The Walking Dead #100
Jul. 11th, 2012 06:28 pmsherkahnSo... are we going to talk about it?
As the story arc comes to a conclusion, as Rick Grimes and crew come face-to-face with a very real and nasty threat.
Oh boy, was THIS painful to go through.
But for thoseof us who follow the book, we all know that it does NOT pull punches, there are no easy outs, and when bad things happen to good people, it's not in a cartoon way, but very very painful.
Fair warning, I've explicitly left out the gore and the blood, but if you DO pick up the book, you've been warned. It's is agony to read and you may need a few minutes not to jump into the book itself and seek berserker justice.
( Bring the pain. )

Michonne’s Origin Story
Mar. 24th, 2012 09:36 amjetblack927Okay, it’s been almost a week since the season finale of Walking Dead and that AWESOME introduction of “The Mysterious Sword wielding stranger who saved Andrea in the Forrest”.
A fan favorite in the comics, Michonne has been a bad-ass since Issue 19, and while there was a few things mentioned about her past before the outbreak, a full origin story hasn’t been revealed…until recently. Taken from the April issue of “Playboy” (of all things…), here’s a 6-page short story revealing how Michonne went from an attorney to zombie slicing warrior.

stubbleupdateInvincible #87 was out this week, and was pretty much a textbook Invincible issue, reliably good, with a last page reveal that hints at excitement and an unexpected direction in the next issue.
All well and good, until I got to Penvincipals, and this letter, which I've edited to focus only one one section.
Here's a chap who belongs on Our Valued Customers
( warning for misogyny and discussions of female sexuality in comics )
Now, I had more to say about this, but a) It's 0100 on Saturday morning and b) I worked 13 hours on Thursday and still haven't recovered.
My commentary will have to be cut down to just me saying that the letter writer is an ars and I had hoped that Kirkman would have offered more of a rebuttal to his points.

Anyone read 'Rise of the Governor'?
Jan. 4th, 2012 11:19 pmcyberghostface
For fans of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman (co-writing with Jay Bonansinga) just came out with a novel detailing the origins of the Governor. As he was one of my favorite characters in the series, I was really looking forward it to it. That being said, having finished it, I'm not sure what to think. Without spoiling anything, there are some twists that really end up changing the overall story, and I'm not sure if it works for the better. If you've read it, you probably know what I'm talking about. Definitely not what I expected at the very least.
That being said, the novel does do a great job at humanizing the Governor and making him a fairly tragic and sympathetic character. I'd probably give it a solid 'B'.
So has anyone else read it, and if so, what were your thoughts?
For legality, from The Walking Dead #29...
