Review: Oblivion Song #1

By Dustin Cabeal

By no means does Robert Kirkman need my praise. I’m not going to pat him on the back for still making comics and all that noise. He’s a writer I’ve drifted away from because his style has developed into a steady rhythm. It’s not bad, it's just not amazing either. It’s consistent, but you tend to know what you’re getting with your characters and just waiting for the twists to happen.

Review: The Walking Dead #165

By Robert Larson

This comes across feeling like an oddly lifeless (har har) issue of The Walking Dead, except for the very last panel, and I’m still not sold on whether or not that’s nothing more than a fake-out. I wouldn’t have thought that the fall of Alexandria would have so little going on, but as it turns out, most of this arc’s energy was spent in the first two issues. Now we’re just waiting for the Saviors to make their move, or whatever other twist might come from this arc. Warning: I will be discussing spoilers in this review, so consider yourself forewarned.

Kirkman Celebrates Image's 25th B-Day With $0.25 Issues

By Dustin Cabeal

Yesterday we were all excited about Oni's $1 issues and cheaper trades. Today, Kirkman's practically telling you to steal his comic. Just wait a week and go into your comic shop and as them for a left over copy, then it's free! Too bad none of the other Image peeps are celebrating this way... kind makes it look like Kirkman is the only one to care about the Publisher turning 25. I can't wait until they're 28, married, thinking about kids... maybe they'll get a dog first.

Review: Walking Dead #160

By Robert Larson

The war with the Whisperers becomes more serious in this issue. At first, it was a battle between the Whisperers and Rick’s army, and the people who were dying were soldiers. Their deaths could be expected to a certain extent. But now that both the Whisperers and Rick’s men have split up, the individual communities are being forced to man their own battlements against the enemy. Just how violent it will be is still unclear, but it’s going to be hard to undo this damage, especially since Rick is now facing a new internal challenge. Warning: I will be discussing spoilers here.

Review: The Walking Dead #159

By Robert Larson

This is an oddly lifeless issue of The Walking Dead (har har). The battle between the Whisperers and Rick’s people ends in a kind of stalemate, which makes most of the fighting filler for what comes next. Paradoxically, the most interesting moments occur off the battlefield, as there’s a hidden threat in the Kingdom that might derail some of Rick’s plans. But that can’t change the fact that this is a thoroughly middling issue, some filler on the way to something else. Warning: I will be discussing spoilers in this review.
