Marvel has officially announced the midnight release of the new comic book based on Stephen King’s “The Stand.” The full announcement is here.
Two Oklahoma stores are taking part in the midnight release:
ALL STAR COMICS
6900 N MAY AVE, STE 10
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73116
405-842-7800
SPEEDING BULLET BOOKS & COMICS
614 N PORTER
NORMAN, OK 73071
405-360-6866
(My usual full disclosure note: I am one of the owners of Speeding Bullet.)
I’ve found these Stephen King midnight releases to be a lot of fun in the past, and I’m looking forward to see how “The Stand” translates into comics. The creative team is writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and artist Mike Perkins (”Captain America”).
Also being released at the midnight event is the newest “Dark Tower” series from Marvel.

I ain’t driving to Chico or Manhattan Beach to pick this up, man.

Fair enough! It’s on sale today at all the stores, pretty much. (Except for the midnight variant. You still have to go to the midnight release stores for those, if they have any left.)
