The Sword and Laser discussion

Well, so far there are 12 pages up at http://www.firstlawcomic.com/ and a new one will be added every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Can be bought from Comixology, and later released as physical copies.

I'm a big fan of the books, so it's going to be fun "reading" the books again in comic form now, though one thing really bothers me about the comics already, and it's that Logen looks too Hollywoodish/good looking.
Not as brutish as I imagined him, and too few scars imo.
I know there's a book cover for the blade itself with him on it, but frankly, I never liked that one either :)

Excellent! I agree Logan's not ugly enough. And I thought the flat heads would have...flat heads?

But I'm liking it.

Logen's not ugly enough? Did you not see Glokta?

Whatever though. Free comics are always a good thing.

Ooops, egg on face... Logen ofcourse, eh, yeah, time to retcon my post :)

Since Logen was the first one I saw, he was the one I reacted to. But you absolutely correct, Glokta doesn't quite look the part either. Always imagined him, almost younger man trapped in old mans body type face.

And to pile on some more, didn't much care for the masks of the practicals, imagined them as pretty much a piece of cloth across the lower part of the face, and not an actual mask.

But anyway, mask and other changes, are bound to happen, but just can't get over Logen (and Glokta) not looking the part.

/P

It's funny that this should pop up now. I've been thinking about those books recently. I added it to my RSS feed and will follow along as new pages come out.

I agree that Logen and Glokta don't look how I imagined. I can get over Logen, but Glokta looks way too healthy / fit. I pictured him as something grotesque, horrifying even.

Ah well. I'm sure the artist will do Jezal justice.

I've been following the comics now for a while, and it's really a bit, uhm, offputting (can't find a better word for it), how different the characters are drawn compared to how I saw them in my head. Malacus Quai was just introduced, and he looks... old, older than Logen. I always figured him to be more like a bumbling and sickly looking teen.
