Seriously, who cares? "Mr King" this, "Mr King" that, it is a rub book tie-in that if we still lived in a sane world would have been shunted off into Graphic Novel or Marvel Super Special or Treasury Edition Land, drawn in 2 seconds by Rich Buckler and no more would have been heard of it.

When the conversation about The Dark Tower came up, it was one of those “Luke, I’m your father” kind of moments, because it became very, very clear to me of just what this project could be in comics, not just for Marvel, but for comics as a whole – as a medium.

What? A way to adapt preexisting pulpy junk? A cash-cow for multi-media tie-ins? We knew that shit already.

This shit really pissed me off. Just say "Steven King means we get an assload of money, cause he brings his fan base with him." If you're really interested in adapting novels in a way to push the medium, approach a real fucking writer why don'tcha? I mean sure, Pynchon's gonna be tough to reach, but we KNOW he digs the funnypages.

I think the discussion about literature adaptations in comics deserves a thread of it's own:

Comic book adaptations of novels, plays, short stories, etc.
