The Dark Tower The Gunslinger Sheemie Tale Issue #2 Robin Furth Richard Isanove Books Reviews
Great graphic novel based on book.
The first issue of "Sheemie's Tale" did an incredible job chronicling Sheemie's involvement in matters of the Dark Tower. This second issue is intended to finish bridging the gap between Sheemie following Roland back to Gilead in Wizard and Glass and then showing up again in the final Dark Tower novel. The artwork again amazes me, and the narration by Sheemie continues to work well. The only detraction here stems from "expanded" material, as usual.
If you're looking for stunning Dark Tower artwork, this isssue has it. Taheen guards in Thunderclap, ancient Great Ones, the rise of the Tower from the Prim, the creation of the Beams and the depiction of their human-like ambassadors to mortals...get the idea? Some of the material here is breathtaking for a Dark Tower junkie. I'm fascinated by all of the drawings, including one of Sheemie transformed into a tentacled monstronsity of the Prim that is horrifying. If every issue had artwork like this...well, come to think of it, in the early days they did. C'mon, Marvel; get this train back on the tracks!
This brings me to my only complaint about this issue. Furth adds in some material where Sheemie escapes the man in black and falls into a river. At the bottom of this river, he sees...the ancient Great Ones from Dark Tower mythology? I'm always happy to see the outlandish illustrations of these creatures, but how does this even make sense? Thankfully, this excursion is used to explain the rise of the Tower and the receding of the Prim, setting up the Crimson King's grudge and the central conflict behind the entire series (again, stunning artwork on those scenes). Finally, Sheemie creates a "psychic spear" to escape the clutches of these beings, and is then visited by the entities representing the Beams. After this inspiring turn of events, Sheemie is simply scooped up out of the river by Marten in the form of a huge bird to be taken back into captivity, awaiting Roland's arrival in Dark Tower 7 to liberate him and the other Breakers.
It's always tough for me to swallow the additional material written into the comics. While I appreciate that it's all written with an attempt to stay in tune with King's novels, it almost always feels like fan fiction. And I'm not interested in fan fiction. All I've wanted from the beginning was a faithful adaptation of Stephen King's books, like Marvel delivered with the excellent series, The Stand. Instead, they've produced an uneven series that sometimes droops into mediocrity. "Sheemie's Tale" has undoubtedly been a highlight, but its flaws tell another story about unmet expectations.
Sheemie is awesome!
