Amazing book from the writing to the artwork and back again.

My only confusion came from the interaction between Roland and the church lady... they both seemed to know things that they shouldn't have been able to know. ( )

In the original Gunslinger, King shows us just how messed up mob mentality can be when coupled with twisted religion and a deep, dark Western. The Battle of Tull is rather one-sided, however, and it really displays how far down the road that Roland has come.

He's a lost man in a lost world and he's barely aware that there is such a thing as redemption.

On the way to the Dark Tower, there is only Ka. Fate.

When I first read the book and the portion of it that is displayed in this comic, it was stark and nastily funny and there were few people we could genuinely like. In other words, a perfect stage dressing for King.

I think I prefer getting to know the Gunslinger here over the Fall of Gilead or any of the previous comics. Having a backstory is cool, but knowing what Roland has become FIRST is better. That way, we can see all the Ka-Ka. ( )

I'm starting to find this series a little repetitive.

How many times can the gunslinger come to town and kill everyone? Though they're not exactly the same situations, we've already had The Fall of Gilead and The Battle of Jericho Hill. I guess I've had enough of whole towns being decimated.

Despite those issues, I'm on to the next one! ( )

It was great once again to see a story based on events from the novel rather than a few of the previous installments which plots were based only on passing references from the original series.

As usual, the artwork was very good and the story moved along nicely. ( )

I needed something I was confident I would enjoy. Of course, that would be a Dark Tower graphic novel. ( )
