Years ago, when I read The Stand: Complete & Uncut for the first time, I read King's preface without really understanding his point in any but the loosest intellectual sense. Having never read the...
On .net, I was Perdurabo (as those of you who knew me then may have realised). What the hell happened to .net, anyway?
I must say: thank all the gods who involve themselves with comics and/or graphic novels we won't be waiting until next damned February or March this time! And without creating any spoilers myself, I...
Anyone in their right mind would say no! Now, if the CK had offered to share the throne and rule of the multiple worlds as they were, that's a whole other can of tuna. But no one with the wits Gods...
Right. What looks like a spoiler to those of us who know the rest of the story won't mean anything to someone who's starting with the comics. They may, when they get to the books, have a better...
Christ, you'd think such a powerful, magical being could at least have conjured himself some decent abs! What; is he just so evil that he doesn't care, or is it just that no one has the nerve to...
Right. Even though he isn't involved on a daily basis, I don't think any of us would trust it if we didn't know he'd approved everything, and that he'd given them the outline- particularly, the...
Reading everyone's theories and speculations above just reinforces, for me, what a wonderful thing this series is for us. If not for Marvel, we'd have nothing new to talk about for most of the year,...
In spite of the fact that I constantly have too much to do, what with the fact that I'm still taking full-time care of my immobile, high maintenence roommate, I still made it up to the comic book...
Wow, really? You can stand having it in the house, just sitting there for months, and not read it? I couldn't do that; no way in hell would I be able to pull that off! I agree in principle,...
Go back and re-read the end-stories in the last arc. The CQ gives birth to Los soon after Arthur takes power- remember the original story of the Wizard's Rainbow? Queen Rowena's misfortune happens...
Memo to John (and to Storyslinger, as well):
If you're waiting for the full arc to be published and only reading the hardcover, you're missing half the story. So far, the hardcover neglects to...
Last year, from February to August, I had my monthly ritual: I would take the city bus on the 45-block trip to one of Austin's finer comic-book dealers and pick up the colour variant on the day of...
I receive a weekly newsletter from Marvel, mainly to keep track of Dark Tower news; this week's issue included the Peter David interview mentioned above. It also gave a shipping date for the first...
I finished the book at 4 this morning. When I sat down to resume reading around midnight, with about 200 pages to go, I wasn't expecting to finish it; I figured I'd read until roughly 2 AM then go...
I try to pick up the short stories as they come out these days; it's easier for me now, what with the changes in my living situation over the last six years. I think I've read most of the ones he's...
I was supposed to get my copy of Duma Key in advance of the release date, but the damned ebay seller failed to use Priority Mail! It came on the 24th (I managed to resist the temptation, when it...
If he doesn't expect a personal response- which he claims he doesn't- what is this fool so pissed off about? The letter is very unclear on that point, actually; exactly what is it about the website...
Two books? What's the other one?
Either way, it's gonna be a good year: Duma Key, the next arc of Marvel's Dark Tower, possible progress on the Gunslinger/Eluria book (is that the other one?). ...
As Perdurabo, I was quite active for a while on the old .net, but then our computer started working even slower and more poorly than it had been already, and I've been a rather scarce presence ever...
