I like Pete Woods' art, but it'd be like ten times better if he learned to use a ruler.

Hahahahaha! Yeah, the art on the Superman books is lacking, as is direction. I mean, all the people defending this are like "Yeah, they're doing something new though!" So? Old was selling just as good.

I'm going to say something I never thought I'd say about The Walking Dead.

Issue 61 was not very good. There were plenty of interesting bits here and there, but the issue felt incredibly disjointed and the jumps through time were erratic. I don't know why one of the twins killed the other, and I'm not entirely sure Kirkman does either. Speaking of, his constant fan-******* of Y: The Last Man in the letter column, which truly is a masterpiece, started off as something sincere, and then quickly devolved into something seemingly less-than. Not impressed, buddy. Not at all.

I just read this last night, and have to agree. This is the worst issue of Walking Dead I've read. I didn't like the previous issue where you saw the one twin killing one of the cats; then, how this issue, it jumps to him killing the other twin. It was too creepy, and it really seemed to go to fast and too far. It just left me wtih a bad taste in my mouth. (Not to mention the fact that the main character's son then takes a gun and kills the other twin.)

This comic has lost it's heart and soul. Kirkman killed off so many characters in the prison, that I have now found myself not caring about the rest of the survivors. I don't think a single one of the characters are sympathetic anymore.

It's too bad. This was one of my top 5 comics I read each month. Now, I hate to see what he's going to write next.
