Author Topic: King/Marvel = Dark Tower Series CJ Taylor Schako Lad posted                          So really this is a licensing deal? Marvel is adapting King's series, with his approval, and expanding on it? From: Denver, CO | Registered: May 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Lightning Lad Founder posted                          That's my understanding and what Peter David hinted at in his blog yesterday after the announcement. From: Utah | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Reboot Common sense is neither common, nor sense. posted                           Apparently, it's new stories sketched out by King and hammered into workable form by Joe Q, PAD and the "continuity woman" for the DT series, Robin Firth. -------------------- My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

From: The Mainframe | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  CJ Taylor Schako Lad posted                          So why not just be upfront and clear about it in all their press releases? JoeyQ has to make it sound like the second coming or something. "Marvel is proud to announce we are working with Stephen King to produce a comic based on his Dark Tower series. We've licensed the property for adaptation and the creative teams will work closely with King to insure cohesiveness with his work and intellectual property." From: Denver, CO | Registered: May 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Lightning Lad Founder posted                          So, did anyone start picking this up? I have the first couple of issues (#3 comes out tomorrow) but haven't read them yet. The art looks great but I want some uninterrupted time to spend reading the story.

I need help. From: Utah | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Pov Paraplegic tree sloth that's been sedated posted                       Marvel will probably solicit the HC the same month as #6, and DCBS'll probably run a 50% special on it. That'll help. -------------------- "Anytime a good book like this is cancelled, I hope another Teen Titan is murdered." --Cobalt "Anytime an awesome book like S6 is cancelled, I hope EVERY Titan is murdered." --Me From: Up a Gumtree | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Cobalt Kid BOHICA posted                       I know people who don't collect comics and don't even realize I do collect them that are talking about this and buying it, so that's always good. I haven't picked any issues up yet. I'm wondering if I should buy them now or wait for the trade. I'm already so stretched thin as it is by Marvel & DC alone (and starting to wonder why I even bother).

Drop that deadwood that's dragging on your soul (and wallet! ) And King's a book author-- I don't think he'd think less of you waiting for this in hardcover... -------------------- "Anytime a good book like this is cancelled, I hope another Teen Titan is murdered." --Cobalt "Anytime an awesome book like S6 is cancelled, I hope EVERY Titan is murdered." --Me From: Up a Gumtree | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Pov Paraplegic tree sloth that's been sedated posted                       Heading Marvel's solicits for November: DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER BORN PREMIERE HC Written by PETER DAVID & ROBIN FURTH Penciled by JAE LEE & RICHARD ISANOVE Cover by JAE LEE & RICHARD ISANOVE “The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” With those words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen King’s Roland — an implacable gunslinger in search of the enigmatic Dark Tower, powering his way through a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic. Now, in a comic book personally overseen by King himself, Roland’s past is revealed! Sumptuously drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, adapted by long-time Stephen King expert, Robin Furth (author of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower: A Concordance), and scripted by New York Times Bestseller Peter David, this series delves in depth into Roland’s origins — the perfect introduction to this incredibly realized world; while long-time fans will thrill to adventures merely hinted at in the novels. Be there for the very beginning of a modern classic of fantasy literature! Collecting DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER BORN #1-7. 232 PGS./Parental Advisory …$24.99 From: Up a Gumtree | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Cobalt Kid BOHICA posted                       I might get the hardcover. I recently read books #1-4 and have completley in love with the series. Books #5-7 are on my must buy list right now and I'll hopefully be getting them shortly. I'm more excited about this than most things out right now!

I just started the hardcover collection. Beautiful art, engrossing story. I'm torn between wanting to keep reading and being afraid I'll miss story points if I don't put it down for the night, and pick it back up with fresh eyes tomorrow. Great stuff. -------------------- "Anytime a good book like this is cancelled, I hope another Teen Titan is murdered." --Cobalt "Anytime an awesome book like S6 is cancelled, I hope EVERY Titan is murdered." --Me From: Up a Gumtree | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Pov Paraplegic tree sloth that's been sedated posted                       The next chapter of the Dark Tower comics --The Long Way Home-- starts up with #1 scheduled to hit stores on March 5th. -------------------- "Anytime a good book like this is cancelled, I hope another Teen Titan is murdered." --Cobalt "Anytime an awesome book like S6 is cancelled, I hope EVERY Titan is murdered." --Me From: Up a Gumtree | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged |
