Issue 128 Review

Definitely some sexual tension there. Mayhaps we'll get a two page spread of them donut bumping with Rick going to town with his creepy claw thing.

Magna is the new Holly, Rick is Abraham, and Andrea is the good o'l Rosita!

Not my best work....but my first coloring on my borrowed laptop. Still getting used to this...much smaller mouse clicker, hence why it is....sort of rushed in places. I'll get used to it though.

I hope you all like it.

10/10. One of my favorite posts ever

Also I loved the Rick/Carl hug followed by Ricks upset lickle face. I love when Rick and Carl have father/son moments because they don't happen all that often. Carl spends so much time trying to 'prove' himself as a man to Rick I like when moments like this remind you hes still a kid.

OHHHHHHHHHH I just had a thought, we saw Carls badass whittling skills this issue, how long before Carl whittles himself a wooden eyeball like Gareth from the office in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Koibito, I love that fourth panel for some reason. The look on Negan's sad and dejected face is worth a million

Cheers

I don't know why I thought the notes were so ridiculous but it's probably because they were so vague. Be specific. Ask them stuff they wouldn't think of coordinating

"How long were you at the nursing home? Who died first? What did Michelle look like?"

Then, you can even throw them curveballs

Andrea: What did Michelle look like?

Magna: She was a brunette

*Later*

Andrea: What did Michelle look like?

Luke: She was a brunette

Andrea: Really? Magna said she was a redhead

Luke: Right. Sorry. We had two Michelles in our group

*Later*

Andrea: Name all of the people you've encountered

Yumiko: *Neglects to mention two Michelles*

BAM! You got 'em. This is of course assuming the group isn't to be trusted

Yea she wasn't exactly Poirot, Shes a sharpshooter in peace time she has to find a roll somehow haha

Yea Kirkman said that Sean said 2 years without running it by him or something along those lines, il have to reread it but I could have sworn it was Kirkman who said it in letter hacks not Sean (bold). Might be wrong though

EDIT: It was Sean never mind

Likewise, Rick = Tyreese, Magna = Michonne and Andrea = Carol.

I wonder what fascination Kirkman has with these love triangles if I'm being honest. It's more of a soap opera's style than a story about the zombie apocalypse lol.

Well sex is a stress relief and they're all not getting any younger, so it'd be natural that people would be going at it like rabbits while they still have the time to do so! 

Pretty much everybody in the series should have a notebook like that. Andrea should get hers published.

I forget to mention I liked the Nicholas reference. I love it when dead characters are mentioned so far into the future.

he only died like 2 issues ago

he only died like 2 issues ago

Still no idea where Michonne is.

In the letter hacks opening paragraph was Kirkman implying that the time jump wasn't exactly 2 years or did I just misread that?

he did not imply it, he expressly stated it. 

my thoughts on the issue:

negan can still eat a dick

i need to give carl more credit, i totally thought he was arranging a hit

andrea needs to tone down the hostility

magna and her group better not fuck something up

also; andrea's notes didn't bother me too much, but that part where they encountered no people concerns me.

i feel like this arc is going to turn into an us vs them kind of thing. walkers are going to become a real problem and fast

eugene is a whiny little girl. [that's not gonna be popular but i stand by it]

olivia is STILL in charge of food.

they wasted way too many panels on the losers on the horses.

can't wait for carl and rick to make their trip, there oughta be some good dialogue. my guess is rick knows about carl n negan and it's part of the reason he's letting carl go.

What's with Olivia always having a job of some sort involving food? And The 1st Letter in the hacks was the best. METALLICA!! \m/

Olivia is the Heisenberg of B[re]aking Bread. Selling all that product to the Bread Heads in Alexandria.

zombie poster back after hiatus 

THey should have got at least on whole issue doing the back story thru the interview or even 4 issues 

telling the back stories of the new group thru flashbacks in the interviews like true detective show 

best part of the ZA is the chaos at t he start  and the road trips  

A wasted opportunity  IMO for what is worth

end of rant

Interesting issue- I get the feeling that Magna's group are not what they seem. She is actually Negan's sister.

Since issue 127, one thing is bothering me, we were told Magna and her group are traveling atop of a train-cart being dragged along by a group of horses, how on the earth this would work? I do not believe these horses could run when pulling a train cart with like half dozen people, how could they survive like this for 7 months on the road?

Negan is sitting alone in his cell,

someone enters the room,

he looks up clearly expecting it to be carl. 

From the look on his face we see it isn't Carl he looks shocked.

He utters one word.

"Magna?".

We reveal it is indeed Magna standing on the stares, she is equally shocked.

"Oh my god! Negan?"

Probably highly unlikely but I am pretty sure she will discover him and possibly release him.

Billy Greene is back! ..no wait it's Ken.. who the fuck is Ken?

Nice little filler issue i feel. I can't really get a read on Negans reaction after Carl left was he disappointed that they aren't buddies with Carl or was it that he isn't getting anywhere with trying to start manipulate Carl i feel like it's the latter, but i suppose time will tell.

Too bad that Euge feels the way he does hopefully he doesn't create the self-fulfilling prophecy.. or maybe he's right to doubt who knows it will probably end up Rosita being preggers and they living happily ever after until they are devoured.

Andrea is bad at interviewing oh my god! She needs an attitude adjustment though. BREAD!

2nd Michonne teaser with the sword coming through a zombies head or maybe it's to show that people have started using more swords overall as Carl also mentions wanting to make swords and spears which he will get to do it seems good for him it will make things bit more intresting as Carl has always hung around Rick pretty much as long as the comic has been going.

While i think Magna and her Fantastic Four will find Negan they won't release him and Magna will come to the same realization as Rick did with Alexandrians and the Safe-Zone that they are good people.
