I'm glad Rick seems to be getting his head back together. I'll take back my previous call to ditch him. His chat with Michonne also seemed to clear up her mental status as well, and gave them something else to bond about. However, despite Rick's rational explanation of her words and actions, I feel something's gone a little off with li't Sophia.
Looks like gun-toting macho dude will be a good new ally to have around if he isn't all psycho or something. And scientists dude's last-page cliffhanger in issue 53 has me reaLLLLLy excited about next issue.
Looks like a trek might be happening. That's good. Staying put at the farm might make good sense in a real zombie apocalypse, but it won't necessarily make for thrilling reading every month.

WHOA. # 57 was one intense issue. I won't spoil anything here.
But the cover for # 58 has me frightened, as does the "The Unthinkable" tagline...
Does Carl get kidnapped... could the villains from # 57 have allies? I don't think Carl's zombiefied and I hope I'm wrong about the allies thing. I'm actually worried and stressed out about this.

I'm still only about half-way through to where the series currently is and hopefully will be catching up shortly. I think I need one more trade and then I hit the point where I began collecting single issues.
AMC has shown with Mad Men that they are serious about creating strong, serious and powerful dramas and no subject matter is taboo. I watch Mad Men personally and its simply one of the best things I've ever seen. I'm impressed AMC will now do the Walking Dead too. Pretty cool!

Wow! I was hoping for HBO, but AMC ain't a bad fallback with their recent track record! I just hope AMC's ready to do right by it. It doesn't have to be a HUGE-budget undertaking, but I'd like it to be done right and hopefully with enough violence to make it not seem like they're brewing us some WD-Lite, y'know?.

#64 is out today. "Fear of the Hunters" is turning out to be incredibly horrifying. The thing that amazes me most about this series is the way Kirkman always manages to ramp things up. You think things have gotten as intense as possible..... then you pick up the next issue and it is even more intense. And then that happens again the following month, and then the next. It just doesn't end.

I'm dyin here...I just caught up to issue 62...and my shops in the immediate area do not have 63. One only gets a few issues and sells out fast, the other had most of their shipment destroyed in transit. 64 is waiting, but I will not get it until I have 63! AAAARGH!!!

I avoid spoilers for this series...it's too good. Money has been tight, but just got a few bucks to catch up...so now I wait to keep going. Although, it is a blast to read it in chunk again.

I'm just popping in to say that I'm still reading and loving this series.
I haven't come in to this thread for a long time for fear of spoilers but glancing through it now I see that you've actually all been pretty good about not revealing any. How nice!
I've just finished the latest TPB (#10) and it is SOOOOO hard resisting the urge to go out and buy all the latest singles to catch up - but alas I've made a promise to myself to go TPB on all my non-DCU purchases (except Madame Xanadu but that book is such a stealth-DCU title I'm letting it slide).
My only complaint about this book is that nearly all of my favourites were killed off in the Prison arc and I'm really not that enamoured with most of the ones left - especially Michonne (sorry MLLASH) who feels to me like she stepped straight out of a bad Quentin Tarantino remake of a bad 70s Blaxploitation film (and I should know - see my handle ) which seems greatly at odds with the tone of gritty realism that Kirkman seems to be striving for with the rest of the cast. She pulls me straight out of the book/setting every time she comes on panel.
The one other thing I didn't like was the fate of...
Click Here For A Spoiler... Morgan and Duane. It was realistic I guess but a very sad development for a couple I was hoping for better things for.
I'd like to see Morgan at least recover and adapt to the new world but I think the writing's on the wall for his character - something horrible to do with Carl I'm guessing.
It also seems a bit mean of Kirkman to go down this route with these two characters after leaving us hanging about their fate for so long (and I know he's been asked about them a lot) but I guess one of the selling points of this book is that no one is safe and that there will probably be no happy endings for any of them.
