Having been a fan of the series since episode 101, and an avid believer in and a stickler for reading the original material on which such things are based, I decided to read the comics.As far as how well I liked the story, characters, and the like contained within this compendium, I have to say I...
Arriving back at their former home, Rick and Carl are settling back in with friends, though most of them have been left broken by the loss of loved ones when the prison fell. Maggie seems to almost be shattered beyond repair even as she and Glenn have basically adopted Sophia, Carol's daughter. ...
This is one of those comedy volumes where Robert Kirkman goes overboard with the misery to the point of hilarity. It’s also another volume where the characters realise, yet again, how far they’ve left their humanity behind them. Yup, just like the last volume. And the one before that. And the one...
This volume has everything. People killing zombies. Zombies killing people. Guys making out with girls. Guys making out with guys. Chaos. Pandemonium. A favorite character dying. And stupid Carl getting his comeuppance for doing stupid Carl shit that nobody cares about. Volume 12 was trans...
It's amazing the shit these people have to contend with, even when holed up in what appears to be a safe place. Volumes like this drive home the notion that no matter how much normalcy the survivors manage to eke out, there will forever be conflicts and drama. Kirkman also furthers his psychologi...
I'm hearing and reading a lot of disappointment in recent volumes of Kirkman's Walking Dead. The criticism is similar to my own eventual criticism of Y The Last Man: it's become redundant, it's not going anywhere, it's gotten too repetitive...Maybe absence does make the heart grow more suspense h...
Rick runs amok, and our brave band of survivors turn out to be much better at everything than the ones they've encountered. Fortunately, Rick, like Nancy Drew, is always right with his hunches. Better living through hand weapons. I was pretty disgusted with this one. One, because Rick has complet...
Poor Rick. He's always not trusting the right people and underestimating the truly deadly ones. So, the governor reincarnated is one SOB. About time we have a deranged villain to hate. I was getting bored of all that regular relationship and death drama. And those walkers... They're old news. Now...
In the wake of the zombie apocalypse, one thought above all else has never left my head: “what happened to all of the Fonzie impersonators?”. Now I know: they all joined together under the leadership of Negan, the latest big bad in The Walking Dead.On their return trip from Hilltop, Rick and co. ...
Well. A death so gruesome and senseless and affecting that I felt a lil nauseous? Another so quick (mid-sentence!) that it actually took me by surprise? That's one way to bring me back into the fold.It brought home the fact that all the other recent deaths and injuries in TWD have held no emotion...
So, let's see. The crew argues with each other over petty stuff? Check.Carl does something stupid and comes out unscathed? Check.The round robin tournament of swapping romantic partners continues? Check.Some psychotic jackass spends more time terrorizing peaceful folk instead of focusing on t...
This is a culmination of all the books coming together and now there is going to be a war. Not a war between people and zombies, but a war between colonies to establish power and to try to get an actual civilization started again. This series has continuously kept me captivated just so I would ...
This is more of what I wanted in the last 2 volumes, but it still suffers from the now-rote Walking Dead cycle of quiet calm, build, build, explosion of action and tension, wash, rinse, repeat. Just like the title says, this is a March to War. There is some absolutely brilliant dialogue contain...
As always, even when Rick messes up, people give him a "man you are just a REAL leader" speech. It gets really old. What I found really weird is that Negan is actually sort of charming, for being a horrible, horrible person. I think it's because he seems to have some over-sharing issues mixed i...
It's been a while since I finished Vol. 19 and this volume makes it easy to get back into the story.The first part of "All Out War" is less an escalation of war, but rather a series of jabs. Most of the jabs have weight, only a few (mainly the flashback) didn't land (which is especially sad as th...
You know... I wish this series would just end. JUST STAHP ALREADY! It's pretty rare that I find reading "The Walking Dead" to be a satisfying way to pass the time anymore. Rick et. al. make plans, the plans get fucked up, lots of people die, rinse and repeat. That's it. That is all this seri...
Still enjoying the series, and looking forward to Robert Kirkman's continuing story of who lives and dies. I like how Maggie is becoming a leader. The relationship between Rick and Andrea works, and I'm wondering how long that will last. Michone and The King is an interesting pairing, but I do...
*Sigh* I really hope whoever kills Negan chops his tiny dick off before they do it. "We don't rape," he says, as he keeps five wives locked in his penthouse and claims they're there of their own free will, whilst threatening their husbands with a burning iron.Also, told you Shiva was gonna end up...
A fitting end to Negan. Though many would disagree on me regarding Rick's proposed life imprisonment on the bastard, I have to say that this is just an initial step towards the change he is longing for. Indeed, society can thrive without the need for violence. Yet, on some parts, violence is stil...
The intensity (and body count) jumps up from previous volumes. It still kills me, though, that the survivors have yet to really develop solid strategies and tactics for dealing with the zombies. I find myself wanting to shake them often and say, "You idiot! You should be doing X!" Rick does final...
This one started out a little confusing for me:1. It's been awhile since I read Volume 132. It seemed like a good amount of time had passed between these two Volumes (maybe it was just me and how long in between the times that I read each one)About 1/4 of the way through this one everything start...
Right off the bat my favorite stories ever have to have Zombies and acctually this is the only book/comic ive ever read that has zombies in it and if you guys no any more Tell ME. so this is about all your ordinary Super Heros Spider Man X Men Hulk ETC. They get infected and nope there no super h...
Time to get to know this new Negan villain fellow. Yep, he's a complete bastard. There's a certain amount of charm to his murderous awfulness, though, plus you've got Carl being almost as scary and that's fun to read too. I'm enjoying the storyline overall -- but half of me wants a faster resolut...
I often question why I'm still reading The Walking Dead comics. They're just as boring as the show oftentimes. And there are way too many insignificant characters to keep track of when you have to wait so long between volumes (who the heck is Gregory again???). Plus it feels like the story is rea...
Things are really heating up as Rick and the rest of the survivors really start to get to know Negan. He has started to take his "half" of the supplies of those living in the Safe Zone. It is supposedly the cost of protection, but it is really a racket to keep Negan and his people from coming i...
In this volume, someone is tracking the group and he is a member of a community that welcomes our little band of survivors with open arms.I was surprised at how much I liked this collection. There wasn't much action. But the writers did a fantastic job with the introduction of the new community. ...
I think I'm finally ready to give up on this series. The new menace is just so unbelievable and over the top. It's just gratutious violence for no reason and it's impossible to imagine people actually living like that. Once again Kirkman seems to have totally missed the point that zombies should ...
het blijft spannend I only which the tv series had such with this story line. lol
This was the first time this series got me to cry. Following on from the last issue I really liked there was a terribly honest and sad conversation between Rick and his son. One of the best moments of this series by far. The rest of the comic felt like they were in transition between main plots. ...
This continues the story of group of survivors. In this issue, they encounter other survivors as they struggle to survive the apocalypse.In this issue, there were three different plotlines. The first plotline I did not care for. I believe it was there just for shock value and not for character de...
This is written with such depth and introspection that it almost feels like the writer knows what it's like to live in a zombie apocalypse. My friends always gather around talking about how we'd survive no problem, but you never take into account the threat of constant dwindling of food and weapo...
This was quite an exciting chapter of The Walking Dead. The group is recovering from one boy killing another boy and the fact that one of the group killed that boy. A minister has entered the group and claims he has lived alone for awhile and only left his church to find food. The group feels the...
Hello? Hello, story? Where did you go?!You were there during the whole Governor thing, and even for a little bit after but these last couple volumes, you’ve been totally absent. And what’s worse is that this volume doesn’t even have a zombie herd attacking – the characters are stuck doing nothing...
Roger Ebert once wrote of the human centipede: "is it good? is it bad? does it matter? It is what it is and it occupies a world where stars don't shine." The same could be said of this book. At one point, the villain tells the hero, "I'm going to slide my **** in your throat and make you thank me...
Oh man, the next trade will officially end my Walking Dead trade reading Marathon. Big things go down in this volume. I really do think this is the highest point of the series. There is a difference between having villains that are just despicable sociopaths, only around for doing something distu...
Alright. So Negan has been defeated. I'm interested in seeing where the story goes from here. I'm guessing Rick's gonna have a wicked bad limp now. Hopefully Daryl gets introduced at some point. I think it's weird that they're keeping Negan alive under the pretense of keeping their humanity. I th...
This series keeps getting better and more intense...I can't wait to see what happens next. This series keeps getting better and more intense...I can't wait to see what happens next.
The pattern of these books is now quite easy to get: You get one epice book followed by a calm one that builds up the next epic arc.This one is one of the building up ones. While previous books were focusing on the smaller community, this one expands to the larger world.Gregory isn't likeable at ...
El otro día le puse cuatro estrellitas a Asterios Polyp porque me sorprendió lo interesante y anti-comercial que era la historia. Ahora le pongo el mismo puntaje a otro comic que tiene virtudes completamente opuestas a la de aquel, el monumento al pochoclo más divertido que haya leído en los últi...
I saw this on the shelf at the library and had to check it out. Even though I haven't read the first volume yet (I didn't even know this series existed until yesterday) I couldn't wait. It is probably more engaging if you know the backstory, but it was still interesting enough conceptually and vi...
This book is really disturbing. I usually like future scenarios like What If and Guardians of the Galaxy where the regular heroes are free to die, but the whole point of this is that the zombies don't resemble the old heroes. And I really don't like all-powerful heroes, so when all the zombies ...
The survivors find an oasis in the chaos. Is all as it seems? echt een briljante reeks!
The series takes an interesting twist as the mysterious man our heroes were being trailed by turns out to be a scout for a community that has pulled together for the betterment of all. As you can imagine, Rick and the gang are pretty cautious after past experiences with such communities turned s...
Just watched it. For now, I got no plans for buying a copy. This new storyline they're going with at the moment seems interesting. Wonder how long it'll last...
Para más estrellas hubiera necesitado más explicaciones. Nice change of pace with a change of the conflict among the group. Love to see where this is going.
The amount of people getting bored with this series seems to be escalating. Maybe Robert Kirkman saw himself as a marvel writer. He could just keep these characters alive for 20 years and intrigue new generations. I've never read marvel comics though, but I've heard they have a well developed plo...
Another day, another dollar? I guess? Except who gives a shit about money when there are zombies?They've finished off the zombies that invaded the Safe-Zone, Carl is in a coma, some of the Safe-Zoners resent Rick and his group for changing things, people are dead all over the place, stupid Abraha...
The title "We Find Ourselves" should have warned me. One of the flaws of the series is that often, the writer tells us through dialogue that the character is changing, instead of showing us through actions. In addition to that, insight and changes seem to happen regularly (if we are to believe th...
Whoa! So many little nuanced moments to keep you guessing here. Quite a bit of time has passed since the war with Neegan, and there have been some serious changes made. Many of those changes, seem to be for the good, but as we all know, or should know by now where TWD is concerned, the good ne...
Ooh, cliffhanger... This was my first exposure to the graphic novels. Stark style that serves the material.
Watched the series, but not read this. This series keeps getting better and more intense...I can't wait to see what happens next.
Okay except for the ending. Good stuff there. Hard to remember what happens with all the time between tpb. Summary for me to remember.Carl whined a lot, made some wooden animals, and is now an apprentice blacksmith so he can whine to a molten fire.Rick grew a huge beard.They lead hordes away like...
Art's nice. Simple form of realism without being over-padded.Story was all déja-vue. The Italian Job, Ocean's 11, and a bunch of others have already told what is basically the same exact story.A few "fun" instances, but over all, pretty run of the mill stuff.There are alot of way better crime sto...
Plowed through it in one sitting, and that was just fine. I love caper stories, and thought this one was top notch. Not sure I want to follow up with future issues, but I'm a sucker for the guy who's "The Best of The Best" navigating his way through a plot. The time jumps didn't bother me, and...
This series was pretty crazy. It picks up right after the events with Glenn and gets interesting quick. It is very action packed. I was a bit disappointed because I thought it would include a resolution to things with Negen but apparently that hasn't occured yet (within these issues). Negen ...
The third book in Robert Kirkman's New York Times bestselling series: The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor – Part One! The Walking Dead original novel series, set in the universe of Robert Kirkman's iconic comic book, continues with The Fall of the Governor – Part One. From co-authors Kirk...
The sound stiffens half the settlers in the area, faces snapping toward the noise of an approaching engine, which is groaning through its low gears. It could be anyone. Word has spread across the plagued land of thugs pillaging the living, bands of heavily armed rovers stripping survivors of ever...
Bordered on three sides by weed-whiskered clapboard fencing and scattered garbage Dumpsters, the place has a hand-painted sign over its twin fuel islands—one diesel and three gas pumps—which says FORTNOY’S FUEL AND BAIT. The single-story building features a flyspecked office, a retail store, and ...
“OPEN FIRE!—KILL THEM ALL!!—WE GOT THEM PINNED DOWN!!” On either side of the tank, a total of seven members of the Woodbury militia fan out in different directions, most of them leading with the barrels of their assault rifles, shooting at anything that moves. The exercise yard crawls with chaos ...
It feels terrific, however, to get this far in less than an hour. Highway 85 has far less wreckage blocking its lanes than Interstate 20, and the population of dead has thinned considerably. Most roadside buildings are still intact, their windows and doors battened and secured. The stray dead wal...
Miles Littleton kicks the brake pedal and skids the Challenger across a weathered macadam in the middle of Thomaston Woods. He comes to a screeching halt on a hairpin that sits at the top of Mullins Hill. His headlights throw two beams of silver through the foggy, dense wall of birches in front o...
