One of the weaker collections ^ I actually just read this as well as 7 today. Have been reading them on my visits to the most awesome tattoo shop in LA, Kayden Creations. I thought the first two were sort of "getting going" but the series really hit it's stride in parts 3-5. The series is undeniably entertaining, but wholly unoriginal. There is honestly nothing new in this series, and a lot of times I can identify the exact source for the developments.
I can live with that, and I will say that this book finally gives some female characters decent characterization, but the Woodsboro Governor is just the most cliche character ever. And without any spoilers, the conclusion to book 7 is just retarded.
Continuation of the Clincher ^ Vol.5 was absolutely amazing and this volume does the same justice to it. We left off at such a climatic point, and it continues with no less suprises.
SPOILERS: When they return to the prison with new companions, it was totally jaw-dropping to see the whole scene overrun by zombies. Robert Kirman's knack for shockers continues to impress me. His introduction of Martinez was very well done, but somewhat predictable. This volume is constructed perfectly as we don't see anything going on at the prison till we get there and then we lightly sob for our characters. The two page illustation alone was enough for me to clench the book a little tighter.
Walking Dead is still walking strong. In fact it has picked up the pace a bit. We have a foreshadowing of events to come, and the author certainly has convinced me to keep reading. I suggest you all do the same.
Revenge Served Ice Cold ^ In this volume we stand witness as one of the most resilient characters in the story goes positively medieval on a truly deserving villain. As always, the characters are ever evolving, ever adapting, because it really is a matter of survival of the fittest. Not all adaptations are openly embraced however. Once more, we see our main character try to come to grips with some unsettling truths about himself and what he is 'becoming'.
Review for TPB of WD 6 ^ The Product was exactly as described. Brand New condition. Fast shipping w/ the necessary safety parameters that ensured the quality of the book. Highly Recommend!
enjoyable read ^ vol 6 of this series does a good job of continuing the story and leaving you wanting more yet again when it finishes up
