Where is The Talisman Comics?

**Felipe** · December 22nd, 2010

Hello everyone,

Well, does anyone knows something about The Talisman Comics? Was published just 6 volumes (counting the #00) of "The Talisman: The Road of Trials" and the adventure should continue as "The Talisman: A Collision Of Worlds" for Issue #1 on sale Summer 2010.

It's almost 2011 and I didn't saw nothing about the release yet, I've been searching informations on Del Rey website but unsuccessfully, maybe I was too lazy to haven't found it. So, is there something going on that is holding up the comics release? Could anyone speculate something about that, "Right, here and now"?

It's been reported earlier that they do not plan to continue the series.

What is the reason for them not to continue? Elsewhere it was speculated that it's because of some fans being not so happy with Furth's writing. Could that be the reason? Personally I liked the adaptations just fine and were looking forward to more.

I don't know the reason why the publisher decided not to continue. My understanding is that it was their first venture into trying to do comics.

Thanks. Quite a risk then for Del Rey, with such a long-term adaptation and not sure about the future of it. But I really enjoyed the little there was. And BTW, I can't post this on the News section, but King's Mildred Pierce review was written for Newsweek magazine. Its probably already out. The Daily Beast has simply reposted the piece. King's review is titled "Mommie Dearest and Her Devil Daughter" in the mag.

The Daily Beast and Newsweek have merged. The original request came from the Books Editor at The Daily Beast/Newsweek magazine. They did not repost the piece as it was sent to them in the first place.
