I didn't see a thread devoted to this yet. I just began delving into this series (up to issue 7 now) and I am loving it. I was just wondering if it gets better/worse/stays the same as the story goes on..?
Figured this could also double as the general Walking Dead discussion thread as well.
The Walking Dead continues to be an exceptionally well done series. The plot consistently takes twists and turns that you never expected--some of which will shock the hell out of you [SPOILER - highlight to read]: (referring mostly to the happenings of 'The Prison' and 'The Governor' sub-plots, which ultimately transformed Rick into a borderline nutjob.)
Anywho, it is one of the best ongoing titles I have ever read, and certainly not your 'typical' zombie themed book. Highly recommended that you continue reading.

The comic is amazing, and the fact that the show barely follows it all means we get a divergent timeline... like Ultimate Walking Dead... or... something.
The comic was great up until the end of the Hunters arc, then it gradually started to lose me. I feel like Kirkman didn't plan the story out this far, and is just making characters flip out and plot against each other for the sake of creating tension. I don't care much for any of the characters anymore, with the exception of Andrea.
The art has been hit-and-miss with me since the artist switch early in the series.
Apparently it's from an issue of Playboy? I could only find that scene in .pdf format, so I had to DL it and had to convert it to .cbr from there--and I went through all that trouble just to post those scans here.... You're welcome.
...
Anyway, I'm always interested in seeing what these characters did in their daily lives before humanity effectively died... Especially a character as illusive/mysterious/badass as Michonne.

I think so too, but another forum I frequently visit, I'll stop by and ask how's the story goin' and if anything groundbreaking has happened and I usually hear the usual hater responses:
"Kirkman's out of idea"
"Series needs to die, dropped it from my pull list"
"Bland, recycled and boring"
And I'm just like..... Wat.......
It's a story about surviving zombies, that'd happen in real life as well, find shelter, meet new people, fight others for supplies and so on.
Yeah, I've heard the same crap too. Suffice to say, if the series were THAT boring, it would have never lasted 100 issues lol. The only thing I would like to see change, is the comic introduce Daryl (or a character like him.) I love his character in the show.
