review 1: As always I am amazed that I have found that I like to read comics. While my interest may have been sparked by a fantastic TV show, I do beleive that the Walking Dead comics have opened my eyes to consider trying other types of comics as well. But a note to the reader (or parents if you will) - this is not your Spiderman Comic - it is graphic, it is full of violence, it is full of cursing, and full of adult themes.I am always amazed at how the creator continues this story of essentially what I like to call the fall of humanity. And yet there are characters who strive to keep their humanity and battle with the struggle to do so daily. While the "walker" is in the story, the walker is really not the story - the story is truly about what humans will do to survive - not on... morely for each other but against each other.Looking forward to what happens next.
review 2: The war between Rick's people and Negan's gang continues in this issue. Negan had just fire-bombed Rick's compound, forcing them to flee to the Hilltop. Rick regroups there and makes plans for his next move while Neegan discovers the ammo-making place that Eugene had set up. So both sides are restocked with bullets and Neegan has potential to negotiate. Things go back and forth for a while until the final confrontation at the end of the book.The tactics used on both sides are fairly interesting and exciting. The ultimate resolution is unsatisfying. As a villain, Neegan is little more than a sweary version of the Governor. He's brutal and comes up with some tough tactics. His crazy, over-the-top routine eventually wears out the loyalty of his followers. Rick's big speech before the final confrontation also seems like it was cribbed from the speech he gave to the Governor on the TV show before their final confrontation at the prison. I was experiencing some deja vu, and not in a good way. Rick's final decision about Neegan is a big change but I worry the writer did it more to drag out the drama than as to put an interesting new angle on things.The next volume doesn't come out till November 2014 and I'm not sure I will read it. I guess I'll get it from the library but The Walking Dead comics are no longer a high priority for me. less
