Following the success of its "Dark Tower" adaptations, Marvel Comics is set to release Stephen King's post apocalyptic classic "The Stand" as a 30-part, multiple miniseries comic and The House of Ideas has pegged fan favorite Mike Perkins ("Captain America") as the artist.

I'm very happy for Mike! This is a great opportunity and couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I'm pretty excited for this project. The Stand is amazing.

The Dark Tower was adapted pretty sweetly, so I'm looking forward to this one. Can't say that The Stand is one of my favorite Stephen King-books, but I really hope this will be good.
And I'm actually hoping they will adapt IT after this one. Man, talk about an epic story, that one could really be great.

They should adapt IT and hold nothing back. Make it MAX if they have to. It's pretty dark and disturbing and if you do it, do it right. And get an artist with a dark approach to pencil it.

I really wish he'd stay on Cap, just because I love his art there and have little interest in The Stand, but, realistically, this is his big break, so I wish him well. He's one of the most underrated artists out there.
