But Mother Abagail shares the dreamscape with nightmare visions of the Dark Man, Randall Flagg — he of the soulless crows, the feral animals and the creeping death of world’s end. As these two battle in the hearts, minds and dreams of the last standing, who will be the “soul survivor?” Marvel’s adaptation of celebrated author Stephen King’s popular apocalyptic novel continues!
