Robert Kirkman is an American comic book writer best known for his work on The Walking Dead, Invincible for Image Comics, as well as Ultimate X-Men and Marvel Zombies for Marvel Comics. He has also collaborated with Image Comics co-founder Todd McFarlane on the series Haunt. He is one of the five partners of Image Comics, and the only one of the five who was not one of the original co-founders of that publisher.
Robert Kirkman's first comic books were self-published under his own Funk-o-Tron label. Along with childhood friend Tony Moore, Kirkman created Battle Pope which was published in late 2001. Battle Pope ran for over 2 years along with other Funk-o-Tron published books such as InkPunks and Double Take.
In July of 2002, Robert's first work for another company began, with a 4-part SuperPatriot series for Image, along with Battle Pope backup story artist Cory Walker. Robert's creator-owned projects followed shortly thereafter, including Tech Jacket, Invincible and Walking Dead.
First of all, I want to thank Goodreads for finally giving the opportunity to rate books exactly how ever I want. A feature that I've wanted this site to have since I joined here in 2014...
I had to look up have I missed a book in between this and the previous one, because this felt so... not related. A big leap. (I hadn't.) And I didn't like the artwork. It's not bad, I just personally don't like the style. Also, I really don't like when this over-sexualises women once in a while. Don't get me wrong. I am a woman, yes, but I love sexy woman too, just not in this series. It breaks this immersion. For me, this is mostly a coming-of-age story dressed in a superhero comics cape. Once I settled in after a hard battle in the beginning (my personal reading battle with this), the story still grabbed me in. Kirkman is a good storyteller. 2,75 stars out of 5 (in the old version I would have given 3)
After the Conquest storyline, I was really worried that this storyline would just go chasing for the next big event RIGHT after.
And while it did in the form of the Viltrumite War (which was definitely a weaker storyline for me), this was definitelyyyy a return to form. Slowly brings down the stakes of the story and grounds us, while starting to build up and tease new storylines that I know will hit once all is revealed.
One of my favorite things about comics is how they can seemingly adapt to audience reception in real time, and that’s definitely at play here. After 80-something issued and countless storylines, where can a story like this go? Obviously, we know that there is a lot more story to go here, but I love that I know this story so much I can feel exactly what the creative team is trying to say and what it’s telling its readers and the industry at large.
I can not WAIT to get to Volume 15 and Volume 16 when it releases at my local comic book shop next week.
I couldn’t find a softcover of 13 so I’ve had to buy volume 14. Even though I’ve skipped some of the story, this has been a superb read.
So issue 79 is when Kirkman and co made Atom Eve, thick, “Does my Skirt make my butt look bigger”. Definitely started drawing her curvier. Mark and Eve’s abortion reveal was really well handled. Rex & Amanda’s storyline in these issues are interesting to read. There’s such good writing here.
I thought this had a great cliffhanger reveal and decision. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes.
