The story feels just about right, as far as its length goes.
The thing is, the pacing is so well controlled that you won't notice the extra length. The price tag is an extra dollar this month for an issue that runs 30 pages. Just when you thought the survivors had things figured out again, things go from bad to worse. It's the turning of a corner into a new mode that might take some time to straighten out. This isn't the end of this particular movement of the series. Pulling things back together will be tough, as raw nerves are frayed and the trust amongst the survivors is questioned. The situation that was once under a little bit of control seems to have spiraled out once more. In the end, things have changed yet again for the title. It adds a slightly lighter touch to an otherwise scary moment.
#The walking dead 185 cbr series#
If you've followed the letters column and general discussion of the series on the Internet over the years, you'll recognize a couple of frequent comments against the book show up in the mouth of the bad guy here. There's also one or two bits of meta-commentary thrown in that made me giggle. Not that these characters aren't prone to fits of language, but the Big Bad Guy in this issue goes on an entertaining tear. Kirkman also reveals himself to have quite the potty mouth. Credit to Kirkman for setting up events so that they pay off logically there. You don't quite know how it's going to end until it does and then it seems obvious. Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard deliver something much smaller, but just as effective, creepy, tense and sad. It is not, however, the massive rampage of blood and guts I expected it to be. After Rick's controversial decision to make a trek to The Hilltop at the end of that last issue was followed by a look at Negan's people watching over the now-emptied town, things were lined up for something tragic. We all knew that the build up to "The Walking Dead" #100 meant that something drastic was going to happen.
