The Walking Dead #119 Review
Robert Kirkman does a great job of bringing the characters home in this issue, also showing the shock of some of the news they learn perfectly. There was however some developments that although shocking could have been prolonged slightly, with there being some questions left unanswered. In saying this Kirkman could very well be planning to answer these questions in a later issue, wanting to drive on the story with some shock and excitement. On top of this Kirkman also once again leaves us with a brilliant cliffhanger and I’m sure that the next issue will see a vast improvement in the overall quality of the story.
The artwork from Charlie Adlard was as usual superb, being very gritty and realistic. As usual it is the amazing layouts and the way that Adlard shows the characters emotions that impress me the most, with it really adding a lot to the overall tone of the story. Adlard also worked off Kirkman’s script brilliantly, creating some fantastic suspense throughout, with the little bits of action also adding excitement. On top of this inker Stefano Gaudiano continues to add great texture to Adlard’s art, with Cliff Rathburn as usual doing a stellar job of the grey tones.
