In 2011 Dynamite Entertainment started adapting George R.R. Martin’s popular fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire with monthly comics of the first book, A Game of Thrones. It’s been two years since A Game of Thrones finished and now they are ready to release A Clash of Kings.

In Martin’s second novel of the series, A Clash of Kings, Arya has fled King’s Landing with a brother of the Night’s Watch, Sansa is in the capital under the sadistic thumb of King Joffrey, Bran is bored at Winterfell but learns something extraordinary, Robb is waging a war, Jon Snow goes north of the wall, and Daenerys seeks refuge for her people and an army to take back the throne.

“George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones is one of the greatest works of modern fiction, having hooked millions of fans around the world through the novels, television series, and our comic book adaptations,” Dynamite Entertainment CEO and Publisher Nick Barrucci said. “We are creating great comics with George, Anne, and everyone involved on his prose team, and are excited to welcome Landry Q. Walker and our very own Mel Rubi, whose work graced Red Sonja for years, as the new creative team. We are honored to be a part of one of the most exciting franchises of our time, and continue to bring the best talent to adapting these masterpieces of fantasy.”

Landry Q. Walker (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) and Mel Rubi (Red Sonja, X-Men) are working with George R.R. Martin’s creative team to adapt the author’s popular novel.

“As a long time fan of the books, I’m very excited to have the opportunity to get to play a bit in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire,” Walker said. “Taking something I have enjoyed so immensely and tackling the challenge of adapting that into the beautiful and complex language of sequential art is a dream job. For readers, I believe this comic will create an opportunity to see A Clash of Kings retold in a manner that adheres to the original visions of George R.R. Martin, while exploring what his story looks like through his eyes. We’re working hard to create a faithful visual adaptation of the novel that uses the strength of the medium of comics to its fullest capacity, and I cannot wait for readers to see what we have done.”

George R.R. Martin’s A Clash of Kings #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ April 2017 issue of the PREVIEWS catalog. It is slated for a June release.
