Captain Trips #2 - Sneak!

I wouldn't say my taste is "radically" different or anything, though I often tend to disagree with the majority. In some cases, this is because I don't like stuff shoved down my throat (I have yet to read Dave Eggers for this very reason), but more often than not, I simply disagree.

I do not care for JRR Tolkien, I believe Gary Gygax invented Dungeons & Dragons, and I do not think The Stand is King's best work. A brilliant Victorian novel structurally, I do not care for Victorian novels. I suppose I can concede that it is his technical masterpiece, but it's far from his best effort. Still, I bet the sequential adaptation is better.

After its critically acclaimed debut this month, one of the year's most anticipated new series, from World Fantasy Award-winning writer Stephen King, continues in The Stand: Captain Trips #2 (of 5)! Acclaimed writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four, Angel: Revelations) gives the Apocalyptic novel new life with beautiful interiors from the Eisner-nominated artist, Mike Perkins (Captain America, House of M: Avengers). As the unseen killing super-flu, Captain Trips, spreads disease and death across the country, the US government has taken a keen interest in Stuart Redman, who seems to be the only person immune to the Captain Trips infection. With or without Stu's cooperation, they are determined to find out why! Then, in Maine, something terrible falls upon Frannie Goldsmith and her father! In New York City, out of 8 million people, pop-star Larry Underwood may be the only one still alive! And Nick Andros runs into more trouble than he can handle when he makes a wrong turn in Shoyo, Arkansas! Plus, a mind blowing regular cover and a sketch variant cover from acclaimed artist Lee Bermejo and the second of five connecting variant covers from Perkins – this is a must for any King fan!

Why does Stu keep having nightmares about a dark man standing in a cornfield with red eyes? Don't miss the next exciting chapter in the horror epic, commonly deemed Stephen King's best work, in The Stand: Captain Trips #2 (of 5)!
