A New Beginning is really shaping up to be a great arc for new readers to jump into the world of the Walking Dead, and I can't wait to see how else the world has changed. Read Full Review

Robert Kirkman is already moving the series into its next huge storyline. It may not end up being as bloody as All Out War but it might just be more important because of what's already happened. It's refreshing because we aren't going through a ton of buildup. Read Full Review

Finally,the story moves into gear… Unfortunately, it seems headed to a very familiar destination. Read Full Review

Honestly, I'm just happy to see this book going somewhere and building to something exciting. Read Full Review

Walking Dead is a great, great comic book. Some issues are sacrificed to build up to some big payoff down the road. This issue feels like this is the small step before the big one. It's a good read but not a whole lot happens in it. An average Walking Dead comic book is still among the very best reads you can find. Definitely pick this up. Read Full Review

"Even now, they still find new ways to dispose of the dead." Huh? I guess I missed something. I saw no new disposal method occur, either literally or metaphorically. That aside, still an enjoyable issue. I liked the war of words between Negan and Rick, and also seeing Rick's violent overreaction towards an underling. His character is evolving, and not always in ways that are admirable. The discovery of Negan by the new group was fairly predictable, even a couple issues ago. And unless Kirkman completely subverts expectations (as he's known to do from time to time) it's also somewhat predictable that they will help Negan escape. I guess I'm okay with that, but I'll have more to say about it when and if the prediction comes true.

Same Meh comic, same meh writer. still nice stuff from Adlard & Rathburn, but less then perfect.
