Stephen King ventures into comics. Big deal

I'm not a very big fan of the horror genre, if at all, and there's only a handful of horror books in comics that I've got any interest in reading. Thus, I really couldn't get enthused about reading the [gushy] news that novelist Stephen King is going to turn his Dark Tower into a comics series.

It may not actually be a horror series, but still, given that King has told a tale or two in his career that I found distasteful, that's why I'm really not interested in this either, no matter how much it's sold.

Besides, how can one really be excited when seeing how Joe Quesada veers into comedy again:
"I think this is sort of like a coming-out party for the comic industry, a way to reach out to the mainstream," said Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada. "We're a very serious art form."
Too bad they don't manage it that way.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
