The second trade paperback volume (reprinting issues 7-12 of the original comic series)of the zombie apocalypse comic saga features a group of survivors on the run, looking for some kind of sanctuary to settled down in.
A gated housing community nearly becomes a deathtrap, and the group moves on to finally locate a possible haven with another small group of survivors holed up in a farm. But the leader of the farm group has a very different view on how to deal with the walking dead.
There is a ton of good character development between the moments of danger and horror in this book. The series continues to be a story about people, rather than about the zombies. As the characters are pushed to the breaking point by and increasingly desperate situation, they make new friendships, alliances, and romances, and find their own ways to cope with the destruction around them.
Kirkman's writing is sharp, and the art team of Adlard and Rathburn capture the post-apocalyptic landscape in vivid detail.
Rating: 8/10
