Dark Tower: The Gunslinger: The Journey Begins

After Jericho Hill

This excellent graphic novel continues Roland's story after he survives the Battle of Jericho Hill against the minions of the Good Man. His survival was a fluke, but then he finds that he is not the only person to live after the battle. I don't want to say anything more about that so as not to ruin it for future readers. As usual, the storytelling is excellent and the artwork superb, drawing us into the tale quickly and not letting us go until the end of the work. The tale is told by Roland to a solitary man he meets on his quest to catch John Farson, and it is a gripping tale indeed. The most appealing character is a billybumbler Roland meets along his journey, and that adds some pathos to the tale. I know that the next book will continue the odyssey of Roland, and take us ever closer to the beginning of the first Dark Tower novel. That being said, I am in no hurry to get there, for I am truly enjoying the trip. Read more
