Geek Inventory

I just noticed Stephen King has a LOT of projects coming up that I'm pretty excited about. This is my attempt to keep them straight, so I don't miss anything. I'm doing it publicly since it's quite likely other people would like to have this sort of list too, but have less time on their hands than I do while at work.

1. Under the Dome. New book. Out now. I've got it on hold with the library, so whenever it comes in, I'll read it.

2. The Talisman. Comic series adaptation. Already started with Del Ray* (issue 0 is out, 1 is next Wednesday).

3. The Dark Tower. Comic series adaptation and expansion (Roland's teen years). Still running with Marvel*. Current story arc: Fall of Gilead. Final story arc coming in December: The Battle of Jericho Hill.

4. The Stand. Comic book series adaptation. Still running with Marvel*. Current story arc: Soul Survivors.

5. The Dark Tower Project, AKA Discordia. Animated series. Dark Tower spinoff exploring the struggle between Sombra and TET Corporations. Coming November 30.

6. Ghost Brothers of Darkland County. Musical, book, CD, etc. After about a DECADE in the works, it looks like King's collaboration with John Mellencamp will finally be completed some time between January and April 2010.**

7. American Vampire. Original comic series starting in March with Vertigo*.

8. The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger. Comic book series adaptation and expansion (Roland's pursuit of The Man in Black). Coming in 2010 with Marvel*.

9. A NEW DARK TOWER BOOK. A real book (working title The Wind Through the Keyhole). Not a comic book or some shit, the real deal. It won't be out for ages, since he's not starting it until some time next year, but STILL. OMG. I don't think I've ever been this excited about any kind of entertainment before.

* I think it's cool that even though King started with Marvel (with The Dark Tower, and then The Stand), he wasn't locked into some sort of weird, overbearing contract and was able to do The Talisman with Del Ray (whose comic department is new and could use the boost) and American Vampire with DC (Marvel's only real competitor).

** I don't know if the play is going to travel, but if I have to go to Atlanta, so be it!
