    <body><![CDATA[Unlike the first volume of this series, The Long Road Home is not actually based on King's writing, but rather fills in the gaps in between Dark Tower novels. It went well. The art is, again, totally amazing and impressive. My complaint, as with most &quot;comics,&quot; is that I can read it in one ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43109371">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my favorite fiction series looks excellent on the page, thanks to a fabulous creative team and a vetting process which includes the Eye of King.  Jae Lee is an exceptional graphic artist.  <br/><br/>You'd think knowing the entire story would kill the suspense, but not so.  The Marvel folks ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57606514">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[i wish i could give stars for both the story and the art, because the artwork is gorgeous. the story itself is pretty good, i just cringe a bit at the writing here and there. <br/>this is the second comic arc, ut the first to be outside of the books themselves. it is definitely worth reading if you...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43484770">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think this team's (David and Lee) storytelling is improving with every issue. I'm glad Lee pulled back and showed more facial expressions (or showing faces at all) in this arc, and I also liked that it was less wordy and more focused. Overall Lee's artwork is amazing as always and this series has ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65704017">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ok, i will give the authors a little credit, they had to live inside Steven Kings mind and fill in some blanks. Pretty good for a first attempt. I hope they can do a little better if they continue the series. It is tough to have to fill in blanks without adding anything substantively new.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[You either love it or hate it. I love it. I love Jae Lee's art, especially with the tone of the story. Not as heart-wrenching as the end to Gunslinger and very much a transition book. Still, a very clever story I look forward to the next book.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another six dollar B&amp;N deal. Frankly I wouldn't pay more for these books. I enjoyed this one far more than the first, but still the characters are lacking. Cuthbert is supposed to have comic, Alain is supposed to have a little more ... something. Roland is lost and angry which seems about right.
