[edit] Release Dates

I know the first issue came out on Feb. 7 2007, but what about the rest of the issues? I think this would be useful info to add to the wiki, and I'd add it if I could find it! SnaX 15:04, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

All fo the release dates arn't out yet Blu elph44 15:50, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I added that they will come out in monthly installments, but this is uncertain as the announcement King's site is from 2005. In fact the sources are contradictory right now, one saying 6 issues and another saying 7 issues, so I went by the more recent one and what Blu elph44 said. Pomte 20:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
there's 7 for sure. I have the first issue and it says 1/7 SnaX 23:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rename

Since the first issue is out and thus the title of The Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born is confirmed, shouldn't the name of this article be changed to reflect that? - Pennyforth 20:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Is that the name for the entire series or just the first mini?--CyberGhostface 20:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
The Marvel site seems to suggest that the series is in fact titled The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born with 7 issues. Pomte 01:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Go fer it then... guess I need to hit the comic shop Monday. — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 02:15, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel-son

I got this comic and there is a whole page of stuff written be "Ralph Macchio" and he is listed as a Senior Editor. Does anyone know if this is the Ralph Macchio of The Karate Kid fame? If so, it would be interesting to add to this article and his own article. --Mus Musculus 21:20, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

He's not.--CyberGhostface 23:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dark Tower: Gunslingers

Isn't there also a 48-paged "Dark Tower: Gunslingers" special coming out from Marvel in April? See http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?book_id=6269 If so, would that info be relevant for this page? What's it about? 152.130.15.14 18:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Dominic

I think its just a guidebook to the various characters, something Marvel does frequently. Not really notable for this article...--CyberGhostface 22:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Okay. To me, it just seemed more notable than the Daily Bugle Special and those horrible Marvel Spotlight issues. The guidebook sounds like it has original Dark Tower: Gunslinger Reborn content. The others are just glorified adverts. 152.130.15.14 13:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Dominic
Oh. If you mean adding it to 'related releases' then go ahead.--CyberGhostface 00:54, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unreleased issues

Is everyone in agreement that we need to add citations per WP:ATT if we add plot summaries of unreleased issues? An anonymous IP has been adding plot summaries and I cannot find any source for them. --Mus Musculus 14:36, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

They're all solictations released by Marvel.--CyberGhostface 19:12, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Are those copied directly? They look like copyvio. --Mus Musculus 19:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
