Why I Bought It
I've been with the comic since issue #7, why turn back at any point between then and now?
What I Liked
This issue hit all the notes it could have. It had tension, it had suspense, and it had black and white horror. We got a character death, and a new threat. These are things I expect and enjoy from a Walking Dead comic.
And my goodness, the art. Adlard has made this comic his own. I enjoyed the first six issues, but ever since then its been a distant memory. Actually if you think about it, my intro to Walking Dead has been with Adlard. tony Moore's art from the first six issues just look weird from my vantage point with what I've gotten to know.
I think the covers are what really made the book shine. My retailer had all the covers in one package for $40, but I didn't go for them. I got the standard cover as well as the wrap around cover featuring all the past dead characters. I normally don't like buying multiple copies of a comic, but this was money well spent.
What I Didn't Like
It absolutely sucked that our villain of the issue, Nagan, gave the exact reasons for not killing each character. Honestly, I wanted Rick to die. I thought the comic could easily carry on without him. All the other characters have a backing now and would carry the book for whatever lengths it needed to go. Now I just think that Rick will be there until the bitter end. Glenn going sorta seemed like a safe bet. There wasn't really much his character could do now that he was trying to settle down and play things safe since he has Maggie.
Nagan. Reminds me WAY too much of the Governor. Seriously, I just saw him and his attitude and that's all I can see. So, for the foreseeable future we will have The Governor, Round 2. And that just sucks. There is going to have to be a lot that Kirkman does in order to make me see different, but I am willing to give him the chance to do it.
The one page spread of the inside of Glenn's head. Nicely done. It makes me thankful this comic is only in black and white.
Quotable
"Please. Please don't." - Glenn.
