Just finished the second issue, good books. I'm glad he has a family, it's so rare to see a good supporting cast nowadays.
I finally read issue #2 and I don't understand why there is such a schism between those who liked it and those who didn't. While the silent pages aren't necessarily my cup of tea, they were fine for what was being done storywise.
And once the words started in full, I thought it was an interesting way to reveal some of the new status quo after the graphic novel intro.
I liked it and I'll continue reading.
Beth Hart - Fire On The Floor CD Review
Beth Hart February 23rd, 2017 Boston, MA Concert Review
"I can't complain. I got to be Jim Morrison for the first half of my life, and Ward Cleaver for the second half." - Warren Zevon.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
I was saying the turns taken so far are cliches, which objectively they have been and that because there have been so many so far with such consistency I expect that it won't change which is much different than saying nothing it can do could ever be anything but a cliche.
Could I be wrong? Certainly, I don't claim to know the future...but I just don't share the hope that you do that things will move beyond what we've gotten so far.
I for one certainly wasn’t expecting to see the book jump years into the future to see the same protagonist now settled down and with a family. Nothing in the book prior said to me it would be going that way.
^^ Yup! Same here.
Reading through the comments it's evident that as with most things, one's enjoyment of the series boils down to, amongst others, (1) personal tastes and (2) expectations - irrespective of how founded/unfounded they are.
Notwithstanding, looking forward to reading more. Not sure Kirkman has disappointed me yet. And of course Samnee's art...
I certainly wasn't expecting it either and it originally made me feel like we were going to get something really interesting, but it ultimately just did what it did before and fell in into playing to the same plot beats as True Lies/The Pacifier/The Spy Next Door and dozens of other films and books with out out saying something new.
But he is not living a secret life like True Lies/Spy Next Door. And his wife knows who he is. He has given up his life at the Temple after whatever happened there. I guess Kirkman could have turned it into Blondie, with nothing of his former life coming back, but for this to be a Kung Fu book, there needs to be ...Kung Fu. Unless he fights Aliens.

For those who thought the fight was too much in issue 2, issue 3 does a deep dive on the family. Mom on patrol dad with the kids then the family together. We see another past character (don't want to spoil anything) Reading this issue had me smiling, loved it
What do we think of issue #4.
I thought it continues to be different from the typical Kung Fu action story. Concentrating on the marriage and family in this issue.
