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.

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

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.

"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

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 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.

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

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

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.

Robert Kirkman on kauhusarjakuvalle sama asia kuin the Beatles populaarimusiikille, Maradona jalkapallolle tai Nigella Lawson television ruokaohjelmille - ehdotonta parhautta, nimittäin. "The Walking Dead Vol. 11 : Fear the Hunters" (Image, 2009) kerää yhteen sarjakuvan numerot 61-66.

While reading Fear the Hunters, I was constantly impressed with Robert Kirkman's ability to bounce back. The past few volumes, ever since Made to Suffer, had trouble getting anywhere near the shock and carnage that came before. Fear the Hunters finally gets us back to the gore and mayhem we've been craving.

The Walking Dead is possibly my favorite current comic series. and while this volume is packed with both excitement and fucked-up-ed-ness, something about it seems a little flat to me. probably because there isn't enough Michonne. one of the subplots reminds me a little too much of The Road, although with a better ending certainly. i wish Kirkman would develop Rosita a little more. we know almost nothing of her and it is starting to annoy. still, it's a good volume. i just want more. now

AMC is adapting The Walking Dead into a television series, and as a big fan of these comics, I was initially very excited about the idea. But after reading this latest volume, I’m starting to dread it. Because it’s hard enough reading about the horror and misery that sadist Robert Kirkman has heaped on these characters, but if the series is half as good as the books, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to take watching some of this stuff play out in live-action.

This book was amazing, again. There's absolutely nothing bad I can say about the Walking Dead series. This time, we return to the neighborhood, and as always, characters that you think will be around, die. That's what I love about this series, you never know what the heck is going to happen. I love this series so much, I am now returning to the comic book story and buying each issue so I can keep up. Not sure how I'm going to rate them on Good Reads, but this is definitely an AWESOME read.

I wonder how that WALKING DEAD TV series stacks up to the graphic novels. I bet it is every bit as addictive, and that is why I will never watch it until it has been cancelled (heaven forbid).
I guess I was doing a lot of graphic-novel side-reading while in the midst of CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS. This appears to be the first graphic novel I'd read in almost two months, and I read it about two weeks after finishing CAPTAINS. I need a more rigorous reading schedule, is the bottom line.

Pretty intense arc... I guess I am saying that a lot with this series. I think they have experienced every single horrible thing you could imagine with the breakdown of society. Rick, Michonne, Andrea and Abraham make a formidable group. I fear for little Carl. On a side note, I love that the female characters are so strong in this series. In a lot of fictional post-apocalyptic hellscapes, it seems like the women revert to homemakers and whores, but not so here.

This book doesn't stop being brutal with its humans. Yeah, the zombies are there, but this volume is especially focused on the human-on-human violence, and how people (especially kids) are affecting by living among the dead.
The addition of a preacher isn't very revelatory, though Kirkman could be setting something up pairing him with a scientist. Or it could just be more fresh blood waiting to be killed by people or zombies.

Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead, vol. 11: Fear the Hunters (Image Comics, 2009)
The release of a new volume of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead is always cause for celebration (or at least it is when my library finally gets it in). Even when Kirkman takes a long digression from the main storyline, he's bound to make it gripping.

I really enjoyed this collection of the walking dead series. The depravity that some will take to make their lives easier is completely imaginable. And, the actions that others would take to eliminate those threats, even though it might put them in a similar moral situation, is equally apparent. The series continues its great look at what might become of the survivors after the zombie apocalypse...

I think I'm getting burnt out . . . At this point, I feel like the series' power peaked with books 8 and 9, and another plot thread simply hasn't held the emotional strength of those first 8 volumes.
That isn't to say that this volume, which focuses on what happens to children in life-or-death situations, isn't well-done . . . I'm just not feeling as connected to the survivors as I once did.

the series continues to not pull any punches and put all character in danger so no one is safe and anything can and does happen in this book. more than in the past, the decomposition of humanity and morals is featured affecting the children more. it's a lot to deal with. also fun here is some new religeous debating, which is well worth debating considering the state of this world.

The Walking Dead is always a solid read, but this story arc did very little for me. I get that our band of heroes is going to come across crazy people every now and again, but the crazies encountered in this trade felt a little fabricated. Maybe I would have been ok with them if the Governor storyline wasn't still fresh in my mind (another over the top bad guy).

Actually, don't fear the hunters. Seriously. They're a bunch of misguided cannibals with delusions of grandeur. But this book is very ineresting, with some great dialogue. Pretty tragic towards the end. I think some characters need a little more development, and SPOILERS Carl's descent into evil at the beginning stretched plausibility a bit; it was too abrupt. Also, the hunters probably could have turned the massacre at the end into a Mexican standoff. On the whole, though, very good. The part w

I always enjoy the art of this series. It captures a certain tension and anxiety. In this installment, the group continues its journey to DC, and while there are a few zombie encounters, the main threats are a lack of food and another group of sinister humans. It's the young and old who don't do so well in this collection.
