And I have indeed seen *The Road*, and I agree... probably the most likely portrayal of post-apocalyptic life. I haven't read the book, but now that you mention it, I imagine I will. After I finish The Count of Monte Cristo, that is (only about 800 pages to go!).Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-54300096012445927632015-12-01T16:37:49.135-06:002015-12-01T16:37:49.135-06:00Wayne Boring really didn't "get" Bat...Wayne Boring really didn't "get" Batman, did he?

One clever thing about these issues is that Edge sends Kent halfway around the globe to cover events, so he could just set the old 8mm on record and go fight whatever menace, instead of throwing up blood and pretending he has a cold. What else could that red splotch be, unless Perry threw up that fruit he ate.<br /><br />Re: TWD. I think the violence you refer to never appeared in the comic. The story line at Terminus and then later the Wolves were never in the comic, the latter case involved characters that were killed off in a few pages. It appeals to the right demographic, which I'm well past, and it is interesting to see the different ways that people attempt to survive. The Wolves are almost tribal. The thing I'd like to see, just as I would buy a few one-shots, would be a bunch of nice, peaceful 15 minute webisodes that they would have no reason to fit into the show. Like in-between or off-screen stuff. <br /><br />Not trying to re-convert you, but if you ever give Cormac McCarthy's THE ROAD a try, book and then film, I think that is the only book I've read where I honestly thought about how I know this is how we are all going to end up.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-4351657025348069302015-12-01T09:50:24.629-06:002015-12-01T09:50:24.629-06:00IKR?

Beloved and I only got through the end of the second episode before we looked at each other and decided that while we really enjoyed it for a time, it had gone from brainless zombies instinctively doing what brainless zombies do to regular people being incredibly cruel to each other. We can handle violence... heck, we ended up binging on the third season of Vikings. But we don't like seeing people victimized so we avoid shows like that. It's a shame.Adam Barnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573914395859734760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445236716513895247.post-80687834590817054692015-12-01T05:58:16.456-06:002015-12-01T05:58:16.456-06:00I felt the same way about The Walking Dead season ...I felt the same way about The Walking Dead season 5 when it was broadcast and have pretty much dropped the show by now. It just got too ugly, and when it isn't actively unpleasant it feels as if it's got nowhere left to go.Gummbootehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492251103325858223noreply@blogger.com
