raychelbennet 's review for:

The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense by Robert Kirkman

2.0

Two conflicted stars for me on this one. The first four were quite enjoyable, but holy cow did this take a *dark* turn this issue. I get that it's the apocalypse and everything but sheesh. The treatment of women is icky and it leaves a lot to be desired. I think there were plenty of other routes each of the female characters could have taken and instead we got...this. Warning for everyone: quite graphic sexual assault occurs in this issue.
