Ramblings of Tungsten

I have been away from reading comics for some time now (why read them when they make kick ass movies, right?) mostly because of the cost and my inability to keep up with getting each issue. All of this changed with the release of Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born. This comic is based on the epic seven part novel series, Dark Tower, penned by Stephen King over the last thirty or so years. The novels have their ups and downs as far as quality goes and there are a few parts where I would say it jumps the shark only to scrape its way back to some semblance of its former greatness. But, one aspect of the series that remains interesting throughout are the flashbacks to Roland’s, the main character, younger days as a gunslinger in training and this is where the comic takes off.
