 Putting the Bang Back into the Series! January 10, 2010

FYI I purchased this at my nonlocal comic shop, for Amazon has been having major difficulties with this title. Reality of the matter is that they had the release date wrong. I believe you can order this product if you go to other formats.
Anyway, the book is awesome. As a hungry fan of the series I ate this up in no time. I won't reveal too much but the danger has returned to the group. There's another frightening threat and not everyone will survive. I like how Kirkman is obeying his own format by coming up with new ways to maintain the tone and pace of the series. The suprises come in threes and there is never a dull moment. It's comics like this that gain my respect for Robert Kirkman. All I can say after 11 volumes is keep going! I want more!

FEAR THE HUNTERS! (The Walking Dead: Volume 11)
Written By Robert Kirkman
Illustrated By Charles Adlard & Cliff Rathburn
Collects Issues 61-66
"A man's gotta eat. If it makes you feel any better...you taste much better than we thought you would."
The first big story arc in a while, Fear the Hunters finds Rick and company still on the road, slowly running out of food, and options. Not to mention that they're being followed and watched... The first issue alone, #61, will give you a clue as to what to expect--and you'll be surprised at how quickly the terror begins and the fun truly ends. As they continue toward Washington, lives will be lost, bad deeds will be done, and a new character will be introduced. Then you just have to tell yourself that there are still five more issues to read before the collection is over...
"I don't think I've had a chance to introduce myself before. I'm Chris, it's good to meet you. You probably think I'm crazy, and I understand that. Why wouldn't you? But I'm not, none of us are. I don't expect you to believe that, but it's important to me that I say it."
Both Kirkman and Adlard have outdone themselves here, both the writing and the art are better than previous collections. Volumes 9 and 10 had me worried there for a little bit--our characters seemed to be going nowhere...and Washington seemed a little too far away. The new characters were fine, yet it still seemed like everyone was walking in circles, not doing much. Yet here is were it picks up pace--and it doesn't stop.
"You know the drill--we have to keep these people scared. We should actually pick them off sooner, thin their numbers out and make them fear for their lives."
Yet even though the writing and art are better, is the actually plot worth reading? The simple answer: yes! Although it is reminiscent of The Road, Fear the Hunters is more than worthy. In many ways, the Hunters are more savage and brutal than the Governor himself--and that's saying something. Whereas the Governor still had a shred of mercy for his daughter, these people...have no soul. They long ago ran out of food, and have taken to hunting down human and eating them--no matter what the age.
"Cannibalism? How did it come to that?"
"The simple answer? We got hungry. We're terrible hunters. You ever hunted before? Animals are quick. It's hard. You spend so much time finding a good hiding place--and waiting. It's almost pointless. So we decided to hunt easier game. People don't run from us.
We were desperate."
So although this volume was delayed because of National Comic Book Skip Week, throw all your anger away and buy it as soon as you can. If I have a single complaint about this volume, it's that it simply went by too fast...and that we didn't see more of the hunters. Well, who knows--maybe Kirkman will surprise us in later issues...Dang. I just realized now I have to wait another 6-7 months before volume 12 comes out.
"Just came to ask you this. Will you stop coming after my people?"
"In all honesty? Probably not."

Rick and company continue to fascinate me as a reader, even after eleven volumes, and I continue to wonder if Robert Kirkman will ever stop coming up with new ideas and new challenges for our group to deal with, but so far, that is not the case. Trouble comes at the survivors, as it always seems to, from both outside and inside the group, and this new addition to the saga is no different. A murder comes early and a slow building dread caused by an unseen enemy stays with the group throughout most of this volume. A character relates a soul wrenching tale of what he felt he needed to do to survive before joining the group and I was once again surprised (although by now, I probably shouldn't be) when a character we are close to dies.
As this story continues to move forward and the group continues to face new enemies, it is clear that their own humanity is in constant jeopardy. While nemesis like the Governor, from a few volumes back, were brutal and I would be hard pressed to provide him with any redeeming qualities, it is not always that cut and dry and Rick also is questioning how brutal he has become lately. He and the others seem willing to not only do away with their enemies, but make them suffer for their crimes. His level of viciousness has rubbed off on his son, at least to a certain extent, and while these characters are just that, characters, it is heartbreaking to see how lost many of these people seem to be, unsure of who they are anymore or what they are doing in this dead world.
Which for me, continues to make this story all the more intriguing.

The Walking Dead, v.11
Written by Robert Kirkman
Illustrated by Charlie Adlard & Cliff Rthburn
(Image Books, 2009)
-----------------------------------------------------
Robert Kirkman's zombie-apocalyptic mega-saga picks up steam and returns to pure horror in this chilling latest volume. Once again, it's not the zombies that are the main danger, but the humans, as the insanity from without gives way to the insanity from within. This is one of the best volumes so far, and some of Kirkman's best character work in any title he's written.
Recommended. But not for little kids. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)

As a french, I'm used to the french/belgium graphic novel... I have to say this one blew my mind. The story is somehow very classic and complies to what we have seen already in various zombie movies. The characters and how they change through time is the strong point of the comic. the drawing is another good point. Well, I love it !
