Default Discordia: The Dark Tower Game

Everyone check out the Official Dark Tower website -

http://www.stephenking.com/darktower/

Suddenly the main artwork is an extreme close-up of Roland's face with "Ka is a Wheel" in big white lettering and November 2009. What's THAT about?? I was at that site yesterday and it wasn't there.

Probably just promo art for one of Marvels comics?.

I'll try not to get excited because i'll likely be disappointed lol.

Usually if it's a promo for one of the comics it would say so. Maybe you're right though. It was just new and seemed different from their past ads for new arcs.

Wow!! This may be a bit off topic but, since UTD is the only 11/09 title coming out that I know of I thought I'd check out some of the promo stuff to see if maybe there are any DT hints and man if they don't have a boat-load of promo content set-up between the SK.com site and the one Schuster set-up. I even applied to the Chester's Mill Police Dept. for a job!!!! lol lol

Sadly though I didn't see anything that would make it a DT related book right off. However the jury could still be out on that.

That doesn't look comic related ( unfortunately ) ... I love it though!

The only thing that seems to make sense is that it's referring to The Battle of Jericho arc, first issue scheduled to come out 11/25.

Well, that's true, Jericho starts in November - but what's so special about the new comic arc that is gets a fancy splash page?!? And I would be VERY surprised if that graphic of Roland is from the new arc ( Jae Lee ). That looks like a water color or a pastel or something... not at all like a comic page.

Hmmmmmm.

That's what surprised me and got me wondering.

Maybe Patrick Danville will show up in UTD

I agree with Bev, Under the Dome is definitely NOT a Dark Tower book. I couldn't find ANY connections in it.
