  And where would a Dark Tower review be without complimenting the art. This is some of the most gorgeous imagery I've ever seen in a comic book. Jae Lee's vision of Mid-World is beautiful and terrifying and ethereal all at once. Richard Isanove continues to prove he might well be the best colorist in the industry. Many pages in this issue don't have much in the way of background detail, but the eerie use of color and haze more than makes up for it. If Marvel can't keep the two artists around for the remaining four Tower projects, I'll be literally heartbroken. The same goes for the entire creatie team, really. Dark Tower comics represent a creative perfect storm of sorts, and I can't imagine future installments without every last one of them. Read Full Review
