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 in with his psychotic tendencies ("in my more private moments I've rubbed my dick on her"-Rick's face is very WTF as Negan is telling him this).That said it was nice to see Rick actually spectacularly fuck up, and that as a result their attack will be expected. Another issue in which I had trouble figuring out which short dark-haired character was Maggie and which was Carl. But! King Ezekiel and Shiva were nice new characters. In the zombie apocalypse dystopia that Rick and company are living in, it feels like civilization has rebuilt itself to the point of small villages and loose city-states. And while, back in the day, the Governor laid siege to their prison that didn't really have the feel of what we're leading up to here. War is coming to the zombie apocalypse.I was expecting that "March to War" would be one of those calm before the storm volumes that the series seems to regularly have. And, to a point, it kind of is considering where everything seems to be leading for the next volume. That, however, doesn't mean that things don't go completely sideways and get horrible pretty fast in this book.Great volume that has me barely stopping to write this review before I grab the next one.
What do You think about Op Oorlogspad (2014)?
Negan is the most interesting character since the Governor - and probably more terrifying.
