Product Description
The Trashcan Man was spared for a reason. To join the Dark Man Randall Flagg's swelling army and to set the world on fire. It's a dream come true for the pyromaniac, but he has to reach Flagg's compound in Las Vegas first--and, somehow, survive crossing paths with "the Kid," a hardcase who's even crazier and more dangerous than Trashy is! The villains are front-and-center as we cross the mid-point of this epic adaptation of Stephen King's horror masterpiece! Collecting: The Stand: Hardcases #1-5

Love it!, April 1 2011

This review is from: The Stand: Hardcases (Hardcover)
I can't get enough of this series. The writing is fantastic and still true to the novel (It's done a very good job of condensing a very long novel into graphic format). The artwork is generally how I had characters and places pictured in my head. I could quite happily recommend this to fans of The Stand as well as people not familiar with it the story. I can't wait for the next instalment!

Cooking with gas..., Dec 1 2011

This review is from: The Stand: Hardcases (Hardcover)
After the fairly slow "Soul Survivors" chapter, the series kicks up again with "Hardcases."It helps to start off with a Trashcan Man installment, including his interaction with The Kid. Readers of the original Stand will be unfamiliar with this character who actually didn't appear until the unedited version later. Here, he's a great villain, and I wish there'd been more of him.
The authors acknowledge that the story slows down a bit when it deals with the Free Zone, and all the politicking. That's true, but as Harold descends into madness, he always provides a good break.
The art and editing are great again. All the moments you visualized in the book have a much different feel than on the written page, or even in the movie. The choices on what exact words to leave in have all been excellent, and there are no scenes I found myself wishing had been included. The necessary elements are all here.
I can't give a middle chapter like this five stars. It doesn't resolve anything, does seem a little short considering the price (which is true of all these books), and is just the next step with two more books to go. But, as a fan of the original book, this series has been more than holding its own.
Listmania!
