The difficulty of adapting a massive book like The Stand starts to show. The pacing in this volume isn't great and the vast amount of characters make it hard to keep up characterization. Still, the comic remains VERY true to the original and you can feel the love of everyone involved has for it.

Less about Flagg and more focused on Nick and Stu and Frannie making their way to Mother Abigail. Really loved seeing her backstory, and of course Frannie and Stu's romance. It was weird, the night I was reading the scene where Nick and Tom survive the tornado, we were having a tornado watch here. M-O-O-N, that spells tornado!

Eh, not the best in the series. The plot is moving ahead but characters are introduced lazily, and the problem of faces being so detailed they look totally different from panel to panel persists.

I am really enjoying this graphic adaptation of the series. I think they got Nadine's back story wrong though, I should check. Read it while sitting at the library during my lunch break :)

I couldn't stop reading. "One more chapter" turned into the whole book. I'm loving every second of the ride (minus the comic reading format this one changed to, as opposed to the way all the other comics I've read on kindle were set up - a way I much preferred and was easier to read than this). Great book. I want so much to stay up and read more, but I'd be up all night. It's really that good.

Probably my favorite of the series to date. There isn't much more I can say beyond that, it's pretty difficult to write a review for each book in the series. Especially if you are already familiar with the story. This one largely followed Nick Andros and Larry Underwood on their journey to meet Mother Abigail.

The story moves to act two where the characters rearrange themselves for the war with evil that seems to be lurking at the edge of their nightmares. The coalition between survivors begins as they all share the same dream - meeting an old woman in a corn field.
This volume is all about humanity dealing with the pandemic, collapsing moral objectives and utter lack of law enforcement. Few people be what they have always been while some unleash the darkness they were born with, the bias that always existed and finding odd sense of strength in the darkness of their nightmares.
There are certain passages in the book that had stood out - when Stu hugs Fran after losing a man. King delivers some of his powerful themes in those moments which Perkins captures spectacularly.
A good start to book two of the novel.
