And that's it for this somewhat disappointing issue.
Other than a bridge crossing and the electrification of Sheemie, not much happened. Still, I like that there's very little here that also appeared in Wizard and Glass. Looks like The Long Road Home indeed will be mostly new material.
So what WAS that evil glowing murderbot that shot a lightning storm into Sheemie? Thank goodness the bonus material is there to explain it all.
The story ends with Sheemie who now has sparkle power for some reason.
I'm feeling a sense of plot-padding in this issue as a good six pages have been taken up with the crossing of a rickety old bridge. Of course, everything almost falls off of it as they cross (the orb, Roland himself)...
Meanwhile, inside Maerlyn's Grapefruit, Roland encounters the Crow, whom we all know from other stories is Randall Flagg (or Marten in this tale).
Poor Sheemie accidentally triggered an evil murder robot that's now shooting him full of lightning. Definitely straying from the source material here!

Reading Issue 2 of The Dark Tower: The Long Road Home.
Issue 1 picked up right were The Gunslinger Born left off in the aftermath of Susan's death in Hambry and Roland's immersion into the Wizard's glass.

Day 1304
I continue through the graphic novelization of Roland's time in-between Wizard and Glass and The Gunslinger with the 5-part series, "The Long Road Home".
I'm not sure how much of this is new material or if this a continuation of Wizard and Glass with the events that occurred after the Reaping at Hambry.
As much as I do like seeing their adaptation of the printed word, I am also hungry for something NEW. So here we go!
