There is a redress going on in modern popular culture with which I am fascinated. Rape tales, tales of torturing women, tales of violence against women have been told for years with graphic detail. Many of these tales have been saying (either explicitly or implicitly) that these brands of violence are wrong or even evil, but many of them still offer up the vision of this violence to illustrate the wrongs and evils.

Rape tales, tales of torturing women, tales of violence against women have been told for years with graphic detail. Many of these tales have been saying (either explicitly or implicitly) that these brands of violence are wrong or even evil, but many of them still offer up the vision of this violence to illustrate the wrongs and evils.

Now a redress has come, and we have Lisbeth Salander avenging herself on her tormentor, and The Walking Dead's Michonne brutalising her brutalizer. It's the latter I am concerned with here.

The extended sequence of Michonne's revenge is, perhaps, the most disturbing thing I've seen since I read the Habitrail sequence in American Psycho (though it is still a shade behind). It is an illustrated torture session with most of the tortures happening right there in front of us, happening "on camera." There is a genital mutilation, an anal rape with a spoon, power drilling, pliers ripping parts away from the Governor's body, an amputation and cauterization, a half-blinding. It is up there with the killings of Patrick Bateman for sheer brutality, but it was perpetrated by a woman wronged, not a man doing the wronging, and it would be awfully hard to suggest (and I am not) that the Governor didn't deserve what he got.

But even though the Governor deserved it, I am not sure that showing us images of Michonne's vengeance does anything to really redress the injustices of the past. I imagine that is the reason we accept such images today -- the hope or possibility of redress.

I am not angry at Kirkman for showing Michonne's vengeance. I don't even really know what I am trying to say. I think American Psycho is a masterpiece, and I appreciate Stieg Larsson's books, and what Michonne did is precisely what her character -- as offered to us -- would do. And I would defend any author's right to self-expression, even in cases of brutality. I guess it is just that what I got from Robert Kirkman here was totally unexpected. I expected ultra-violence on Zombies, former humans shambling about in a state of perma-rot, not ultra-violence on humans by humans. But then why should I be okay watching brutal fantasy creatures be brutalized and not brutal humans being brutalized? Where th fuck do we draw the line? Can any violence stop so long as any violence is accepted and acceptable? Or do we need violence like we need air?

I dunno what to say about the brutality. I am just rambling now, so it's time to stop. But I will read on, even though the series has taken a much more serious turn than I ever expected. How on earth will they incorporate this into the TV series? I'm guessing it will all be off screen -- or most of it will.(less)

If you're like me, one of your deeply-held beliefs is that the only problem with zombie movies is that they come to an end. With that in mind, Robert Kirkman has given us "The Walking Dead", a series which tells the ongoing story of an eclectic group of people trying to live in a world now ruled by the dead.

Kirkman's introduction says it best:

Just when you thought it couldn't get any more shocking or visceral, writer Robert Kirkman ups the ante on this series.

Again, as in the past few volumes, this series continues to be more than just your run-of-the-mill horror book. The zombies are still there, but they've almost become a backdrop as we see Kirkman study the human bonds between his characters and also how much more monstrous a human being can be than a member of the shambling undead.

However, all in all this volume was far too "Hostel" for my taste (and I never watched the movie for a very good reason! The trailer was already hard enough to bear).

I appreciate the drama, the gore, the anxiety, the total mind-fuck of Kirkman's world. But I have to admit, I wish these people would stop doing stupid things.

As one character points out, it's been almost a year since this epidemic trashed the world. As several characters have pointed out, they've witnessed enough death to feel detached from their fellow survivors. The question then becomes: when does that detachment lead to logical, organized action?

Rick and his friends were trapped in the town of Woodbury in the clutches of The Governor, and Rick got his hand chopped off (it is like "Empire"!). In Volume 6, The Governor recruits Michonne for gladiatorial games staged between Woodbury's tough guys and the "biters." The Governor explains that the contests are somewhat fixed: The zombies are fair game, but none of the breathing combatants is supposed to get hurt. However, days of torture at the hands of The Governor have rendered Michonne less than cooperative, so heads, alive and dead, are gonna roll. While Michonne chops up enemies, Rick makes friends in Woodbury's infirmary, where he's being treated after the "accident" that cost him his hand. His new allies are going to help Rick and his friends escape, but Michonne's not leaving until she gets some quality time with The Governor. Even if they can escape Woodbury, the surrounding woods are full of zombies, and even if they get thru the woods and back home to their families ... well, let's just say there are few happy endings for the characters in "The Walking Dead." One good thing about constant crises: They give Kirkman less opportunity to write dialog. I've been on a bit of a zombie binge lately, and before "This Sorrowful Life," I read Warren Ellis' lousy "Black Gas," a series so half-assed it was barely written. Chapters went by with five or six lines of dialog, tops (fewer if you don't count repeated eff-bombs). In contrast, Kirkman's characters seldom shut up. One guy delivers a rambling oration while he's bleeding out from a gaping hole gnawed in his throat. Rick convenes his ongoing debate society in the midst of zombie melee (that guy seriously needs to lose more appendages). I'll be interested to see how the more graphic elements of "The Walking Dead" get translated to TV when the series is adapted for AMC (and Volume 6 gets mighty graphic indeed, even beyond the standard zombie genre gut munching and head shots). It's already got plenty of the network-style soap opera crap that ruined "Lost" so quickly. It should be a huge hit. Me? As always, I'm just waitin around for somebody to get et. (less)

I’m starting to realize that Walking Dead is one of those series that boasts a large number of fans that are oblivious to or are willing to look past its flaws. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but it is what it is. The universal acclaim that these books get seems to be at odds with some of the problems it has, especially by this point in the series.

I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but it is what it is. The universal acclaim that these books get seems to be at odds with some of the problems it has, especially by this point in the series. This volume, simply put, isn’t put together very well, and isn’t much fun to read. Spoilers ahead.

The issues in this collection continue to chronicle the ordeals of Rick, Michonne, and Glenn at Woodbury, including their harrowing escape and return to the prison. The centerpiece of the volume is a long, graphic section of torture porn, as Michonne enacts her foreshadowed revenge on the Governor for raping and brutalizing her in the preceding days. They make it out of the city with the help of a few defectors, but find the prison overrun by zombies when they return. Fortunately, most of the people at the prison are safely holed up (waiting for Rick to get back before doing anything about it, I guess?), and they get their sanctuary secured and cleaned up again in short order. However, an incident with one of the Woodbury defectors stands as a stark reminder that they now have living, breathing potential enemies right on their doorstep.

I read this volume faster than I usually do, but not because I was glued to the action. I was waiting for something profound or even interesting to happen, and it never really did. The extended torture vignette couldn’t end fast enough; it added exactly nothing to the story, since it didn’t seem to affect Michonne’s character in any way other than Rick noticing the crazy mannerisms she’s had since she was introduced. Also, I guess it’s perfectly fine to illustrate rape and torture in graphic detail, rather than simply implying it like before, if the victim is a man who deserves it. It’s a little weird to complain about violence in a zombie comic, I admit, but the whole thing seemed gratuitous. Anyway, we’re introduced to a few new characters, and in the space of a few pages, one dies, one is immediately slotted into an archetypical role (the person with vague medical knowledge that must find the courage to become The Group's Doctor), and one is inexplicably revealed as a traitor and even more inexplicably murdered by Rick. Hmm.

What story there was made very little sense, and really only served as connecting the plot point from the last volume (the existence of another, grittier group of survivors) with whatever the heroes are going to do next. It’s not a bad collection, really, but I wouldn’t really classify it as good, either. It doesn’t really add anything, and could have done without a lot of the supporting details (like, for instance, the ridiculous gladiator fight scenario). The AMC series seems to be getting a lot of flack lately for aimless writing and confusing character decisions, but that’s seems to be the hallmark of this volume.

Honestly, I think I would have liked it better if I had read it as individual issues, with a cooldown period between each. There are a lot of powerful, visceral moments in the volume that leave a lasting impression if taken on their own, but they come off as weak and even silly when lumped together as a story arc. Now that we’re past the long introduction of the Woodbury group, though, I’m interested to see what happens next.

In short, this isn’t a terrible book, but it’s easily the weakest of the series thus far. (less)

How many happy moments can you expect when Volume Six of The Walking Dead series is titles: This Sorrowful Life? The trio of Rick, Michonne, and Glenn are still being held in the small, fortified section of the town of Woodbury by a man who calls himself Governor. Things are not going well.

You can’t unbreak an egg, and Robert Kirkman has stomped on the whole damn dozen. The level of disturbing imagery eclipses the previous volume: The Best Defense. The zombie makes a few appearances as well after being relegated to the background for a while.

Plainly put, very little that occurs in this arc of the story leaves you with any ‘warm fuzzies’. The Governor is twisted and sadistic. In short, a perfect villain. A few new supporting characters are dropped in , bt this is the episode that defines Michonne. I don’t do spoilers, but I will say that it is quite possible that her elevator doesn’t provide service to the top floor.

It’s been a while since I mentioned Cliff Rathburn and it is worth a line or two here to express just how fantastic he is a t rendering some very gruesome scenes. There are occasions where I have to struggle in discerning some of the female characters, but overall, his work adds a very visceral and cinematic quality. If I’m being completely honest, until Walking Dead the only graphic novels or comic books I’d read since the Sgt Rock days of my childhood was Sin City. This series has acted as a gateway for me, shedding light on such wonderful offerings as Marvel Zombies, Laurel K Hamilton’s Anita Blake conversion, and the Dark Elf (Drizzt) stories by R. A. Salvatore.

By the end of This Sorrowful Life there is a sense of impending doom hanging over the story. If you were following the story closely by this point (which I was) you wonder if the next volume will be the dramatic, If not tragic, finale. Since there are at least five more volumes (volume eleven was recently com piled and released) I’m not giving anything away.
This Sorrowful Life lives up to its title and cinches tight the emotional bonds between reader and character. If Kirkman has taught us anything, it’s that heartbreak has to be on the horizon. (less)

Sorrowful Life wraps up the lackluster Governor story arc in a gratuitously violent way.

Such violence was completely unnecessary and didn't add to the story in any meaningful way. We understand that people have become savages and lost their humanity in the presence of animals.

I chose this series as my first, because I’ve been watching The Walking Dead on AMC, and am a sucker for zombies and any kind of post-apocalyptic horror in general.

After finishing Book One (which encompasses Issues 1 – 12), I was left unimpressed, slightly annoyed, and pretty sure that I wasn’t going to read any further. There were some elements in Book One that seemed rather sexist – the women stay behind with the children and laundry, while the men make all the decisions. The one female character who dares to get a little uppity and question this system eventually meets an unfortunate demise. (This is a trend I’ve encountered in other post-apocalyptic fiction, as well – apparently the breakdown of society automatically brings about a return to traditional gender roles.)

I also found the writing in Book One pretty clunky. Boldface seemed to be used arbitrarily, without regard for where the natural emphasis would fall in a sentence. The dialogue was often written in the cheesiest, most obvious way possible. There’s only so much, “Son, I’m going to teach you what it means to be a man” I can take before my head starts meeting the wall repeatedly.

Yeah, I thought – I’m so done with this. I gave it a go. Not for me.

But then a strange thing happened. The more I thought about it, the more I found myself really, really wanting to know what happens next. So I started Book Two (the next twelve issues), and as soon as I’d devoured that, checked out trade paperback volumes 5 and 6 from the library.

And now I’m completely, 100% hooked.

As the story’s progressed, more strong female characters have been added to the mix – and while not entirely absent, the sexism that annoyed me so in Book One has largely abated. It seems the writing has improved, although it’s possible I may have simply become more forgiving as I’ve become more and more invested in the story. And the themes have become more sophisticated, as the characters become concerned less with simply surviving another day, and are now faced with the prospects of long-term survival. How do you rebuild your life in such a new world? What does a healthy, functioning post-zombie apocalypse society look like? What does unchecked power do to both the leader and his or her followers?

I can’t wait to find out.(less)
