The Walking Dead 08: Auge um Auge

Von Robert Kirkman und Charlie Adlard

Die Hölle, das sind die anderen! Der selbst ernannte Gouverneur und die Woodbury-Bewohner belagern das Gefängnis, in dem sich die Familie des ehemaligen Polizisten Rick Grimes und der kleinen Schar von Überlebenden verschanzt haben. In einem der dramatischsten Bände der von Fans und Kritik gleichermaßen gefeierten US-Reihe bewahrheitet sich Jean Paul Sartres berühmtes Zitat; der Mensch ist sich selbst sein größter Feind. "Auge um Auge", der vorläufige Höhepunkt einer Comicserie, die wie keine andere aufs Neue zu schockieren und zu fesseln vermag. Noch nie war "The Walking Dead" so aufregend und vernichtend zugleich. Robert Kirkman, einer der gefeiertsten Autoren seiner Zunft, mischt die Karten neu, als die trügerische Hoffnung an eine bessere Zukunft für immer zerrinnt.

Holy f***! Do. Not. Get. Attached...to anyone. The final battle between the prison community and the Governor's Woodbury fighters is brutal and proves that no character gets a free pass to safety.

We learn what the Woodbury leadership has been doing in the month or so of relative peace. And what inevitably happens next.Really violent and chaotic, this one. Even as the reader I'm not sure who is still alive and who is not.

This was so... Dark....

In this volume absolutely no-one was safe. I was utterly shocked at all of the deaths. I was expecting a showdown as I had seen the HBO show, but I was still aghast at how it all went down.

It is pointless to get attached to any of the characters, as you are never prepared for what happens to them. This would be exactly what would happen if the zombie apocalypse happened, people are savages. Absolute savages.

This series is getting darker and darker. Without revealing anything about the plot in this one I've just say that I was unpleasantly surprised by one of the plot twists herein.

Wow. Oh, jeez. Just...wow. This one was good, but oh, jeez did things go badly. Sigh.

Although I have been on the edge of my seat with The Walking Dead, I must say that Kirkman's quest for realism has left be extremely jaded. Without revealing the end or spoiling this book, I must say I was blown away by the end. I read this one in less than an hour, literally devouring each page. This has got to be the best horror comic I have ever read. READ THIS WHOLE SERIES.

Hooray! Stuff happened! Fast pacing is back!


The governor has some sort of pedophilia/incestuous thing going on with his zombie daughter? Whu? I hope I just read that wrong.

Woodbury attacks! People die all around! The damn baby dies! Lori dies! They are forced to leave the prison!

It's like Walking Dead Christmas for me!



Lots of change, lots of forward momentum, lots of death. Yayz.

Well that was bleak.It's always been one of The Walking Dead's main strengths that it doesn't shy away from the consequences of the situations into which its characters are placed. When you're under attack from overwhelming numbers and bullets are flying, there is no miraculous escape. I respect the series for that and it means the storytelling has a much more dynamic structure than most ongoing series; as in life things don't subtly evolve, they settle into something that in retrospect looks like stability – but only once some huge event (a birth, a redundancy, a massacre) comes and throws things off in a completely different direction.This is the massive end of a massive chapter of The Walking Dead and the significance of the events perhaps masks the fact that there isn't much substance to this volume beyond death – but given there are now many, many different lumps in which to consume the series I'm sure that's a feeling you only get if you're reading it in these six issue chunks. In any larger volume this will more obviously be a denouement than something that is satisfying in its own right.With only two of the main characters definitely surviving, I've genuinely no idea where the series goes from here. That's terrific storytelling, but it might also mean I have to go and listen to some happy music for a while.

Amazingly written, but traumatizing.

The Walking Dead, Volume 8, Made to Suffer is a really action-packed and shocking chapter in the Walking Dead saga. The war with the Governor’s town ignites in a deadly and devastating way for Rick’s little band of survivors. The aftermath of the battle leaves the group mourning their losses and makes the reader pessimistic about the survival of the group. It’s a truly great volume in this excellent doomsday-by-Zombies graphic-novel series.

The Governor gets patched up after Michonne's "visit," Woodbury finds the prison and attacks repeatedly, Rick is hit but recovers to find half the group gone and grabs whoever he can to get out before Woodbury breaches completely, and two terrible casualties lead to the Governor's end. Such a hectic installment - the stakes are extremely high since the Woodbury people are so well armed and it's such a loss to give up the prison. And then one of the saddest moments in the series take place in this installment too - not sure if it's even possible to read this with dry eyes, but at least the Governor makes up for it a little. A "segue" installment that makes the reader wonder, "Where do we go from here?"

Giving this issue a 5, just for going there.
