This may be a case where the filmed adaptation of material is influencing my opinion of something I read. In this case, that’s not a good thing.

I’ve been a big fan of The Walking Dead for several years now, but it’s always had its flaws like clunky dialogue and characters spouting off long speeches about what they are feeling rather than letting the story or the art do some of the heaving lifting. I’ve been willing to overlook that because I was impressed with the way that Kirkman’s on-going zom...more

This was a bit better than a 3 star so I've rounded up slightly to a 3.5.

Picking up where volume 14 left off, Rick sees a future for his gang and the community. Rick wants to make changes for the better, he starts to put plans into action much to the dislike of a few residents. Rick has changed so much, he once was this strong leader; a family man and now he's just annoying me at times.

Rick has a lot on his plate with Carl after his skull was blown out. I like his new found confidence but he's t...more

After the zombies almost overran the new compound where Rick and his people have been staying, he discovers a new attitude toward keeping his son Carl and himself safe. At the end of the last issue, as the whole group was fighting hand-to-hand with the zombies pouring in the walls, Rick realized that they could work together as a group and be more effective at protecting everyone including his son. Ironically, Carl is accidentally shot in the head during the battle. He loses an eye and goes into...more

When Robert Kirkman set out to write 'The Walking Dead', he said he wanted it to be like an ongoing TV show, where we would see characters come and go, in many different situations. In this, I think he has succeeded. I do think that the actual characterization is often quite thin, and that the characters are often guilty of simply telling us their feelings rather than this being represented in their actions, and so I have always felt a distance from the characters. I think that this distance als...more

This was just a so-so entry into the series. I still, and will probably always, love the series. So, no matter what is written I will pick up the newest copy and enjoy the novel. But once again, it felt like this was a filler entry. Where as last time it followed the normal script - feeling safe, bad stuff happens, fix the problem but casualties exist. This novel was more around character development and mutinous tides inside the camp instead of exterior threats. Rick seems to be shifting his th...more

حقا لا أصدق ما أراه بعينى من وصول الرسوم الكاريكاترية إلى هذا المستوى
كم هى رائعة بما تحتوى من تفاصيل مذهلة تشعرك وكأنك داخل المشهد
بالإضافة أنه يروق لى أسلوب الحوار بين الأشخاص بشدة

قصة ذلك العمل تدور حول انتشار أحد الأوبئة التى جعلت البشر أشبه بالزومبى من آكلى لحوم البشر ويستعرض محاولات بعض الناجين البقاء على ظهر الأرض فى ظل عدم وجود أدنى أمل فى استمرار الحياة بقيادة الشرطى ريك

بالاستمرار فى القراءة أشعر بروعة متابعة الأحداث ، فالقصة مشوقة حقا
لا عجب حين تكون الصورة الأصل مبهرة هكذا ، فتكون ال...more

I'm sorry, but at this point, I'm just done with this series.

Don't get me wrong, Kirkman has some interesting ideas about community and survival and self-preservation, but it's just not keeping me as engaged as it once was.

As I've mentioned before, it's his writing quirks that have really done it for me. The fact that his characters continue to talk AT one another rather than WITH one another, really bugs the crap out of me. It's all a bunch of mini-monologues, and it just gets annoying after th...more

Rick's character development based on his epiphany at the end of Vol. 14 continues in this volume. He begins working toward his ideal of a safe community that will work cooperavtively and survive over the long term. However, deep divisions remain between the original community residents and the newcomers. Nicholas, one of the village residents, attempts to organize an uprising against Rick and his group, and ends up attacking Glenn. Rick intervenes, but at the critical moment, he chooses to show...more

***Note - contains spoilers from Volume 14***

Volume 15 of "The Walking Dead," opens with the survivors doing some zombie disposal after the mass extermination in Volume 14, while Carl's life hangs in the balance. Rick has an epiphany; he had put the needs of his family ahead of the needs of the community as a whole, and we know how that worked out. He decides that he can better protect Carl by keeping the whole community safe. It makes sense, and it's a shame he didn't think of this a long time...more

This volume is basically cleaning up the mess from the action of the previous one and prepping for the action of the next one. Classic in-between chapter. What this volume really reminded me of is the infamous “Live together or die alone” speech by Jack in Lost. In fact, this volume sees Rick basically trying to turn into Jack and failing miserably. Long-time readers know I’ve never liked the guy, so personally I got a lot of schadenfreude out of seeing him be so pathetic in this volume.

That sai...more

The fifteenth volume of The Walking Dead includes issues 85-90, and slows the pace a little.

After the large herd of zombies ravaged through the closed-off community and Carl was shot, Rick has an epiphany. He realises that what they have here is worth saving. No more running, no more risking everyone, no more looking for a better place. This is their place now and he comes up with a plan to make everything safer. It starts with killing and burning the pesky zombies. But not everyone is happy wi...more

I had 15 volumes of 90 issues of Walking Dead to read in my laptop and as I was finishing volume 15 I was starting to get quite depressive like “OMG what am I gonna do when this is finished??? I cannot live without this anymoreeee”. Yes, it was -that dramatic.

This is by far the most interesting comic books I’ve ever read (well, I love Maus quite a whole lot too… guess they are even…) and it’s extremely exciting, especially if you have a huge passion for all the zombie conception thing.

Anyway…...more

I'm going to be totally honest - I read over 90 issues of The Walking Dead in a single weekend, and the end of the run has all sort of blurred together for me now, so I can't quite remember my thoughts on these particular five. I'm still totally willing to follow whether Kirkman leads though, even if I do now have to wait an interminable month between issues. (view spoiler)[The main thing I do remember is Andrea and Rick. Last volume, I wasn't sure whether it would win me over, but man has it ev...more
Ryan Mishap
After ninety issues I think more than just the characters are weary and out of ideas. Ooohhh, look, another head lopped off. Boring.

Okay, the real meat here has never been the undead but how the living deal with each other in times of crisis. The beautiful brutality of the series has always relied on the living's capacity for violence and cruelty but, more importantly, the remaining shards of goodness, empathy, compassion, and love left after wholeness has been shattered.

This new collection fail...more

I have not been keeping with this series, but was pleased to find this volume at the public library. The public library of East Windsor, by the way, has a large manga section, but very few graphic novels and other comic books. So I was especially pleased to find this volume.

The man on zombie violence, though present, was not omnipresent. The group has found a subdivision in which to settle, and they are sharing the area with settlers who already arrived. Rick has taken on a leadership role for b...more

After staring in slack-jawed wonder at the pages of Walking Dead 14, I was a little let down by the relative inactivity of Walking Dead 15. I will keep the faith, though, because when you read comics in their trade paperback form, even the strongest series sometimes release an installment that is spent gearing up for something bigger... You get a somewhat mediocre arc that doesn't stand well on its own, but (due to the quality of past installments) should lead up to something better. I removed a...more

Picking up where Book Seven's No Way Out storyline ended, We Find Ourselves takes the slow route, adding some great character development to some of the characters, most notably Rick himself. Nothing mindblowing happens, but I loved the way the seeds for a possible civil war within the group are planted in these six issues, and the final panel of the book was fantastic, and served as a much needed high note for the mounting suspense and horror we've been subjected to for awhile. I'm reading alot...more
Dave Riley
More melodramatic than the previous ones I've read. Powder keg stuff. Reading The Walking Dead is a study in intense stress and trauma. The series explores the human psyche trying to survive in a war zone. Similar , no doubt, to the brutal wars Uncle Sam imposes on people around the world. That's the analogy, for me -- the real world savagery : the zombies are the US military sent to destroy you -- us. Thats' the core treat. The Apocalypse is one of war.

And for many people that's their existen...more
Matt Hott
The whole Walking Dead Series is great. Watching a proud but humble officer (Rick) slowly become something else is shocking. To see so much taken away from one man to only have him continue to try and be the cop is something else.

In this volume, we finally see why Rick does what he does. The only negative in a book like this is the large cast of supporting characters. With so many characters it is difficult to keep them all straight. But the dynamic between Rick and his closest "friends" Glenn...more

I read the majority of this series in a very short time so I was very involved in the story. This one wasn't as entertaining though. I feel like I'm not connected to the characters anymore and this was pretty boring. I still plan on continuing the series, but there needs to be something that jumps out at me again to draw me back in. Staying in Alexandria indefinitely doesn't seem like it will provide for more interesting story-arcs but hopefully Kirkman will prove me wrong.

I did enjoy (view spoi...more

The series The Walking Dead is about a man named Rick who gets shot, falls into a coma and awakes to a zombie apocalypse. In this volume Rick gets a bunch of guns from Glenn after asking him to break into the armory and steal some. Rick then tries to reform the community as he sees fit and is discovered when he pulls a gun on a guy who tries to fight him. The reason that Rick was intervining was because he was beating his wife and kid. The man later tries t kill Rick so Rick shoots him. What wil...more

I've always loved in the Swiss Family Robinson when they come up with all these ingenious ways to build houses or boats and create a make shift civilization again. This part of the Walking Dead story appealed to me for that reason. We finally get someone saying "let's figure out how to make a long term plan for a place to live." It starts with infrastructure planning...mazes to deter zombies, ditches, better walls, etc. And then you also get the usual Walking Dead stuff...long-winded dialogue, p...more

As much as I like this series I feel that the end is near for me. I understand the author intends to continue the series until his death (if I heard that rumor correctly) and I think that is totally awesome and goes with his whole idea of seeing how people survive after something so catastrophic. However, unless they learn to take it easy and start farming (which wouldn't make for a very exciting graphic novel) there will just be volume after volume of more bad stuff happening. I may read a few...more
Michael (Tattoogirl Reads)
This one was pretty damn good but not very action packed. Robert Kirkman and his illustrating buddies pace this comic very well (for me). I have heard some dissatisfaction from others about the lack of action in some of the graphic novels. I don’t know how a reader who cares about all of these characters could really want anymore action than you already get. It’s a bit much. You need to see how the characters deal with all the action and death. Like I’ve said before, this comic isn’t about zombi...more
Melissa
I guess there was quite a bit to miss between books 14 and 16, including a coma & a poorly thought-out rebellion that got sort of squished. I would find it hard to rebel if I was looking down the barrel of Andrea's gun, too. While I could've done without the exposed tongue in the last panel, on the whole, I am really starting to like the emphasis on learning how to live with the zombies rather than be afraid of them. It took me a while, but this plot turn has grown on me. As long as there ar...more

Read them all to date. By this point the series has gotten somewhat repetitive. I will avoid details for fear of spoilers.

Still reading them, but no longer excited for the next release.

Must say that the fact that this has been a serious comic book, that led to a serious, well-made TV show has been incredible. Sure there will be poorly done imitations, but hopefully the success will pave the way for more quality fiction in this genre. Similar to the way comic book movies have gone from cheap dro...more
David Gallagher
I don't know why, but the more this series progresses, the more disappointing I find it. There is no liveliness (no pun intended) in it anymore, all the characters I've loved are either dead, or walking dead, and the "community" is a pretty boring place for Kirkman to have gotten stuck for so long. A few holy shit! moments exist in the 15th volume with some rare massive zombie attacks, but I find myself caring less and less. I still read the series feverishly of course, and hope that the best is...more
John
Now finished every issue. I can't help but feel like Kirkman and I want different things out of this story. Kirkman is mostly interested in people resigning themselves to daily horror while still maintaining a semblance of hope. I am dying to get some, hell any, sort of glimpse into what caused the dead to walk and how the rest of the world is responding/trying to fix it rather than just survive it. I don't know if I'm the only one like this, but I have to think no since the end of season me of...more
