I’ve got to say, I’m impressed that Dynamite has gotten The Wheel of Time back on schedule!
They’re going to need to stick with it, too. The pace they’ve set means it’s going to take 20-30 issues to adapt each book in the series, which is going to be 14 books long when it finishes. That’s an incredibly ambitious project.
Is the Buddha hardcover a reprint of the four single-issues published by Virgin? Or does it contain additional material?
