In 2049, freshman Congressman Donald Keene is recruited by Senator Paul Thurman for the CAD-FAC (Containment and Disposal Facility) project, ostensibly an underground repository for the world's nuclear waste to be constructed in Fulton County, Georgia. Donald, who has an education in architecture, is tasked with designing a self-sustaining shelter, a Silo, that will be built near the CAD-FAC for facility workers to use during emergencies. Holston is the sheriff of the Silo. Three years ago, Holston's wife Allison became convinced that the outside world was livable and that the IT department, which runs the external sensors, had deceived the rest of the Silo. She went to clean willingly, but apparently perished. Still grieving the loss of his wife, Holston also asks to go outside. He is given a protective suit and sent outside, but when he exits the Silo, he sees a healthy, vibrant world. Encouraged by this sight, he happily cleans the Silo's external sensors and then explores the environment. However, he is forced to remove his helmet when he runs out of air, and at that point, he discovers that the world is actually toxic and his wife truly is dead. The suit's visor had been masking reality with a computer-generated image. Holston dies near his wife's abandoned body. La historia se desarrolla en un silo subterráneo donde la humanidad sobrevive a un desastre que ocurrió años atrás en la superficie. La gente del silo, o al menos las que nos presentan, está dividido entre los IT (los dirigentes, los que manejan los servidores) y los mecánicos (los obreros). Jules, la nueva sheriff, ha sido nombrada en contra de la opinión del jefe de IT y cuando descubre un misterioso archivo en el portátil de su predecesor .... Y hasta aquí puedo leer. Justin V. Gray is an author, graphic novelist, scriptwriter, and video game writer. He previously worked as an advocate for victims of crime, a chef, a fossil hunter, and a micro-photographer specializing in prehistoric insects and plants trapped in amber. If you have read it, I'd love to hear if it has changed your idea of what the silos look like, it certainly changed mine!If you've read the book and you're curious about the graphic novel adaptation, do what you will. I won't try to stop you. Part 1 - 3 stars If you haven't read the novel, this graphic novel will be very hard to follow. And the illustrations were just ok, and not nearly the quality that I had expected. I will update my review after subsequent deliveries, but for now, I'm a bit disappointed.

Hollow, lifeless, empty and unfocused these are the words that spring to mind when I was reading this graphic novel adaptation to Hugh Howey's amazing Wool (Silo #1). I will try to be as non spoiler as possible but at the same time I will make a lot of comparisons between this and the book that it was based on. The story of Wool takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth. [9] Humanity clings to survival in the Silo, a self-sustaining subterranean city with 144 floors. No records of the time before the Silo remain. All residents of the Silo are taught that the outside world is toxic and deadly, and the Silo's cardinal rule is that anyone who expresses a desire to go outside must be sent there to clean the external sensors with a wool cloth. Those sent outdoors invariably clean the sensors as instructed, but die within minutes, reaffirming to the Silo residents that the outside is uninhabitable.Del Rosario, Alexandra (August 18, 2021).

This was okay, but not great. I suspect the novel may be better than the graphic novel version I read. Self-published e-book author: 'Most of my months are six-figure months' ". CNN. September 7, 2012 . Retrieved September 8, 2012. Overall a decent read, but if you haven't read the original books then this could be very confusing. It almost was written like you were expected to have read the original books before reading this, which is fine I suppose, but to bring in a new audience I would have thought they'd have aimed for a more complete graphic novel version. In addition to the virtual editions, individual paper comics should be hitting stands before too long. Can’t wait to see those. And now, to whet your appetite, I’ve got some of the first rough sketches Brox made as he was reading the novel and thinking about these characters. Enjoy. More sketches after the break. First, Holston and Solo: There are way too many panes, which limited the artist from drawing more detail. There isn't enough text or dialogue - it would probably make little sense to anyone unfamiliar with the story.Short stories (published in The Apocalypse Triptych trilogy and Howey's anthology Machine Learning [8])

As I write this review I am getting more and more angry at this graphic novel...I went from giving it 3 stars to 2 stars...but now I even want to give it 1. It's not worth your time. If you really want to enjoy an amazing story, read the book...if you don't have time to read the book, DON'T READ THIS...it won't save you time, it won't make you like Hugh Howey's work and it won't make you want to read the book...all it will do is ruin the story for you...it's a shame...Boog, Jason.

The stairs to start with spiral down the centre of the building where as I had always pictured them running around the sides. The actual floor heights are massive about twice the size I had imagined, areas such as the cafeteria and the gardens are just vast, one scene where you see the mayor walking through the gardens just gives you an amazing perspective on how big the actually are, they are almost cathedral like with the pillars of plants in rows up each side. This is the story of mankind clawing for survival, of mankind on the edge. The world outside has grown unkind, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.
