Great action during the melee but it just seemed to be over too fast. This was supposed to be a herd but they plowed through them as easily as they did the 'not a herd' at the Prison way back when. And that's really all that happened in the issue. Sure we got Rick sermonizing to Carl at the end but even that felt like a speech I've heard numerous times from him before. All in all, there isn't anything new this ish. Art wise, Smashley's right when he said you can't really tell the characters apart because of the art. While I like the large cast, it makes me think that the whole point of the Walking Dead Who's Who is for Adlard to have a handy reference for future books. After last month's book, this one was a bit of a let down. Story - 6 Art - 5 Total - 5.5 |

Interesting issue. I thought the relatively small group had too easy a time in the thick of the zombie herd, and can't help but think there are a lot of smarter ways to safely pick off a herd of zombies one-by-one than that. Nonetheless the fight scene was deftly handled. The issue redeems itself for me during the speech at Carl's bedside. (Seriously, that stopped bleeding?!) The reason is that Kirkman has written a pivotal scene that can legitimately be read two entirely different ways and reviews of the issue have reflected this, taking one view or the other. Either Rick has had some sort of epiphany, or he is batshit crazy. Some people read the issue as Rick is now full of optimism and hope for the future minus the crazy. Other people read the same scene and know Rick has now crossed the street into Downtown Crazytown, no doubt about it. Without hearing the scene and the tell-tale clues the human voice gives away, it's impossible to say for sure. For the record, I read it as a sign of Rick's further deterioration--but then the ease with which the survivors handled that herd of roamers gave me a tiny doubt when I first read a review that interpreted it the opposite way. 8.75 |

That was partly what I meant when I said it was deftly handled. And yes, I understand they were filled with adrenaline. |

Good deal.... I don't know that the previous eighty issues were spoiled, maybe just the last four... |

If Ameobas doesn't send in his pick by the time I get home (approximately 6 PM), we're just moving on to the next person and be done with it. |

Hmm...but...

Regardless, he's been contacted. If he's not in by 6 PM EST, we'll go with SP (whose also been contacted). |
