The Stand: Graphic Novels #3
Противостояние: Уцелевшие души
Несчастные и изнуренные "счастливчики", выжившие после эпидемии, первое время были озабочены лишь тем, как приспособиться к существованию в мире, в котором уже почти не осталось надежды. Души их обессилены и измучены не меньше, нежели умы и тела. Но когда первый этап пройден, и вопрос о том, как прожить новый день, уже стоит не так остро, их начинают посещать сны - частые и навязчивые, в которых им является пожилая негритянка, играющая на гитаре на террасе ветхого домишки где-то в Небраске и предлагающая им если не саму надежду, то по крайней мере шанс на нее. Но успокоительные сны с матушкой Абигейл чередуются с кошмарными видениями, в которых царствует Темный человек, Рэндалл Флэгг, со своей свитой из зловещих воронов и диких зверей, предрекая скорый конец света. И пока эти двое ведут битву за сердца, умы и мечты тех, кто остался в этом мире, чьим душам удастся уцелеть?

About the author
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
462 books476 followersRoberto Aguirre-Sacasa is an American playwright, screenwriter, and comic book writer best known for his work for Marvel Comics and for the television series Glee, Big Love, Riverdale, and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. He is Chief Creative Officer of Archie Comics.
Aguirre-Sacasa grew up liking comic books, recalling in 2003, "My mom would take us out to the 7-Eleven on River Road during the summer, and we would get Slurpees and buy comics off the spinning rack. I would read them all over and over again, and draw my own pictures and stuff."
He began writing for Marvel Comics, he explained, when "Marvel hired an editor to find new writers, and they hired her from a theatrical agency. So she started calling theaters and asking if they knew any playwrights who might be good for comic books. A couple of different theaters said she should look at me. So she called me, I sent her a couple of my plays and she said 'Great, would you like to pitch on a couple of comic books in the works?'"
His first submissions were "not what [they were] interested in for the character[s]" but eventually he was assigned an 11-page Fantastic Four story, "The True Meaning of...," for the Marvel Holiday Special 2004. He went on to write Fantastic Four stories in Marvel Knights 4, a spinoff of that superhero team's long-running title; and stories for Nightcrawler vol. 3; The Sensational Spider-Man vol. 2; and Dead of Night featuring Man-Thing.
In May 2008 Aguirre-Sacasa returned to the Fantastic Four with a miniseries tie-in to the company-wide "Secret Invasion" storyline concerning a years-long infiltration of Earth by the shape-shifting alien race, the Skrulls,and an Angel Revelations miniseries with artists Barry Kitson and Adam Polina, respectively. He adapted for comics the Stephen King novel The Stand.
In 2013, he created Afterlife with Archie, depicting Archie Andrews in the midst of a zombie apocalypse; the book's success led to Aguirre-Sacasa being named Archie Comics' chief creative officer.

I continue to be impressed with The Stand graphic novel series. It really does justice to the source material. Having recently reread the book (within the past couple of years), it has been easy to make a comparison. I am so glad that it has stayed true to the book – this didn’t need to stray! Also, I am sure it was difficult to take a very verbose novel and figure out how to tell it with just a few words and pictures.
Speaking of pictures, as much as I like the story, I am not super gung-ho about the artwork. It is okay, and some of the images are very powerful. But, just as often as it is powerful, some of the images are awkward. Maybe it is a facial expression that is off, a slightly unusual use of depth, or the orientation of the depicted scene is just a bit off. Certainly not terrible (I couldn’t do better), but distracting none the less.
Even with my issues with the artwork, the volume is very powerful. It focuses on the people who are generally considered the “good” survivors of the plague; lots of good drama, new characters, tense moments, dreams accomplished, and nightmares threatening. It appears the next volume will focus primarily on the “bad” survivors.
While I don’t recommend reading this unless you have read the book, if the book is just too much for you, this would definitely not be a bad way to get the story.

The gang continue their trek across America. They are all converging with Mother Abigail or the Man in Black. The man in Black is making it either your are with him or you are against him. There are some crazy people out there and people are dying.
This continues to tell this story true to the source. It is very well done. I'm enjoying this and I can't wait to get the next volume.

Como el propio nombre del tomo indica, se trata de los supervivientes, los que llama la madre Abigail. Vemos distintas historias de los grupos que se van formando e incluso de un grupo llega ya, a la casa de Abigail, mientras otros siguen su camino hacia allí.
El dibujo como siempre excelente.

This is the third volume of a very well-done and faithful adaptation of one the most popular novels of the last century. The story is quite well adapted to the graphic novel format, and the (not for the squeamish at times) art advances and enhances the script, though I honestly didn't like the art as much in this volume. It's just not the way I had pictured the new characters, probably. Overall, it's a different approach than was used for the Dark Tower series but is more successful is some ways. I don't think it should be read -instead of- King's prose, and it doesn't add anything major to the story, but I found it to be a very enjoyable entertainment. The story moves right along, as the good guys draw closer to the patiently waiting Mother Abigail, and the nasties are heading for Vegas. M-O-O-N, that spells moving right along.

Nick Andros continues on his trek across America, stumbling across Tom Cullen, a mentally handicapped survivor of the plague. While the two aren't exactly compatible at first, they soon realize that they're important to one another after two near death experiences. We're also catching up on Larry Underwood's journey as he meets up with Nadine Cross and her much younger companion.
Stu Redman collides with Frannie and Harold as they're on their way to Vermont. Harold holds his ground as he's not exactly willing to trust a stranger but an event later on brings the group closer together.
Not exactly a focal point this time around, the Dark Man's influence and appearances in the character's nightmares still lingers in the background. However, word is spreading that he's assembling an army.
Volume 3 is a good bridging gap between the installments. There are a few important developments but nothing quite as jarring as a few scenes from the first two volumes. I will say that the gore is certainly in full force this time around - especially during a violent confrontation involving Frannie, Harold and Stu as they face down a roadblock created by murders and rapists.
With 3 volumes left and a hell of a lot story to tell, I am a little worried with how they're going to bring it to us, the constant readers. With how well they've adapted the story so far, it's hard not to have faith.

Best part? The evil weasels. :)
Worst part? Where's Joe's underpants?
Sigh. Still, the art is good and the plot is moving along FAST. What can we expect in 6 volumes that took something around 1,200 pages to tell? lol

Este volumen me ha gustado un poquito menos que los anteriores, ya que la trama se estanca un poco. En este volumen vemos como los supervivientes se van reuniendo en grupos, y como el grupo de Nick Andros y Tom Cullen se reunen con la madre Abigail, y emprenden el viaje hacia Boulder.
Las ilustraciones como en los anteriores volúmenes son maravillosas.

This continues to be an excellent adaptation of King's epic novel. The characterizations are spot on, the narrative flows nicely and the artwork truly captures the magnitude of the action. It would have been no small feat to re-imagine the sprawling, 1000+ pages of the novel into this projected 6 book series, and I'm impressed by what I've seen so far. Like any adaptation, choices have to be made, things left out or glossed over, but so far the overall integrity of King's story and The Stand's larger themes remain intact.

I enjoyed this installment way more than the second, and every bit as much as the first.
Why 4 stars? The art.
The art was a serious bummer. It was still gritty at times, but the brighter colors, rounder images, and more inconsistent depictions of the main characters (most criminally Abigail) let the story down. You could still work in the brightness, I mean Nebraska needs to be bright and hopeful, but the world was a demonstrably bonkers place and the overall palate didn't match.
As an adaptation, the writing and character development and storytelling were great. The story arch was skillfully moved along, and I'm a total believer in Marvel's ability to take all but sacred novels and convert them into graphic novels that even the most demanding fan-person hipster should enjoy.
I was glad to love this collection more than the last (though they received the same score), and am even more excited to keep going. It is starting to get exciting now, so frankly if you don't have the time to dedicate to get through the other 300 pages, if you start here you won't be disappointed.

Rating this series is tricky because I'm not sure how I would appreciate it without having read the original source so long ago. Even when characters and events aren't explored in as much depth, my memory starts filling in the gaps. It makes it difficult to judge the characters as portrayed separately from the original novel. I'm almost tempted to read The Stand again since it would be more gratifying than waiting for the rest of this series to be released.

Vemos como todos van poco a poco acercándose a su destino, mayormente hacia la granja de Madre Abigail. Genial el dibujo

The difficulty of adapting a massive book like The Stand starts to show. The pacing in this volume isn't great and the vast amount of characters make it hard to keep up characterization. Still, the comic remains VERY true to the original and you can feel the love of everyone involved has for it.

(This review was originally published by GraphicNovelReporter.com on July 20, 2012)
Adaptations are a tricky business. Stray too far from the source material or inject different plot or character developments and you're ostracized for not being beholden to the material. Follow it too closely and you're criticized for being derivative. Finding a happy medium isn't always easy, particularly when you care so much for the original. I've always been a huge Stephen King fan, and I rank The Stand as one of his absolute best. As such, I was a bit wary of The Stand: Soul Survivors when it landed on my doorstep for review.
Unlike The Dark Tower series Marvel Comics started up a few years back, where the back-story of gunslinger Roland Deschain was unraveled, The Stand represents a straight adaptation of a seminal work in King's pantheon. The world of The Dark Tower had a history that was only briefly mentioned through inferences, but rarely elaboration, which allowed comic writer Peter David to weave a tapestry set well before finding Roland in the desert, chasing after The Man in Black in the first of seven novels. The Stand, however, was a massive self-contained work. There is little room for back-story and interpretation—what you read was what you got. After the success of The Dark Tower comics, both critically and from fans of King's original works, Marvel looked toward another King classic to adapt and turned to the post-apocalyptic world of The Stand.
Soul Survivors is the third and middle volume of Marvel Comics' adaptation of King's enormous novel, and it very much feels like a midway point. A superflu virus has wiped out much of America, and the survivors are learning how to carry on. They're starting to find one another as they trek across the desolate landscapes and regroup. Each of them is haunted by dreams of opposing figures: The Dark Man, who represents the oldest evil on Earth and is leaving a trail of crucified victims along the dead interstates on his way to Las Vegas, and Mother Abigail, a frail geriatric doing God's work by attempting to draw the survivors to her home in Nebraska.
Nick Andros, a deaf mute who can only communicate through his writings, finds the mentally challenged Tom Cullen as he struggles to make it to Abigail. Elsewhere, Stu Redman and his small band of survivors find the ruins of a plague center and learn of the horrors and dangers in this brave new world as they struggle with human slavers and surgery in a world where medicine is scarce. Abigail herself searches for hope in God's will while waiting for the survivors to reach her.
Being the middle volume of the series, Soul Survivors is not the ideal place for new readers to begin the story. As the midway centerpiece to the story, there is a bit of a lull as characters figure out their new place in the world, as they gather themselves and others to prepare for the coming of the Dark Man. For fans of the original novel, curious to see what's happening with this adaptation, it may be easy enough to pick up with this chapter, and there is a fairly helpful synopsis of the events thus far at the start of the volume. As with any adaptation though, there are tricks and shortcuts made from the original. Taking what amounted to several hundred pages in the original novel and translating it into a smaller chunk for the artistic medium requires a certain shorthand. There are flourishes here and there, and some deviations from the original source in order to add a bit of drama through the visuals.
However, if you are a reader who was excited by the opening volleys of The Stand and has followed the story through those two volumes, Captain Trips and American Nightmares, there is certainly no reason not to continue. This volume opens the door for the upcoming chapters, setting the stage for the challenges of surviving in a post-apocalyptic America and the looming battle with the Dark Man and his evil forces. Although I already know where the story is going, I am still curious to see how the comic-book version gets there.

This third entry into this excellent series is more narrative driven than the previous two books. It also features less of Randall Flagg who up to now has been the most compelling character. He still plays a major part in the book as the menacing evil that he is but Mr. Flagg has no direction affect on the story. Instead the reader is introduced to some new characters and given a background story for Mother Abigail. All this happening while the story moves forward and the various parts start to connect. This book focuses on the good side of the epic Good vs Evil confrontation and while there are a lot of scenes of tranquil fields and romantic sunsets it is countered by some grey areas surrounding certain characters and two tragic deaths that emphasize the plight our protagonists find themselves in. The characters and artwork are still consistent with the previous volumes and the writing - particularly at the end of the book - is top notch and will leave the reader wanting to follow the journey these people find themselves on. At the half-way point of this six volume series I think I can safely say that we are exactly were we should be.

Ok so this book took a turn downhill a bit. The tension in and within the characters are amping up to level 11...but the narrative suffers here a bit since there's SO MUCH exposition to get through with so many characters. I blame King, not the Marvel adaptation. But really, I don't know how the story could've gotten around this part. Even in the novel, this is the toughest part to get through...just the sheer amount of "getting to know" all 20 characters a bit. And in a shortened, abbreviated graphic novel...it feels choppy. One one hand, to give service to the story, this part of the novel should've been given two graphic novel editions...but on the other hand, it would've drug it out to no end. What's the solution here? Not sure. It's not that I'm super disappointed...it's just that other than a couple of really tense actions scenes that were done really well in the graphic novel, I found myself really waiting to see what was in the next edition.
Which is..up next! Woohoo!

Reseña del Tomo anterior: Apocalipsis Vol.2 Pesadillas americanas
Continuamos la historia con el tercer tomo de Apocalipsis en donde veremos mas sobre los sueños vividos que han tenido nuestros protagonistas y éstos tomarán aun mayor importancia en la trama.
Aquí tendremos la aparicióny desaparición de varios personajes, además de que, para mi, es el punto de quiebre entre el inicio y la "verdadera" trama.
"Nadie sabe lo que ocurre entre la persona que eras y la persona en que te has convertido. No hay mapas del cambio. Simplemente... sales del otro lado. O no sales ya."
Lo Mejor: La incursión de nuevos personajes.
Lo Peor: Es bueno pero no TAN bueno como los tomos anteriores.
Sobre los extras... De nuevo agradezco las portadas alternativas, los bocetos y las entrevistas, ayudan a que la historia sea aun mas vívida.

Una excelente adaptación de una de las mas ambiciosas novelas de Stephen King (The Stand). Leí The Stand hace décadas, antes que hubiera ningún lugar como este para reseñarla y guardarla en la memoria. Igual mi recuerdo era que me había encantado. Así que cuando exploraba Issuee (un verdadero tesoro para BDs/Comics) y me topé con esta adaptación gráfica, era inevitable probarla. Y el resultado es excelente. El ambiente, la historia, los personajes, reflejan espectacularmente la novela original. De hecho, el esfuerzo de los creadores gráficos es realmente intepretar el sentido de la obra y de sus héroes y malvados, quien sabe, hasta hace esta adapatación mas sabrosa. Uno puede ver los rostros--incluso los malvados--, ambientes, paisajes de la novela y quiza sumergirse más fácilmente en ese sueño terrorífico.

Tom Cullen has always been one of my favorite King characters so I was thrilled when he was introduced. Julie was a high-toned bitch just like she is in the novel, so that felt right as well.
What I didn't love about this installment was the art work. I usually read comics a little slow because I am so enamored with the art on the page, but this time I just flipped on through. The images were too bright and hopeful looking for the tale. Things were more more,,,I don't know, "rounded", for lack of a better word. It wasn't enough to ruin my enjoyment, but we are getting to the meat of this story now and I hope the art improves so the story and the images coincide.

Justo leí una reseña que apoya mis pensamientos: la novela tiene muy poca profundidad en los personajes (lo cual es comprensible), pero mi mente va llenando esos huecos de acuerdo a lo que leí hace tantos años (haciendo cuentas, leí Apocalipsis hace once años). Tal vez eso va sesgando un poco la manera en que juzgo la adaptación, o bien la subestimo o la exagero. En este número, particularmente, la descripción artística no me pareció tan buena como en los previos tomos.

I had never forgotten how great this story was, these graphic novels are just reaffirming how right I was. I had really missed these characters.

Tom Cullen was an intriguing character, out of all of them. Still, not a book for me.

Hoo boy, it's starting to get weird and sexist. Not the adapters' fault, though they didn't help things with they way they framed/drew the whole Julie Lawry section, which I have always hated, and which is not improved by physically improbable short shorts and the type of skinny female comics body that looks stupid in a superhero comic and even dumber in something trying to be gritty.
Anyway, that atmo is still enjoyably visceral. And Frannie is less annoying in this adaptation because you don't constantly have to read that in her diary she spells "says" as "sez." Small mercies!

I'm continuing to enjoy this adaptation, they are doing a great job hitting to beats and high points of the story. In this volume Nick meets Tom Cullen, Larry meets Nadine and Joe, and Stu hooks up with Frannie and Harold, oh and Lloyd meets Flagg. More importantly we meet Mother Abigail. Onward to Boulder!

Absolutely excellent storyline. The art is also of a very high calibre, except, can someone explain why a 16 yr. old kid looks like he's 38?!?
