Rich helps us get ready for one of the biggest events of the summer with an advance review of the issue leading up to it: The Walking Dead is about to become the most popular monthly comic in the comics industry, even if it is just for one issue. But that is issue one hundred. I've just read issue 99.No spoilers here. Not, at least, for those who have read issue 98. If you've only seen the TV show, then even the covers of issue 100 will be spoilery.

It dates back to early 80s and predates both Robert Zemeckis and animation director Richard Williams' involvement.

It would be easy to be fooled by the Independent Of Sunday's headline. This comic contains, after all, a plot that has been set up across the decades by the previous books, 1910 and 1969. But The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen Century 2009 is so much more… and for those who feel media coverage has spoiled this book at all, I disagree completely. I'd read everything, yet going in I found acres of surprise – and an amazing, wonderful and awe inspiring finale. Which I am most definitely not going to spoil for you. Merely to say, I don't know if the phrase "deus ex machina" has ever been used quite so accurately.
