it kind of reminds me of how my feelings evolved as I read forward through Alan moore's 'The Swamp Thing'. Metaphysical ideas play heavily here too. But Like Swamp thing, I feel the thread becomes thinner as I read forward. I loved the first 3 books of this series. But this one confuses me a bit as to whether I was actually reading what I thought I was or if I had missed out on the idea entirely.

Didn't update the illustrations of Harold hardly at all to reflect that he'd lost all the weight and his skin had cleared up.

This is the middle of the story; aka it's slow. I think they are setting up the finale. I got goose bumps when all the people finally got together and sang the National Anthem. That is a wonderful moment.
I don't think much of the art for this one. I do appreciate that they took actually photos of Boulder and used that in the art. That is pretty cool.
I can't believe they took an 1100 page book and turned into 5-6 graphic novels of around 100 pages each. That is a talent. I am ready to finish this series. Such a fantastic story.

3.5 stars! So sad that everything with The Kid is truncated. I get that it has to be. Is the Stand graphic novel series not dark enough to have Trash being sodomized by a gun? No? Ugh, not cool. The Kid is grade A shithouse crazy. I love that we still got Kojak's perspective and how they started including the maps of how far some of the characters had traveled. I was especially liking Stu's because I had been picturing something like this map journey when I just reread it. The man really gets around.

A big improvement over the third volume. This volume could have had a hard time keeping up pace and not be boring. But they nailed it. There's a lot from the viewpoint of the badguys here and it's pretty good. And even though we are dealing with a big amount of characters, this volume keeps its focus on a few, making for better character-development.

Slowly people start coming together and start rebuilding society. They take the very step in building new society - lay down the law. Several things happen in that moment and the event takes an unexpected turn.
As in one side the society starts to establish, The Dark man continues to inflict his influence on several people and also a few in the free zone. Everyone is harboring little secrets; some deadlier than others.
As with King's novel, Perkins uses point of view shots in several places that complements the original content. The subtle shift in perspective is elegant and least bit jarring. This is how horror looks like...
