hmmmm, sounds like it could backfire too easily.

Putting faces on the characters is just as bad as doing it via a movie.


I say leave those books to my imagination. (or maybe I just won't buy the comics)

Marvel sucks and doesn't deserve the press that Steven King would bring them.

Heh. King should have stopped after Dark Tower IV. The final book was a complete disappointment.

I wonder how much story he'll actually reveal in the comic book and if he'll attempt to rewrite the ending. If he throws in a story about Jericho Hill, I'll be happy.
