So... the Walking Dead...
I saw on DS news that the Walking Dead #100 had sold over a third of a million copies.
I've watched the TV show and read the comic since about issue 93 or so. I'm not sure I get it. I like the show, but somewhat hate it as well. Truth be told, I probably don't like the show but I really want to, so I put up with it. Absolute truth, the show is crap but I like zombies and it's not like we're groaning under the weight of post-zombie-apocalypse shows right now so I'll take what I can get. This should make no difference to the comix though. I've read only half a dozen issues and can't see anything incredible about them - big whoop, right? I get that on-going characters have momentum so a lot of emotion-shocking content probably flies right over my head, but shouldn't there be a stronger story? Perhaps it's just the slow pace of the overall story and I need to read more. I ordered up a few of the TPBs to catch up. I'm sure I'll be a rabid fan once I've re-mortgaged the house and bought the rest of them. |

I picked up the 50 issue omnibus book after a few friends raved about it. Thought that was alright so carried on reading beyond that but I've quit now. They go around in circles and I got tired of it. The other humans are the real baddies bla bla bla...
They find a place to settle, some other humans cause trouble, Rick tries to deal with that trouble, walkers slip through the cracks, Rick's group moves. They find a place to live, some other humans cause trouble, Rick tries to deal with it, walkers slip through the cracks, Rick's group moves... repeat ad nauseum with the occasional random factor of either an established character dying a horrible death or facing some trauma and/or the introduction of a major antagonist. |

Honestly after Fear The Hunters arc you might as well give up, the last 20 or so issues have been a downward spiral or repetitiveness.
Issue 66 is pretty much the point it started just getting worse. |
