Oh god the germs are everywhere! Where’s my soap!? Must be clean….must be clean….

Sorry, I’m just getting a little nervous right now…the disease is everywhere dont you see it? I can, and it’s all thanks to the bastards who wrote such a good issue this week with The Stand.

The first issue was pretty good, a first part of setting us up for the inveitable conclusion that’ll get us into the main mini-series for this. But this issue, my god it’s got me so worked up on how germs and diseases are spread. I understood in simple terms how and why they spread, but man this issue creeped me the hell out with the two page spread on the infection. It took one guy, one lonely guy; to set a chain of events to infect the entire state of Texas with the Captain Trips disease. That just blew my socks off and it was done so well in both the art and story aspects of that two page spread. The story itself overall was pretty good, it’s all exposition mind you…I mean we got a longs, I mean a loooong way to go before this series is even finish. So if this prologue is ment to give us personalities to the survivors before the actual book, I can dig it.

The art is pretty soild as well, nothing too fancy; I mean it’s realistic here. No monsters, no explosions, nothing bizarre; just a full issue on how realistically people are being infected and how they fight the disease. I’m expecting this little mini to get much more disturbing cause we havent even focus on the world wide aspects of this infection yet. It’s only two issues in though, and The Dark Tower is a juggernaut when it comes to adaptations….But I must say, if this series can keep the quality issue after issue, this could definitely be better then Dark Tower.

(Oh and that hint of Randall Flag towards the end, awesome! Pick of the Week for me)

Now where is the soap!?
