This is the "comic book" edition of the Dark Tower series. And it's just as awesome! Well done Stephen King! Well done!

DNF @ 40%. Life's too short to waste it on misogynistic wannabe dark and grimy novels. Might still give the book a shot, but only because I have the physical copy of it.

Peter David and company retell the story found in Book Four of The Dark Tower Series, Wizard and Glass.

I didn't realize this was a basically a re-telling of Wizard and Glass, I just assumed it was some sort of "Further Adventures of the Gunslinger" kind of thing set when Roland was young. I had a hard time reading Wizard and Glass because I had picked up on the ending somewhere. I was a little more resigned to it here, but still, this isn't my favorite of Roland's adventures.

I did like the artwork a lot. I thought it captured the moods of the characters very well, and I enjoyed scoping out each frame.

I felt like this would have been hard to follow if I hadn't read the book first. It's been so long since I read it that I still had a little bit of a hard time following along. It felt like it stopped very abruptly too. Maybe the next will pick up and explain the ending a little better.

That's really all I have to say. It was well worth the time I spent reading it, and I'm sure I'll get around to the rest of the series at some point.

It is hard to beat the original book in this series. The creative team does a good job pulling together the feel and avant garde aspects of the dark tower. I liked the flow and character development as well as the creative story

After 20 years as a Dark Tower fan, picking this up was an interesting experience. Not everything was as I pictured, but the artwork was beautiful and evocative and I enjoyed this fresh take on the story. Wizard and Glass has always been my favorite of the books, so reading this graphic novel version was a real treat.

Meh. It doesn't help that this covered my least favourite arc in the books (Mejis) but it was so self-important and dramatic in all the ways that make me roll my eyes. The art style doesn't really work for me, and while the stories at the end were interesting, I hate how they just foisted off Rhea and Jonas' evil as coincidence, a result of being pierced by shards of the mirror.
