Stephen King's The Dark Tower #8
Битва при Талле
Роланд Дискейн, последний стрелок Гилеада, продолжает своё преследование человека в чёрном.
Среди песков пустыни он находит городок Талл. Население не превышает сотни человек. Но тихим этот городок назвать нельзя. Совсем недавно здесь проезжал человек в чёрном и оставил для Роланда несколько сюрпризов: одни из них Норт - пьяница и травоед, умерший незадолго до появления Уолтера О'Дима в Талле; второй - Сильвия Питтстон, местная проповедница. Роланду предстоит на себе испытать силу веры жителей Талла.
И если вы ещё не поняли, почему от холодного блеска в глазах стрелка вас бросает в дрожь, эта книга ответит на ваши вопросы.

The Battle of Tull continues the chronologically ordered graphical novels, as the second volume covering the first published book The Gunslinger. The trail of the Dark Man leads Roland to the town of Tull, dank, dirty and dying. But what's this, has the Dark Man left a trap for Roland?
The dark unrelenting Battle of Tull is the moment in the book series, when I had to ask if Roland is a force for good, a force for evil, or just simply a force for himself! Robin Furth and co. continue their very good reimagining of the life and times of Roland, The Last Gunslinger with this sparse and unrelenting tale of a town at the end of the inhabited world coming in between the Dark Man and the Gunslinger. 8 out of 12.

This is the issue of the graphic novel series where we join the events of the original book series at the beginning of the first book. While the quote didn’t make an appearance, here is a reminder:
“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.”
For those who have not read the series . . . you probably should before reading the graphic novels. Or, at least start at the beginning of the graphic novels. It has been my opinion as I have gone along that these graphic novels are best read after you have already gathered everything from the books. But, honestly, they do a pretty job at sharing the story, so you will get everything if you just read these
The art continues to be great! It does a fantastic job at graphically presenting the essence of the Gunslinger’s world. A world on its way out. A world in decay. A world of darkness and mystery. A world lacking in beauty and rich in death. A world where the choice to head off across the barren desert with no idea of what is on the other side is actually the best choice. All of these things are represented in every line and every brushstroke.
I hope that this series continues strong. I have heard rumors that it doesn’t hold up the farther that it gets into the story line from the book series. Also, it appears that they published the last volume back in 2017 with the series unfinished and, at this time, there is no information as to whether it will ever continue. I kind of hate knowing this early on that I may get to the end and it will be unfinished – even knowing what happens from the book series. We shall see!
Regardless of any concerns for the future, this series has been great so far – very enjoyable! I highly recommend it to any King and/or graphic novel fan.

I'm starting to find this series a little repetitive.
Despite those issues, I'm on to the next one!

In the original Gunslinger, King shows us just how messed up mob mentality can be when coupled with twisted religion and a deep, dark Western. The Battle of Tull is rather one-sided, however, and it really displays how far down the road that Roland has come.
He's a lost man in a lost world and he's barely aware that there is such a thing as redemption.
On the way to the Dark Tower, there is only Ka. Fate.
When I first read the book and the portion of it that is displayed in this comic, it was stark and nastily funny and there were few people we could genuinely like. In other words, a perfect stage dressing for King.
I think I prefer getting to know the Gunslinger here over the Fall of Gilead or any of the previous comics. Having a backstory is cool, but knowing what Roland has become FIRST is better. That way, we can see all the Ka-Ka.

I always loved and hated this story.
Never felt like Roland should have gone and stayed; but Ka does not care about my wants or needs.
Ka is a wheel that ever turns.

After my painful disappointment over Wind Through the Keyhole, I hoped this installment of Marvel's Dark Tower adaptation would act as a balm on my Dark Tower-less existence. Up until now, this graphic novel series has largely been the account of Roland's young life and his formative years to become a gunslinger. Much of the source material is drawn from King's Book 4 Wizard and Glass; the first five graphic novel volumes are mostly concerned with Roland's original ka-tet of Cuthbert and Alain and climax with the tragic and bloody (is there any other kind?) Battle of Jericho Hill. I stopped after Volume 2: The Long Road Home for reasons I tried to express here.
Unable to resist giving the series another try, I picked up Volume 6: The Journey Begins and I am so glad that I did. It is -- in a word -- awesome. For me, older Roland is where it's at anyway, where he has been forged like iron into something ruthless, battle weary, and
Dark Tower fans will know the name Tull. It's the first time we meet Roland in the original Gunslinger book that launched an epic seven book magnum opus. It is in the sleepy, mutated, desert town of Tull that we learn of Roland's deadly reflexes and lethal skill with his sacred Sandalwood "widowmakers". We get a glimpse of the darkness and despair he carries around inside of him (and that to try and befriend him will most likely shorten your life by a fair span). At this point in the story, Roland has been friendless for quite some time, and his edges have grown sharp and jagged. This Roland -- god how I love him -- this is the Roland we get in Volume 8: The Battle of Tull.
If you are a Dark Tower fan, this is a must-read re-telling of a seminal event in the life of the Last Gunslinger from Gilead. If you are curious about King's series but are not quite ready to pick up the novels yet, this is a great place to start to get a feel for the setting and language of the Dark Tower universe (without risking any major spoilers for the books).

Reading these prequel graphic novels make me want to check out the Dark Tower series.

NOTE: the first part of this review is about the series, in general, and the last part covers this particular volume.
FROM MY REVIEW OF THE FIRST GRAPHIC NOVEL
I never got into the novel series but after reading this particular graphic novel I just might give it another try. This volume focuses on the Gunslinger before he became a legend in this post apocalyptic Spaghetti Western Fantasy tale. It covers the legends of his home realm life, how he earned his guns at an early age and his first mission which led to him meeting his first love.
King was creatively involved in the making of this graphic novel. I suspect this will be a spoiler on some level if I ever reach book four of the novel series but that's all right as I wasn't going to give King's series another chance until I picked this piece up.
The tone is dark, gritty and at times brutal and women don't have many options unless they hold a great deal of power. The artwork was impressively done with tight facial shots, focus on shadows and some nice running scenes sometimes all completed on one page. There's a nice map in the back to give you an idea of the overall world which I found very helpful as this was my first time experiencing the world. King was creatively involved in the making of this graphic novel. I suspect this will be a spoiler on some level if I ever reach book four of the novel series but that's all right as I wasn't going to give King's series another chance until I picked this piece up.
BOOK SIX
In this installment Roland tracks vengefully after The Man in Black and arrives at the town of Tull which has some mysteries of its own. It literally ends in a big bang to say the least.
The first issue topped the March comic sales figures, with an estimated 123,807 sold, 20,000 more than the next comic, New Avengers.

Having gone through what felt like standalone events - sort of by stories to the quest of Roland we suddenly find ourselves back on the trail of the Man In Black - only to get stalled once more - this time I a dusty quiet back water - called yes you guessed it Tull. As you can imagine all is not as it seems there and the town is incredibly bleak - you are certainly starting to feel the tone of Stephen Kings original novels showing through. and although this makes for a very somber and at time depressing read it does start to build links to the novels I will admit I didn't feel were there in earlier books.
It is very difficult to say anything (without giving away spoilers at least) about a storyline that is by the very nature of its medium - episodic. I feel that to have something ground breaking with massive developments in the story is impossible (after all in the comic format what would make readers want to come back instalment after instalment to see what happens next). But as a result the danger of having one issue read and "feel" like another is a constant challenge and one that is often varied in results. However I do feel that this time the story is getting back on track.

The Battle of Tull, in terms of continuity with the novels, takes place during the first book.
Roland is on the trail of the Man in Black. He has passed through the town of Tull and Roland follows his path. Tull, however, has already fallen under the malign influence of the Man in Black. What follows is a great tale of Roland in a town full of religious fanatics. More than that would be spoilers.
The Dark Tower comics, so far, have been a pleasure to read. The articles at the end of the issues, shine a great deal of light on the novels of the Dark Tower and help to explain some of the foundational lore. I know any Dark Tower fan will appreciate this truly wonderful series.

This is the eighth volume in Marvel's long-running series of associational volumes to King's Dark Tower books. The art is pretty good, not as great as the first few books, but it still captures the flavor of the world pretty well; Michael Lark is the new artist of the run. The story is as always by long-time King associate Robin Furth and adapted by Peter David, based, of course, on King's initial book in the series. It's another battle-of-a-town book, and another depiction of disaster due to religious fanaticism. It's a pretty bleak and depressing journey, but a good story that adds to the mythos pretty well.

I love these graphic novels. And this series translates so beautifully to graphic novel format. I don't know if I feel like this because I'm already so familiar with the original series, but I'm sure that has some part to play in it. Maybe if I wasn't already familiar with the series, there would be... gaps. Probably a lot of gaps that wouldn't really make sense, like why Roland insinuates that Sylvia Pittston is desirable when she's depicted as a nasty, manipulative old cow. This is explained in the book... but not the graphic novel.
So my solution to this problem is: Read your Stephen King.
Problem solved. :D
Once again I loved the art, and I really love the maturity that's now being drawn into Roland. He's "heavier" in a way that both is and is not about his weight. You can see the miles on him. You can see the deaths. It's fantastic artwork.
One other thing that I like about the GNs that isn't in the books, or at least not as apparent, is the narration. I like how the GN narration is like an old grandpa telling us a story. It brings a kind of personal touch to the story. It's good.

3.5 stars. Back on his journey to find the man in black and the dark tower, Roland stops in at the town of Tull. Seems like whenever he pulls into a town it’s the same song and dance, he meets a young lady, they smash, then has has to take out some sort of evil. This time the evil was put in motion by the man in black. Looks like Roland May be getting closer to catching up with him. A lot of gunfire and death in this volume.

This is the eighth book in the Dark Tower Graphic novel series. I think this was one of my favorite books of this series, along with the Little Sisters of Eluria.
In this book our Gunslinger goes to the town of Tull where he meets the disfigured Allie. While there he is delivered an ominous message from a dead man named Nort. Shortly after receiving the message he finds out that The Man in Black has already planted his evil seeds and left a trap for Roland.
I vaguely remember some of the town in Tull from when I read the original Dark Tower books. I really enjoyed this story and how it continues to show our gritty and hardened Gunslinger in all his gun totting glory.
The illustration is full color and absolutely top notch, I loved it a lot. I enjoyed the characters we met here; from the disfigured and sad Allie to the creepy old dead Nort.
There’s a lot of action and violence and Roland’s long journey to the Tower continues.
Overall a fantastic continuation of this series. I really enjoyed it. I love the illustration, the characters, the setting and the wonderful action scenes. I would definitely recommend this whole series to those who love dark fantasy graphic novels.

No soy muy dado a los Comics pero me prestaron la Batalla de Tull, que viene a ser el primer capítulo del libro "El Pistolero", primer libro de la saga "La Torre Oscura", realmente me gustó y en el poco tiempo que tengo últimamente para leer lo fui avanzando hasta que en la noche del domingo me lo terminé de un tirón.
Las ilustraciones están de película, lástima que por el formato no abarque la totalidad del capítulo, sin embargo cumple su cometido y es una buena introducción a los libros, siento que le quedó la deuda de explicar gráficamente cómo Roland carga sus malditas pistolas mientras dispara, en la película lo trataron de hacer pero no me convence mucho.
"Volvió a cargar las armas mientras corría, con una rapidez para la que también estaban entrenados sus dedos. Las manos se afanaban velozmente entre las cananas y los tambores."
"...él se detuvo a gritar y recargar, ausente, con la mente en algún lugar remoto, dejando que sus manos se encargaran de la tarea. ¿Podía alzar una mano y explicarles que se había pasado veinticinco años perfeccionando este truco y otros más, hablarles de las pistolas y de la sangre con que habían sido bendecidas? No con palabras. Pero sus manos eran capaces de explicar su propio relato. "
Por lo demás me gustó mucho el Comic.

This volume recounts fairly faithfully the events of Tull, putting on graphic (pun intended) display the massacre of a town set as a trap for Roland. The story is straightforward and well presented. The sad tales of Allie and Sheb and the townsfolk all play out as I recall from the book, and the art is effective, especially in the flashback moments. There isn't much more to say - it's very good at what it does, without being overly fancy.

This was awesome, not much like the book was but loved it.

As many times as I've read the Dark Tower series, I remember everything I will ever need to about Tull and the massacre that Roland carries out there.
Great story, well illustrated.

The Battle of Tull was always a highlight in Book 1 of the Dark Tower. Dark, dark, dark. Captured beautifully in illustrations. Roland wants horses not whores. And there is only threaded ones left. Following the man in black, the land deteriorates. Roland enters an old decrepit town, Tull. Roland enters a bar, the drinkers stare at his guns. Roland thinks of Cort's saying, "expect nothing, anticipate everything ". Roland orders 3 hamburgers and a beer and pays in Gold, he doesn't expect change. Roland balls deep in the scarred bar owner. Roland thinks of Susan as he watches her seared in the magical sphere. Nort drinks camel piss, chews on devil grass and gets resurrected by the howdy-do grin of the man in black. The man in black drinks whiskey, only the good stuff. Roland shoves a gun inside a lady and kills the demon growing inside her. The town become an angry mob and Roland explodes faces with his bullets, red rains and the population of 39 men, 14 women, and 5 children is eradicated and Tull is a ghost town. Roland casually eats more burgers and drinks beer. Emotionless Roland rides off into the desert to catch the man in black.
September 8, 2013
The lone gunslinger continues on his quest to find the man in black and reach the tower. Traveling further and further towards the desert, Roland finds himself in the barren town of Tull where the man in black has left many a trap to ensnare him.
The initial start point of the Dark Tower series recounted at the start of The Gunslinger. This tale takes its time to get moving in the novel, dragging on a bit while establishing the themes and characters, however, the graphic novel manages to capture the mood of the tale in a way that makes it engaging and entertaining.
This retelling works really well and should be of interest to Dark Tower fans.

While on his hunt for the man in black, Roland comes across the tiny town of Tull, hidden away in the desert. There he meets a scarred woman, Allie, and receives an ominous message from a weed-eater named Nort. Seems the man in black had come to the town not so long ago, and planted his seeds of evil.
This story seemed familiar from my readings of the Dark Tower novels, maybe it was the in first or second book? The actual battle doesn't happen until the end and I was actually a little surprised by the outcome. I didn't remember THAT. The artwork keeps the same style as the first six Dark Tower graphic novels, but I still miss Jae Lee's exquisite artwork.

The Battle of Tull is the second issue of graphic novels based on the first Dark Tower book, The Gunslinger but it's the first one where you're finally getting the atmospheric mood of the book, meet the dark and brutal Roland who can kill an entire town and just walk away.
I liked the team who worked on this issue: Michael Lark and Stefano Gaudiano joined Richard Isanove for illustrations, and what they did with Roland and all other characters is just pure awesome. I really enjoyed it! There was a lot of Roland's guns in the last part.

I am starting to find these more tedious than enjoyable.
I liked the prequels better, because it gave me a sense of learning new things about this world. But now that we have caught up with the books, they just don't compare to my imagination or the books themselves. I will still read them, but eh.

Too much like fanfic trying to live up to the perfectly good allegory that was The Gunslinger.

The Battle of Tull is a return to form for The Dark Tower graphic novels, which have varied greatly in quality, especially since Jae Lee left the series. Well written and beautifully drawn, this volume feels especially true to King's original vision for this story.
June 6, 2019
I haven't read a lot of graphic novels, but I had a great time reading this. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. I knew I would like it, but it was a lot more than that. I loved the artwork.
