I didn't have it in me to read the full novel, but I wanted to, and this comic book series seems to be an elegant solution to the problem. It's moving much more quickly, but still incorporates King's words and style. This first volume sets up the story and characters, using King's typical "massively-multi-NPC" style if I may coin a phrase, but if anything the comic format makes it easier for me to follow who's who. And it's scary, but a happy medium between book and movie -- books are always
The Stand was my first Stephen King novel and reading the graphic novel sure brings me back. I hope I don't get the sniffles again this time around! Well done.

This being my favourite Stephen King book, I was pretty excited to see it had been turned into a series of graphic novels. Given how long the novel is that struck me as very ambitious. The most surreal bit was how closely the characters resembled my imagined versions of them, especially considering King doesn't go into a lot of detail about physical characteristics so
