How is this for fanfare? As far as I know, this is the very first time a comic book has warranted a Midnight release - and it's definitely warranted. I mean, I figured Stephen King's first real foray into mainstream comics (he and Berni Wrightson did the comics adaptation of Creepshow back in the 80s) would be something kinda special to us fans, but I really didn't expect it to be as successful as it was. I am eager to see how it goes. This is an official Marvel press release:The best-selling, critically acclaimed comic book series, inspired by Stephen King's epic Dark Tower, returns in Dark Tower: The Long Road Home #1 — available at midnight tonight (at participating stores)! Reuniting the chart-topping team of writers Robin Furth & Peter David, artists Jae Lee & Richard Isanove, joined by special guest variant cover artist Mike Deodato Jr., Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are fighting for their very survival! Everyone from MySpace.Com to the Oklahoman to Lancaster Online to the East Valley Tribune to StephenKing.Com can't stop buzzing about this bold follow-up to last year's hit Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born!
