----------

I'm not really sure about how to go about reviewing these graphic novels. Let me preface by saying that I'm a huge fan of the novel version of The Stand; it's without a doubt my favourite Stephen King book, and is probably one of my favourite books of all time. Therefore, there is no way that I'm going to be able to be objective when it comes to reviewing the graphic novel versions of The Stand. I'm going to be doing my best, but honestly, the only way I could hate these books is if Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa did to The Stand what he did to Archie comics (yes, he's behind the Riverdale mess). However, I've heard he only does that to TV shows, so here's hoping!

The gang continue their trek across America. They are all converging with Mother Abigail or the Man in Black. The man in Black is making it either your are with him or you are against him. There are some crazy people out there and people are dying.

This continues to tell this story true to the source. It is very well done. I'm enjoying this and I can't wait to get the next volume.

The difficulty of adapting a massive book like The Stand starts to show. The pacing in this volume isn't great and the vast amount of characters make it hard to keep up characterization. Still, the comic remains VERY true to the original and you can feel the love of everyone involved has for it.

Less about Flagg and more focused on Nick and Stu and Frannie making their way to Mother Abigail. Really loved seeing her backstory, and of course Frannie and Stu's romance. It was weird, the night I was reading the scene where Nick and Tom survive the tornado, we were having a tornado watch here. M-O-O-N, that spells tornado!
