Intense,

This review is from: The Walking Dead Volume 15 TP (Paperback)
An intense read. It's interesting to see how far the characters (the ones that's have survived anyway) have evolved over the course of the 15 volumes. This just goes to show - the Zombie apocalypse is not for the faint of heart!

The Zombie Epic Continues: A Chapter Of Rebuilding, Introspection, And The Importance of Community,

This review is from: The Walking Dead Volume 15 TP (Paperback)
The inevitable expansion of "The Walking Dead" universe continues with this collected volume in the comic franchise. Having been a huge Dead fan since the first graphic novels, I have watched the enterprise turn into an outright phenomenon. I've reviewed it all from the graphic novels, to the collectibles, to AMC's television production, to the latest incarnation--the novelization by series creator Robert Kirkman and tidy horror writer Jay Bonansinga. "The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor." But nothing gives me more satisfaction than keeping up with the epic in its original format and here's the latest scoop on Volume 15 "We Find Ourselves.".The last installment "No Way Out" marked a satisfying return to action, bloodlust and monster mayhem. While early sections of its story are spread among far too many characters (we need to thin the pack!), this is the chapter in which we really see Rick reclaim his leadership role making both good and bad decisions. The entire focus of the tale is taken over by a zombie horde that has discovered our little community. Things may not be as secure as our heroes had hoped and when safety is compromised--nothing will be the same again. Mutilated corpses and surprising new victims populate this episode which is an absolute game changer. But amidst all the carnage and loss, Rick has a remarkable epiphany near the end that makes one of the most powerful soliloquies the series has yet produced. After the stunning finale of Volume 14, therefore, it made sense that we'd get a chapter of rebuilding and introspection. Unlike some, I never mind these moments of respite. To be a truly rounded epic, the series must encompass much more than mere survival. And yet, in this instance, this may be one of the least cohesive entries into the series so far. Spending much time in romantic entanglements (some work, others not-so-much) and discussions about community, the series seems poised for another major shift. This is very much about Rick and his continued search for meaning and order in the chaos that surrounds them. As he rebuilds the community, he wants to repair his own shattered psyche. There are a some nice moments, but if I'm being completely honest, some of the dialogue seemed a bit forced with way too much speechifying that lacked an organic feel. As one character threatens the hierarchy, another challenger may be emerging. We'll see where it goes. This is a quieter episode, and not a particular favorite of mine--not because it lacked zombies, but because it seemed more constructed and "written" than a natural extension of the characters we've grown to know so well. But I still relish any chance to catch up with Rick and the gang! About 3 1/2 stars. KGHarris, 1/12. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Have read the entire series thus far, just short of the new new TPB not released as of yet. But it is on order as well.

The Walking Dead: Bigger and Better,
By Jon Walker - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Walking Dead Volume 15 TP (Paperback)
The Walking Dead is by far my favorite book out there. However, I can only read The Walking Dead in trade paperback form. I can't go issue by issue. The suspense is too much for me to wait several weeks for the latest installment. I'd rather wait months for the trade and get slammed with it all at once. Kirkman's writing style is superb. The characters feel very real and genuine in their struggles. No one is safe and I find it hard to predict what happens next. This particular issue was a bit on the slow side, but Kirkman never disappoints. Even if you aren't a fan of comics, The Walking Dead is a non-stop page turner from beginning to end. I've converted several people who think comics are juvenile into devout Walking Dead heads. I highly recommend this and urge you to give it a try.
