Seeing as Martin’s novels are heavily descriptive and exposition-heavy, the art should take the place of that and the dialogue between characters should be the focus.
Napolitano’s lettering of this book is its biggest weakness. The script isn’t as sharply condensed as it could be, evidenced by the swamp of text bubbles present in not only Sansa’s chapter but also Bran and Jon’s chapters. However, it also includes a lot of unnecessary dialogue from Joffrey. The script adapted by Walker gives Sansa’s narration enough of a voice to have readers empathize with her pain. With her part of the story only being seven pages long, not much occurs other than her interaction with Joffrey. Tyrian Lannister, Joffrey’s uncle, eventually puts an end to the brutality. Joffrey has his men beat Sansa due to his anger over Robb Starks’ actions against the Lannisters.
Sansa is being physically tormented by Joffrey Baratheon who she is betrothed to. We follow Sansa Stark, Bran Stark, and Jon Snow on their respective journeys. The script decides to limit this issue to three character points of view, retaining a 23-page length. This first issue of the second volume picks up after Robb Stark won a battle against Lannister ally, Stafford. Anne Groell and Joseph Rybandt edited it.
