This graphic novel adaptation contains more than fifty pages of exclusive content not available in the original comic books, including  a new Preface by George R. R. Martin • early renderings of key scenes and favorite characters from the novels • a walk-through of the entire creative process, from auditioning the artists to tweaking the scripts to coloring the final pages • behind-the-scenes commentary from Daniel Abraham, Tommy Patterson, and series editor Anne Groell

This is definitely not the TV show.  Instead we are treated to a reimagining of the story from the novels.  I love the illustrations.  There are just gorgeous, full of so much detail.  I especially loved the panels starring Daenerys.  While Emilia Clarke is just amazing on the TV show, the graphic novel version is to die for.  I really want to pick up Volume 2.
