Yeah, just read the latest TWD and that page was both awesome and scary all at once. On the one hand, I feel like I know Rick better than 75% of people in real life and then at times, I totally don't see what he's thinking even when it makes perfect sense. Now *that* is characterization.
The tension is still there on every page.
Carl Jr. has really emerged as a favorite of mine. I feel so bad for him and yet I know he's totally right and respect that he hasn't let his guard down.
Love the casting for Andrea, one of my faves.
Also, love the Michonne cover for the next issue! She's one of my favorite characters EVER ANYWHERE.

#72 is in the already read pile.
Kirkman is great. This issue shows off why Rick is soo damned dangerous.
Interesting to see who is adjusting the fastest, and who isn't.
Interesting seeing who is hittin on whom here as well.

Robert Kirkman fans: I've got a one-shot comic book for you, "Stealth" by Top Cow. Check out my review (really teaser) there. It's Kirkman at his best and I guaranty you will get hooked by issue's end. Its $2.99, one issue. It *may* continue as a series but it may not and you'll never see it in a trade. It's so Kirkman it hurts in a good way. Do it.

Still haven't read 72, but I'm feeling the urge to grab the last 10-15 issues and read 'em all in one sitting this evening...

I just got TWD Book 5 HC yesterday, containing 49-60, and read it in one sitting... finally got to bed around 3 this morning.  And we're up to #72? FanTAStic. Hopefully they solicit the Book 6 HC soon... like, STAT.

Latest issue was awesome as usual. Rick & Glenn's deception was a great twist and I'm loving that Rick isn't screwing around here. It's scary but cool to see. I also actually felt bad for Abe and Rosalita when Abe realized he really didn't want to go back out over the wall in the morning. I really felt like I could feel his dread. The dude hitting on Andrea is creeping me out. Andrea is my girl, so that creep better back off. I at least want her to sharp-shoot his politician ass.

Thanks, Dev!!! October can't come fast enough. I'll have to clear out some permanent space on my DVR too until the DVD set is released.

Okay guys. The extra sized #75 came out today. It's not what you are expecting. You are not prepared for this. If you didn't pick it up today, cancel all your plans for tomorrow and go get it.
Beauty's where you find it. Not just where you bump and grind it.

That was different than expected...and very well done too.
Everybody's reactions in the story were great. From the opening scene to the ending...and beyond.

I hear ya on that, but that trailer is making me wish it was time for 6 hours of goodness already.
Saw several things that looked pulled from the comic in there, plus some new stuff to keep it interesting.
Wonder if they'll keep Shane alive longer to draw out that tension...
The casting looks good overall, will be interesting to see who they get for other characters that come into the story later.

If the 6-season mini-season has even half-decent cable numbers (maybe 1-million viewers or so) I bet it will be picked up for an expanded 2nd season...
I think HBO's current smash success TRUE BLOOD only garnered about 1.5 million average viewers its first season...

So how groovy is it we're getting 12 issues this year again! I just read #73-75: and like usual, what great stuff!
Seeing Rick losing it and then everyone calling him out on it was really painful. And that's the 2nd time in this series it's happened. Michonne felt like a real betrayal too. I dying to know what's going to happen.
The Ottley back-up was hilarious!

I read 74-75 just now... Rick really HAD lost it there... what he did was in NO way justified... sure, defend the lady and kid if they appear to be in danger, or if they ask... but he went from 0 to 250. He snapped... and threatening to take over the Community is kind-of the final straw. Michonne was right to do what she did. Rick has lost his finesse somehow... I think being safe behind the walls has affected his judgement. Now, the *REAL* betrayal to me was The Father. What a scumbag. Casting the first stone rather quickly when he had previously left his congregation to die. That really enraged and disappointed me. What's really sad is Rick's ballastic behavior now gives the Father's claims lots of weight... Okay, the umm, bonus feature was really odd. I SO enjoyed seeing Tyreese and Axel again!
