Commentary In Favor Of Books The Walking Dead, Vol. 6: This Sorrowful Life (The Walking Dead (Collected Editions) #6)
Every time a write a review for one of these comics, I seem to mention that another level has been breached. And that’s because it’s completely true. This one descended even further into depravity. In the past we’ve had lots of violence, mutilation, torture and even rape. These have become almost casual things, trademarks of everyday life. In this crazy world this stuff happens every day. I hesitate to say that it’s normal, it’s not normal, but in a zombie apocalypse anything goes. There are no rules anymore. There’s nobody to tell you that you are wrong and to punish you for your deeds. All that’s left is opportunity and those who are willing to take advantage of others. Simply put, they will take what they want when they want it. There’s very little to stop them. I’m of course referring to the Governor and his foolish following.
And Michonne, his latest victim, didn’t let herself be defeated by such a brutaliser. What she did to the Governor was brutal poetic justice. The worrying thing about the whole situation is how easily she survives. She’s obviously a strong woman, but such a decree of fortitude could only have been born from a life of hardship. Before the apocalypse, she must have had a real hard life; it’s the only logical reasoning for how easily she picks herself back up. There’s a lot more to her character, and I hope eventually we will find out exactly what keeps her going. This was another good volume.

Rick, Glenn and Michonne remain the captives of the sadistic Governor, the leader of a small enclosed community. But help is on hand as one of the Governors guards helps them escape and head back home to the prison. Will they all make it back or die trying? I really, really enjoyed this one! I flew through it in one sitting, and its a cliché but the pages couldnt turn fast enough. Everything from the lead-up to the breakout, the escape through the forest, the drive back to the prison, andThis volume wraps up the very lackluster Governor story. Michonne gets an entire gratuitous issue to exact torturous revenge with all manner of sharp instruments, but everyone else is just spinning their wheels and I am left struggling to find a reason to be interested in these people anymore.
5 StarsSure, maybe it should be 4 or 4.5; but I don't think so. Michonne's payback on the governer in the comics, is wwaayyy better than the t.v. show. Hell, it probably wasn't enough. I love the insight into the characters, without it being a long drawn-out speech. We learn about them in fits and starts; and just enough. We start to see their motivations with each scenario that plays out.
Just a quick warning to say that this review contains spoilers for The Walking Dead: The Best Defense!If I am being honest, I just do not seem to be enjoying The Walking Dead any more, but I am determined to continue with it, as it definitely has the potential to improve. And I am actually quite glad that I am, as this volume demonstrated that it is certainly possible for the story to get better and become interesting once again.In The Best Defense, Rick and some members of his gang found
I'm not sure if showing Michonne getting revenge on the Governor is better portrayal of her as a character but I got more out of this volume than the last one. Is it dark? Definitely. Do I think the Governor deserved it? Definitely. In addition to Michonne not being further tortured in this volume, we get the introduction of a smart, female doctor, Alice. I liked that she came along because she wanted to help Rick and Lori and that's she's good with a gun, too. I hope they don't do to her what
Wow, what a volume! Things got really crazy in these episodes! I loved it. I love how we are finally learning more about the characters as we're actually getting a great insight into them now. I've tried to not get too attached to anyone because I'm pretty sure Robert Kirkman will kill whoever he wants to but I can't help it! (view spoiler)[ HASHTAG DR. STEVENS OMG! (hide spoiler)]I still have my concerns with this comic and it's representation of women but I hope Alice will be sane and that
The zombie apocalypse is freakin scary! And I am not talking about the zombies man! The people are insane! I would have to say after reading 36 issues that I LOVE the show more so than the comics. The comics are freaking me out!
