iFanboy Mini - Episode #88 -The Walking Dead Vol. 8 - Made to Suffer
Josh goes over some of the really nasty developments in the latest volume of Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead. It isn't pretty.
If you've been reading The Walking Dead, you know that it's not a book to be taken lightly. Recently, the newest trade paperback, Made to Suffer, hit the streets, and Josh wanted a chance to go over it now that everyone's had a few weeks to read it. Writer Robert Kirkman and artist Charlie Adlard really push the limits on their popular zombie series, and they weren't kidding when they said no one was safe, because there is some messed up stuff in this one. And readers love them for it.
If you haven't read this far, and you don't want us to blow it, here's your spoiler warning as well.
If you have read this, then honestly, are you sleeping OK? Because it's it all kinds of messed up.

Josh, don't apologise. The amount of amazing content you guys give us, a glitch is not a problem. I'm only impatient because the site is so good!

If you aren't reading the Walking Dead you're a Nazi. That's how good this is.

I assume you mean the flash player on this site? Try it now.

Geez!
;-)

It works now! You are of the awesome, Josh. :)
Posted by johnpavlich on 07/16/08 at 03:51 PM
Nice one. Plus, The Shield is one of the best shows ever.

Jeff from TRS? Is that you? :)
Posted by johnpavlich on 07/16/08 at 04:51 PM
Was that to me? Does Jeff like that show?
Anyway, I knew a guy a lot like Vic Mackie (I've worked with a few cops). The depiction is spot-on.
Posted by gene on 07/16/08 at 10:26 PM
Wait... there are people who *don't* think that THE SHIELD is one of the best shows of the last ten years?

@conor,
I didn't watch it for the first few years because I assumed it would glorify corrupt police (a la Dirty Harry). Boy was I wrong! Moral ambiguity like a mutha!

Word.

I also jumped from Trades into issues. And I havn't looked back. Although the last 2 have read really fast, I've really enjoyed the cliff-hanger quality of each issue. Plus you get all those awesome covers that aren't collected in the trades.

@conor,
LOL

@Josh
Great review! You feel exactly the same as I do regarding W.D.
This is a book I try to turn non-comic readers on to. The people that may not be able to get past the whole tights and flights thing sometimes embrace something like this I have found. Spread the virus!
ps - Dude. It's called a hair brush. They arent very expensive.
I KID!
I KID!
