Mankind lives in silos spotting a devastated world. Juliette Nichols works on a very low level of the silo. She works to maintain the mechanical construct that keeps the Silo running. But after the Sheriff dies, she is tasked with becoming the Sheriff. As she learns her new job she begins to suspect there is something that is not being told to the inhabitants. We find that the IT department has been limiting the flow of information and this leads to a huge cover-up about the true function of the silos and who created them. I don't know if Shift and Dust will be getting the graphic treatment but I hope they do as WOOL the graphic novel has really enhanced my enjoyment of this already spectacular series. Given that I read and reviewed the book on which this is based, I suppose I should give this graphic novel a proper review. Now I have only ever really read one graphic novel before which was the first Walking Dead issue so I am by no means a veteran of reading these but in graphic form WOOL looks amazing, the illustrations are all in beautifully subdued hues,reds, purples, blues it just looks incredible but the one thing that totally threw me was the design of the silo. Short stories (published in The Apocalypse Triptych trilogy and Howey's anthology Machine Learning [8])
