Gunslinger Roland Deschain is back in another Marvel mini-series.
The first issue of Dark Tower: The Long Road Home is more of what was found in the Gunslinger Born mini-series. With the Big Coffin Hunters hot on his tail and his lover Susan Delgado dead, Roland and his ka-tet must flee into the desert.
As much as I want to enjoy Marvel's Dark Tower comics I just can't bring myself to do so. Peter David has written these books in such a distanced perspective that completely removes me from the characters and story. It's so hard to fall into the universe and allow yourself to be swept off your feet when you feel like you're watching the action from above. Plus, I can't feel for any of the characters in the book because they are all fairly underdeveloped. I need a book that I can connect and relate to and it just seems impossible to do so with Dark Tower.
I do, however, love Jae Lee's visuals. The Korean-born artist is the only reason I continue to purchase and read this book. His pencils are so clean and refined and he uses negative space better than any artist I can think of.
Many praised Gunslinger Born as one of the best mini-series of 2007. Quite a few have also claimed to really enjoy the first issue of The Long Road Home. I am in no way claiming that it is a bad book. However, it is not for me. I've tried countless times to give it another chance but it doesn't grow on me.
One Sentence Review: Not my cup of tea. | 7.1/10
Are you a fan of Dark Tower who thinks I'm totally off my mark with this review? Leave me a comment.
The second issue of Dark Tower: The Long Road Home hits shelves on April 30th.
Cheers.

2020.05.23酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容八大世界的融資邏輯在性交易不合法、陪侍業遊走於法律邊緣的情況下，酒店公關與我在酒店上班的日子性工作者常被屏除在社會安全網與信用制度外，幾乎不可能和銀行等金融機構借貸，辦房貸、車貸時需要人頭，這時就會向恩客或經紀人求援。經紀人除了確保酒店打工小姐們工作時的安全、陪上下班跑店接送、情緒低落時灌心靈雞湯外，也經常是她們的債主甚至信用保證人，要放貸酒店上班-酒店兼職-兼差如何達成人生的第一桶金必須自己口袋夠深，也有不少經紀人酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境？被借錢借到倒。「我會借出去的款項，基本上都是我覺得沒有還也還好的數目，當然也要評估妹仔有沒有這個產值，正妹優先。」一名酒店經紀這樣談自己的借錢哲學職場須知 【酒店PT 】：「一個相貌普通的妹仔開口就要借個十幾萬，是不會有正常人想理她的，何況有的妹仔連上一任經紀人的錢都沒還完呢！」在顏值與人頭都能變現的世界，經紀人除了用各種管道開發有意進八大淘金的新血，有的也會從同行手中「洗妹」，像洗牌一樣把屬意的小姐洗到自己旗下，或是用妹海戰術賺錢。一個酒店小姐的經紀約平均交易價格是三萬元，有債務的則另議前後任經紀的償還比例，越弱勢的就會面臨越嚴苛的勞動條件。在肺炎疫情餘波未平、政府宣布八大全面歇業之際，手上銀彈多的經紀能「危機入市」，然而，洗妹要不犯江湖忌諱是一門大學問，擋人財路如殺人父母，事小的道歉包個紅包做結，大者是會動拳腳刀槍來拼命的。酒店、養生館為了店內秩序，禁止小姐們交流薪資與經紀人抽成比例，也難防耳語傳聞「唉呦你的公司怎麼這麼苛？我一節就拿多少多少說！」「你這麼正，怎麼在這邊上不好？你經紀人都不想辦法的噢？」「我可以幫你介紹某某，某某會幫你如此這般……」知道水深的老鳥不是幾句甜言蜜語過個水就洗得動，但在無限期停業的政策推一把後，頓失生計的八大基層會衍生多少糾紛、呆帳與治安問題？這些問題又會如何反饋到「光明社會」的這一面，恐怕不是此一時能夠斷言的。八大因疫情停業並不會讓情慾需求消失，一名應召站幹部說，「如果大家能滿足在家裡打手槍，那一開始就不會來了。」除了多與嫖客喇賽疫情的五四三，他依舊周休一日每天值班十二小時，整理新的花名冊，戮力為客人仲介各式各樣的溫柔。站在道德的相對高點，質疑他人的職業選擇、想像做八大一定日進斗金、要求紓困補助都是貪婪很容易，深入了解不同族群的苦衷、共同承擔困境永遠是最艱難的，希望在這波尚無配套的八大歇業命令後，大家可以思考：膝反射式的傲慢是否和瘟疫一樣致命？
