  We then follow Roland and his first ka-tet to Hambry, and through their fight with the Great Coffin Hunters until... until the Charyou Tree changes Roland's life forever.
  I don't know how effective, how string this book would be to one who doesn't know the story yet (quite a lot, I think, actually), but sure in brought me back to some of my favourite characters, to the poetry and tension in the original books.
  Really good.

  The story is cut down a fair amount, but it makes little difference as everything that is important stays right where it is true to the novel.
  The art is purely astounding, suiting the Dark Tower series perfectly.
  Anyone who is a fan of The Dark Tower and graphic novels should definitely give this a read.
  Or simply anyone who can appreciate a well made graphic novel.

  I was absolutely blown away with this book. I couldn't put it down. The story was outstanding and I was totally sucked into the world of the Gunslinger from the start. The artwork is just absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. The story of the Gunslinger has come to life. I had not read Stephen King's Dark Tower series, but now I feel that I have to. I am so into this story that I would love to see what happens. Although, I am more than willing to wait for further installments of this series. The combination of Marvel and King is fantastic. I most definitely recommend this book.
