Overall, this was an excellent comic. Im looking forward to issue #2 a lot more than I thought I would, and its always so great to be pleasantly surprised like this. The creators have given us a lot more than just another western comic. Read Full Review

In truth, the book will probably be more successful for you if youre already au fait with the Dark Tower series, as the familiarity with the characters - combined with the thrill of seeing them brought to life in a new way - will make the book more accessible and will likely make this first issue an easier read. Still, its difficult to imagine this first Dark Tower comic accomplishing the difficult balancing act of catering for both sets of readers any better, and the wealth of bonus material in the form of text and illustrations at the back of the book serves to fill in a lot of interesting detail for those of us who havent immersed themselves in Kings world before.

Its a passable fantasy comic (and I'm very pleased to see a fantasy title from a major publisher), but its nonetheless burdened by an overwhelming sense of pointlessness. Later issues will probably be better, but this is a bit naff. Read Full Review
