sarabook 's review for:
The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense
by Robert Kirkman
Not as entertaining as the previous instalments, I feel this is largely setting up a longer storyline with a new ‘big bad’ by laying down the groundwork of hostility and suspicion.
As always, it’s the characters that intrigue more than the zombies, and the belief that nobody should be making themselves comfortable. Things can change in the blink of an eye, and the overall tension that permeates each page helps to increase this feeling of anxiousness. You never know when, or how, a character is going to die.
This is the last comic I have (the first 5 comics I found in a charity shop for 25p each!) but I’m sorely tempted to see this through to the bittersweet end. It’s definitely kept me more enthralled than the tv series, which started to sour after the groups arrival in Woodbury and too much deviation from a solid script in the comics.
