Or – “It Doesn’t Help That I Just Can’t Stand Negan…”
I have been taken to task recently on the social media sites in my assessment that both the Walking Dead TV series and this book have jumped different sharks in recent months, leaving me unhappy with the storytelling (which is different from being unhappy with what’s happening in the story, something this book has always excelled at.) Will this be the issue that changes my mind? Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
In the barely-concealed-hatred-filled words of Michonne, “He calls himself The Governor.” In this new one-shot special from the Walking Dead creative team, The Governor gets his own backstory. Will we get an in-depth look at this enigma of a man or will he remain the elusive tyrant we all love to hate? More after the jump!
Image Comics has announced that Walking Dead artist, Charlie Adlard, is providing a variant cover for David Schulner and Juan Jose Ryp’s Clone.
Or – “In The Aftermath…”
Last issue, Negan made his presence known, and the shocking events of last issue cemented him as a threat greater even than the roving mobs of murderous zombie monsters. One of the longest-running cast members is gone, and the repercussions are yet to be seen… Your Major Spoilers review awaits.
Or – “KIRKMAAAAN!!!”
We’ve officially reached the big anniversary issue of Walking Dead, marking 100 installations of the book that some people predicted wouldn’t make ten issues thanks to the glut of zombies back in ’03. As a full-fledgd multimedia phenomenon, The Walking Dead is one of the great success stories of the decade, and things have been building towards what the creative team has been touting as a shocking status-quo-rocking issue. Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
Press Release
Fans of THE WALKING DEAD got a sneak peek at the hardcover edition of THE WALKING DEAD Compendium, Volume One at Emerald City Comicon in March, and now they’ll get a second chance to purchase one of the coveted tomes at Comic-Con International in San Diego.
I wish I had the money to fund every Kickstarter project that came my way. The latest that has captured my interest is Duster by Micah Wright. The story is set during World War II in Texas, where a widow must protect her family from a plane load of escaped Nazis.
New arc and closing in on the big 100? Sounds like a good place to jump back into the world of The Walking Dead…
