmok nyugtalanítják…
Először egy többkötetes regényciklus, majd egy minden nézettségi rekordot megdöntő tévésorozat, most pedig megérkeztek a képregények is. George R. R. Martin hatalmas sikerű fantasy sagájának 2. kötetét két kiváló alkotóművész, Mel Rubi grafikus és Landry Q. Walker író ültette át. Akinek tetszettek a könyvek vagy szereti az HBO-sorozatot, az egész biztosan imádni fogja a képregényeket is.
Ez a képregény-gyűjtemény a DYNAMITE Clash of Kings sorozatának első 2 számát tartalmazza, Mel Rubi rajzaival és Landry Q. Walker szövegével. A fordítást Szolga Emese készítette.
George Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin was born September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and his mother was Margaret Brady Martin. He has two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten.
Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.
In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.
As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.
In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.
Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.
Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.
The first issue starts at the same scene of the prologue of aCoK and introducing us to the ONE TRUE KING OF WESTEROS. I'm glad that the source material their using here is actually from the book rather than the HBO adaptation. Atleast that way, this wont end up to this.
Because we all know our LORD AND SAVIOR will never gonna do to such thing.
I just can't rave about this series enough. I've read, re-read and read again all the books in the series and this time decided to try the audio books.
A CLASH OF KINGS #1 Feels good to be back in the world of Ice and Fire. This comic series using the source material as its point of reference, thankfully! “Your god can keep his grace. It’s swords I need, not blessings.” – Stannis
Ze začátku mi trvalo zvyknout si na styl malby, ale postupně mě to začalo bavit víc a víc a těším se na druhou knihu. I když příběh znám, nemám problém po knížce a seriálu si jej zopakovat formou komiksu.
This is a nice addition to the beginning of the A Clash of Kings novel, a sort of visual accompaniment of sorts, and I do enjoy the art, but gods is Stannis a huge bummer in every rendition.
