Dark Tower Appreciation thread!

Yeah. The new previews lists Fall of Gilead #1. Art by Isanove. Cover by Lee and Isanove. I fear this may cause the book to loose some steam. Anyway, if you like reading the books are great. Wizard & Glass was my favorite (4th of the 7). The Hambry storyline that was in Gunslinger Born is just great. So much more depth.

I hope the comics end before the series of novels' end - just so the end won't off a bunch of comic-book fanboys, too...

 

I will say this about the books: while I didn't enjoy the last novel much at all, in the end, Roland got what he deserved.

this preview listing doesn't necessarily mean that lee isn't doing the interiors...certainly there has to be some source other than preview to confirm or deny that Jae lee isn't going to continue his badazz work on DT.

Copied from Marvel Preview:

 

COVER BY: JAE LEE

WRITER: ROBIN FURTH

PETER DAVID

PENCILS: RICHARD ISANOVE

INKS: TBD - MID

COLORED BY: RICHARD ISANOVE

THE STORY:

A horrified Steven Deschain learns that the deadly seeing sphere called Maerlyn’s Grapefruit has been stolen from his chambers! Far worse, when he enters his wife’s rooms to arrest her for the theft, his son Roland is standing over her body with a gun in his hand. The youngest gunslinger has perhaps committed the most hideous crime of all!

Continuing the epic saga based on the best-selling Dark Tower novels by the master Stephen King. It’s the first chapter in the most incredible storyline yet.

 

Lee will bring everyone to the series with the cover. Isanove is a great colorist- it will be interesting to see his pencil work.

[PhiGam-migration]

oh wow....yeah, i'll be interested in seeing isanove's pencils

 

wonder why lee left...is he doing something else now besides the covers for dead iron?

[PhiGam-migration]

well, what did you all think of the sorcerer? more importantly, isanove's work?

 

i really liked seeing farson in so many pages that dude is badazz!!

 

i thought the artwork was nice, and i can't wait to see how isanove draws roland

I can't believe this thread doesn't have a bigger following on here. I think that the Dark Tower comic series will become a modern classic, with the combination of Lee's artwork (and Isanove's, of course), and the writing acumen of Robin Furth, it really surprises me that this thread isn't already over 25+ pages.

 

Anyway...Picture time!

It's a great read. Loved the way the last arc ended.

 

Can't say the same for The Stand. I grew bored with it. Probably is better in the TPB format.

I'm following all three adaptations, dark tower, the stand, and the talisman. The dark tower series has the highest production value of them all by a wide margin.

 

I am going to attempt to assemble a collection of every printed variant in the highest grade possible. I went for the 9.8 on that issue I posted because of three things. 1 - while 9.8 is nice, this one is a little scarcer due to being signed by both Peter David & Isanove, 2 - its the book market variant, and 3 - it's got that nifty Isanove doodle of Roland's mug on the cover.

Boyfriend is picking up the hard backs pretty regularly, but I'm having soooo much trouble getting through the first one, how sad is that?! I loved the books, but it seems the comic is dragging.

 

Eric loved 'em tho P:

 

I'll keep pushin' through it....

 

Nice book, MoundCity =)
