Here are the sketch and variant cover for issue #7 as well as the cover for The Gunslinger's Guidebook:
I don't like that variant as well as I did the others. I think it's something about the fluffy clouds in the background.

I know what you mean - makes it look like anime.
I keep waiting for a cute and fluffy bunny to appear in one of the lower corners.

I agree, its a bit more cartoony than I would like.

It just looks too happy. The story arc is not a happy one.
I really liked this issue; it may even be my favorite. Susan just kicked ass, and that made me happy. I almost hate to see the arc end, but then we may get some original story with the next arc, and that is what I think the best part of DT fans are waiting for. I can't wait.
It looks too "cowboy". Yes there are Western motifs in the Dark Tower series but this is too much. I think there is all of one variant that I like in the whole arc. I have NOT been impressed with the variants. While I LOVE a lot of the main covers. Especially Issue 2, my favorite issue of the arc, so far.

It's more than "may" we definitely will be getting new Dark Tower story from what I understand.

When you look at a larger picture, the face on the Gunslinger has a bit of a hard edge for someone so young, but then I noticed the oversized "Texas nightclub" belt buckle and think it definately did not belong.
Egads, that belt buckle really is too much.

On a sunny day like that, it could totally blind you.

If you look really closely it says "Harley Davidson" on it...Egads, that belt buckle really is too much.

I am interested in how they will handle "the burning of Susan" graphically though. This last issue is going to have it all.
Question for those who have read #6--was the final battle with Jonas shown or are they saving it all for this one?

One word. "S'Mores"

Goddamnit, I just busted out laughing at work. Now my coworkers will think I'm even crazier than they already did.
