Fantastic adaptation of the book! What a fantastic read for Valentine's Day! Ha Ha. ( ) Si bien es cierto que hay algunos problemas con la edición, que creo que deben estar relacionados con la edición en español más que con el original, lo cierto es que el trabajo de adaptación y de ilustración a una obra clave de King hacen que esta serie valga mucho la pena. Disfrutable tanto si eres fan de Stephen King, como si eres fan del cómic. The interlude in chapter two is a perfect example of how the virus spread. Scary perfect! “… the Captain Trips chain letter, was working very well indeed.” “All the chickens were coming home to roost.” Indeed they were! I haven't read "The Stand" for a while, so returning to it after the COVID epidemic is pretty dang creepy! This comic adaptation is pretty good, and really well drawn, and was a nice refresher for me. It's only the beginning of the story, but like I said, in light of the recent pandemic, it hits pretty hard! I just may have to take up the novel again! This is a good faithful start to the King classic. The art is very good, the story quite streamlined but not divergent, and it gives us a very good graphic look at the even more graphic deaths. Timely, no? Well, Captain Trips is slightly more deadly than just about anything out there. It's good to think about how bad it could really get and be thankful we're not losing everything now. no reviews | add a review
