Books like The Walking Dead, Vol. 4: The Heart's Desire

This comic reads like it's been written by a 15 year old boy with a constant erection. The Walking Dead is a great premise poorly executed. The characters are insipid, with no defining qualities to empathise with. The plot rapidly and repeatedly flits between killing and sex, with little meaning or worthwhile emotion given to either. This volume is particularly bad, portraying every character as sex-crazed. Almost every adult character has had sex, often with different partners, as if in a world of only 20 people everyone would just naturally and happily pair off. Carol has now had sex with Tyrese, kissed Lori and kissed Rick. It has the plot of a Jilly Cooper novel, with everyone wildly having sex with everyone at the drop of a hat, and talking in the most clichéd way possible about their sexual desire and exploits. I don't deny the importance of characters having sex, and appreciate it's an animal instinct that could offer some rare enjoyment in an apocalyptic world, but the frequency and tactlessness is ridiculous. Their friends are dying all around them, and yet they still have wild sexual urges. I'm pretty sure that's not how grief works. The female characters are so paper-thin and sex hungry that it feels like the writers have never actually met a woman in real life.When they do attempt philosophy or feelings, it's written in the most formulaic clichéd way, it makes my skin crawl. The action moves so quickly from one death to the next, that often characters aren't even around long enough to learn their name, let alone get remotely invested in them, and therefore as a reader you simply don't care when they die.
