I was reading this article earlier today and thinking about it…and thought I’d come in here and see what, if anything, others think of it. I was hoping for a Dark Tower movie (or maybe a mini-series) to be honest…but a graphic novel might be cool if its done well.
Well, it’s not a “graphic novel,” it’s a comic book. It’s being serially released as individual issues. Reminds me of the joke about “did you read the new graphic novel in that piece of bazooka bubblegum?”
The first two issues have been great so far. The art style is (IMHO) quite in line with the vibe of the books.
My only worry is that they’re going to spend the bulk of the series re-telling the events of the novels rather than telling a new story, which is what the series was originally solicited as being. So far, at least through issue 3 (of only 7), it’s all backstory that’s already in the novels.
