World War Z - Graphic Novel
Hrm indeed.
It would be hard to do a good rendition of World War Z in any medium that doesn't allow for long and subtle storytelling. Because that was it's charm; as a collection of small interviews taken after the war and giving a retrospective on fictionally historical events as told by the survivors. In a format like a movie or graphic novel the norm is "show not tell" and we end up with someone trying to either 1) portray story fragments without the interview format to glue it all together smoothly or 2) trying to make a single coherent story out of it.
Either way, it may be set in WWZ and it may end up being good, but it would not be WWZ.

I'll hope that they can pull it off, but you're right, it'll be tough.
I am curious to see if the artist(s) vision of the events in the book match my imagination.
