Stephen King's The Dark Tower - Graphic Novel series

review 1: Uneven and often flat-out ugly artwork plagues this volume. The story is fine, though I prefer its source material. The adaptation was more or less true, if a little padded, but the artwork was severely lacking this time. They couldn't decide between an impressionistic approach and an ultra realistic one (like I said, uneven). Neither approach did much for me. Still, I'll keep reading them. I've been disappointed before, only to really like subsequent volumes. Mayhap that will happen again...
review 2: I can remember back when Marvel announced this series. I was very excited. But, now that we're several books in, I've found (as others have mentioned) the art has gone downhill. Still, if there's a solid story, rough art could be tolerated, right? Well, obviously... more Robin Furth has an encyclopidiac knowledge of the Dark Tower series. But knowledge and story sense don't necessarily match up. And I'm sorry, but I've never been a fan of Peter David. So, mashing those two together and you get a flat, boring imitation of the original. Really, does EVERY damn book have to start with a "do ya kennit?" statement? So, really, crappy art, crappy story...why am I even reading these now? I guess it's out of loyalty to the Dark Tower series and Stephen King. less
