7.5/10
Its been action packed and entertaining picked up a bit as it went on

On the negative side there is a serious lack of detail i.e. numbers of people involved, distances of places and relativity to each other
which makes figuring out and enjoying the clashes annoying
Also there has been some questionable use of weapons and tactics by all sides
The writers IMO seem to lack firearms and basic military/combat knowledge.

If there was more detail about what has going on and more realistic better fight scenes
I would increase marks.

8/10

AOW has been good so far. It hasn't gone down the way I expected, which is a good thing. I like the fact that Kirkman hasn't gotten stale yet with repetitive storylines and that he can still surprise me. And Negan...well I'm going to miss that guy when he dies. Despite the fact that he swears nonstop, he's hilarious, smart and everything you'd expect from a villain running 200 men and 3 communities.

My only complaints are Ezekiel and the death of Holly and Denise's inevitable death. Holly and Denise had so much potential. It still seems early for their deaths. Now Ezekiel is down right boring. I don't know how, but Kirkman has managed to make a character he is focusing so much time on, boring. I don't care for the Kingdom or Shiva or Ezekiel.

I got Volume 19 in December... Are you sure it's not out yet?
I did buy it online, but it was easy to find. Trade Paperback version, by the way.

Actually, image.com is saying March 5th.

6/10 I just expected more to be honest. People keep saying its building up and it will kick into gear in part 2. But issues 100-114 were all building to this. It just feels like Kirkman doesn't pull the trigger any more, he builds you up and builds you up but doesn't give the promised pay off these days. He's like that girl that will tease and tease, maybe foreplay then zilch... man I love/hate you Kirkman
Hopefully part 2 is better

Agreed.

[theblackboxlies]

When has Kirkman ever promised anything and pamdered to comc fans?I think all the naysayers here are setting themselves up for disappointment.

[theblackboxlies]

I'm going to give AOW pt. 1 an 8.5/10. Adding in the .5 because of ( . Y . )

That's vol 20, 19 came out in November.

[Cthulhu42]

I know I'm probably in a minority here, but AOW part 1 is probably my least favourite chapter since No Way Out. It's not bad, but it's not living up to its hype so far for me.

Also, I think some of the people in this thread talking about release dates are confusing Volumes 19 and 20; Volume 19 was March to War, and came out in November, while Volume 20, AOW part 1, is the one going to be released in March.

[gracie lou]

Oh, sorry. Misunderstood the question.

Agreed. I've noticed the people who are disappointed hyped it up too much for themselves. This volume has more content than 90% of the other volumes so far.

So my opinion is invalid because you think i hyped it up for myself ???

If that is the case you are very very wrong my friend.

I'm not saying your opinion is invalid, but you said

I dunno more action i guess this is not really turning out to be much of a "war" so far.

even though 50% of the issues so far have had big battles (and issue 119 had the zombie Holly moment). There've been multitudes of huge moments so far this arc. Just because it hasn't had enough deaths doesn't mean it's bad

[PorkTornado75]

Battles that we really don't see much of and care nothing about the people fighting it , that is why it is a bit disappointing not because i hyped it up to much mango.

Everything about this comic is not always a 10/10 or even a 9/10.

Sorry i guess i have not been wearing my rose colored glasses reading it so far.

There's nobody more aware of this than I am. I even made a thread listing the plethora of problems that are plaguing the comic these days. I criticize as much as I praise it. I'm far from a fanboy

But your complaint was that this doesn't feel like a war. Then you acknowledged that there were battles, but you don't care about the people fighting in it. Okay, fair enough, but that doesn't change the fact that there ARE battles and this IS a war, and it feels like one.

People complain a lot that it took long for us to get to war, but now that we're here, they say they don't care about who's dying. If Kirkman took the time to develop the characters, people would be complaining about how it was taking even longer to get there. I'm less enjoying the war for the action and more for Kirkman actually making me give a shit. The action is a nice bonus

[Nick_FM]

Quick question...how often did the Saviors go to the different communities to take supplies? Was that ever mentioned?

To each his own i am not trying to bash you but to generalize any complaints as " they did it to themselves by over hyping" is not the way to go.

I just feel like some of the other posters that say that without knowing how many people in each group and the geography of the battles is really difficult to think of this as a war imo.

Some of the things and battles are really kind of stupid if you really think about them i guess i need to just sit back and remember this is a comic.

[Cthulhu42]

I've always thought it was roughly monthly, although I can't remember if it was ever explicitly stated or if it was just an assumption I made.
