Michonne is in da house and badass as ever. As usual, there's a lot of fighting (Rick and Tyreese you guys, ugh). A lot of questions if Rick can decide this, decide that. Lori being annoying as ever. Rick falling from the first floor of the prison concrete floor and not having anything broken? Seriously? Okay, it's a comic about Zombies but still.
Kind of a boring one. Although it does give a lot of insight into Rick and his struggles with being the leader.
This book our survivors are all about the desperation as the interpersonal battles rise to violence. Not many zombies here, the threat is more personal.
"We become them!" exclaims a beat-up Rick Grimes. "You think we hide behind walls to protect us from the walking dead! Don't you get it? We are the walking dead!" As much as I've hated Robert Kirkman's inability to tell a great story, I have to admit it that the six issues collected in the fourth volume of The Walking Dead series is the best thus far. We're finally hitting the primal instinct, the savage within all the characters that had laid dormant until the last panels feature Rick's realization and damning all hopes out of the everyone's mind. Unlike his television alter ego - though you can see it peeking through with the mid-season finale when he guns down the child-zombie - the comic series Rick knows what lays in wait. He's accepted that the world order that we've grown accustomed to is over. There isn't much of any hope left and all that there is left to do is survive.
Any zombie enthusiast will tell you that zombies are only plays a small horror percentage in the story. Most of the horror comes not from the flesh eating creatures, but from humanity. Or the fall of it. The reason why The Walking Dead bothered me so much is that it never shone through. Sure, with Shane going mental in the first book and Hershel's damning naivete have pushed the story through, it was never enough to actually do much of anything. And like any plot device, it was quickly extinguished. Snubbed out.
With Rick's fall - or delightenment (as oppose to enlightenment) at the tail-end of issue #24, the actual horror can begin - I just hope that Kirkman can continue it with such grace.

Emotions and insanity has been rising since the group arrived at the prison. Dexter is having his hand at leading, but Rick will take any opportunity to protect the people.
Disclaimer: I noticed that the women end up doing the washing and don't want to vote. They would rather the men do the voting. The only strong female is the one who does the best shooting.
This has been a pet peeve with me for the tv series as well. All you have to do is watch the first scene with the two cops talking in their car. It's clear to me. I don't know how many other people have noticed it because a lot of people are still watching the show.

So much things happens in all these graphic novels it's crazy how much action there's in it! I think it might be one of my favorite so far! I loved to see Michonne even if she's different than her character in the tv show ! She's one of my favorite so I can't wait to see what she'll be up to in the next ones !
I had mixed emotions on this installment of walking dead. On the one hand, Kirkman does an amazing job exploring the human psyche and how savage humanity has become living among zombies. I like the depth and new viciousness of Rick's character as well as his understanding that they are all exactly like the zombies surrounding them.
However, there's not a whole lot of action nor a change of scenery like they had in book 3. Additionally, even though the characters take on a new level of inhumanity, it's all rather unexpected.

The best volume thus far. Crazy, grim & utterly devastating.

agora acho que cheguei numa parte inédita e meu deus a carol é insuportável e eu agradeço aos roteiristas da série pela mudança total que eles fizeram
o rick surtou real, mas ele não ta de todo errado e o discurso dele no final mano O PATRÃO DO APOCALIPSE WE ARE THE WALKING DEAD
enfim amo as discussões sobre o estado natural humano x a importância do Estado para impedir a sociedade de virar selvagem, quem acha que twd é sobre os zumbis é porque nunca assistiu/leu pra ver que na verdade é sobre humanidade e sociedade
