The Walking Dead Issue 127.... spoilers!!

[Proudhuff]

Thought this was such a big issue it deserved its own thread

Don't go any further is you don't want to see spoilers




Post All Out War (AOW) things have taken a turn for the better, turning herd at the start was a great re-intro and the catchup of everyone was nicely done too, mind you if it stays like this its not going to be the most exciting of comics 

Great they have finally discovered horses too

Well this will be off topic BUT since its such a special issue!

Anyway I don't read Walking Dead but I just noticed how close you are to the big 10,000 Proudhuff. I'm hoping a man of your quality has plans?

No-one else finding thiese strange turns of events commentworthy?

The jump forward was even more of a refreshing blast of much-needed air than I had first thought. While the who AAW arc had, in the end, played out in quite a satisfying manner, it did get bogged down and became something of a chore. By jumping two years Kirkman has kicked the legs out from under the accusations of staleness and predictability. Also, it means that it's probably now 2006-2008 in their time, so the comic has less of a risk of being stuck at the start of the 2000s for its shelf-life.

Towards the end of AAW, I had considered stopping reading monthly (I was digital and had been since #84) and going back to trades... but the new start and the fuckery with Comixology/ Amazon means I am now back to floppies- and there was something very pleasing about holding #127 in my hands and reading it that way.

is there a larger page count on this as it feels heavy in the hand?

but the new start and the fuckery with Comixology/ Amazon  ....

I have to admit I've found the main gripe against the Amazon merger a little difficult to gel with as I always bought through the website paying by paypal anyway.  I don't recall ever actually using the app as it always had the UK prices.  I know it was only a minor savings (about 10p a go really) but they added up over time.

AOW was probably one of the better story lines for a while.  Looking forward to the next omnibus edition to read it all in one go.

I gave up on Walking Dead ages ago, but when someone said it had been "Battlestar Galactica'd" in #127, I just assumed he meant there were sex robots in it now.
