Who else is looking forward to "The Dark Tower" comic

Stephen Kings Dark Tower comes to Marvel (one of my fave books) and anyone near London should get a ticket to Blackwells in Charing Cross Road on the 7th as Gaiman is signing his new novel. Tickets 5 or 7 pounds depending on what you are - student or adult.

I've never read any of the Darktower books. A friend of mine really likes them, and he's told me the basic story, which seems pretty good. I'm more interested in seeing the cultural and media fallout from having Stephen King involved in a comic book.

I won't try and be cool, I seriously hated Dark Tower. Worst book I've ever read.

Dork Tower, the comic strip that made fun of it was 100% better.

Has anybody read any of the Comic version of Never Where (Probably Gaiman's most famous book, after Sandaman) ?

DT is great, but many readers won't like the somewhat disturbing ending of the seventh and last book.

And I'm not sure if I want to see pictures of Roland : I have this vivid picture of him in my mind, so... Same for Eddy, Oy, Jake...

Last but not least, hopefully the continuity errors will be left out in the comic version.

I havn't actually read the book yet, but i loved the serries, it was pretty low budget, but really cool. I was pretty young when it was on !!!!!! Are you sure that was 12 years ago ?

You just had to ruin the ending didn't you?

It may have been repeated, it was a long time ago - I will google it later and see.

I didn't say anything special about the ending, and even if I did, it's not the biggest secret of the world.

And for those who cared : I loved the ending.

DT is certainly great and original, but a tiny little bit overrated. But you won't find many characters in DC or Marvel that are half as cool as Roland of Gilead. I read the stories for Roland, not so much for the rest.
