I do like that Marvel is releasing these digitally.

I picked up the regular cover and the variant. The story was all right. Artwork was really, really good though and the previews for the next issue will have me waiting lined up at the comic shop at opening time.
I read it on Comixology. I liked it a lot, but my standard comic book complaints apply:
1. I tried to buy it at a store, but they didn't have it yet. I didn't feel like coming back tomorrow, so I went digital instead. I missed the first one, so I won't buy any of the others either.
2. It was way too short. $4 for ten minutes worth of reading isn't a great value proposition. In the past, I've waited for the trade books to come out.
Regardless, I'm super-excited for this. DOTT is my second favorite DT book (after Waste Lands) and I can't wait to meet the Ka-tet in comic form. The art in this book was much better than what we got on some of the Gunslinger series.
OMFG WHERE DO I START! So I LOVE the book series and when I found out they were gonna make it I to a comic series I thought it was awesome. I've bought every issue from the beginning (my local comic guy knew me pretty we'll towards the end). When I started to get into digital I was sad that marvel pretty much screwed people over by only including partial arcs and leaving out whole entire arcs for other stuff too. So I stuck with the physical books. When I found out they were stopping after the last arc I was both sad and happy. Sad because they ended just at the good part. But glad because my wife wasn't gonna have our room taken over by the comics.
We'll today while waiting for one of the kids to get out of school I was messing around and googled dark tower comic and saw they were starting back up. I swear I squealed like a girl at their favorite boy band concert. Then the dread of how long will this go on and that I have to travel 30 minutes to my closest store set in. We'll I got home and checked comixology real quick and from the looks of it they are caring the story and hopefully will carry all of them. AND it looks like they might of finally included all the back issues that they didn't have back then. Now my biggest dilemma is do I stick with the physical books or say screw it and risk going digital and possibly have them, Marvel, screw up and skip issues.
EDIT: so a quick look on comixology shows they have every issue up until the last arc Man In Black and they are also missing the one shots like sheemies tale I think. Still not sure if I want to trust marvel and comixology that they will carry all the comics or not.

Best issue out of the five in this arc. Both Eddie and Roland look a little too young though.
Looks like the collection is paperback only again.

Does anyone who actually follows this more closely than I do know if the Drawing of the Three storylines are going to be released in their own Omnibus edition? I'd love to read them and if an Omnibus is on the way I'll wait for it instead of getting the smaller collections.
