Unlike the Dark Tower graphic novels, which are somewhat hit or miss, his graphic novel adaptation is just about perfect and very faithful to the book.

Love the finale to the series - my favorite of the books. I still think the whole thing was a bit rushed, but considering how long the original book is, it's to be expected.

The End. I always feel a bit of an emotional tug when I finish this story, and I'm glad to say that the graphic novel version is astounding! Six volumes, all full of the best moments from the book (and I loved the Stephen King "cameo" in this last volume as Rich Bachman.) So glad I had the opportunity to read these! Long live Nick!

Overall a very decently done graphic adaptation of my favorite book. Cheers to the creative team for accomplishing something I never thought possible.

The sixth volume of the trade paperback collections of Marvel's adaptation of The Stand is the final volume, covering the final confrontation between Randal Flagg and the forces of the Free Zone, plus all of the aftermath of that climactic scene.
This was a very strong adaptation that stuck closely to the source. I thought the look of the characters was great, the selection of dialogue worked, and the pacing was excellent. It felt familiar in a good way, an excellent revisit to a favorite story of mine.
I didn't read the previous volumes of the adaptation, but would definitely give them a look on the basis of this one.

A great end to the series. It's interesting to see what parts the adaptors felt were important to move the story along and retain the overall feel of the story.
Stephen King needs to stop adding himself to his work. I thought it was annoying when he added himself to the tv miniseries but seeing his likeness in a frame is just weird and distracting.
