I'm sad...
I think it has been some time since I had two particular deaths spoiled for me. Perhaps it was in a comment on the forums, or perhaps it was an article online. But the spoilers had been vague enough so I could try to force myself to ignore them and believe the characters would be fine, so I could be surprised when their time came.
Fast forward to yesterday. I was going through some comic books and got the Marvel Spotlight issue from 2007 that features The Dark Tower comics. I took it out so I could read it. I had left it untouched back then because I still did not have the novels (just as I bought the comics and left them waiting for after I actually read the original books). Now that I am reading "Wizard and Glass" I should be able to appreciate the contents of this issue.
But then I read Robin's interview and now it was official. These two important deaths were spoiled in no uncertain way. These characters would die.
It was okay, I thought, since I already knew that. I just could not ignore it anymore, but it was not something new. Until I kept reading (what else could go wrong?) and a detailed description of one of those deaths followed.
Now I will have to try my best to forget that before it actually happens in the books (it will be very hard, as that event apparently marks the point where another important character enters Mid-World).
Marvel Spotlight editor, or Marvel Spotlight writer who did the interview: Please add spoiler warnings if you or your interviewee reveal such important details. Please.
That's all. I needed to vent this... And another sad part about this is that I will now have to wait to finish reading Robin's interview, which is very interesting. If someone here has read it, please let me know if there are further spoilers ahead, or if it is safe to continue reading (for someone who has read the books up until the point Roland first meets Susan).
Thanks.
