Comicbook.com notes:
“In the latest chapter of King’s epic tale there are some fascinating connections being made within the Dark Tower mythos, expanding on the histories of the characters and revealing their twisted ‘family tree,’ says series Editor Mark Paniccia, via the release. “Fans will get a real thrill as we discover what kind of role Eddie Dean plays in Roland Deschain's plans to bring the tower down.”
I like "Three" also, but I just wonder if they'll be any good at adapting it all in a way that doesn't mess up the story.
ReplyDeleteThe second Tower book is a story that lends itself easiest to an adaptation so it shouldn't be hard to do. Unless the people in charge decide to go for the "kids" market or the widest possible audience.

I've been reading the series. Trust me, they found a way to screw it up.
