Roland of Gilead, the Marvel comic.

Stephen King can go suck eggs.

Bitterly disapointed with how the Dark Tower ended, and no writer should ever write a book and then write an apology to his readers for shoddy work.

And don't even get me started on the stupid little were-spider.

To be honest, I didn't mind the were-spider nemesis. The thing I'm not cool with is the climb-the-tower coda. Okay, you found a way to leave Roland alone in the end of his quest: fine by me. But what does the tower's contents lead us to believe about the world, if it is the axis upon which all worlds turn? Maybe I'm just not hip enough to understand, but I don't get it.

Part of me is sorry that I never got into graphic serials, but the rest of me realizes that the amount of time required to keep all of the various Marvel books about the same cast straight. A retelling of Rolands earlier days would be interesting to think about, but hopefully they'll be smart enough to stay away from everything that King has already written. I have everything from Mejis in my imagination, I don't care to know how someone else sees it.
