Monday Madness THE STAND: NIGHT HAS COME "Finale" Part 1

SPOILERS:
This is the conclusion of the mega-adaptation of Stephen King's mega-novel.

Read no further if you don't want to know how the book ends!
OTOH, if you want to see how it compares to the ending of the CBS All-Access mini-series, jump in!

To Be Continued

Next Monday!

Previously, we brought you the opening chapter of the multi-miniseries adaptation HERE!
Now that the TV mini-series is airing, we thought now would be the right time to present the finale so you could contrast-and-compare!

Trivia: Marvel needed six mini-series from 2008 to 2012 to adapt the 1990 revised and expanded edition of the already-massive 1978 novel!

Randall Flagg, a character who appears in many of King's stories, unifying them into one "multiverse", makes his debut in The Stand novel.

But, in comics, he premiered in Marvel's Dark Tower adaptation, which was published before The Stand!

Monday Madness / CoronaVirus Comics Y: THE LAST MAN "UnManned" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...various seemingly-unrelated events that will (almost) all tie together by the end of this entry...

And the premiere comes full circle...

Written by Brian K Vaughn, penciled by Pia Guerra, and inked by José Marzan, Jr., this intro from Vertigo's Y: the Last Man #1 (2002) tells the story. clearly and concisely, setting up multiple plotlines for the future.

There's lots of concepts jammed into the multi-award winning post-apocalyptic 60-issue series including political conspiracies, ethical dilemma of cloning, LGBT extremists, and interracial love, among others.
Sadly, all of these concepts are still controversial.
Note the series does conclude on a somewhat happy note as humanity manages to figure out a way to rebuild, so the generation the story is set in isn't the end of the human race.
And, there's a TV mini-series now in production, soon to air on FX.
(Presuming it restarts production after the CoronaVirus pandemic ends, and reshoots almost every scene already filmed since they had to replace the lead actor...)

When Last We Left Our Protaganists...

...oh, and a car containing a scientist on the run, his wife, and their child just crashed into a gas station...

(BTW, the "Captain Trips" of the title is nickname of the disease!)

Adapted by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and illustrated by Mike Perkins, Marvel's The Stand: Captain Trips #1 (2008) details the accidental release of a fast-acting viral bio-weapon that will shortly decimate the world's population!
