"FINAL FIGHT"
Jesus is confronted on the road...
THE WALKING DEAD #173 is a thrilling issue. We're reminded how strong characters like Jesus are. Robert Kirkman continues to spin a strong plot web, and Charlie Adlard and Stefano Gaudiano's artwork is as stunning as ever. Read Full Review
The Walking Dead is in a state of flux right now, which is proving to be both good and bad. On the downside, the series has reverted so directly back to its post-"All Out War" status quo that the book is developing a redundant, cyclical quality. But despite that, the brewing tension in Michonne's storyline is enough to give the series that dangerous, unpredictable quality that has served it so well in the past. Read Full Review
The issue is a decent one and helps wraps some things up but it does so in a way that feels a little rushed and forced in. It's almost like a “oh crap I need to end this story before we get to the next.” Things easily could have been left open for fans to ponder and never answered, and things would have been satisfying in their own way. With this route a chapter closes and maybe a new one opens through it. It's an epilogue that's unexpected and doesn't feel necessary. Read Full Review
Solid finish up for the next arc. Look forward to getting to 175, and this New World Order cover had me intrigued? Anyway always a great read!
"The Walking Dead" keeps moving with a pretty exciting issue. I've missed the last couple, so this is the first time I've seen the new cool-chick character, who more than anything reminds me of Poochie from "The Simpsons." So, yeah.
Beta deserved better
