I like them a lot but was a bit disappointed with the whole thing after the helicopter crash.

Mainly, up until this point, it was different than other end of the world type stories - and then...a group of people comes into the story that fits the old plot device (bunch of guys who like to torture/rape/kill/etc). I can see some realism to there people being like that, just not sure it really fit with other things going on.

Will see how it goes in the rest of the issues (mine are all on the computer, using Sumatra to view them).

Better than the tv show IMHO though

and have been watching the show.

Love the comic, so so on the show.

The show so far (on the farm) has been green acres zombies to me.

They need to leave the farm already.

and the search for Sofia (why they went the route with her I will never know. I like the comic story better), went on way too long.

Did you read the interview the Frank Darabount (sp)?

Oh how I wish he was still the show runner.
