1: Excellent graphic novel
This book is very good, and the story is really interesting, Jae Lee's art is awesome and strong, well this book tells the beggining of the gunslinger Roland, the only thing is that the story has not end, and of course I can't wait to read the next collection, I never read any Stephen King's novel, but this is good, it mixes cowboys and magic, well I think if you love adult graphic novels then this is a must have, and of course if you love Stephen King's novel then I am sure you will enjoy this adaptation.

2: Dark Tower review
This gives a whole new approach to the series. The graphics are amazing. A must read for any King fan.

3: Graphic SF Reader
Quite impressed.
I haven't read the book series, huge multi-novel fantasy series are not really my thing, but this has been intriguing for a while.
I have, however, read some of the earlier short stories, so basically knew the setting, and the characters of Roland and Cort at least.
This was really good. Lee seems to have adapted his style to fit this dark Western type background, with sorcery, mutant cats, witches and decaying technological remnants - a fairly bizarre mismatch of stuff that seems to work well.
I think I like the writing more in this adaptation than some of the stories, too. The old-fashioned American prose can get a bit wearying at times, but it appears to be smoothed a little here and is more palatable.
Boys sent on a mission of important that have to grow up fast, leaving an unsettled situation behind them and a war backdrop and seemingly evil enemies to face seems to work pretty well.
Horror, or dark fantasy, or whatever you want to call it, so things will be not nice.
Definitely surprised by how good this was.
4.5 out of 5

4: Dark and abstract art, very Stephen King
I was very excited to learn about this comic series, and I was not disappointed! I love the art and the mood it creates, even though it's a simplified version of the events in Wizard and Glass, it's still a great companion to the novels. Very cool!

5: IF you loved "Wizard and Glass"
OK avid readers... you know the series, its the graphic novel right here. "Wizard and Glass" takes form. All you expect from the Roland, Cuthbert, and Alain. "To Me Gunslingers!"
