 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."

"Fear The Hunters", The 11th installment of Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead, establishes a palpable spike in the action. The story begins with a shocking murder from within the group, the introduction a new character who speaks the word of god but hides a terrible secret and that someone or something is watching them from the woods, following their every move. Vol 11 continues to build on the momentum from Vol 10 with enjoyable but sometimes shocking results. It was a pleasure to see Rick take charge again. He was back to his old from and returned to being the glue that holds everybody together. Rick's metal stability has been shaky as of late but he seems to have found the resolve needed, at least for now. "Fear the Hunters" sees Rick and co. face a type of menace that they haven't seen since they survived the terror of The Governor back in Vol 8. How Rick chooses to deal this new threat is very exciting and invigorating but also chilling and haunting. It makes one wonder what path Rick is choosing to take the group and whether or not they will keep their morality in the process. After finishing "Fear The Hunters" I felt that there was a definite upswing in the pace and a darkening of the already pitch black tone. "Fear the Hunters" is a white knuckle thriller and ends on a nice cliffhanger. I can't wait until Vol 12! "Walking Dead" is one of the best graphic novels running and shows no signs of slowing down. An absolute must read!
Another amazing story arc. February 5, 2010
D. Nagy (New England)
I had been collecting this book as a monthly series up until issue 61 when I decided to start doing trade paperbacks (the collections) as they were much cheaper. I am now regretting this decision because I have to wait FOREVER for the trades to come out. Anyhow, I loved this story arc! I think this is one of the best comics out there right now and although that may be due to my love of the zombie genre, I still felt it needed to be said.
As promised, a thrilling journey into humankind February 8, 2010
Timothy Sebring (Columbus, OH)
In the beginning of the story, we were told that this wasn't just another zombie story. It was a story of people, and how they change in the face of danger and death. This latest story chronicles the further adventures of Rick and gang, having to deal with dead and living alike. Surprises around every turn, you never get tired of reading this.
One could only imagine what the human psyche would have to concoct to be able to survive an ordeal like Rick's, but the Walking Dead books do a great job of showing how individuals in society would deal with a scenario like this.
The only bad part of the book, was the last page, knowing I had to wait to continue the story!
