What can I say? I'm hooked on Kirkman and Adlard's continuing story of zombie survival. It's been on the top of my reading pile every week it's come out since the first issue.ĪNDY LANNING ( Revolutionary War, The Hypernaturals, Guardians of the Galaxy) Gillen writes incredible angst, humor, and humanity when it comes to these young heroes trying to figure out how they fit into the world. I love stories about young superheroes, and Gillen/McKelvie just delivered the master class on how to make those rascally youngun's feel vibrant and new for the modern world. Folks keep name-dropping Hawkeye when talking about the book, but I see it as something with its own thoroughly distinct flavor. Nick Spencer and Steve Lieber have embraced the inherent shittiness of some of Spidey's C-List villains, and has made a whole world out of the NYC villains circuit that's consistently hilarious and engaging, but also deeply human. Probably the most consistently underrated, but consistently great superhero comic book of the year. But cheers to what is sure to be an all time classic of the medium.
And now we're finally at the absolute end this week… It's hard to believe. And now it's coming to an end, and it hasn't ever faltered, and these last few issues have been breaking my heart over and over again. It's been the best comic book in the industry consistently over the last 5 years. We all know how freaking amazing Locke & Key is. This one might be a bit of a cheat, because, I mean… Come on.
This strange dystopia seems not only plausible, but rich with deep mysteries and history that Rucka and Lark could spend years exploring.
Speaking of incredible world-building… The simple drum beat that counts the population at the start of each scene in tiers, it's such a simple note but it hammers in over and over again how different this world has become.
