The Stand Vol. 2: American Nightmares by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
3.0
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Plot: America has been devastated by the Captain Trips virus. Meanwhile, Larry Underwood embarks on a mission to get out of New York City, Stu Redman plots to escape from his government captors, and prisoner Lloyd Henreid starves in jail. Throughout, Randall Flagg continues on his ominous journey across America.
Genre: Apocalyptic & post-apocalyptic, horror, thriller, graphic novel, dark fantasy.
----------
I'm not really sure about how to go about reviewing these graphic novels. Let me preface by saying that I'm a huge fan of the novel version of The Stand; it's without a doubt my favourite Stephen King book, and is probably one of my favourite books of all time. Therefore, there is no way that I'm going to be able to be objective when it comes to reviewing the graphic novel versions of The Stand. I'm going to be doing my best, but honestly, the only way I could hate these books is if Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa did to The Stand what he did to Archie comics (yes, he's behind the Riverdale mess). However, I've heard he only does that to TV shows, so here's hoping!
