Hill The Good—It's nice to see this comic happen, as it appeared that Marvel had shut down all things Dark Tower. After the adaptation of Stephen King's “The Gunslinger,” they released a few one-shot comics, then said goodbye to the fans and thanks for coming along for the ride. Whether back by popular demand or someone's need to finish what was started, The Dark Tower has returned with an adaptation of the next novel in the series, “The Drawing of the Three.” It starts with the introduction of Eddie Dean, one of the most important Dark Tower characters. All of the events leading up to Eddie's first meeting with Roland on an airplane are illustrated in competent, professional fashion. While the art quality has declined since the first arcs of the series, it's still a Marvel product, so the quality is good. Many of Eddie's childhood experiences with his troubled older brother Henry and his adulating but distant mother are portrayed faithfully, and provide a welcome visual companion to King's novel. With the first series in “The Drawing of the Three” complete, I'm eagerly looking forward to the next installment.The Bad—Rather than telling the story in third person like the novel, “The Prisoner” is told in first person from Eddie's perspective. Since the novel wasn't written this way, it shifts the focus to Eddie instead of Roland. As a result of this change, it feels like Roland's epic battle with the lobstrosities is given relatively short shrift, as well as his desperate trek across the beach in search of the first door. Also, Marvel downgraded the paper quality of the regular comic, and now has decided to forgo the beautiful hardcover edition they normally produce in favor of the cheaper paperback option. This, along with the less impressive artwork, indicates a lack of full commitment to the title by Marvel. A comic that once broke sales records in its first year or two now seems to be barely hanging on. In my opinion, they're losing hardcore King fans by straying too far from the source material. The decline in overall quality can't help.The Ugly—As I've increasingly complained about as The Dark Tower series has unfolded, too much of the dialogue is new material. Marvel's adaptation of “The Stand” was incredible, retaining a large percentage of original dialogue from King's book. “The Prisoner,” on the other hand, actually requires new dialogue to be written since they shifted the point-of-view. King didn't write first-person dialogue for Eddie, so Robin Furth and Peter David come up with their own stuff. Which happens to sound nothing like Stephen King. The voice of the author is missing in way too much of this comic. In addition to that, they're continuing to mix in elements from later Dark Tower novels, such as introducing the Dixie Pig restaurant and the vampires that meet there. In the books, the Dixie Pig doesn't show up until the sixth installment, “Song of Susannah.” They also add in new scenes, like Eddie's flashback with his deceased sister. If “The Dark Tower” is ever going to return to its former glory, it will have to dispense with the attempts at originality because they are nothing more than fan fiction. If they will just stay true to the source, they can't go wrong.

Dennis Moore For the longest time, I thought Marvel was finished with the Stephen King Dark Tower comic adaptations. And for the longest time, I was right. Luckily, they changed their minds and in 2014, a new chapter was introduced, THE DRAWING OF THE THREE, the first five issues of which, subtitled “The Prisoner”, have been collected in this volume.Of the seven and a half Dark Tower novels, THE DRAWING OF THE THREE is my favorite. That’s not something a lot of people admit to--most claim the first or third, “The Gunslinger” or “The Waste Lands”, are their favorites--but that’s how it is. I love that book. And I’m glad to see a comic adaptation to follow the original run. Robin Furth and Peter David are still around, plotting and scripting respectively, with Piotr Kowalski on art this time around. While I’ve never heard of Kowalski before, that I’m aware of, I think his work fits this story and this world very well.This first collection, tells the story of Eddie Dean’s childhood, adolescence, and his descent into drug addiction leading up to his meeting with Roland on the beach in Mid-world. We’re introduced to two-year-old Eddie on the day his sister Gloria is killed by a car in an “accident” that was meant for Eddie. Someone’s put a hit out on the little boy already and when Mr. Andolini, assistant to Mr. Balazar, local drug king, asks “the boss”, the man above Balazar, “Why kill an innocent kid?”, the boss replies “it’s not the boy who needs to be eliminated…but the man he will grow into.”Right away, we know there are worlds and worlds to be explored and I’m reminded why I always liked the Dark Tower novels in the first place. The scope of the story being told is immediately opened up in that one line of dialogue.Eddie is allowed to grow, albeit never out of sight of those who want him out of the way. They’ve chosen a different tack, however, and soon have Eddie’s older brother Henry addicted to drugs. After coming back wounded from Vietnam, Henry’s addiction gets stronger until he’s moved from painkillers to heroin. Eddie tries to tell him to get off the junk and get his life together, but instead winds up addicted alongside his brother. Being the lesser of the two junkies, though, and more presentable in public, Eddie decides to take over a drug running gig meant for Henry in exchange for one last blowout and an all-expenses trip to rehab for the both of them.Unfortunately, the plane ride back doesn’t go as expected and soon Eddie is presented with a choice to face the police or step inside the doorway that’s appeared in the airplane bathroom. The door opens up onto a beach on another world where Eddie meets a man who looks a lot like his old action figure Johnny Bronco.“The Prisoner” is a really good book, fun to read and a great reminder of this excellent King series. I haven’t read the original novel in 25 years, at least, so I don’t remember how much of what’s in here first appeared in King’s novel and how much is original to Furth’s adaptation, but for what it is, I enjoyed this book a lot and am looking forward to the next installment, “House of Cards”.One of my favorite things are the easter eggs Furth and company have planted here. For instance, the first thing we see is a hand with a coffin tattoo on the back nailing up a lost poster showing a puppy, with this underneath: “Please help us find our pupper Eddie! Eddie is two years old! Will answer to the name ‘Deano.’” This is a callback to King’s “Low Men in Yellow Coats” novella from the HEARTS IN ATLANTIS collection. Plus the coffin tattoo will appear later in the Dark Tower series.We see the Dixie Pig, another location that will become very important in later novels. And the mention of a certain lot where a certain rose is growing, also makes an appearance here. They’re subtle things, but real fans will see them and smile.Peter David is scripting the book still, and it’s a change from his normal comic work which is usually light and humorous, but the Dark Tower books show just what a talented writer he is, able to turn on a dime and tell a stone serious story. I’ve always loved his work and have read books I wasn’t even interested in just because he was the writer. I’m glad he got to stick around for this new chapter; he captures the feel of the world perfectly.I was concerned for the quality of the book when I first heard about it. It didn’t look like the Dark Tower adaptations I was used to, and there’d been no fanfare over this one like there had the initial releases back in 2007. But I’m pleased to report The Dark Tower--The Drawing of the Three: The Prisoner is an excellent next step in the telling of this classic story in comic form. I’ll definitely be getting the next volume.

With The Drawing of the Three the change of aesthetic is obvious and really works to the Dark Tower saga's advantage. This story focuses on things in Eddie Dean's New York, which is a very different place from the world Roland has experienced thus far in the story. So yeah, a more lively and "comic" look is applied to this place which is very different from the barren and leathery Mid-World. Keeping with the graphic novels' chronological telling of the Dark Tower, Eddie Dean's before-Roland story is gathered into this first volume that quickly gets the reader up to speed on Eddie's past. As usual, many details of the story have been slightly changed up for the graphic novel adaptation. I don't wish to spoil, but I would say the changes include some great added stuff that I wasn't expecting. I feel this makes complete sense for the overall saga's continuity. I was a little disappointed with the treatment of Henry, Eddie's older brother. He seems mostly spot on, but there's an aspect of him that seems softened in this adaptation. Not much, but it is noticeable for a nerd like me who has already painted a picture of "the wise and imminent junkie" in my head already. Specifically, I feel that the graphic novel makes Henry slightly -only slightly- less of a jerk. This volume covers the story up to Eddie meeting Roland on his flight back to New York, but he has not exited the plane yet. It is at a great stopping point and though I know how all this plays out, I'm eagerly awaiting the next volume.
