  Comics Bulletin - Robert Murray

  All I can say about this series and this issue is that it is pure dumb fun, and if you open the cover knowing this then you should enjoy the contents within. The art is very good and accessible, even though Moore has done better work since in the pages of The Walking Dead. Also, Kirkmans writing is fast-paced and full of fanboy humor that should please fans of his current writing, even though the maturity is nowhere near that of Invincible and Ultimate X-Men. This is an episode of Family Guy in comic book form, with the same need for shocking offensiveness. For example, issue #7 contains: the Pope at a bar, the same Pope propositioning six women for sex, Jesus depositing an enormous "bowel movement" in a toilet, and the Pope using an old lady as a bludgeon. If any of these aforementioned occurrences offends you, dont buy this issue. Otherwise, remember that Kirkman and Moore have another series out right now, The Walking Dead, that is a much better read and is fifty cents less Read Full Review
