I can remember back when Marvel announced this series. I was very excited. But, now that we're several books in, I've found (as others have mentioned) the art has gone downhill. Still, if there's a solid story, rough art could be tolerated, right? Well, obviously Robin Furth has an encyclopidiac knowledge of the Dark Tower series. But knowledge and story sense don't necessarily match up. And I'm sorry, but I've never been a fan of Peter David. So, mashing those two together and you get a flat, boring imitation of the original. Really, does EVERY damn book have to start with a "do ya kennit?" statement? So, really, crappy art, crappy story...why am I even reading these now? I guess it's out of loyalty to the Dark Tower series and Stephen King. ( )

So nice to get Jake's (or rather, the first Jake's) introduction. I love seeing the Dogan, the jawbone, and the Succubus.

It's INTERESTING. The pacing in both the original and the comic is creepy, slightly crazy, and definitely poignant. Roland is a mess. Almost a zombie of a man. Definitely broken. And yet he takes the time to push everything, his quest, hunting the Man in Black, the Dark Tower, slightly aside in order to take care of a young boy. He cares for the kid as if it is his own.

Indeed, after losing Susan and his child to the Charyou tree, he has lots of reasons to fall into a slight pocket of madness over Jake.

This is a great scene in the full arc. The only one that is more messed up is the next volume. The Man In Black... here comes Roland's ultimate sacrifice... ( )

The Battle of Tull left me really wanting to read the next Dark Tower graphic novel installment, The Gunslinger - The Way Station. What struck me first about this volume was the art. The drawings of the demon in the circle of stones were amazing. The use of light and colour were different from the rest of the graphic novel and most of the series. The series tends toward being dark, which is appropriate to where the characters are going and what has happened. There tends to be a lot of dark reds and oranges. The cover of The Way Station is very blue, which I really liked.

This is the 9th book in the Dark Tower graphic novel series based on Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. This was an excellent book and really brought the old, rugged gunslinger and his trials to life.

Roland continues his pursuit of the Man in Black across the treacherous wasteland. He encounters vicious dogs and vampiric dust devils and is desperate for some sort of water source. Finally his journey takes him to a Way Station where he meets the boy Jake. Jake is from New York and has no idea how he ended up in this wasteland. Jake and Roland journey closer and closer to the Man in Black. As Roland nears his goal he must ask himself, what will he give to reach his final goal?

This was an excellent addition to the Dark Tower graphic novel series. I really enjoyed seeing Roland as his tough and rugged Gunslinger self wandering the wastelands of his world. I love the relationship that develops between Roland and Jake; it was nice to see the somewhat sensitive side to this rugged old Gunslinger.

In this book Roland makes a lot of progress toward catching the Man in Black and finally gets to speak with him some. It was great to see that progress being made. As with all of these, the story is dark and a bit twisted, but incredibly engaging.

I continue to enjoy the illustration throughout these books. They have been easy to follow, done in beautiful full color, and have excellent detail.

Overall an absolutely outstanding addition to the Dark Tower graphic novel series. I would definitely recommend this whole series to those who enjoy dark fantasy graphic novels. ( )

I find the Gunslinger graphic novels to be more accessible than the Dark Tower books. The artwork is as glorious as ever, and this volume seemed to have just enough of that doom-laden narration, do ya kennit? (Some of the prequel volumes about Roland's youth were a little light on words.) After wandering through the trackless desert in pursuit of the Man in Black, Roland befriends a mysterious boy from another world (ours, seemingly). Compared to what Roland has seen so far, this seems only slightly odd to him. ( )
