George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones #20

Dynamite's faithful comics adaptation of George R. R. Martin's landmark fantasy continues with issue #20, featuring a cover by Mike S. Miller that crackles with tension — a golden-armored knight on an ornately decorated horse charges forward, sword drawn and mouth open in a battle cry, against a blood-red sky. In the foreground, a bloodied, fur-clad figure and a smaller helmeted figure look on, with more mounted riders visible in the shadowy background. Daniel Abraham's script and Tommy Patterson's interior art bring Martin's world vividly to life, making this 2014 Dynamite series an essential companion for fans of the saga — whether they came through the books or the HBO series.
