I actually hate Jae Lee's art even more than I dislike King's writing style. Lee is obviously good at what he does, I just hate what he does. It's all close-ups and shading. You can't see anything. I don't get any sense of adventure (or foreboding, for that matter) out of it, and the shiny digital skin tone of most Marvel fare these days is so uncanny valley it literally makes me sick. The Stand has minor versions of the same problems, but it is SO much better. I'm on book two (of six) now. It's extremely well done, apart from the fact that it could've been a bit more show, don't tell. I don't need to know what all the characters are thinking all the time.Sunarep said:The Gunslinger was also written by a very young Stephen King, there even are a lot of Tower fans who think it is best if you start with Part II (Drawing of the Three) which is leagues above the writing from part I - i remember reading the first 170 pages in one turn because part II was so exciting, when I was listening to the audiobook while running I made some extra kilometers to hear how the story went on
and the comics are just king stories in name only -they are so boring and formulaic, the only thing that makes them average is the great art of jae lee, but the story he is painting is just boring
I would love to see a man like Del Toro adapting dark tower - very experimental and raw
