The Walking Dead, Vol. 6: This Sorrowful Life by Robert Kirkman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Gruesome! That’s the first word that came to mind about this particular volume. Okay, sure. I know this is about the end of the world and zombies and all. But the horrid things that happen to people at the hands of other people. Ugh!
Look, I know there are bad people out there and they do awful things and if the world ends that may be one of the biggest issues we would have to worry about. Not the monsters, but who do we trust to take care of others rather than use this chaos as their own ladder. (Nod to Little Finger of Game of Thrones.)
As I usually compare the show to the book, I am shocked that once again that I appreciate how all this was depicted on the show more. The governor gets his payback good and square. Michone shows her stuff. But as the title of this particular issue states: This Sorrowful Life. Yeah. What a sad state of affairs our friends are in.
As ugly as it got, I can’t wait to read more in the series. I love reading the comic on my Fire or on my tablet as I can zoom in on pictures and tiny font. Glad I could obtain a copy through Kindle Unlimited. What a fun way to explore more books than I can possibly afford!
I agree, not sure which episode you speak of, but the one with Negan and the bat was so bad I had nightmares for a while. I don’t think I could get into the comic books, but I agree you can get lots of free books on Kindle. I have such a big library on it I can’t read them all, lol. I even forget all the books I have!
In the comic books I haven’t gotten to Negan yet. But, yeah, nightmares and deep depression hit with Lucille. I’m glad I got to watch TALKING DEAD right after to remind me of what’s real.
The governor is the bad guy before Negan. Remember he kept zombie heads in aquariums, his zombie daughter in a closet. He ends up killing Hershel and makes Rick’s group leave the prison. I abhor him more from the books.
Negan is your worst nightmare. Just wait! He is played so well by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and he heads up The Saviors.
Yes, on the show, Negan is the nightmare. So far in the books the governor is as bad if not worse than TV Negan. (I haven’t read the Negan parts yet. Just watched them on the show.) And I love Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I fell in love with him when he was on Grey’s Anatomy! 😉
Me too!!
