What We Think

Consider this graphic adaptation mercifully low on woke overreach. It sticks close to King's original grim vision, avoids forced representation, and reflects a variety of values. If you're looking for a solid, non-woke post-apocalyptic tale, this one's for you.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Stand Vol. 1: Captain Trips' mostly stays faithful to the spirit of King's classic, focusing on character-driven storytelling and classic themes of good versus evil. There's no obvious attempt to insert characters for the sake of diversity, and character traits are prioritized over box-checking.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like faith, family, and struggle are central to the story. If anything, the book leans into classic Americana and morality rather than subverting or mocking these foundations. It doesn't modernize or revise core values beyond what's present in the source material.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The book represents a range of perspectives and flaws across its cast. There's no heavy-handed demonizing of traditional or alternative viewpoints, and moral ambiguity remains key. No obvious ideological consensus is forced upon the reader.
