  1. ....and to anyone who has not read this book yet....what is wrong with you!

     

    I've only got 1 copy of each of the first 4 issues and they are solid 9.6/9.8 so I don't wanna risk it :sick:

     

     

     

    I don't think I can hold off til the trade either!

     

     

    You could always buy the digital copies to read.

     

     

     

    Reading comics on the interweb?

     

    Why the heck would I want to do that? (shrug)

  3. If this was the 2nd or 3rd storyarc I'm pretty sure people would be like "what the hell am I reading here!?!?!?!"

     

    There's someone who refers to himself as KING Ezekial. There are Knights on horses. There's a Tiger. There's a traitor. There's a big bad dude who the "Kingdom" wants to get rid of.

     

    Seems like one of those Disney Fantasy type of Pixar tales right now. This Negan (and now subsequently Ezekial) storyarc is absolutely killing me :(

  4. there is no place for me in this thread. i thought the issue was stupid to the point of self parody. a knight on horseback, a king w/ a tiger. i'm going to re-read the first 48 issues to cleanse the palate.

     

    I agree...I think this was the first issue I've EVER read where I was like that sucked. If people are speculating on Ezkiel all the power to them but man that seems like a stretch. If I never see him in another WD book, I'll be happy!!!

    TBP won't be happy with you :taptaptap:

    Yeah, the horses and tiger were a little..... odd? And the fact there is, yet another, community we're being introduced too.

     

    That's what I feel this title has come down to.

     

    Meet a community -> there's a baddie in there somewhere -> kill some zombies in the interim -> Rick plotting something -> Kill baddie. -> New community with an even worse baddie. -> Rinse. Repeat.

     

    I enjoyed the issue for what it was but I'm not getting nearly the same feeling as I did in the first 70-80 issues.

    Nice one. Think I can hazard a gues at filling in the blanks for:

     

    "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to ping pong my [bLANK] all over these [bLANK]!"

     

    Negan :cloud9:

     

     

    Negan is such a terrible character and a blatant rip off of the Governor.

     

    Disagree, I think the Governor is a poor mans Negan. Negan has way more layers and is far less one dimensional than the Governor was.

     

    Jim

     

     

    Really?

     

    I feel like we've seen this all before.

     

    This isn't new to me. And I completely disagree with the layers aspect. Governor was shocking (with Michonne, the TV heads was completely off kilter, his zombie daughter, etc). The fact that deep down, he couldnt put his daughter away, etc. THAT is layers to me.

     

    Negan is just.... a bully. One who effing curses in effing the weirdest eff effing sentence eff structure effer ever.

     

     

    I can't wait til this storyline is done. I've loved the Walking Dead since the start, and the first 80 or so issues was probably one of the best long runs I've ever read in comics but I feel like I've read this all before. I don't even know where they are going with his. I don't feel anxious to read the next issue. I don't care. Just move on from this governor wanna be hack that can't string a sentence together.

  7. Looks like #3 came out 1/30. 38 days is considered a delay now?

     

    Pretty sure the readership can handle the extra week or two.

     

     

    Sort of off topic but do you remember the delays with Battle Chasers?

     

    I think it was something like 18 months between issue 6 and 7! lol
