justiceofkalr's review against another edition
4.0
I'll start out with my gripes, because I don't have many. First, I had difficulty with a couple of the women who I occasionally got confused. I think that was probably due to their slight similarity in appearance and the fact that they spend a lot of the time as background/support. My second gripe was the children, who at several points seemed drawn to look just like miniature adults, especially their faces. It was slightly jolting.
Everything else was great. I love how despite being a zombie book, this story is so much about the characters and how they're coping. In this volume our travelers run into another small group of survivors and make their way via a gated suburb to a farm that seems well defended and well stocked. People die, people go crazy, zombies are slain.

The series gets better, but it still has monochromatic characters (not only monochromatic drawings). The story gets better, there are some nice things happening around Hershel's farm, but the story still lags behind the Tv series.
However, it improved a lot, and it starts to grow on me. I like it.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

kind of the same thoughts as before—fast paced and all that. i didn’t love this but it does get gritty and show that anyone can die in a *snap* and you can’t control it. also, the tyrese’s daughters bf is super sketchy.

I noticed that in the first two volumes of The Walking Dead, an entire season of the show has passed... It's really fast paced and i'm not even sure how much time has passed. It does give you everything that you need to know, and not any of the boring information. But for scenes like Glenn and Maggie exclaiming their love for one another, It seems like it happened so fast, like in a few days. More than likely they were at Hershel's for a few weeks, and their relationship expanded over that time. It just seems like it all happened so fast. That's the only problem that I could find in this Volume.
Let's talk about one of the new characters, Hershel. He seems like a respectable guy, instead of killing the already dead zombies, he has hope that these flesh eating things are just infected, and will heal soon, or the government and scientists and doctors will heal them all. He has so much good in him, and everything seems to fall apart so quickly that he snaps. He loses control of himself, and he hasn't really been exposed to the outside world. He let a group of strangers into his home while they fix Carl's wound and until he's healed. Everyone thought they were safe, that they found a new home. They had hopes, too!
Miles Behind Us sounds like a matching title, to me! This volume is basically where they leave camp, find somewhere to stay, having hopes to make the estates a new home for them, and then get mobbed by loads of zombies, and then find another place, Hershel's farm, and are kicked out, finally ending the volume with them overlooking a big prison. Also, Shit happens!
I decided to take all the spoilers out, so I changed my review.

Really, really good! I still think these comics are much better than the show... I didn't like the artwork as much in this one, however? Is this a new Illustrator? Excited to continue on and read more!

Oh, the farm! I don't think I realised how much I loved the farm and Herschel's early arc. I'm missing Daryl with all my heart but still enjoying this.
