Comment on The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor – Novel Review by Bogey-Man

For my part, I had trouble getting interested by this novel I guess I’m to much of a comic book reader and find it difficult for novels to keep me interested.
It took me nearly a month to finish it.
But the three last chapters were worth it all by themselves ..This plot twist made it all good for me, I did’nt see it coming at all and for this reason only i’d recommend it to all Walking dead fans

Ha, I actually almost said something to that affect about the words at the bottom of the page. But I think that along with the narration, they underscore the difference in the dramatic tension the book is going for and the lack of dramatic tension that’s present. Sigh. One more month, then I’m probably moving on.

Well he was an old man who survived being essentially blown up, before living for another 40 years without aging. Snyder has said that there may be more arcs of Severed, so that might be why.

I felt the same way about that one page. It was just done drawn weird. But besides that, top notch art that is a nice change of pace from your average book. I don’t know if I believe that he is supernatural or immortal. He may just be a little delusional or skitzo or crazy like most killers tend to be.

This was a good issue, except for a couple wonky storytelling pages, like the splash page where Jack first cuts the killer, it was hard to tell what was going on, and I actually didn’t like the supernatural twist. It actually makes him less scary. I thought he was scary because he was just some guy who will just kill you for no reason. Making him immortal feels kind of cliche. I was hoping Severed would be more like Criminal, in that there would be different miniseries with different stories with similar settings or themes. I don’t know if I would just want this same killer again.

Comment on Northlanders #48 – Review by John McComas

Agreed. I read ‘em both. Unlike many, I dig the pacing of Unwritten, which I’ve followed since about #15 or so. I’d be cool with it wrapping up in the #40s range, as it does seem to be amping up quite a bit. But with Sweet Tooth (the only non-Terry Moore comic my girlfriend reads) I’d be devastated if it doesn’t hit the #50 mark or better. Lemire is so bloody good at long-form…BKV good. But the realities of the Vertigo imprint (only a handful of titles have broken the 4 year barrier), the industry-at-large, his ever-increasing role at DC proper and the peculiar taxations to time and effort of the writer-artist will undoubtedly abbreviate Sweet Tooth. That said, if it doesn’t at least hit #50, it’ll be a travesty.

Yeah….and it also seems like Sweet Tooth and The Unwritten COULD be in a wrapping up phase too. Don’t know if you read those or not, but if they end, in the next year it puts a LOT of pressure on these new Vertigo titles to be solid.

Sorry about the mis-numbering error above. I conflated the end # of my other favorite Vertigo title (Scalped, of course) with Northlanders. Now that I’ve officially come to grips with the sad inevitability of the ends of my two favorite ongoings, I’m going to go curl up on my bed, weep openly and clutch the (figurative) throw pillow with these words (figuratively) stitched on it: Saucer Country. New Deadwardians. Soon.
