Remember A Bug's Life?
In that movie, industrious ants worked hard to compile an offering for the mooching grasshoppers. Then one day a brave ant recruited a team of warriors (aka circus performers) to help kick the grasshopper's butts.

Now - substitute innocent, zombie-apocalypse survivors for the ants, big, ugly guys with guns for the grasshoppers, and Rick's little group for the warrior bugs - and you've pretty much summed up this book. (The undead are reduced to, oh...let's say - gnats, or som...more

I haven't been patiently consuming this series episode by episode, volume by volume over the course of years. I gobbled down all 96 issues essentially back-to-back thanks to the Compendiums (which weigh a ton each and are a bitch to maneuver let me tell you).

This volume -- A Larger World -- is where Compendium 2 leaves off, a bit of a cliff-hanger you might say. I decided to re-read it in preparation of getting to Vol. 17: Something to Fear. I'm all caught up now, and forced to get my dose of Walking Dead shenanigans doled out piecemeal like the rest of you suckers. But maybe that's a good thing, because too much of this world at any one time can really mess with your head.

I get the feeling Kirkman is setting us up to really put the hurt on this time. Hasn't he already? Hells yeah, but something tells me he's just getting started and that makes me both weary and wary. Everything in this issue is glossy with optimism:

(view spoiler)

BUT... cause there's always a but right? There's a new baddy in the neighborhood -- Negan. After what we've been through with the Governor, the idea of upping the ante some more makes me very uneasy. Rick can talk all he wants about building a new life with meaning and getting back to raising their children, but I can't imagine he's going to get his people to the promised land any time soon, if at all. I've called this story bleak and nihilistic before and I still stand by that. Kirkman wants to show us the very worst of humanity it seems, and I don't think he's finished doing that yet. And that makes me very afraid. Very afraid indeed. (less)

As soon as I open the first page, BOOM! Zombie kills! The killing didn't last long though, slight disappointment in that. Glen and the scout pack are on a food run,winter is coming and food is low. Maggie has become so insecure and scared that for the first time she's out on on run with Glenn to try and understood the part he plays within the group. It's odd seeing Maggie like this, scared, insecure and overly protective of Glenn. I like her character arc more in the tv adaption.

Very early on we're introduced to a new character, Jesus. Jesus claims he's from a community of two hundred people and he wants to build an alliance to trade between the group. Rick and a selected few decide to hear Jesus out and they go visit his group.Rick quickly gets involved in a situation which leads him to make a deal with Jesus and this new group. Rick likes what he sees within this new group, I'm just not sure it's for the best.

I'm a little disappointed that the story has slowed down, there wasn't any zombie interaction after the first scout run. The zombie threat doesn't feel like it used to, back in those first volumes. Rick and the rest of his crew still kill the zombies, but the kills are sporadic, without fear and pressure.

I'm also a little let down by some of the images. The last volumes some of the characters have mingled together, in particular Glenn, he has looked so similar to others and I've had to look again to see who he was.

The pacing has slowed down, the zombie threat feels less pressured, there isn't that sense of looming fear in the background.. BUT the writing is so good. It's addictive. I read a whole volume in just over half an hour. Despite the story going flat at times, I'm always interested in the characters and I look forward to what they'll do next.

I feel like there's a lot of build up or a slow burn happening. I just hope there's something worth while at the end. (less)

New characters are introduced; one in particular named Jesus who I think has to be the lamest metaphor that has ever been written. Kirkman’s writing still hurts my brain and for any fans of the show the weakness is Kirkman’s writing becomes even clearer (the show is very well written, fantastic dialogue, believable characters).

Sometimes, (though I am part of the problem and not the solution) I really detest that comics are written for the trade paperback now and not for individual issues. Though I read these as trades, I can't begin to think how painfully boring this one would have been as individual issues.

- On a positive note, it is that very thing that I do like about the series - that it doesn't ignore the slow moments and that it often does focus on the "reality" of the situation. That it does focus more on the human drama involved. How the survivors would react on a day to day basis.

- I do feel, though, that the human drama could also be written better. That is not necessarily always the case with this volume. It is well written. Even interesting. And yet, at the same time, it still moves very very slowly.

- This volume also manages to take away the fear of the undead. Which, I believe is intentional. Maybe?

- I still feel that Kirkman has no idea how to write a believable female character. Really. This drives me crazy and is one of my biggest pet peeves with this series.

- Slow volumes like this leave one time to think. I believe this is the first time (and I may be completely wrong - I didn't look back into it...) that the series actually out and out mentions how long real-time (versus comic book time) it has been since the plague. So, it has been over two years. If the undead in this story (as has been alluded to) are creatures with no blood circulation and no oxygen intake... How have they not rotted away to bone within two years? I'm not someone that needs everything explained entirely and I like the initial idea of taking the zombie story beyond the the 2 hour initial survival movie storyline, but we are reaching a point in the storyline where the undead are becoming less and less believable (perhaps why sort of almost writing them out of the story in this volume could be intentional).

I don't know if I will read the next volume. I suspect it will be another action-filled volume to fit in with the see-saw effect this series has carried, but I don't really expect any surprises anymore. And I'm just not sure that I care about any of the characters anymore... Of course, if they aren't Rick, they aren't given more than a page or two to distinguish themselves anyway...(less)

Kirkman really shakes the world for his characters in this collection, and it's great. For fifteen volumes, readers have followed this band of misfits as they've struggled to form a functional community, bouncing from tragic failure to tragic failure, and they're finally gaining some stability in their gated subdivision. So of course, Kirkman can't let that last - a mysterious stranger shows up to offer Rick's people an invitation to join a free trade zone with other healthy communities (WHAT? I...more

I, like many others, have been waiting excitedly for the latest trade paperback volume of The Walking Dead. Well now it's here! When I first saw the cover art my first thought was that it's not as striking as some of the others have been, pretty dull really for a comic, but you can see the significance in depicting the community and by the 16th issue you can pretty much conclude that people aren't picking it up for the cover art, but because they're already well established with the series (and we shalt not mention the TV show).

I always wait for the trade paperback to be released rather than reading them issue by issue so it was quite a while ago that I read volume 15. Because of this I was a bit confused when I began reading but I quickly picked up the storyline again and was soon absorbed in the post-apocalyptic world of Rick Grimes.

Now if you were expecting a zombie killing fest in the one you will be disappointed. It's primarly a character and storyline development issue so the pace is anything but fast, but we're introduced to a whole range of new characters, the main one of which is named Jesus and is rapidly becoming a favourite of mine. The majority of the story revolves around the arrival of Jesus (with some butt kicking by Michonne thrown in) and how he claims to be part of a large community who wants to set up a trade system with Grimes and his gang. The ending, without giving anything away, definitely sets the scene for a very action-packed next issue which I'm quite excited about!

I loved the character development in this one, especially that we got a glimpse at how Sophia and Carl were coping with the whole thing and I can't wait to see how Rick and Angie pan out even though there are a lot of confused feelings there (mainly on Rick's part).

Pretty much the only fault I have with this volume is the lack of those lovely zombies, or Walkers, or whatever. They're definitely there and they definitely get owned but there just isn't enough of them, and they're aren't really involved in the plot much. Not good enough to satisfy a fan, even one who usually holds the importance of the storyline above all else, so unfortunately one star lost for that.

I'll definitely be rushing to read the next installment when it's released so a nice 4 star rating overall for this volume.

In Short

The art is fantastic as usual and the plot very good, with a nice set up for the next issue.
A lack of zombies which is disappointing, but lots of character development and a nice addition to the series.
4 stars.

The Walking Dead is one of the best comics that has ever come out. A zombie apocolypse is the perfect setting for both action and drama. This volume represents another end in the direction of the series. Rick and his survivors have secured their town, and now are looking to establish trade with other towns. The next portion of this title will follow Rick's mission statement that he reveals on the last page of the volume "we can finally stop surviving and start living."

In addition, from a character perspective, it's good to see Rick get his hope back. Rick is the leader of the group because despite doing whatever it takes to protect his people, he'll always do what's right as long as it doesn't endanger his group. He got really dark in the last few volumes, losing a lot of that and making us wonder if he's gone too far away from his roots. Kirkman plays with that in this volume as well, when Jesus offers to introduce Rick to his town, Rick toys with the idea of taking all of their supplies and leaving them to die. But Rick doesn't, when he gets to the town he's not only inspired by it, he offers to protect it. It's good to see Rick fall back into that mindset. If only because it's one of the main reasons I read the title. Surviving a zombie apocoloypse makes for a good movie, or single comic. Trying to make the world a better place, or trying to keep your humanity within the madness is something that makes for a good series.

I've never really taken particular notice of any religious allegory in the Walking Dead before, although I'm sure it's there in the background. This volume puts that front and center. The man who comes to Rick's town offering him trade is named Jesus. Their town is called the Hilltop. It's the promise of a future that is giving Rick hope, but I wonder if Kirkman is establishing a base for Rick becoming a man of faith.

Anyway, The Walking Dead is great and Vol 16 is no less amazing. In short its good to see some light brought back to this title, which has been pretty dark the last few volumes.(less)

This was one of the more boring, but at the same time one of the most important entries in the series so far. Yes, like Vol. 15, this is all pretty much character development -- not a whole lot happens. But as the title says, what Kirkman does in this arc is broaden the world our survivors live in. We're coming up on issue 100, and this opens up the world drastically, showing us that Rick & company aren't the only large groups of survivors out there. There's other settlements close by, who w...more

Carl got shot in the head in book 14, so he is still healing from it (he lost his right eye), but when it happened it was at the end of the book and I was all like, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE FUGGGGGGGGGG!! Then had to wait for book 15 to find out if he lived or died, b/c you know in TWD all bets are off. No one is safe, not even the "main characters". Andrea and Rick are developing a relationship, which I like, Andrea is one of my fave characters in the book. She's a badass rock star. Michonne is still alive and kicking ass,love her. Glen is still alive, so happy about that. He and Maggie are still together and raising Sophia, yeah she's still alive in the book even though she isn't on the show. The gang has taken control of a neighbourhood and are running it well, but supplies are low and they are having a hard time finding food from the search parties that have been sending out. Enter mysterious new character. He kicks everyone's ass until Rick gets there then he takes the dude down and ties him up and keeps locked up until he can figure out if he's legit or not. Finally, thanks to Carl, Rick eases up and trusts him, for the most part. Jesus ends up being way cool and nice. He takes Rick, Andrea, Michonne, (Carl cause he hid in the van), and a couple of others to this new neighbourhood, Hilltop. Turns out he is part of a group of hundreds that have built their own little city with farming and what not and have started trade routes with other neighbourhoods of survivors, yes, OTHER WHOLE NEIGHBOURHOODS OF SURVIVORS. CRAZY! It's all tense though b/c you don't know if this new guy, nicknamed Jesus, is on the up and up, even after he proves himself. Then they get to the neighbourhood and again you just don't know if it's going to be like the "Governor's" neighbourhood or if they are going to be cool. Turns out they are cool, but a little off. The problem, Rick's group soon finds out, is that there is a nasty group of fuggers that are running protection rackets over all the neighbourhoods. So Rick decides that his group will take down the evil fuggers in trade for food from the Hilltop group. And that's pretty much how it ends. Rick's group is starting to become more and more dangerous and I have to wonder if they are eventually going to become one of these evil groups.
This series has not lost any steam, at all. Still all kinds of zawesome and zool! READ THIS SERIES DAMN IT!! WTYZM!!(less)
