Dark Tower. It’s a Stephen King adaptation. Not super faithful to the book series, but just as entertaining. And it is NOT the movie! The movie blows and you should avoid it. But read the books and the omnibus. [Previous page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/graphic-novels-help-a-noob-please/385970.md?page=1)
