Be honest...do you still enjoy following the Walking Dead?

Been reading it in floppies since issue 1, and after 101 issues it is still the first book read of my stack. I love it, even with some of the brutally gruesome parts like Carl's face and Glenn. Best book on the stands.

the Alexandria arc hasn't been it's best. it isn't bad, but it's got some down time, and characters that aren't really fleshed out enough to care when they die.
Kirkman said that 100 will change the type of stories they're going to be telling, and I hope that's true. the book could certainly use a shake up.

however, I don't feel that it's a bad book. it's a quick read, and lord knows I have 20 minutes once a month to see how life if going for Rick and his gang of survivors.
I find the survival aspect the most interesting of it all. I wish it played up that a little more. part of my problem is that I don't care about the place they live. it's a bunch of houses. it's boring to look at, and there's nothing they 'built' there to be invested in.

I wish it was a more dynamic setting, like the prison. visually, I mean.

I love every issue, await it eagerly every month.

I would like to see some development with the world around them though. I agree, alexandria is too...meh. They have water, electricity. It's been pretty much "life as normal" pre-apocalypse. I would like to see something more on a grand scale.

Was America the only country devestated? What about Europe, Russia, China, Japan?

Is humanity going to survive?

Kirkman has done a great thing with building the characters, creating great characters that you care about and enjoy and putting them in developing cycles. But, How many times ofthe SL Rick and Crew find place to live, get kicked out, kill, move on.
Kirkman states that arc 1 isn't half way done, but I'm not seeing where the journey is taking book.

Great question! There's a new direction I would jump on. If Kirkman can make an interested and compelling story focused on devastation in other areas then that would be fun to read about.

What? Really? I find that hard to believe.

It's in one of the last 5-10 issues in the letter columns. If I can find it I'll point out the issue for you. I love reading the letter columns at the end of each issue. I'm not sure if i enjoy the fan mail more than the book to be honest, lol. It's one of the major reasons I pick up the book is I also enjoy reading what other people have to say about the book, and what they think about events.

Absolutely. Still one of my favorite ongoings and I still flip to the last page as soon as I make that purchase every 4 Wednesdays haha. The book continues to shock, surprise and delight.
