    Koz's Comic Flasback: Things are Taking a turm for the worse.


    This is Review #5 out of 77 as I am continuing to review every issue of the Walking Dead as my tribute to such a great book and to hopefully to get new readers to the series. Also to get everyone hyped for the new show on AMC. 
     
    PLOT: 
    Rick and Glenn barely escaped Atlanta alive but did manage to accomplish there mission in getting guns for the entire group. So in the beginning of the issue we see the group learning how to use there guns. Andrea seems to be the quickest learner. Carl even gets a chance to carry his own gun, but Lori is not to happen about the whole thing. Once the group is finished with shooting practice they head back to camp. Then Rick, Shane and Dale go out and get fire wood. While getting the fire wood Shane expresses his feeling torwards Rick thoughts. Towards the end of the book the entire group are sitting around a camp fire eating getting to know each other having a great time until Amy goes to use the bathroom then all hell breaks loose!! 
     
    Outcome: 
    This issue gets you to learn a little bit about every character in the book so far and it is beginning to make you feel more of a connection to the characters in the book. For me a little much info to take in. Not much action in this issue but your in for one hell of an ending. You also get to witness Shane lose more of a grip and Rick really starting to guide the group in what they have to do to protect themselves from danger. I understand that Kirkman wants you to get attached and get to know all the characters in this issue and then BOOM!! but I like action and it was very slow for me until the end. The overall book however was great. I gave it a  4.5 out of 5.  
     
    Thanks for Reading :)  KOZ                                                     Happy Collecting everyone!!!
