nice. I\'m reading Cell right now, a novel by Stephen King and one of the characters is an illustrator whose got a comic book deal for the Dark Wander, which must be loosely based on the the Dark Tower comic or something, probably wrote Cell while the deal for the Dark Tower was being finalized.

^^absolutely, Cell is his most recent book, cam e out right after we found out about the comic, that\'s interesting.  That\'s one thign I love about King, the connectivity of all his work

sorry for the thread detour

[Spacey]

is the comic going to follow the Dark Tower story or just a loose resemblance of it?

[Me!]

It\'s a whole nother story.  I beleive it\'s Roland\'s beginings (kinda like Wizard and Glass if you\'ve read the series)

The comic series will mark the first time Stephen King has produced original content for an ongoing comic book project. The series will expand the saga of King’s epic hero, Roland Deschain, whose quest to save the Dark Tower is captured in seven best-selling novels published over the course of twenty-five years. King’s unparalleled storytelling power will inform new stories that delve into the life and times of the young Roland, revealing the trials and conflicts that lead to the burden of destiny he must assume as a man, the last Gunslinger from a world that has moved on. The comics will work in conjunction with the novels, further supplementing and defining the saga’s mythology under the direction of the acclaimed author himself.

I was hoping the comics would deal with the earlier history of the world instead of focusing on Roland. There is so much potential why waste it further fleshing out a character we have already followed for 7 books.

I hear what your saying but I\'d also say don\'t count it out yet, I have faith in King.
