The Walking Dead - Season 8
The Walking Dead - Season 8
2017 | Drama, Horror
The final 3 episodes (0 more)
Drawn out for far too long, at least 8 episodes could have been cut without anything being lost (0 more)
By far the worst series yet
The latest series of the zombie thriller follows on from series 7, with Negan still in power and demanding tribute from the communities. Though those communities are now starting to rebel and fight back. The series is something of a roller coaster with ups and downs, but few twists or turns. The action plods along for the most part and only 4 or 5 episodes really excite or add much to the storyline. I think this series has stuck closer to the comics than previous ones, though the comics did not drag the action out as long.

I'm yet to the watch the season finale but I'm in no rush to see it either, which is completely different from how I've been with previous seasons. This season has been a big disappointment for me

I agree, though I promise you the finale is more action-packed than most of the series has been, though I know a few people who were not happy with how it ended.

I LOVED IT
This show is based on the comics of the same name, by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and retains all the black humour, sick scenes and top notch dialogue of the comics.
The plot sees Preacher Jesse Custer somehow imbued with Genesis, a divine presence that gives him the power to tell people what to do. His conflict with local businessman (meat and electricity, what an empire!), Quincannon sees him try to use Genesis to convince the town that God exists.
This is a gritty, dark comedy with moments of genuine laugh out loud jokes as well as truly disturbing but life-like scenes.
Given how well this was delivered, I cannot wait to see how Amazon's treatment of The Boys plays out!
  
Collecting Darth Vader comics issues 7-12, these are all set after 'A New Hope', but before 'The Empire Strikes Back', with Vader still on the tail of the daring rebel who blew up the first Death Star, and with him now knowing that that rebel is, in fact, his son that he never knew he had.

That mission, however, is not the front-and-centre over-arching plot strand of this collection: rather, we have Vader engineering a theft from the Empire, and then trying to cover that theft up when he is tasked, alongside a zealous aide, to find out just who had done so.

Not bad, but not the best of the new Star Wars line comics I've read.
