BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy


I feel like I need to start this review by saying that Walking Dead has been GREAT for the last 5-6 issues. So great that I really wanted to go back to reviewing it in case people don't know how great that greatness has been. So, that's what I do, and blam, this issue just sits flat on almost every front. The only thing that connects in this issue is a conversation between Michonne and Rick, sharing experiences of loss. Everything else around those 5 specific pages just feels weak, almost to the point of treading water. There's a reaction to a problem by Lydia that isn't based in any reality-it's not going to lead anywhere- in a scenario that may have been invented just to get the moment in question. Anyway, Charlie Adlard is still great, there are 5 great pages, so it gets 1 Graham for each of those.

I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams
