review 1: I hate to say it, but I think Kirkman needs to end the series now. The longer it goes on, the worse it gets. Volume 18 was filled with unnecessary violence and vulgar language. I'm ok with the occasional f-bomb, but I'm not ok with every other word being an f-bomb. I don't like w...

review 1: It's generally strong. The new characters and locations are interesting and rather distinct, though it does feel like a slight rehashing of the prison part of the story. It did seem pacing and resolution came a little too cleanly and quickly. Then again, I guess one justification...

review 1: I have such conflicting feelings about this book. On the one hand, Robert Kirkman continues to develop his universe in believable ways and the freedom he has to do whatever he wants, because he doesn't have to worry about a larger universe, is used to great effect. On the other...

review 1: The first half of this almost lost me, but the second half hooked me pretty hard. There are some annoying cliches, like the obsessive female cop and the beautiful ex-wife who's with a short, fat, ugly rich guy (seriously, why?), but we'll see what happens. I really dig the main c...

review 1: The Walking Dead, Volume 13, Too Far Gone by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, Cliff Rathburn and others, will please those Waking Dead fans that need a fix of violence and terror that Volume 12 lacked. This installment portrays a frightened and barely civilized community where vio...

review 1: Robert Kirkman is just as bad as George R.R. Martin. Holy shit. I could not believe this death happened and the WAY it happened - my jaw hung open and I just could not continue reading for long moments.... I just can't believe it. To me this is a game changer of a death. So, ...

review 1: While some of the things are a bit far-fetched (I'm looking at you, tiger) at least an effort is made to explain them. Oh, and Jesus is a little bit overly superpowered, sure, but it is not enough to ruin anything for me. The surprise moments and the characters (especially the lo...

review 1: Volume two has a different writer than volume one (remember that Kirkman is really more like a showrunner than a writer here) which is probably why this volume isn't quite as successful. It just feels like it's missing something. The previous volume worked well on nearly every le...

review 1: After feeling like this series has been going nowhere for a while (or at least as long as Negan showed up), it was great to read what truly feels like "a new beginning". There's some good spooky stuff, including Carl developing a confidential relationship with Negan, who sits beh...

review 1: What TWD is about at its best is not really about zombies, per se, but ethics. Like many a vintage Star Trek episode, it asks what people look like in an alien world in which conditions are most desperate: what does it mean, really, to be moral in a zero-sum survival game? Is it ...

review 1: This was a great storyline! This was all about zombies, murder and mayhem! All of the chaos and fighting was well worth the wait! I thought I wanted a fast resolution to keep the story moving to see the people start to build a utopian society, but this was edgy and raw. The ...

review 1: Reprints Invincible #71-78. Mark, his father, and his brother set out to have the last stand against the Viltrumites and not everyone may return to Earth. This book of Invincible is bloodier than normal (which says a lot about it since Invincible is usually pretty bloody). It ...

review 1: This bleedin’ colony…Rick and co. are so cosy in their walled-in compound that the story has become about the various characters hooking up, like a post-zombie apocalypse Big Brother – argh, true horror! Thankfully Robert Kirkman stirs the pot a bit by throwing a massive zombie h...

review 1: It’s a little different trying to write a review of this book compared to others because of the way it’s structured. It’s not unusual for a superhero book to have multiple writer and artist working on it, but in the case of this book its three different writer and artists teams ...

review 1: I'm not sure why people seem bored with this book. I felt like Kirkman did a good job of building tension and then allowing it to explode. Both physically (Rick beats up an abusive spouse, Abraham beats up zombies) and verbally (Glenn picks a fight with Maggie over their boring...

review 1: On the fence about this series.Two things really bother me -- the blatant sexism & the racial segregation.'What? There isn't segregation!' you say.Yep. The subtler form. Black & black couples only. Even the best friend pair in this volume were both black. The majority of characte...

review 1: The problem with comic books--and young adult post-apocalyptic novels that expand over multiple books, for that matter--is that you know your protagonist will never, ever die. I seem to recall some stunt in the 90s where Superman died. But guess what...there's still a Superman....

review 1: Maybe it's just me, but Kirkman's world (and perhaps the comic world in general?) has always seemed just a tad big misogynistic. Maybe that's my own misinterpretation. Maybe the fact that all the strong female characters are just taking what they want when they go after a man.....
