March 19, 2012 2:43 pm I was okay with Carol, I mean women be a little crazy when they lose their kid. But if her dissent against Rick ever pops up again that will change quickly. I have a weirdly fierce Rick loyalty.

March 19, 2012 2:40 pm Buah? I totally missed the bus on this one, had no idea it was a thing. Have I mentioned I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally like Green Arrow? Fingers crossed on this venture, CW is generally not my station of choice to watch... well anything. Ever.

March 19, 2012 11:45 am On that note, I'm really curious how the time away from the group is going to affect Andrea, and how long it will last. I hope she meets back up with them in time for... certain events where she was awesome. But will this turn her hard[er]? Make her embittered? Sway her loyalty? She was good to the group but the people she was closest to are dead. Should be really interesting.

March 19, 2012 11:42 am I can attest if you have the volumes in front of you, you will have zero problem reading it all before the show starts up again. Even rereading I can't go through less than 6 issues in a sitting.

March 19, 2012 11:39 am Called it called it caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalled it! *HAPPY DANCE* Knew from episode 1 (go check the post) that was going to be the last shot of the season. Granted, it was a bit obvious. What could possibly be better as a giant reveal and set up a new paradigm for season 3? But still, I'm chuffed. Let me have my moment. Now that that's out of the way... MICHONNE MICHONNE MICHONNE MICHONNE!!!!! Hoooooooooray! Great entrance as the mysterious bad ass. And the prospect of her and Andrea as a team? I have no words. I really don't. Next season we're going to get to meat of this series: The depraved, disgusting and terrifying, and I'm not talking about zombies.

March 6, 2012 10:34 am Don't ask me to pinpoint when, but I think it because artists have come more into the spotlight, and we've encouraged more elaborate work: painted interiors (Ross), manic detail (Jae Lee) or unusual painting techniques (Templesmith) etc. And a book doesn't necessarily need elaborate art, but it sure is lovely. Back in the day people bought characters they liked. Then they started to follow quality writers, because they knew they'd write any character in a compelling way. Now we have a large contingency of people who will follow an artist from book to book, purely because they love their work. (Are you one of these people? If not, that alone would explain the disparity.) I think that sort environment makes the artist more than a job that anyone can fill, it makes their books a destination which means that they will be given leeway, because taking them off will mean some outrage and possible a drop in sales. Think if they kicked ... I don't know... Geoff Johns off a book for being late. That would be insane. So some people think the same way about certain artists. I'm a designer, so I'm, of course, sympathetic to artists. I'll say again, people work at different paces, and while I do feel it's an artists responsibility to understand their limitations and accept jobs accordingly, I know saying no is one of the most difficult skills to acquire in a lifetime, especially to a project you're interested in. So, in short, you're not wrong per se. It's just the current paradigm.

March 6, 2012 10:15 am Hilarious choice of cover for #2. I would never have guessed where you were going without caption. "Soar gleefully through the sky with a flock of flamingos? Okay, *I* think that's cool, but I'm probably the only one."

March 5, 2012 9:32 pm That was exactly my thought Zeppo. I agreed with the idea that he needed to be treated as a threat, but as an audience member thought he was fairly harmless. Then that scene happened and I was convinced, dude is full on in the group and that group is daaaangerous.

March 5, 2012 2:37 pm Well this blows my "Dale will finally get the guts to kill Shane" theory out of the water. First, with how fervent his stance on execution was this whole episode, and then... you know. The end obviously. Although, last episode had convinced me out Shane dying very soon anyway. Hopefully it won't be *too* much longer. I was also holding my breath with the thought that Carl might've killed the captive. I've always found his evolution to be very interesting, so if I can't have a proper Andrea at least they're doing right by the little psychopath the apocalypse built. Though, clearly, since he wussed out on the walker, he has a little way to go. Anyway, same thing I say after every episode. CANT WAIT FOR THE PRISON!
