A Song of Ice and Fire comic book adaptation

[Nuytsia]

Concerning my recent absence: I have been totally engrossed replaying Baldur's Gate. Now that college is starting again, I am starting to fall back into my normal rhytm.

Wow finally a game you've played that I've played too! Hehehe.

Why another adaptation at the moment the first adaptation is getting started and the main series isn't even finished yet?

I saw the news about the comic too. I don't know the answer to your question!
My question is, how come the way the ASOIAF characters are depicted in artwork (eg the comis, calendars, etc) always looks fine to me, but the way they have interpreted the look of the characters in the TV show seems wrong to me! Like, what's with Jon Snow's curly hair? Looks like a Spanish pirate or something.

Look, I don't know why it's taking the guy so long to write A Dance with Dragons, but I can wait and I'm sure it will be awesome when it finally comes out.

I don't know either, but I must admit I was pretty amused when Robin Hobb made a blog post recently about cutting down her internet time to allow her more quality time to write and someone posted a comment 'send a copy of this post to GRRM! Stat!'

However, there seems to be an awful lot of stuff recently with GRRM's name on it that he didn't actually write himself. The following works are either ongoing or will be released soon:
.............. But what did he actually write the past six years? Two or three short stories? And yet his name is all over the place.

I guess the cynical answer is that it's a good way to make money? Maybe he's lost the passion for writing. I guess you can't force it.
