This is great news and can only be good for the comic book industry. I've often wanted to check out the Dark Tower series but never have before...this might be the time for me to start!

I'm with Cobalt. I always wanted to read the DT series. This can only be good for both parties. I'm a big Jae Lee fan.

Isn't this "Plotted by Robin Furth and Joe Quesada, art by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, scripted by unknown, based on a story idea by Stephen King"?

The press release says "new, original content produced by Stephen King". No mention made of those other hacks.

Interesting that the other names were left out of the official release run by the real news media. They hyped up Lee and King but no one else. Sounds like they want to line up sales before saying if King is truly writing it or not.

Thanks for that link Reboot. After reading that article I'm more inclined not to pick up the series. Not because it won't be written by King directly but because of the misdirection they seemed fit to put out there instead of being upfront with the truth. They knew from the beginning King wouldn't be writing this but did their best to not admit it.

I am suprised he is not writing as well. My gf is a big Stephen King fan. So I've been looking into reading something of his. I'm not much of a horro guy so this book series of his caught my attention. If anything I will get the books and maybe the comics.
Yeah but King should write it.

So, "Plotted by Robin Furth and Joe Quesada, art by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, scripted by Peter David, based on a story idea by Stephen King" then?

I don't know how many of you have read the series of books, but--and I won't spoil the way it ends--however they tell the story in this comic will fit very nicely alongside the story in the books. Whether it's a prequel, a sequel, or pretending to be an adaptation.
