Ten Issues of growing dread and uncertainty.
Something like two years of waiting to see what happens; to maybe understand why.
I know we will probably never see a “why” in “The Walking Dead” because that would mean an ending and why stop riding that cash cow, huh?
At least we knew Crossed would have an ending;...

It’s been what? Five years now since Rick was smacked on the head with a shovel while prowling outside his own home.
Did you ever get the idea that Rick died right there an then and the rest of “The Walking Dead” has been some kind of melodramatic Hell? A Purgatory for Rick who woke...

Horsecock and crew return and while singing about how much they love rape, Ennis and Burrows take the Crossed to a whole new level of “Rob zombie villain” because really, that is all the Crossed appear to be now. “The Firefly Family” as a communicable disease. The Manson Malaise if you will.

Finally things look up for Rick and his Crew (except for Dale, he’s boned)
Issue 65 Opens with the Survivors holed up in a church after being attacked from the tree line outside. Needless to say Rick is pissed off and ready to spit bullets.

Two Issues in a row and we haven’t heard from Horsecock again. All setup no follow through I guess. For Now.
This (like the tepid issue 5) is an other “Humanity” issue; where we get to see the survivors getting along anddealing with one another (as well as the horrors in their past).
Geoff, the weepy...

This is how the comic opens:
ARG!
The Headless Spider-Man!
If you didn’t catch Issue 590; Spider-Man was given a blank checque, made out to Cash to join the FF on a journey to the “MacroVerse” in response to a summons from the (formerly) grass hut living primitives there.
Johnny got it up his nose to see what...

I’ve been enjoying the “Dark Reign” crossover storyline; so much so that I look forward to what I get to read of it from time to time. In Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #2, Reed is scanning the Marvel Multiverse looking for answers to where he went wrong and it looks like he’s coming to...
