An Amish ninja assassin? Wow!General Cale's true agenda is revealed.Oh, how I want her to die so badly.
This one dragged a lot, with nothing new on the revivers' side, but a lot of stuff happening around the army. I found the chapter dedicated to what the characters wanted for their lives to what they really had quite boring. The soldiers were all living clichés (racists, sexists, whatever) and the time spent with the strippers didn't really add to the story so both things annoyed me and decreased the little pleasure I had while reading. Thumbs up for Cooper's comics and Jordan's involvement, they...
There are entirely too many plot threads and characters in this second to last volume for me to imagine them adequately wrapped up in the upcoming last volume. Not only that, we were introduced to a few more...an Amish assassin and her daughter. What???Now, I really enjoyed the what he/she wanted in life vs what they got storylines. Reality can end up being very different than what you envisioned, so this was great character development for some of the Wausau residents. General Cale has rounded
This series is drawing to a close – it's getting very good!If you've not read the six previous volumes of this comic series, this will be a bit of a mystery to the reader. It's a very good series which had improved as it goes along, dealing with a phenomenon where various dead people are “revived” to live amongst the locals in a small US town. The characters are well-developed and sometimes it is hard to keep track of who they all are, especially if there's a sizeable gap between volumes being p...
I'm impressed that the story can keep me involved and engaged for this long in the story!
Time to tie loose ends. The motive as to why revivers are being kept locked up has finally come to surface. It makes perfect sense. The big question now is : Do we grant them citizen rights, or do we keep trying to kill them (once more) ?
Things have definitely headed in a different direction than I expected. I felt like we got sidetracked in this next to last volume with the whole drug angle and focus on these military people who didn't really figure into the story. While Amish ninjas are very cool, I'm leery of them entering the story at this late point. I'd rather it focus on the Cypress family. I hope Seeley and Norton are able to give us a satisfied conclusion in this next volume.
I was fine with the revenant cheeseheads. If we assume this is a slightly less grim near future than the one in which we find ourselves, I can maybe even buy the black lesbian general at the head of martial law in a pretty white area. But at the Amish ninja, I draw the line.
Tim Seely does it again. The thrill and excitment in the revival community is sustained.
As the book before didn't bring anything actually shocking, this one went nuts. As if someone waiting on a bus and telling you a story finds out the bus is about the corner and he speeds up to finish the story. It didn't feel wrong, but it didn't feel right either. Maybe the problem, for me, is that "movie narrative" I mentioned with a note on the previous book. But there is more to that - I've accustomed that the comics series are like a movie (one complete series up to twelve issues) or like T...
As if this whole series wasn’t awesome enough, there are now Amish assassins. Because of course there are.
Seven volumes in and still good. I'm just hoping Seeley can bring it to a close sometime sooner rather than later.

See review for Vol. 1
The next chapter moves the story along nicely. I do see this as the type of story with a beginning, middle and end and from what I understand the story wraps up in the next volume. There's a lot of plot threads to tie up, so that last volume should be a doozy. Not a bad read, and I'm still looking forward to finding out exactly what's being on in this one. A very different type of "zombie" tale for sure.UPDATE: The prior review still stands, I just hope the conclusion is satisfying!
This odd series looks to be coming to an end. Much like Chew, this series is one of the strongest in the Image Comics arsenal and issue after issue it has delivered something dark and unique. There is no shortage of blood and guts in this chapter and we finally get that one step closer to learning the truth of the revival. Some of the support characters fall to the side as the township falls into chaos, they either mean nothing to the overall plot or are going to be unleashed in what I feel will...
Ah the penultimate book - personally the most difficult book in any series - as here you start to see the expectations of the readers grow. Here you are laying out and often setting in motion the events you will see the final book come to witness and end. And for me this book certainly starts to ramp up those events. Lots of answers are presented here to several of the questions made throughout the series - however there are many still left unanswered and in fact a number new ones added in to th...
I don't think I'm okay with the Amish ninja (a bit too ridiculous) but I still love this series. The "what they wanted" and "what they got" juxtapositions were fantastic.
Sidetracked. World: The art is great, wonderful emotions. The world building is solid but at this moment it has sidetracked and dealt with town stuff instead of the core mystery and creating pieces which honestly are not needed. Story: Sidetracked by other tales of other people. Sure we care for Nikki but the drug stuff was a waste of precious pages. We are heading towards the end and this was not needed. The farm stuff was good but also not the full focus. We now have only six issues to get to
This volume felt like it took a wrong path and we got sidetracked from the plot. It's the second to last volume, and it feels like we are dragging on at this point instead of wrapping up. The characters are still good and the overall story arch has been good, just wish this volume was more streamlined. I hope all loose ends get tied up and the ending is satisfying.
