Ooh, I can't wait for this. I've been trying to avoid seeing what the art and characters will look like for this but I think I'm gonna have to pick up this sketchbook. I loved the book. The tv mini-series...not so much. I do feel a comic adaption will be way better. No restrictions. They can even go more in-depth on certain parts if needed. The Dark Tower has been good. Marvel's on a roll.
