So far, the results have been absolutely gorgeous, as you can see by looking at the panels modeled after the Loot Train Attack from “The Spoils of War”:
Drogon dominates this three-panel story, with other important players — Jaime, Bronn, Tyrion, Daenerys, the Dothraki — jockeying for space beneath. It’s a wonderful representation of that epic battle, and mythologizes it in a way that the show itself can’t.
