With the story of The Little Sisters of Eluria we have a new phase in Roland's journey to confront the Dark Man and reaching the Dark Tower. The monologue in this issue is handled in what I consider an awkward fashion; it simply does not ring as how Roland has expressed himself in past issues. the art is not in tuned with the tradition that has been established in the many other issues that has become a classic comic; even the cover is too crowded and dark for my taste, even though there is a clear connection to the content of the comic. The beginning of this arc could have been handled better, but the story is solid and Peter David and company have not dropped the ball and I still have faith that further issues will bring this story to fruition successfully.
