Si bien es cierto que hay algunos problemas con la edición, que creo que deben estar relacionados con la edición en español más que con el original, lo cierto es que el trabajo de adaptación y de ilustración a una obra clave de King hacen que esta serie valga mucho la pena. Disfrutable tanto si eres fan de Stephen King, como si eres fan del cómic. ( )

Graphic novel encompassing the first section of The Stand. Great to see it drawn, and compare it to how my mind pictured the characters. Kinda gory also. :) ( )

The interlude in chapter two is a perfect example of how the virus spread. Scary perfect! “… the Captain Trips chain letter, was working very well indeed.”

“All the chickens were coming home to roost.”

Indeed they were! I haven't read "The Stand" for a while, so returning to it after the COVID epidemic is pretty dang creepy! This comic adaptation is pretty good, and really well drawn, and was a nice refresher for me. It's only the beginning of the story, but like I said, in light of the recent pandemic, it hits pretty hard! I just may have to take up the novel again! ( )

This is a good faithful start to the King classic. The art is very good, the story quite streamlined but not divergent, and it gives us a very good graphic look at the even more graphic deaths.

Timely, no? Well, Captain Trips is slightly more deadly than just about anything out there. It's good to think about how bad it could really get and be thankful we're not losing everything now. ( )

WARNING - This review contains spoilers for the ENTIRE series of comics and the original novel. When I review comics, I list only the first issue and count a completed comic series as one book.

I had a horrible bout of insomnia last night, so I managed to finish almost all the books.

This was an awesome comic book. I've read [b:The Stand|149267|The Stand|Stephen King|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1213131305s/149267.jpg|1742269] so many times that I can quote parts of it. I first read it in high school in 1978. I still have my first edition copy ("T39" is printed on page 823 and everything) - It's very well worn. So, the numerous re-reads are spread out over many years.

This comic was very faithful to the original story and added bits and pieces to the story that I'd not thought about for some time. Trashcan Man always seemed like such a huge part of the original book, but as I read the comic, I realized that he wasn't. He was deus ex machina from the beginning.

I completely forgot about Nick's eye.

I am not normally a fan of American comics. In general, I find the illustrations over the top and distracting. I really dislike super-hero comics. Some comics have surprised me though. The Walking Dead is one of them. This one was another. I loved the way that the artists drew Nadine and her progression. The illustrations of her post-Free Zone are particularly good, especially her final act. I also liked Frannie's portrayal. Good stuff. ( )
