Gunslinger Roland Deschain has seen the death of his lover Susan Delgado. And the Big Coffin Hunters who burned her at the stake are now in pursuit of Roland and his ka-tet Cuthbert and Alain.

The second of five comic book mini-series, a spin-off of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. This monthly comic book consists of 5 issues, published between March 5, 2008 and July 2, 2008. The story depicts the title character of Roland Deschain as he returns to Gilead from Mejis. Whereas The Gunslinger Born was largely based on the events of The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass, The Long Road Home showcases mostly new material not found in any of the novels.

As Roland's spirit floats through todash space it is irresistibly drawn to End-World and the court of the Crimson King himself! There the young gunslinger comes face-to-face with the very embodiment of evil in its own domain. And for the last of the line of Eld there may be no way out. Meanwhile, on Mid-World, Alain and Cuthbert desperately struggle to protect Roland's unconscious form, and themselves, against a pack of ravening wolves.

With Roland's spirit still trapped in the court of the Crimson King, the Dark Ruler makes the young gunslinger a shocking offer that may cost the last line of Eld his eternal soul.
