Monday Trending Topics: Summer Of The Walking Dead

Monday Trending Topics: Summer Of The Walking DeadRich 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.

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.

Merely to say, I don't know if the phrase "deus ex machina" has ever been used quite so accurately.
