Based on that stalk, perhaps his human form is... Ed Grimley!Originally Posted by Brainslinger
I guess the 'dick head' term would be a bit too obvious right? (The picture I mean, not you.)
It does have a very interesting freaky look, but, yeah. It's not how the Crimson King should really look according to the various descriptions etc. Also isn't he supposed to have a long white beard when in human form? Maybe he hasn't grown it yet in this time period.That, or maybe he hasn't shifted fully into his human form there. He might be in transit so to speak. (That and if this is viewed 'todash' his appearance could be different).
Maybe he can probably look how he wants anyway.

Yeah...I don't know how I feel about that artwork.
Despite my Ed Grimley comment, I actually like that picture.

I do too. It's kind of...disturbing, though.

I had to digest this first issue and it has been growing on me. I think my biggest disappointment was with Jae Lee's art. The first run was just so clean and stunning. Perhaps he's 'dirtied' up his style a bit which seems to run with the mood of the comic. It's still great work.
Peter David is doing a spot on job with the writing. I'm down with anything involving more Cuthbert. Bring me more Cuthbert material!

And it's her loving that's a wonderful thing.

The artwork is good...I think it's the way he's sitting that bothers me.
Like he's saying: "Aaagh...woman. Bring me another beer while I watch my Nascar race."
I think some of the big pieces are some of the best he's done.

No! I actually loved it! It captured the essence of the "grapefruit" perfectly. It is indeed an "evil eye". And the symbolism of it being turned inward on Roland...
I won't go as far as saying that it's what I pictured when I read Wizard and Glass... but it made perfect sense to me when I saw it here.
I didn't really view the grapefruit as an eye in the book. I can see how it might be viewed that way since that's how it is used... i.e. to see other places, but not as an eye itself....(that's a bit of a contradiction but never mind.

So I have finally picked up #1 of the Long Road Home this past Friday, (I'm a slacker - I know) and I must say I am captivated. Granted, a few liberties have been taken with the details of the story as we all know it from the books, but I can accept that as we are about to embark on a "new" ( or expanded) or chunk of the story.
(BTW, Sorry for the spoiler tags if they are not needed, but always safe, never sorry)

I think I found a use for that cover. Thanks CK!

Hey no problem, sweetie! I know how cowboy motifs are a big turn-on for you, if you want to blow it up to masturbate to go ahead.

I just love the angle that Jae Lee decided to draw that picture. Perfect.
This is by far the best work I have ever seen from Jae. The first run of 'Born' could be some of my favorite comic art of all time. Just beautiful.

Picked it up 45 minutes ago and tore through it. This one is even better than the first. The end-story is as usual fantastic...Two words - "Uffis" "vampires"!!!

Anyhow, I've pre-ordered mine already. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow, or Friday the latest.
I'll probably have to wait about a week for mine.
