The Walking Dead Book 6 by Robert Kirkman
4.0
This series draws you in and really brings it's characters to life.
This part of the series is no exception. Rick and his band of survivors come across another group that has found a much different way to survive in this scarce environment. It would be easy and understandable to go down to the basest elements when put in such a world like this new group has. Rick and Abraham do not buy the excuse of mere survival and still cling to a sense of right and wrong. Though they may even cross their own lines in dealing with this group. The mental stress of what they have to do wears on all of them.
Some may say that for a zombie comic this book has very few zombies. Truth is those people read for the wrong reasons. This is not a gore book or even an action book really. It is a character study and Kirkman creates characters that stick with you and puts them in situations that make you question your own faith and morality. This was a great story from the first issue but what makes Kirkman a great writer is that I care in issue 72 far more than I did in issue 1. Out of 70+ issues there has maybe been a handful of single issues that I felt were off or just not up to par. That is a pretty good success rate and it will keep me reading his books for years to come.
