The Walking Dead #100- So, finally got around to reading this. I'll admit, since this came out while I was on vaycay, I ended up getting spoiled for what happened. Even so though, I was still not prepared. Like seriously, that has got to be one of the most horrifying things, I've ever seen in comics, ever. And I've read most of the Crossed stuff! Maybe its because in that series, you know everyone there is most likely effed (a lot of times, literally, with things, that putting it gently, are not compatible), its just a matter of when. In the Walking Dead, you've gotten to know the gang, and while folks die in this comic all the time, some have survived a long time, so its all the more shocking when they finally do go out.
And I forget, its those "survivors" who go out the most horrifically. This will definitely go down as one of the most memorable moments in the series, I think.
So, what happened? ( spoiler cut )
Of course, as much as I enjoy this comic, part of me wishes it would end. Its like, where is there to go? A good day is basically them not dying horribly. Its all just so depressing when it seems all that's coming is more horrific deaths, maybe they get revenge for those, and those that survive will only have the next enemy to deal with, who will kill more of them, lather, rinse, repeat. Its just so emotionally taxing.
Speaking of emotionally taxing, Fun. has a new video out for their latest single, Some Nights:
I think I've said before on here that I really like this song, and how it gives me feels, and the video only more so. Sure, the one guy didn't have some lady waiting for him, but he had a good life back home, a nice farm, horses. Its prolly as good a life as anyone could hope for back then. And just to see that one point where his face crumples in awe over the beauty in this world in the flashback, only to get killed by the other guy is just so sad.
I know, you're thinking, what are you, that one chick in Mean Girls who doesn't even go there:
