• SOUL SURVIVORS OVERVIEW:  M-O-O-N spells the start of the third volume of Marvels critically acclaimed adaptation of Stephen Kings horror epic. Nick Andros has hit the road and teamed up with the child-like Tom Cullen. After the horrors of Captain Trips, a bike trip through Oklahoma and Nebraska sounds like fun, right? Except its tornado season, True Believers, and not everyone Nick and Tom meet is on the side of the angels. Hell hath no fury like Julie Lawry, another survivor of the plague...

• As fans of the insta-classic know, "The Stand" has gone through a few incarnations in the years since King first released it in 1978. While the story remained the same—two groups of survivors face off against one another in a mythical battle of good versus evil following a devastating pandemic—the 1990 "Complete and Uncut Edition" fleshed out the action significantly.
  
  This version, according to THE STAND editor Bill Rosemann, will come to life in the Marvel Comics adaptation. "From the very first cough to the sinister showdown with the Walkin Dude himself, this is the official and authentic translation of Stephen Kings sprawling saga—taken from the "Complete & Uncut Edition"—only as Mighty Marvel can!"
