What Is Fourth Wing: The Graphic Novel?
The graphic novel is a fully illustrated adaptation of Rebecca Yarros’ Fourth Wing, the first book in the Empyrean series. The full novel will not fit into a single graphic novel. Instead, Fourth Wing will be told across two volumes, with Volume One covering the first half of the book and Volume Two finishing the story. Rebecca Yarros is adapting her own novel for the graphic novel format.
How Much of Fourth Wing Does Volume One Cover?
Volume One adapts chapters 1 through 22 of Fourth Wing. That takes readers through roughly the first half of Violet’s first year at Basgiath War College, from her arrival in the Riders Quadrant through the major events of the first part of the novel. Volume Two will cover the rest of the book, adapting chapters 22 through 39.
Who Is Illustrating the Fourth Wing Graphic Novel?
Anabel Rossi is creating the artwork alongside a team of supporting artists and colorists. The official graphic novel website also confirms that the artwork was created without AI.
What Editions of the Fourth Wing Graphic Novel Are Available?
There are several editions of Fourth Wing, The Graphic Novel: Volume One to choose from. The standard release comes in:
- Hardcover
- Trade paperback
- eBook
There are also four retailer-exclusive editions, plus a separate deluxe edition for collectors.
What Is Included in the Deluxe Edition?
The deluxe hardcover comes with several collectible extras, including a metallic, foil-stamped cover, a slipcase and an exclusive art print of Violet and Xaden’s first kiss.
In the United States and Canada, Rebecca Yarros will also hand-sign copies of the deluxe edition while supplies last.
What Are the Retailer-Exclusive Editions?
Four retailers are getting exclusive versions of Volume One. Target and Barnes & Noble will each have a hardcover with an exclusive cover, while Books-A-Million and Indigo will share an exclusive paperback cover. Walmart will use the standard cover but include an exclusive bookmark. The story itself is the same in every edition, so none of the retailer exclusives include additional chapters or extra story content.
Will There Be a Fourth Wing Graphic Novel Volume Two?
Yes. Volume Two will adapt the second half of Fourth Wing, covering chapters 22 through 39 and completing the graphic novel version of the first book. There is no release date for Volume Two yet.
Will Iron Flame and Onyx Storm Get Graphic Novels?
Yes — and the graphic novel series does not stop with Fourth Wing. Iron Flame and Onyx Storm will also get graphic novel adaptations, and each Empyrean novel will be split across two graphic volumes. So this is the beginning of a much bigger Empyrean graphic novel series, not just a one-off adaptation of the first book.
Is the Fourth Wing Graphic Novel Spicy?
Volume One is aimed at adult readers, but it will not include the explicit scenes from the original novel because it only covers chapters 1–22. The official FAQ confirms that the more mature scenes will appear in Volume Two and later Empyrean graphic novels.
Will the Fourth Wing Graphic Novel Be Released Internationally?
Yes. Publishers have already announced editions in several languages, including German, Spanish, Dutch, Polish, Swedish and Portuguese.
Piatkus will publish the English-language editions across the UK and Commonwealth territories. International release dates may vary, so not every edition will necessarily arrive on the same day as the US release.
