Disappointment

I tried to give Kirkman and Mora the benefit of the doubt. I was worried about the direction, I wasn’t a fan of the art style, but I was hopeful I’d be wrong. I wanted badly for the comic I loved to continue. However, issue 29 seemed to prove my worries true. The art, while colorful, is entirely stagnant. The motion, fluidity, and sharpness that was once there is gone. The storytelling panel to panel is disjointed and difficult to follow. The pacing is horrendous, and the writing is a balancing act between emotionless shock value and dialogue more childish than the original cartoon.

I’m not dropping the series, but I have to admit I’ve lost the anticipation I once had for its monthly release. I’m disappointed and I expected more from such respected artists.
