DNF at 30% for the only reason that I needed to return the series to the library and didn’t get all the way through it.

I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.

I am absolutely loving the background story! The Dark Tower epic is so consuming and King seems to be finished with it, so these are the only other sources we are likely to get. Thinking about that, I want to give this five stars, but then I think about the illustrations...
I have no problem with the actual work. Jae Lee is a favorite of mine. When he is at Comic Con I make it a point to see him. He's kind of quiet and a bit awkward, but not on the page! My problem is not with the quality, but rather with the depictions. First, Susan looked liked a Disco Queen. Now, Steven (with a "v", take note) looks more like Danny Trejo than Clint Eastwood. I know it's unfair to hold Lee to the images I have in my mind, but I really dislike the way he portrays Steven. That's not him!
Line for line, panel for panel, the work is beautiful. I find no fault. His interpretation? That I find lacking.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Frustratingly, the story arc is the best in the series so far but the departure of Jae Lee has led to a dip in the quality of the artwork.

I just cannot get enough of Roland, Mid-World, or the Gunslingers. The Marvel series of comics/graphic novels really does a great job of fleshing out Gilead and Roland's life as a teenager, while still keeping King's tone of the books. Highly recommended for all Dark Tower fans.

All previous events lead up to a battle of a lifetime. See how Gilead fairs before the world moves on.

GN series still continuing strong - though I have to admit I always imagined Gilead's Fall to be a more gradual thing, and not such a sick and sudden sort of rout. Wasn't really much in the way of fighting, all things considered, and a lot of it was just so ignominious.
Also, I know these books aren't quite cannon, but in my head I keep trying to fit in the story from Wind Through the Keyhole into this timeline, and it doesn't quite work. Heh.

Dieser Band beschäftigt sich mit dem Untergang von Gileads, wie schon das Cover zeigt. Hier hat man wirklich die Zuspitzung der Kämpfe, der Hinterhalte, und unsere Charaktere müssen viele Verluste hinnehmen. So stell ich mir eher diese Reihe vor!
