Not sure how I feel about this series anymore. Let’s hope this one does it big.
I enjoy the utter morbidity of the story line. Truly graphic good stuff.
1/5. Worst issue yet. Dropped.
Agreed, seemed like Ennis was playing catch up on the character interaction and development. That’s fine but I was a bit bored with this issue. I wanted a little "zombie torture porn" mixed in.
Although I missed the "torture porn" in this issue I thought the character development and exposition was excellent in this issue. I think as a middle issue this was really good and gave caught us up on the characters so that we might feel something for them in the final half of the story (which I assume is going to get crazy). I feel like this is the calm before the storm.
On a somewhat related note I saw in the newest Previews that issue #9 is going to be 40 pages and 4.99. Just FYI.
It was definatly one of the slower issues, but i guess i just love Ennis’ characters he creates and the interactions that occur. The scene of comming out of the closet was just a great conversation. I think i dig Ennis so much that he could do a whole series of people talking while pissing in the woods.
Wow, surprising to see such negative comments here. I thought this issue was great. People are always saying Ennis is nothing but "shock" factor & violence (obviously those people haven’t read much of his work) but, this issue showed why I personally think he is an awesome writer. Character develpment, humour & dialogue. He does those three things as good as anyone else in comics (IMO) & even though this issue would disappoint the gore-hounds, I liked it a lot. Not everyday in a zombie apocolypse would be blood & carnage (I’m speaking from experience, obviously), some days would be just be about waiting for the next horrible thing to happen.
