While the theatrical/TV adaptations of The Dark Tower continue to be one heck of a mess, Marvel Comics is taking advantage of it by bringing out their adaptation of the next phase of it. Coming in March 2015, they’ll bring out the first installment of The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three – House Of Cards, which is admittedly quite a mouthful. The series comes from writers Peter David (Spider-Man 2099) & Robin Furth (The Dark Tower: A Complete Concordance) and critically acclaimed artist Piotr Kowalski (Marvel Knights: Hulk) as they delve into the next phase of the original work from Stephen King.
“In the latest chapter of King’s epic tale there are some fascinating connections being made within the Dark Tower mythos, expanding on the histories of the characters and revealing their twisted ‘family tree,’ says series Editor Mark Paniccia. “Fans will get a real thrill as we discover what kind of role Eddie Dean plays in Roland Deschain’s plans to bring the tower down.”
Plot concept: The troubled streets of New York City pulse with the beat of desolation and crime. Among the dissidents of the city is Eddie Dean a troubled young man gifted with the ability to open doors to other worlds has smuggled narcotics from Nassau to New York City, but now Eddie has to escape a packed airplane guarded by armed Custom Agents! How will Eddie avoid prison and yet also fulfill his contract with the dangerous mobster Balazar? The answer lies in Mid-World, and with a dying gunslinger named Roland!
