Catch a break? Dying and not coming back as a damn zombie is the biggest break they can catch. Cause you know living in a world where every one is trying to kill you is really fucking fun.
I liked it when things in the prison evened out a bit and we got genuine character drama and not more shit hitting the fan. The comic is one titanic clusterfuck after another for the characters and I'm starting to feel like a sadist for enjoying it.
It feels like the total carnage is over for awhile, and I whole heartedly agree with watching the main cast get constantly shit on and still not be able to wait for the next issue.
I didn't get that feeling. It really wouldn't fit the feel of the book.
Also, this would be an ideal time to bring Morgan and Duane back into the main story. I've been wanting them back forever. Morgan & Duane + Rick & Carl = Awesome.
i'm sure after issue 50, it'll settle a little, as much as walking dead can.
Or maybe switch characters altogether, showing an all new perspective - maybe even tackling the "what happened" issue? Maybe meet up with his kid later...?
I pretty much look forward to anything though.
Also, I assume Rick had issues with axe-braining the zombie in the latest issue because he's sick/exhausted, not because Kirkman is introducing super-duper-zombies that shoot laser beams out of their eyes and spit bees at you.

Wow I may have to get one of those shirts. Thanks for the link.
In the mean time I'm wondering how I can convince my library to carry more, the selection leaves a lot to be desired. The Japanese manga lobby, however, seems to have a lot of pull there, I do not care for this.

Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)
So that was pretty good. Usually the 6 page previews of anything suck, but that does the job nicely.
Even thought you bastards tempt me.
I am happy I didn't look at any previews. Awhile back I was watching Blaire Butler's comic podcast and she was talking about one of TWDs that I hadn't read yet (I wait for the trades). I immediately stopped the podcast. I am glad I did. I just finished reading vol. 8 and my God I need to see what happens next.
So, what issue does vol. 8 actually stop at? I wouldn't mind getting a few regular ol' comics of the new issues.

Sorry for not using a spoiler tab but c'mon.
In retrospect, I think it was by design - show folks gettng complacent, show them going stir crazy, and then see what happens.
I think that you are right about it being an intentional lull in the chaos. Even knowing what the ultimate result would be, you can't say that the lull was the most exciting part of the series. It definitely reads better in one sitting.
I really enjoyed it. It may not have been the most exciting action wise, but a lot went down that really showed you who these people were and what they became.
Go crazy?
I'm pretty sad, because this summer I finally just read through trades 1-8 of TWD, and it was great..but I feel like this series is better suited for trades, so now I must wait...and try/fail at not looking at spoilers.
Is it just me or does the number of pages in each issue seem to keep getting smaller? I enjoy a good letters column like the next guy, but why are there 6 pages of letters instead of 6 extra pages of story?
To me, the reason the series seems to have slowed down is that they are just giving you so little story in each issue. A 6 page preview is almost the entire comic at this point.
