PAINFULLY slow for preorders. I'm STILL waiting for a Stand slipcases that was supposed to ship months ago. I know it will show up eventually but damn!

I think the gunslinger born one looks pretty () on the bookcase, so I want a nice little theme going on.

Hey Dagg...Doctor House - do the slipcases fit the comics in the bags/boards?!?

I just pop mine in there to store them. (Yeah, I know, I know.)

I'd say it's probably becauseoh i agree completely
i just like to make fun of the tendency (not on your part) to wish away anything remotely approaching inconsistency with a wave of one of these two magic wands:

Rube - Yup. Could be a spoiler. Or, you know, Marvel could once again just not be on the ball.They never seem to get things released properly and their website sucks, in general. Yeah. Sorry, folks, you've heard this from me before.
On the other hand... I love this close-up of the Peterson variant.

Hmm. Some interesting art there.
I've been looking for a cover thread for episode 6 to post a couple of covers I've seen.
Rather than create a new one, I've decided to post them here as there isn't a whole lot in this thread. Hope that's ok (Turtlex, feel free to move them if you like.)
Nice atmospheric image. This is the most common picture I've seen.
This is interesting though. Has a kind of Lord of the Rings vibe to me. I assume the statue is of Arthur Eld. The first and last of the Kings of Eld. Sort of. Is it me, or does the statues face look kind of feline though? Lion-o. I'm sure that's not intentional though.

I just found this on Liljas's site.
Roland looks a bit older in that shot doesn't he, although I'd imagine that's mainly the shadow. And Cuthbert an undertaker look. Great image.
What a great pic! Roland looks amazing! Do you have any more?

There is a link on a discussion on this thread.
There are a few more pictures there. They're mainly pages from issue 1.

Oh, yeah, I just found a link to a discussion with Robin Furth on the Marvel site. I've created a thread here to discuss it since it's not issue specific.
I also found a series of other pictures there for issue 1, so here they are:
Most of the pictures on the site are zoomable! (I just realised but I can't be bothered going through and replacing the urls.)

Aye! Nice link, many thanks. Interesting.
This thread is oddly titled though, isn't it? "Fall of Jericho"... ?

Oops. I think my mind did a bit of unconscious cross-referencing there. The Fall of Gilead and The Battle of Jericho Hill. And of course the Biblical city of Jericho did fall...Aye! Nice link, many thanks. Interesting.

Okay, the issue came today. I liked it quite a lot.
I find myself thinking about a comment Roland made in the novels though,Spoiler:
A decent action filled chapter though with good art. I liked the design of General Grissom! Kind of a samurai crossed with Cernunnos thing going on there.

Moved these posts over to this discussion thread, rather than leave them in the Comic Catalog... more folks are likely to see them here.
Now, with regards to the new issue....
I think this is my favorite Isanove cover.The Man In Black Fled Across The Desert...
