“The illustrations are great! I was surprised at how they matched up with my vision of Roland's world from when I had read the original series.”

“Finally decided to read the Dark Tower Series after the insistent recommendations of several friends (and a few family members). Wow! Much more metaphysical than I anticipated. Can't wait to continue on this journey with Roland (aka. the gunslinger). King is absolutely brilliant!”

“I had never really been interested in this series, having tried and abandoned it in my teens. But, it really is more engaging as a graphic novel. The art here is gritty-surreal-beauty and by the same fellow who made Wolverine's back-story even better in the "Origins" graphic novels. I was hooked and will begin nagging the public library to get more in the series. Yes, it is time to go talk to comic book guy at the Owatonna Public Library...always a good time.”

“Interesting, beautiful illustrations, but really just a rehash of Wizard and Glass.”

“I have read the Dark Tower series. While meandering at Barnes and Noble the other day, I saw this in a bargain bin and picked it up. I love the Marvel adaptation and I enjoyed it so much that I just purchased the rest of the series!”

“Great art work and a decent story. Some of the terminilogy needs explaining, but I found the story intriguing. Sor tof like Gunfight At The Ok Corale with supernatural entities.”

“Stephen King went horribly astray with the last 3 of his Dark Tower novels, the last of which was an absolute disaster. So I was leery when I learned his opus would be re-imagined in comic form. Robin Furth and co have done a wonderful job in beginning the epic tale of Roland's youth. Though we've already seen this particular story in Wizard & Glass, this fresh perspective left me longing for the glory days of the Roland Deschain saga. Future volumes plan to show us in detail parts of Roland's life only mentioned in passing by King, so I will definitely keep reading.”

The wizard destroyed Rolands world and Roland and him are the only survivers. Roland wants revange for what the "man in black" did, and is now following his across earth. ”
