When I heard that AMC was going to produce a television series based on the zombie epic "The Walking Dead," I was both concerned and delighted. A bona fide classic in undead lore, "The Walking Dead" graphic novels are brutal and surprising--not really what I would picture for a basic cable TV show. The first season ran with 6 episodes, and the ratings were stellar for AMC (a network known for terrific and prestigious shows like "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad"). With Frank Darabont of "Shawshank Redemption" fame as the creative force behind the show and Robert Kirkman's (the comic's creator) involvement as a writer, we have a winner gearing up for a second season--so check it out today on DVD if you haven't already!
But picking up with the graphic novels, Kirkman hits us with "Volume 14: No Way Out." Now, I have heard some disappointment about recent installments of this terrifically well-rounded series. For those looking for general mayhem and violence, the story has been producing some of the more subdued chapters of late. I have to say that initially I agreed. With Rick and clan installed in a new community, there were dozens of new characters sharing center stage. I found this off-putting at first. But what happened in "Volume 13: Too Far Gone" was far more important than just another attack. Rick's growth and character development were a highlight and how he, and the others, started to acclimatize to their new surroundings had surprising emotional resonance. The characters faced the crossroads where they were allowed to start feeling human again and started to face the moral repercussions of the things they've done and will have to continue to do in order to survive. I ended up really feeling connected with "Too Far Gone" in a surprising way.
