The Walking Dead #50 | Thread profile

There is really no other way to begin this review than to remind everyone how much I have been anticipating this issue. Everything else I write is based on that simple premise. First of all if you haven't read issue #50 then I will go ahead and say the painful truth, lower your expectations. It really isn't worthy of the hype that it has been given and it is a bit of a letdown for a 50th issue....

Hi, i know this is probably NOT the place to ask this.. Im sorry, if this messsage is not allowed please delete it. I live in mexico, and its imposible to find any comic that is not Marvel or DC, and those came here 1 year after they publish it on the US, hehe.. but thats not fine. Anyways.. im the BIGEST fan of TWD in whole Mexico! haha Unfortunately the only way to get the comic...

I loved it, but i can empathize with Carl. He's going to be a very interesting character over the next bunch of issues.

Solid issue, but I agree that it was missing the impact that a 50th issue should have. It was also a lean issue, let alone a lean #50. It was great to see Carl have to do things on his own, though, and, damn, I loved that moment where he just vents.

Decent enough issue, but yeah ... the relatively unenthusiastic reactions above pretty much mirror my own. And even though I think very highly of the comic per se, I think very little of it as value for money & am probably dropping it as of this ish. I read the entirety of #50 at a couple of red lights yesterday evening, which works out to the usual less-than-5-minutes I spend on every ...

This was a good issue. The pacing was just right. Over the last 4-5 issues, everybody was dying, you didn't know who was next (was it your favorite character?), nothing was certain and everything was a shock. Now, its slowed down a bit to develop the character of Carl. Like I said, good pacing. And I don't read this issue as "Issue 50 has to be something special" like other comics do. I ...

I read it as a story and issue 50 is just a number.So, this part of the story worked well for me. I might have read it as just another number too if Kirkman hadn't himself ...
