Yeah.... this was not my favorite edition. I am very thankful that there are co-writers on the show because the women in this ARE AWFUL. And the men form their own committee and the women are not included? WTF?

Before I address anything else about this series, I have say, Robert Kirkman? You have some issues when it comes to women. Thusly, you can't write women accurately. At all. The female characters in this series are either bitches, sluts or nagging harpies (or some combo of the three) who just wanna wash clothes, sew, have babies, fuck men, and maybe, in a completely out of character move, kiss another woman. Also, the children in this book are like Disney show characters, ridiculously blinking up...

A cage is a cage not matter what. This is the fourth volume of the softcover editions of "The Walking Dead", collecting the comic book issues from #19 to #24.Creative Team:Writer: Robert KirkmanIllustrators: Charlie Adlard Additional gray tones to inking: Cliff Rathburn Chapter Four THE HEART’S DESIRE Cry me a river.

I'm really starting to enjoy this series.

HOW CAN SOMEONE WRITE GIRLS SO HORRIBLY?I am not sure what happened in this volume. Like. Girls turned against girls. Girls just want to get it on and nothing else. Girls just want to please the men. Men fight each other over girls.Where is the actual story? Where are the empowering women at?I feel like this was a filler for the series. I needed more story, and less drama and poorly written women.At least it was still a masterpiece in the illustrated department. The art is glorious.

Some people aren’t meant for this new world; they’re too weak, too stupid and too useless. They’re walking spoilers because it’s so obvious that they will be the next to die. But, for every idiot that dies, everyone else get tougher. They learn from the fatalistic mistakes of the fallen: they learn never to fall into the same trap. Rick’s already a hard bastard, and this is only the fourth chapter, I’m looking forward to seeing how ruthless he is bound to become. I’m enjoying reading this throug...

We are still in prison...Finally Michonne has arrived on the scene...And what a bitch she is!The fight between Rick and Tyreese is quite something! Well done, how their emotions careen so far out of any reasonable frame of reference and they loose it so completely. What makes a murderer, is there such a thing as a justified murder? Is there even any such thing?I like the black and white, but I am still mourning the artwork of the first volume. I am often underwhelmed by a lot of frames and the s...

This comic reads like it's been written by a 15 year old boy with a constant erection. The Walking Dead is a great premise poorly executed. The characters are insipid, with no defining qualities to empathise with. The plot rapidly and repeatedly flits between killing and sex, with little meaning or worthwhile emotion given to either. This volume is particularly bad, portraying every character as sex-crazed. Almost every adult character has had sex, often with different partners, as if in a world...

Well. That was brutal. And grim. The times... they are a-changin'! Still so great though. I am really loving this series, especially the artwork. There were panels in this volume that show Tyreese in such detail, and I love how intricate the drawings are. The fact that you can see the way his right ear folds down just a tiny bit at the top is so impressive to me. Or how you can tell so much about how Lori is feeling just by her facial expressions - she doesn't have to say a word. I love that the...

These are so bad, yet I can't stop reading them. I guess I'm just curious to see the plot differences between this and the TV series (the TV show is far superior to the comic). This volume was equally ridiculous as the last two. (view spoiler)[We see (the amazing in the TV show) Michonne blowing Tyreese; following that, Carol tries to commit suicide and fails miserably; Rick and Tyreese fight over who's the alpha male; Andrea, who is proclaimed by the group as "the best shot", and until yesterd

More trouble at the prison, and the introduction of Michonne with her zombie boyfriend and best friend keeps this from getting stale. With semi stable surroundings, the narrative is free to flourish, with a number of social crises that lead to some very dodgy moral reasonings. Can the group retain their humanity in a world that threatens their very existence? At what cost do you turn to in order to protect your family? I like the ideas thrown around here, and can see this social exploration taki...

I don't like this stuff for the zombies and all the different ways to kill them. What keeps me reading and occasionally watching is the human aspect of it. When everything changes so dramatically, what is right and wrong? Is killing someone wrong if it's justified? Who's in charge of making the decisions? Who makes the law? What are the consequences for breaking the law?A lot of those questions are out there and the group is trying to find answers, but many of them are becoming unhinged. There a...

4.5 starsMichonne arrives. Enough said.The story becomes truly soap operatic with more hook-ups, break-ups, and punch-ups. The bromance between Rick and Tyreese seems to have some to an end with a no-holds barred, bare-knuckle beat down.Carol is such a loser in the comic compared to the total badass she is in the show. Oh well, she's still got time to change...or get killed.

Honestly this volume just made me needlessly sad. Naturally I expected death. One death was justified and I was glad for it. The other death was sad, but it was pretty much background noise. I really didn't like how the breakup happened. I guess I just expected more from him than that. However, I did like the drama that unfolded once Rick found out. I still abhor Rick's wife. I haven't hated a character this much in a long time. Glenn and the girl he's with just come off as kind of weird to me.

The Walking Dead Volume 4: Days of Our Undead Lives.I was excited at the start of this. Michonne is here, there is a confrontation between the prisoners and the gang. All is set for a great storyline. But what you get is drama, drama, drama. Who's sleeping with who and who blames who for someone death. And Rick's breakdown. Well the first one from memory. But I guess the cover does warn us by depicting a kiss. Everyone is on edge and having a mental breakdown. Probably not surprising given the c...

The subtitle to The Walking Dead should be: A Post-Apocalyptic Soap Opera as the series veers away from depressing horror to hokey melodrama in this fourth volume, appropriately titled The Heart’s Desire, as if it were an episode of Melrose Place! The cliffhanger of the last volume is dealt with in no time at all, as if that entire last volume’s conflicts didn’t matter at all, and a new character called Michonne appears, while another character dies, and a lot of relationship stuff happens. I’ve...

If this didn’t have zombies in it, I doubt I would read it. It’s very soap opera + zombies with everyone hooking up, cheating on each other, and fighting about it. (Don’t… don’t you have better things to worry about in an apocalypse?) There isn’t a lot of genuine plot in this volume as the characters scramble for power inside the prison and come to terms with the fact that probably nobody is coming to save them. I feel like the zombie art kicks up a notch though, and there are some very cool pan...

There are a LOT of gifs ahead.Oh my. Oh my.Oh. my.You said it, Glenn. It really, really is.Guys...I can't do this without spoilers so you've been warned.SPOILERS AHEADWhere the hell do I even begin?? And why has it taken me four volumes to realize how freaking fucking sexist this series is? Ok, ok. There have been hints of it in every issue, but nowhere near as blatantly stupid as this.Have any of these writers ever met a woman before? Because, I really, really wonder. Let's just go ahead and di...

Okay so this is easily my least favorite volume out of the four I've read so far. I was really excited when I saw Michonne finally get introduced, as she's one of my favorite character in the show, but her character is a total bitch in the comics and I hate that. I hate how all of the women are portrayed in these comics, but specifically in this volume, it's really bad. SPOILERS BELOWThis particular volume is full of nothing but drama. And not even the good kind of drama, but the stupid love tri...

"WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD". Another great volume of TWD comics. This volume focuses on morality and how the group are going to have to adapt if they want to survive. What's right? What's wrong? You can stay "humane" and get munched on or you can kill and survive. I really liked it. Everyone is fighting and it's great. I'm so obsessed with this story! I might start watching the TV show even though I know they're different and I also know lots of spoilers for the show! The shit hits the fan numerou...
