The Walking Dead Volume 19: March to War

As noted in my review for volume 18, The Walking Dead series too often forces the drama by having the survivors in violent conflict with one another and all too often with a sadistic bully who is using the zombie apocalypse as an excuse to make a personal fiefdom. I think there are more possible

stories to be told of survival and adapting to the new world, but here we have a whole volume with preparation for war, with the upcoming two volumes dedicated to the war itself. Sigh. I guess in a way, The Walking Dead shows the post-apocalyptic world is a lot like our own after all.

This had a nice cliffhanger and Nagen is that good kind of crazy. But still insane. His personification of Lucille is unstable and creepy but hilarious. I am liking Paul a.k.a. Jesus. He's like a ninja.

Picking up this series again is a little like greeting an old friend, but an older, tired friend that has run out of steam and is just going through the motions. Over the course of many books the actual walking dead have become background as the survival aspect now seems to rely upon the extreme

violence inflicted by living people on other living people. They have killed off many of my favorite characters and the heart just seems to be gone from this story. But, I am not yet ready to drop the series and so I have quickly ordered a few more to see if I can recapture some of the excitement I used to feel over this series.

In this issue, war is being planned. And Rick is making alliances with two other groups with the object of taking out Negan’s group but before they are ready Negan comes visiting and Rick sees a chance to get rid of him and jumps the gun. This action has dramatic consequences, with the most serious being that now Negan and his people are forewarned that an attack is coming.

Another great volume.

Rick has been hard at work trying to get the upper hand by uniting The Hilltop, The Kingdom and the Community. but Negan is more prepared than he ever imagined and stuff just got way more complicated...

I absolutely love Negan, guy is hilarious and provides much needed comic

relief from Rick who is depressingly serious all the time. Carl has impressed me with his tenacity once again, and the tiger is growing on me. Can't wait to read what happens next in the War installment - I wonder if everybody ends up dying. I can't wait to see the demise of Negan or Rick... However this plays out.

Wow. I'd only planned on reading a bit of this before bed, but got so pulled into the story, that I finished it in one sitting. That doesn't happen very often, but this story...this villain, Negan, hooked me.

Yes, he's over the top, but, as far as I'm concerned, so is King Ezekiel. Still, I've

impressed how Kirkman continues to keep this story fresh and exciting. He keeps me, a fully-declared zombie hater, coming back for more.
