 Robert Kirkman rules! November 18, 2009
H. Seaton (Ventura, CA, USA)
Robert Kirkman continues to impress with his Walking Dead series. I read them as soon as I get them, and they always leave me hungry for more.
 great story continues.... November 17, 2009

ROBERT KIRKMAN can really write and has en excellent ear for truthful dialog . i'd like to read more graphic novels than i do but it can get kinda costly . from what i've read and seen though , this is by far my favorite book out there . i really like the illustrating too . the effort put into these characters and their triumphs and failings , how they articulate and process what's happening around them to themselves and to one another is very (non graphic) novel worthy in my opinion . i can't wait for the next installment in the brutal saga (each six months). the store i currently get these books from has them ALL in stock . that might suggest what an outstanding job these folks are doing . perhaps you could turn me on , because i can't think of another book half as compelling or well done as this one . that there is no color does not matter at all . great characters . great situations . great storytelling . THANKS ROB and friends .

Rick has come a long way, and the tribulations he's found along the way go well beyond what one man can endure. The talks on the telephone to the voices he can't let go of, the fatherly drive to protect going above and beyond the place where it once was, and the memories - all of the weights that came from the stand at the jail still haven't left his mind. And now he and the new group, partly leftover from the massacre and partly pieced together from the men with that still breathe that precious word called "hope," tie to venture on. along the way they find that is a mirror of himself in a worse way, a need for new weapons and the need for other assortments, and the question of what happens when a person tries to ride a tide. Nothing gets easier, that's for sure.
In the 10th installment of the Walking Dead series, we still have all the things that I feared might fall off the map. We still have the dead and the places they own, we still have the group and the connectivity they have, and we still have no idea who might become the next victim of the necropolis popping up all around. If I had to pick one thing that I love about this series, I would have to say that the writing lends itself to an addictive type of telling. Instead of loose pieces fluttering here and there, this reader still finds himself caught in the beautiful crossfire of a world gone mad. I have no idea where the next bite or bullet might come from, and I have no idea where they might end up lodged. I learned that lesson as the jail fell apart, and I learned it a few more times as I've seen Rick become more and more like the things he still runs from..That, along with the art, keeps me coming back. This series has really been a bargain considering how well it weaves its tale.
For people who have not checked out The Walking Dead, you have really missed out on something. There are survivors in a world of the undead simply trying to live, and the living isn't that easy to do. The storyline is something that might really happen if you saw something like this, too, with main people weaving their way into your mind and then seeing them abruptly pass. The artwork should be praised, too, because it has a feel that captures the way a dying world must be. It is cold, unforgiving, and yet you can see the emotion in the characters as well. One word of advise - if you want this series, don't skip around. It comes highly recommended, going into territories that other books like Crossed (another excellent series) are beginning to touch on. In this type of story, it is new.
Continues to impress. October 14, 2009

Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead: What We Become (Image Comics, 2009)
Kirkman's small (and seemingly ever-changing) band of survivors continue on their way to Washington in this tenth installment of the popular comic, now being adapted into a television series. Rick and Abraham, as expected, find themselves at odds, but core members of the group are having the stress get to them as well. The central event of the volume comes when Rick decides to head back to his old hometown and raid the police station where he used to work with Cal and Abraham. Not as action-packed as some of the other volumes in the series, but just as well-written and with just as much an air of menace. A very good volume. ****
