review 1: The group of survivors are settled in and normal things are occurring (as normal as they can be in a zombie apocalypse). People are socializing and getting to know each other in a more intimate level. If you are fan of this series you know that cannot last and it doesn't. A massive zombie herd attacks the compound and things look grim.I enjoyed this collection as its message was even when things look horrible people still can rely on people and even people who don't seem heroic can step up and be counted on. That being said, this was probably the hardest collection to rate. The majority of the book was enjoyable but I felt like nothing new was brought to the table. In fact, I found myself wondering to myself if the writers had no idea how to proceed and they were just spin... morening their tires. Then I read the last 20 pages and the writers proved that I couldn't be more wrong. The phrase to characterize these pages is "HOLY CRAP!" Just when I think that certain characters could not endure anymore pain the writers decide to make them suffer by the worst way possible. If I had to give a rating based on these last pages my rating would have been the highest possible. Since I am rating the whole collection I gave it the four star grade.My recommendation is to read this installment for its message and definitely for its concluding pages. Also, there is a certain conversation between two characters that I believe is some major foreshadowing. If this event happens it will affect the entire group.
review 2: My thoughts on Volume 14 of this long running series are mixed. On the one hand, Kirkman bring backs zombie action with a vengeance here, ratcheting up the suspense to near unbearable levels. At the same time, though, the story is encumbered by long, emotional monologues that strain patience and credulity - the kind of monologues that, if The Walking Dead was a bad '40s play or film, would result in the other actor in the scene standing awkwardly off to the side, with no guidance from the director, just waiting, waiting, waiting... They're the kind of awkwardly staged scenes Chris Claremont used to write for The X-Men, resulting in me pitching into the trash can the only comic book collection (The Phoenix Saga) I've thrown away. less
