Este es LEJOS el mejor volumen que he leído hasta ahora. Me gusto cómo estructuraron, cómo dieron los giros, cómo dibujaron esos giros -maestros- pero sobre todo, me encantó que por fin los personajes tomaron el control de una situación y la ejecutaron como uno hubiera querido.
Por fin hay crecimiento, aprendizaje, ya no son lamentables. Al contrario, dan más ganas de leer en la medida en que, como ahora por fin, los personajes toman el control, en la medida de lo posible, de lo que les sucede.

this series is NOT the TV show, and vice-verse the characters and some plots are the same but the stories take different timelines and spaces. this is a grand read on its own, and Volume 11 will give you nightmares, but in a good way. *caution* NOT for children, and NOT for after meal reading.

IN WHICH our ragtag group of survivors stops talking about their feelings and encounters hurdles on their journey to a safe haven.
This volume is voiddark. It's brutal. We're well into The Road territory.
One positive thing is that Andrea really shines here. She's incredible. I've been watching through the television series on Netflix, and there is no comparison between that character and this one.

After two less interesting storylines that don't seem to be doing anything more than moving on with the same trouble and getting over past events, this volume has finally put the series back on track.
The twists in this volume are not only unexpected and dark, they make you think about the human condition - once again.

So, I started this right before work and I barely made it in on time. I couldn't start my day without knowing what was going to happen- and wow, what a story! This may be my favorite volume so far- it was so dark and twisted, but what really got me was the humanity. This volume barely had any zombies in it, and it was so terrifying because the horrors came from humans. I am a huge fan of Cormac McCarthy and his novels, and I found this very similar to his style. I can't wait until work is over a...more
Wooweee. The Walking Dead, Volume 11: Fear the Hunters is brutal. From beginning to end, it is filled with the evil horrors people are capable of. What makes this terrifying is that these people were perfectly normal not long ago, but their critical situation makes them do unfathomable acts to survive.
The question I had regarding the twins in The Walking Dead, Vol. 10: What We Become is woefully answered. This volume is so disturbing it will leave you with a heavy heart. When the innocence is ro...more

The Walking Dead: Vol. 11, Fear the Hunters by Robert Kirkman, Charles Adlard, Cliff Rathman, and Russ Wootton is another excellent action-packed addition to this Image Comics graphic-novel post-apocalyptic series. It is the best series about human beings struggling to survive in a world overrun by zombies. Kirkman, the creator and writer, produces well-crafted and gripping story lines that often shock and repulse the reader, but won’t let the reader abandon the story. Likewise the remarkable bl...more

In this issue of the Walking Dead graphic novel series, A group of survivors of the zombie apocalypse have been slowly becoming smaller. First the attack on their prison, leaving them scared and lost with only a few survivors left. Their leader Rick Grimms must pull together his group and his sanity to survive this horrible world.

Fear the Hunters wasn't my favourite volume of The Walking Dead, but the fact I knew about the major moments beforehand really served to lessen their impact. I must try harder to keep away from Wikipedia, but it's to Kirkman's credit that I'm so damn anxious about the survivors that I need to check up on what's ahead for them. I think this volume's biggest problem for me was plausibility and emotional resonance. And I know, I know it's set in the zombie apocalypse so griping about realism is sil...more
Fear the Hunters us the eleventh volume by the amazing trio of Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, and Cliff Rathburn. After episode ten, some of you may have been—like me—a bit frustrated. It’s not that there needs to be rampant violence for the volume to be good, this series has proven that. Have no fear; Kirkman is back at full strength as a storyteller.
There is tension and inexplicable horror throughout. I only wish we have a bit more backstory on one particular avenue he chose to take us on. I...more

Another volume of comics excellence from writer Robert Kirkman...
Also another volume where almost no zombies come into play... But that's okay! That's not a bad thing!
I think, in this series, it's story arcs such as these that show the true strength of the book. This book has examined more about human nature than any comic book, graphic novel, or prose book in my recent memory.

I’ve been collecting the current single issues of The Walking Dead ever since I jumped aboard and caught up with this brilliant series this time last year. However, for some bizarre reason unknown to me, my comics shop didn’t pull the latest issues for a handful of months last summer. And as they were unable to track down the missing issues – numbers 63 through 65, if I recall correctly – I had to wait until now, when they were collected in this volume (released just last week) – to fill in the...more
I couldn't wait for the hardcover compilation (The Walking Dead #6) to arrive at the library, so I made do with the paperback that picks up where I left off.
The group is on the move, but when one of the twins kills his brother without remorse, the group is stuck wondering how to remedy the situation. One solution is to kill the remaining twin, but many in the group are opposed to child murder. There is one member of the group who takes matters into his own hands.

The more I read The Walking Dead, the more I think about the pieces of humanity the characters give up to survive. Some of the things that happen in Fear the Hunters definitely bring this to the forefront for me. Rick, and moreso Dale, often refer to the way the world has changed them for the worse. It makes sense that they do what needs to be done but I know it doesn't make it any easier for (some of) the characters and their consciences.

Good story, wish I could ever get to say "believable characters". I like where the story is going - the group is on the move, exposed, less certainty about where they get their food or shelter. They are facing new situations about who to trust, and new threats from weird people.
All that is good generic plot fodder, and Kirkman takes us down a path with the "hunters" that he's never hinted at before. It was intriguing when we didn't have a clear picture of what the hunters wanted and why (like t...more

"The Walking Dead" was a herald of the zombie genre in the comic industry, and no book since then has done the genre justice. Superficially, the series seems clichéd and unoriginal. Much like any other story involving the undead, Kirkman's book involves humans confronted with the grisly horror of a world now overrun with the living dead. Unlike most of its predecessors, and its contemporaries, the series focuses on much more than the simple horror of outrunning an implacable enemy. The thing tha...more
In the first few pages of "Fear the Hunters," the survivors take pleasure in one of life's little things: the discovery of a couple of old mattresses. The momentary happiness doesn't last long as later that night, one character snaps. Dealing with zombies has been easy, since they can be killed without remorse. But what do you do when the threat comes from within? Especially when the perpetrator is not evil but has simply crumbled under the strain of the apocalypse.

The eleventh volume of The Walking Dead includes issues 61-66 and leads the gang to more danger.
They're still moving, camping out where they can, but when Father Gabriel approaches them, they take shelter in his church. However, there's someone stalking them in the shadows. And I'm not talking about the zombies. Sure, the dead creatures are still a threat--always a threat--but it's once again humans who want a piece of them. I'm only going to say one word: cannibals. Yuck!

One of the twin boys killed the other one. It actually was a surprise considering there was only one vague allusion to it in the previous book. Everyone gets the heebie-jeebies by it and decides that the disturbed child should be killed. No one wants to do it. Carl sneaks out and does it. The panel for this part was well-illustrated, as Carl has some dark shadows on him as he comes into the van saying only "No" after the kid asks him if he's scared of him.

With the continued absence of any real stability in the group, this volume hits a bit of a tangent in that we don't really see many zombies here. The underlying threat of the herd is referred to and is something that you are aware of when reading the book, but for the most part zombies don't really play much a role in this installment.
Instead a new threat emerges in the form of the Hunters, which are humans with an interesting social philosophy (to say the least). Personally I found that the in...more

Not the best entry in this series, as our group of travelers is hunted by a bunch of canabalistic survivors even as internal tensions threaten to break them apart.
It is a more cerebral read, as the group descends into different types of madness. Instead of "us versus the zombies", the conflict switches to "us versus people" and the inhumane, extreme measures they take to ensure their survival. The cost becomes too high too quickly - are they losing their humanity and becoming monsters, or is it...more

This volume has it moments but Kirkman's "No space to breathe" storytelling style is wearing pretty thin with me. He seems to kill off most characters indiscriminately but he keeps Rick in the loop but at no point do you really believe his developments, he's just turned him into a very boring killer. Character's like Glenn, Maggie, Andrea and Dale are still present but Kirkman gives them no moments with normality, he just develops them like as if they were in a Kitchen sink drama. He completely...more
This volume is my favourite in a while! I'd grown almost tired of the story in the last few volumes - since volume 8 the story has been moving along pretty slowly, but now that the TV series is back I decided to pick up where I'd left off and this one was was back on par with the rest! I loved seeing Carl take charge when none of the adults were willing to do what had to be done (I worry that that kid's going to be severely messed up when he's older, but for now at least, it's good to see him fo...more
I liked this one much more than I have any of the other volumes since that ridiculous crazy-town saga that started around volume 5 or so--this one seemed to deal much more with the psychological effects of living the way these folks have been living, and that's something I find infinitely more interesting than general zombie mayhem and insanity. Rick has, yet again, become a sympathetic character for me, as he actually stops to think about the state of his soul, so to speak, and Carl? Oh my, Car...more
And we're still (theoretically) winding our way to DC, with a few pit stops...
And in this grouping of the graphic novels there is some truly fucked up shit going down. Some of it makes sense, some of it doesn't. But it's all still 7 kinds of crazy. I'm kinda ready for them to be moving on, though. Adding and subtracting people is fine, but it gets tiring in every volume. I would also like to believe that in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse there could be a few more people that aren't comple...more

I was under the impression that this was the very last volume so seeing "To Be Continued" at the end was a shock. Stuff gets INTENSE in this one. It made all my little problems with the beginning volumes disappear because I enjoyed it so much. ( I did think the hunters were a little random but ended satisfyingly).

Squish, gurgle, splat. Excuse me, pardon the mess. I was just saying that, had you told me this series would still be as compelling after so many issues, I wouldn't have believed you. Thunk, crack, ooze.
What was that? Oh, you make the living character's conflicts high-stakes, the zombies only ratchet up the tension, provide a spring-board for tough decisions, or provide fodder for when an exciting battle is needed.
