The Long Road Home treats us to more original material as compared to its predecessor, The Gunslinger Born. In the Dark Tower book series (from which this comic book series is based on), Roland, Cuthbert and Alain's journey from Mejis is mentioned only in passing, as are the major plot hooks (Sheemie's powers, Roland succumbing to the glam of Maerlyn's Grapefruit), but here the individual moments are fleshed out in better detail with some new revelations. We know so little about Roland's tet-mates (his friends, say thankya) that having much of the story told from Alain and Cuthbert's perspective is a welcomed addition. The narrative is a little thin, but that's okay because it's sandwiched between two larger tales. And the professional panel artwork is breathtaking, as I come to expect.
