Book four. Town hall meetings. Probably my least favorite part of the book itself, so this one slowed down my pace somewhat.
Taking as a whole, this is not a poor edition. I don't believe it is up to par with the previous versions of Captain Tripps, American Nightmares, and Soul Survivors. Maybe it is because Hardcases mainly deals with the villains of the novel — specifically Trashcan Man. I never felt like Trashcan Man was a fully fleshed-out character in the original book, so I lack interest in reading about him in the graphic novel. I do think that graphically this book shines as much as previous installments. The...
The bad guy side of the story gets intense. I like Trash even tho he's a nutter. I know some messed up stuff is coming
Cannot fucking believe that the dog is having dreams about Mother Abigail.
This is the middle of the story; aka it's slow. I think they are setting up the finale. I got goose bumps when all the people finally got together and sang the National Anthem. That is a wonderful moment. I don't think much of the art for this one. I do appreciate that they took actually photos of Boulder and used that in the art. That is pretty cool. I can't believe they took an 1100 page book and turned into 5-6 graphic novels of around 100 pages each. That is a talent. I am ready to finish th...
Actual rating would be 4.5 stars.There is nothing more that I can say about the art for this volume that I haven't already said in my reviews for volumes 1-3. If you want to check out what I said go ahead. If not, just know that the art is fantastic. Art gets 5 stars.Now the writing. This volume gives us our first glimpse of the villains since volume 2. The first 2 issues in this volume focuses solely on them before switching back to the group of heroes for issues 3-5. This volume moves a little...
And the story continues!!!!
A look on the darker side, the smiley side of politics, and what one must do to get into the graces of the powerful.*sigh*Even after a plague, people will still be people.Good art, as usual.
Trashcan man! Not my style, I guess. I pushed on through just to get the whole story. I respect King as a writer, but "Stand By Me" is more my kind of thing.
Through no fault of the writer and the artist, I didn't like this book nearly as much as I did the first three volumes. It ran a little slower than usual, and I absolutely could not stand having to read so much about Trashcan Man. I know he was a very important part of The Stand, but I obviously just don't like him. Can't wait to read the 5th volume.
Loving this series; this one not quite as much as vols 2-3 but still great. Can't wait to get through them all. Exquisite mutli-character/multi-angle story-telling.
I flip-flopped back and forth between what to rate this but ultimately decided on a 4. In fact, I think 2012 has been the year that I've awarded the most 4 star reviews. I guess that's what happens when you stay within the lines of what you're primarily expected to enjoy.Finally, we've arrived in Boulder and a new United States of America beings to slowly take form. Many are beginning to be made aware of a growing army within Nevada, ruled by The Dark Man, so preparations must be made. In this v...
We finally see Cibola (Las Vegas) and The Boulder Free Zone. Vegas is portrayed every bit as terrifying as it is in the novel. Crazy that it can be done in less than 100 panels. I left that part of the story truly haunted by the "civilization" that was springing up there.We are finally really feeling the menace. Captain Tripps was an accident, but what they are hurtling towards now is being carefully orchestrated and makes us, the reader, wonder who the conductor is or if there is more than one....
Larry and crew reach Boulder, Trashcan Man makes his way to Las Vegas. The formation of the council, Mother Abigail goes on walkabout.
A big improvement over the third volume. This volume could have had a hard time keeping up pace and not be boring. But they nailed it. There's a lot from the viewpoint of the badguys here and it's pretty good. And even though we are dealing with a big amount of characters, this volume keeps its focus on a few, making for better character-development.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, this graphic novel series continues to be excellent! The story follows right along with the novel (unabridged version) and the artwork is excellent. King fans who are also graphic novel fans should really check this one out.This volume deals mainly with the bad guys – the Hardcases. This means both in the belly of the beast (view spoiler)[ Vegas (hide spoiler)] and where there is supposed to be sanctuary (view spoiler)[Boulder (hide spoiler)], but ev...
Seems like the further I get into this series of graphics, the shorter my reviews get. I just don't see the point in repeating myself over and over when by now, I doubt the haters of the series are still reading and does anyone check reviews for the later books when questioning if they should start a new set or not?Again, the artwork holds steady in this volume as it has done for the other 3. It's fitting to the story and remains bloody and disturbing.The writing is still top-notch as I assume t...
25th book read in 2012. Number 119 out of 257 on my all time book list. Follow the link below to see my video review:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou-ty7...
This is the fourth book in the graphic novel adaptation. It starts off focusing on the people following the Dark Man. I was thrilled to see Trashcan Man. He is pure chaos and entertaining to follow. I laughed seeing him as a weasel in Mother Abigail's corn. I had forgotten about the Kid completely but really enjoyed how that story wrapped up. While this volume does cover some non-exciting stuff like setting up a new government and society in Colorado, it also covers how Nadine and Harold are r...
