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

3.5

---

3.5 stars - This one was miles better than the fourth volume. I think it's really interesting to have a brutal and villainous antagonist that is so extreme from the zombies that have plagued them since the beginning. I remember finding the governor's storyline pretty vividly - however, I feel like the mistreatment of female characters within this series is only glorified with his disgusting actions against Michonne. Not only does it make me really uncomfortable, but I find it also highlights Kirkman's treatment of other female characters throughout the series and the way they are portrayed whether in times of happiness or duress.
