- The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living.
- In this volume of the NYT bestselling survival horror, Rick and his band of survivors work to build a larger network of thriving communities, and soon discover that Negan's "Saviors" prove to be a larger threat than they could have fathomed. Crossing Negan will lead to serious, dire consequences for the group; it seems that for the first time since the Governor's reign of terror that Rick may have Something to Fear.

"As other reviews note, this installment delivers. At times, it seemed like Kirkman himself was speaking via Negan's character to some fans' complaints about the series going stale/rehashing old territory. To the contrary, this sets a new, more viscious tone for the series; the ending, once again, left me wanting more (dern you Kirkman, lol). What happened in this volume -- no spoilers, you'll need to read it -- created lots of space for character development and conflict. The fact that Kirkman and Adlard still deliver exciting stories after 100 issues is nothing sort of amazing. Their work on the Walking Dead is the best long-term run/on-going comic book collaboration ever (even better than Lee-Kirby's seminal run on FF). Definitely start at the beginning with the hardcovers or Omnibus editions if you've just found the comic due to the TV series. Highly recommended, but not for the faint of heart."

The Walking Dead Something To Fear Vol 17 Robert Kirkman Charlie Adlard Cliff Rathburn 8601404284953 Books Reviews
- THE WALKING DEAD Vol. 17 Something to Fear (issues 97-102 of the monthly series) and all I have to say is WHAT!?!?!!?
I know main characters come and go in this book and we’ve seen the deaths of some beloved characters, and while I was shocked at the first death of a minor/major character, the second death of a MAJOR character in this book floored me.
How could he?
Sigh.
So Rick and company have met up with the folks at the Hilltop community and have worked out a trade agreement. The Hilltop supplies Alexandria with food to get them through the winter and in return Rick and the rest of the Alexandrians will protect the Hilltop from Negan and the Saviors, a band of survivors who’ve come together and are strong-arming the other neighboring communities by offering “protection†(from the Saviors) in return for half of everything.
But when Negan’s goons stop Rick and Co. on the road back home and make the same threat, Rick and Co. don’t bow down so quickly. They do allow one of Negan’s men to escape, though, and relay the message “I’m told Negan is running some kind of protection racket. Well, clearly--we don’t need any protection. Effective immediately we’re taking over the protection of the Hilltop. You get NOTHING. Understand? Pass that along to Negan. Also, while you’re at it, we’ll offer you the same deal you offered the Hilltop. Half of your supplies…and we’ll protect you.â€
It’s one of Rick’s biggest FK YEAH moments of the series, solidifies him as a rock solid badass, and also makes things go very very VERY bad for everyone involved. What he didn’t know was that Negan and the Saviors aren’t some fly-by-night ragtag band of street toughs. The Saviors are 100 strong, at least. And when they mount a two-pronged attack, Rick realizes just how outmatched he is.
You know, I liked this book from the beginning, but these later volumes are just addictive. Kirkman has really made leaps and bounds in the drama and characterization. It’s getting harder and harder, in fact, to stop long enough to review each volume before moving onto the next. I find myself constantly thinking, “Well, I don’t HAVE to review EVERY volume, I could move on to the next and just stop reviewing. Who’s gonna notice?â€
I’d notice. And I can’t have that, so I review on. But, yeah, as good as the book has been lately, as tough as Rick has been, as cohesive as the group as a whole has been, I just want to keep reading.
However, if the TV show plays out anything like what happened in this volume, I’m going to be one very unhappy viewer!
Charlie Adlard is also making great strides here, expressing a ton of information with a simple gesture or facial expression. The confrontation with Negan and his men on the road to the Hilltop is one of the best 22-page spreads I’ve seen, probably ever.
If you haven’t been reading THE WALKING DEAD, you’re only doing yourself a disservice, not because the book will change your life or anything, but because you can’t work yourself up to these last few volumes, and they are simply outstanding lately. On to the next one!

http//www./review/RI9DY5XR0YFEI - I've purchased all volumes up to 22 and the TV show has just about caught up to wear I am in the novels. These books are friggen awesome. I don't read much and my buddy lent me VOL 1 after he knew I liked the show. Well, I burned through the first one and then just went on a tear buying 4 volumes at a time...the price is pretty good for what you get out of these. $9-$15 is the range I've paid per novel, I'm not sure why they aren't the same but anyways, I keep buying them none the less. The story was written before the TV Show and the show follows the story but there is some differences. The written story is more violent and graphic then the tv show but the tv show does a decent job of sticking with main ideas. I've noticed that certain plot things that happen in the book also happen in the show but there is a unique twist like a different character it happens to or something like that. Which makes reading these volumes great cuz I have some idea of where the story is going (after having watched all tv episodes) but there are still surprises. If you like the TV show and haven't read these, give it a try and you will get a whole new experience of the Walking Dead story. I'm putting this same review under every volume I've purchased (1-22) so people can see it. go buy these!
- Collecting The Walking Dead #97-102
Rick's survivors and some allies find themselves up against a force worse than zombies, worse even than the Governor Negan and what appears to be an army of people bent on exacting tribute from other survivors. The Darwinian logic that has whittled down the cast in this series has increased the pressure to survive or get of the way.
If you're new to the series, this novel will be tour-de-force of post-apocalyptic tension. Relationships are fleeting and death is around every corner. There are only a handful of main characters to keep track of, so I believe it will be very accessible. That said, The Walking Dead feels past its prime. If you have followed the series for some time, there is very little new tension here. Hope is offered to readers one more time at the end of the novel. I find myself pulling for Rick (still), but I also feel that the series is very much in danger of falling into a trap where it becomes a new way to sadistically torture increasingly stereotypical characters.
For this reader, I am still emotionally invested in the series. I held on tight between pages as the action unfolded, and I am counting down days until the next graphic novel comes out (see The Walking Dead, Vol. 18 ) so it was a great value and a great deal of fun to read. But I am beginning to become concerned because I feel a trajectory of hope and punishment becoming established without any direction for the plot. - As other reviews note, this installment delivers. At times, it seemed like Kirkman himself was speaking via Negan's character to some fans' complaints about the series going stale/rehashing old territory. To the contrary, this sets a new, more viscious tone for the series; the ending, once again, left me wanting more (dern you Kirkman, lol). What happened in this volume -- no spoilers, you'll need to read it -- created lots of space for character development and conflict. The fact that Kirkman and Adlard still deliver exciting stories after 100 issues is nothing sort of amazing. Their work on the Walking Dead is the best long-term run/on-going comic book collaboration ever (even better than Lee-Kirby's seminal run on FF). Definitely start at the beginning with the hardcovers or Omnibus editions if you've just found the comic due to the TV series. Highly recommended, but not for the faint of heart.
