I had wondered why the first chapter left out Roland's journey in the Pink Grapefruit. No more wondering. This will be great for people who haven't read the books, while those of us who have may be surprised by some of the stops on the way, but we all know where this journey ends.

I'm actually more satisfied with this mini-series than I was with the first one. For those that read the book, the first one just felt like a movie adaption of the novel. It followed Roland's part, but skimmed and skipped the bulk of the rest of the book.

However, this one is so much better. Issue 3's implications about the true nature of Roland's quest (as revealed at the end of the The Dark Tower) tied it all the more to the books. Getting a better glimpse at what Roland witnessed in the Pink Grapefruit is all the better as well.

I have to agree with you that I am actually much more satisfied with this story than the adaptation of the last series. It's been a great story with Lee and Isanove's art looking even better the second time around. I'm hoping for a 3rd volume with another original story
