The Walking Dead Vol 6 This Sorrowful Life Robert Kirkman Charlie Adlard Cliff Rathburn Books
I've purchased all volumes up to 22 and the TV show has just about caught up to wear I am in the novels. These books are friggen awesome. I don't read much and my buddy lent me VOL 1 after he knew I liked the show. Well, I burned through the first one and then just went on a tear buying 4 volumes at a time...the price is pretty good for what you get out of these. $9-$15 is the range I've paid per novel, I'm not sure why they aren't the same but anyways, I keep buying them none the less. The story was written before the TV Show and the show follows the story but there is some differences. The written story is more violent and graphic then the tv show but the tv show does a decent job of sticking with main ideas. I've noticed that certain plot things that happen in the book also happen in the show but there is a unique twist like a different character it happens to or something like that. Which makes reading these volumes great cuz I have some idea of where the story is going (after having watched all tv episodes) but there are still surprises. If you like the TV show and haven't read these, give it a try and you will get a whole new experience of the Walking Dead story. I'm putting this same review under every volume I've purchased (1-22) so people can see it. go buy these!

The Walking Dead Vol 6 This Sorrowful Life Robert Kirkman Charlie Adlard Cliff Rathburn Books Reviews
We see Rick and the group escape from the Governor’s grasp only to return home to face another threat. Michonne takes an evil man to evil extremes. And the group loses another member.
Volume 5 of Robert Kirkman's zombie saga ended on a cliffhanger, like "The Empire Strikes Back." Rick and his friends were trapped in the town of Woodbury in the clutches of The Governor, and Rick got his hand chopped off (it is like "Empire"!). In Volume 6, The Governor recruits Michonne for gladiatorial games staged between Woodbury's tough guys and the "biters." The Governor explains that the contests are somewhat fixed The zombies are fair game, but none of the breathing combatants is supposed to get hurt. However, days of torture at the hands of The Governor have rendered Michonne less than cooperative, so heads, alive and dead, are gonna roll. While Michonne chops up enemies, Rick makes friends in Woodbury's infirmary, where he's being treated after the "accident" that cost him his hand. His new allies are going to help Rick and his friends escape, but Michonne's not leaving until she gets some quality time with The Governor. Even if they can escape Woodbury, the surrounding woods are full of zombies, and even if they get thru the woods and back home to their families ... well, let's just say there are few happy endings for the characters in "The Walking Dead." One good thing about constant crises They give Kirkman less opportunity to write dialog. I've been on a bit of a zombie binge lately, and before "This Sorrowful Life," I read Warren Ellis' lousy "Black Gas," a series so half-assed it was barely written. Chapters went by with five or six lines of dialog, tops (fewer if you don't count repeated eff-bombs). In contrast, Kirkman's characters seldom shut up. One guy delivers a rambling oration while he's bleeding out from a gaping hole gnawed in his throat. Rick convenes his ongoing debate society in the midst of zombie melee (that guy seriously needs to lose more appendages). I'll be interested to see how the more graphic elements of "The Walking Dead" get translated to TV when the series is adapted for AMC (and Volume 6 gets mighty graphic indeed, even beyond the standard zombie genre gut munching and head shots). It's already got plenty of the network-style soap opera crap that ruined "Lost" so quickly. It should be a huge hit. Me? As always, I'm just waitin around for somebody to get et.
I was a fan of the show first, so I decided to give the comics a whirl. I've been a lifelong comic fan and also spent my entire drawing them, as I am now a professional artist and novelist. Because of that, I will probably take issue with some things most fans won't even really notice. I started at the beginning with volume 1, which was pretty neatly done and strikingly similar to the beginning of the comic series. I enjoyed the artwork in the first volume. Kirkman is a pretty good writer, but not great in my opinion. He does have the ability to craft exciting story arcs and plot lines. The characters are a little crazy, however I guess it's not a stretch that a lot of people would be cracking up during a zombie apocalypse. I guess everybody still alive would have some form of PTSD, it just seems the psychological problems are a bit overplayed. One of the things that bothers me about the TWD comics is there are panels where nothing is said, and it's the same person three times in a row with slightly different facial expressions. They do this a lot, and I wish they'd knock it off. Seems like a cheap way to fill up a page and it doesn't do anything to move the story along. Some of the cussing is over-the-top, and that's coming from someone with his own potty mouth. In the volumes, we should get the original cover at the beginning of each new issue. At first I didn't know if I had started a new one or not. But the thing bothers me the most...IS THE ART. Starting with volume 2, Charlie Adlard takes over as penciller and inker. Adlard does some things well. He renders environments, buildings, and vehicles well, and he also draws the dead pretty well. But he is horrible at drawing people.He cuts corners when drawing people's hair. one eye is routinely a different shape or larger than the other. Very rarely do any of the women look even remotely attractive. If Rick's hair wasn't long, we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between him, Hershel, or Otis. Adlard draws too many lines on people's faces. Rick looks like he's 70. Glenn does not look Asian. Carl looks like Snuffy Smith. I hate putting down other artists, but this guy is shockingly bad. I was stunned that such a popular title has such a below average artist. His covers are pretty decent, but honestly I could draw people better than him when I was twelve. He's also a bad inker. I've often wondered what in the world he;s using to ink, a Sharpie?!
Maybe they get him an inker so he can concentrate on drawing people to proportion. Hate to put down your favorite book, but this guy is bad.
