The Walking Dead, Vol. 14: No Way Out by Robert Kirkman
3.0
Bullet Review:
I was actually rather liking this - all the way up until a major character is attacked. And then the rage monitor goes off.
Can Rick Grimes become any MORE of a Marty Stu? How much more angst can this guy bear - all the while other characters get shoved into the background and forgotten? We barely see any other characters at this point, it's all Rick Marty Stu Grimes and his Eternal Angst. What about Michonne? What about Andrea? What about Eugene? What about Abraham? Actually, what happened to the women in this series? We used to have Patricia, Lori, Carol, etc. but all the women keep dying and no one is replacing them. And when some attempt to join, they are popped off to suit Rick Marty Stu Grimes.
What makes it worse, I think is how STUPID Rick's decision was. Yes, let's try to run away while zombies are literally SWARMING the commune! That doesn't sound like a bad idea at all - NOT! Sad, because it takes this stupid idea to make Rick Marty Stu FINALLY come up with the smart idea - why not just go all Tyreese on the zombies and hack them up?!
This one has made me the most frustrated/infuriated since the Massive Compendium I finished a while back. However, I still have 4 more volumes from my coworker and more than ever, I want to see what happens next.
