Collects THE WALKING DEAD #109-120.
And here are the covers without their dress!
Wish I knew what the hell was up with Carl’s arm.
Looks like one of those thick leather gloves that people use when working around high heat to me.
Bolt cutters! Jailbreak!!
Those aren’t bolt cutters, they’re a tool used to hold hot metal.
I know. I got episodes of evil…that was the first thing that popped up in my mind.
They are called blacksmith tongs .
OK, forget the jailbreak….MEGA WEENIE & MARSHMALLOW ROASTING TIME!!!
Lol you are silly.
I like breaking the monotony of serious comments.
God i fucking love this series. Best comic series out right now by a country mile. But kirkman has GOT to go back to once every two weeks. Once a month is PAINFUL after AOW.
But issues are 32 pages now, rather than 22!
Just #127 and #128 are extended I thought?
129 and 130 are as well, and having looked at this page again, on the issue details, it says issue 131 is also 32 pages.
That’s including ads. Issue #128 is 21 story pages long.
Oh, really? Well that sucks.
October. Two issues. Nuff Said.
No doubt… the best comic series atm! Totally love it. The wait is frustrating but hey… if you want TWD to stay at this level, you need to give the creators time. I fear if they rush it, they might just screw it up 🙁
Proportions and perspective destroyed the portrayal of the scene on this cover. One of the worst yet.
Maybe that’s something like a man’s welding protective clothing with the gloves that are big on Carl (?)
i know what it is, but from a artistic standpoint, it’s not framed/staged right.
I think I understand what you’re saying, but it’s not awfully bad. I have 2 covers in mind that, to me, aren’t as good as this one.
What are these 2 covers ?
Check these out. Awesome covers, but there is one thing about Dwight & Heath that ruined their covers for me: the torso. Women (& certain men) wear low rise, don’t they? Then Ezekiel…look at it a certain way & that shadow makes him look knock-kneed, not to mention that his belt is hanging low like he may have one of those jacked up torsos. Good covers, but it’s easier for me to see Carl holding his arm at a certain angle to avoid heat/flames & that he looks like he’s got protective gear on. So I like this cover better.
Now look at this frame of Negan in the latest issue. What is up with his ear? He looks like a Gelfling from The Dark Crystal!
I love Adlard. There are superb frames & covers & I really love the horses I’ve seen as of late. But I can’t help but feel that sometimes maybe he’s being pushed for time & some of the drawing suffers.
hey you are clowning my avatar .
You dissed my man Shane.
Shane is one my favorite peeps .
I like the elusive Heath, too (not as much as Shane) but that torso…. man = bulk! LMAO!
Perhaps Carl is smelting a unicorn?
Carl’s throwin’ all kinds of gang signs. He be like…
Haha.
An interesting contrast this issue, with a relatively colourless cover compared to some months.
I’m liking this cover Earl Sutton back in action taking the role of Mr. Miyagi.
anyone on here have Mario Kart 8 ?
We’re one behind you….MK 7 on the 3DS.
speak of covers, what did cover of 128 have to do with the story inside, maybe someone has already brought this up, but that cover does not relate to the story inside nor does the tag line of “after all this time . . .etc” a mean what s up with that!!
Somebody on the discussion thread posted a prediction, based on the #130 cover. They could be right about their prediction, but we all know by now that the covers give nothing away.
MK7, one of my fave of the series.
Ezekiel gets a cover, yet Jesus hasn’t yet?
Do you think Jesus deserves it more than Ezekiel?
I’m not trying to start a argument with you I’m just trying to see where you are coming from.
I think we’ve seen more of Jesus but for some reason, it seems Ezekiel has been more of a fan favorite…maybe because of Shiva. Jesus could make HC #11.
To be fair, Issue 114, directly before All Out War, was Jesus focused, so I guess they didn’t want to have him on it again too soon, perhaps?
I was just trying to see if he doesn’t like Ezekiel or is he just a big Jesus fan either way is cool with me I like them both and I hope Jesus gets a cover soon .
Well, it’s not like fairly popular characters have missed out before: Tyreese, Glenn, and Maggie have never had a cover either.
Ouch, that arm is just painful to look at.
Adlard still has a few months before it’s release if he’d like to take another crack at this cover.
“Don’t stop believing…
Hold on to that feeeeeling…”
Sorry, that’s where my mind went with title and imagery.
Lol
They really need to release Book 10 and 11 together. They have 108 issues for hardcover out right now and by the time book 10 comes out in September TWD will be at Issue 131, there is enough of a gap in issues to release another hardcover right away. There is zero reason to hold back the hardcovers so much, especially since AOW is broken up between them.
I thought there was talk at one time, about giving us HC 10 & 11 at the same time. Maybe we get #11 6 mos. later instead of waiting another year (here’s hoping).
I love Earl Sutton! I’m glad he is getting a cover with Carl.
reminded me of this
