#18: 1st October 2014

All right, I'm back and, hopefully, permanently. I had loads of work to do, so I wasn't able to read much. That's the reason I had no content for new posts. I've arranged recently a new schedule and should be able to post new review(s) of best book(s) on weekly basis.
So let's move to the top book from October 1st, shall we?

The Walking Dead #132


What a terrific installment to the series! This issue has introduced a MAJOR development to this acclaimed run of Kirkman's The Walking Dead. I am amazed how creepy and fascinating it was. Maybe #132 lacked dialogues, but on the other hand all this action twists and surprises have made this book remarkable.

Surprisingly, it wasn't easy to pick just one book from this week. We also got Thor #1 with brand new main character, Miss Thor, the series finale of Remender's Captain America and much more. What made Walking Dead #132 so outstanding? 

Script and artwork. It may sound banal and unprofessional, but that's what I love about Walking Dead. It's a classic, we get an incredibly talented artist, Charlie Adlard, for whom black&white is more than enough. On the other side sits Robert Kirkman, a plotting genius, who knows his characters better than anyone.

What happened in #132? First six pages describe a situation in the camp. Nothing major happens, but breathtaking Adlard's views with soft and climatic dialogues make it a pure pleasure to be read. Then Kirkman moved to new environment, the dangerous one, full of roamers and vulnerable people. And our party begins exactly here. I won't spoil anything. it just MUST be seen. Truly wonderful stuff. Highly recommended.

If you haven't picked up The Walking Dead yet, stand up, run to your local comic book store to buy/order from online shop two Compendiums having 96 issues inside and all other trades! It will be a money well spent.
