Stephen King's The Dark Tower - Graphic Novel series
review 1: I love The Dark Tower. I love the mythos around Gilead, Roland's home. And I think that the comic adaptation of Wizard and Glass, the first volume in the Marvel adaptation of The Dark Tower, was just about the best it could possibly be. But this volume missed the mark.

review 2: The fall of Gilead is another step along the path leading to The Dark Tower and the Gunslinger, the first novel of Stephen Kings series.

Finally the tension built in the previous books is released as the Good Man John Farson and his mutant army arrive at the gates of Gilead. With traitors rife throughout, the plot certainly doesn't suggest a happy ending, its an ending filled with inevitable tragedy but you need to see it to better understand why Roland dedicates his life to finding the Dark Tower. less
