I don't know....:orely:
I've listened to King reading The Gunslinger, and I wasn't impressed. I thought the reading was..ehm, flat...
I prefer reading my Kingbooks.

I dont know if I'm ok with the series spinning off without Roland. I would like to hear more stories like Wizard and Glass (greatest of the series) But he has to keep Roland in. I'm so excited!
Its been a while since I dipped into the SK world - work and life seems to have steered me away from my passion for The Dark Tower, so whilst surfing tonight finding that Mr King plans to write another volume is HUGE NEWS!!!!
So, it does seem to have gone quiet on this on the forum - I wonder if the missing contract for DMG has been sorted and I need to make space on my bookshelf for another treasured volume?
no contract as of yet!
oh well, fingers crossed that it happens soonly - about time we had another quality SK ltd from DMG.....he really ought to let you have more books....
I have it on very good authority that King has started writing this new Dark Tower tale. Leaned the news at the King signing in Portsmouth NH Dec 2.
Hopefully Grant does this one...can't imagine it going to anyone else.
Funny, though...Tippy made the valid point in another thread that Grant has done five limited editions in the last 10 years - Black House, DT V-VII and LSOE - so they're not exactly treated unfairly.
CD has done four, I believe, in approx. the same span - Buick 8, SOD I+II and FDNS. Am I missing some? I'm just going off memroy.
But WITK will be a Grant book certainly.
Ah...knew I was forgetting a couple (although with only the lettered signed, I don't think I count RTB).
I hope the story has something to do with Patrick. Would really like to know about him and the story that surrounds him.
I just don't know about a DT that isn't about Roland. Ok, I'll admit, I have a "Roland thing" big-big.
No matter what the focus is, I am sure I will read it anyway. :)
I agree. Since Furth "stole" the chance for King to tell about the battle of Jericho Hill and the fall of Gilead, I would be most interested in reading Patrick's back story. That being said, I will more than happily read anything set in Mid-World. I'm jonesing for some new stories. I'd also like to see someday, a collection of shorts dedicated entirely to Mid-World.
When I hear something about a contract I will let y'all know!!
I don't see that the comics prevent King from telling the story of Jericho Hill, fall of Gilead and whatever he wants to write about. I'm pretty sure we'll know more about Sheemie and Rhea.
Yes, I understand that maybe that'll be covered territory for King, but still...if he has something in mind, I believe he will write about it.
Very true!
I wouldn't mind King rewritting all that Furth stuff. He should just come out and say her stuff sucked and write a proper version.
:lol::wtf::lol:
For what it's worth (I'm making no judgments yet), In the most recent interview with Ron Howard he said that he and his team have been incorporating a lot of Furth's comic stuff into their plotting discussions.
"Howard said the 36 issues that have been published so far absolutely inform his own view of the mythology. “It’s the ongoing evolution of the characters and the discovery,” Howard said of the comics that are plotted by Robin Furth and scripted by Peter David with King overseeing everything as creative director. “There are new interpretations of the rules of the world and the story. It’s a really useful and compelling part of this already fascinating creative journey that we’re on.”
Although I should probably not divert this thread to the movie discussion... So um, what ever King writes for WitK, I'm sure will please me.
