Format:Paperback
If you have been a fan of this series so far you are unlikely to be disappointed by this latest instalment.
Kirkman's zombie apocalypse storyline has reached a point where the zombies themselves are almost just an incidental backdrop to the main story of the survivor's descent into savagery and tribalism.
The violence depicted over a number of consecutive pages in this book goes far beyond what has been depicted in previous volumes and is all the more disturbing as it is difficult for the reader not to feel that the victim is deserving of the fate that they have bought upon themself.
What follows these scenes is easily thrilling enough to get the story moving along again and leave you eager to find out what will follow in the next volume.

This is an excellent series - definitely worth buying - but there were parts in this episode that were pretty much torture porn. It's a difficult area - I wouldn't pretend it's black and white. Zombies biting or attacking the living - quite thrilling, but a rape victim taking her revenge in graphic detail with drills and diy tools - gratuitously unpleasant. It's maybe not logical for a reader of a zombie epic to criticize some of the violence, but nonetheless in this comic I think it goes too far. The writer tries to build the moral questions of the limits of revenge into the victim / torturer's character, but, personally, I think that doesn't wash. That aside, the story is as excellent as the others in the series.

The Walking Dead is a great ride but it is a very bumpy one emotionally. This is quite a tough volume to get through. As an author you want to affect your reader but not so traumatically you alienate them. There is a nine page graphic torture scene that leaves any sane person unsettled. As a reader you are asking yourself was it really necessary. A good writer or artist could convey the same meanings using the "less is more" approach. But Kirkman is bravely teaching us to face up to this brutal new world and asking us to look inside ourselves and see where we would draw the line. These questions are echoed later on as more lives are lost. Our heroes aren't heroic any more but have they become savages quite yet?
The art is still on top form. There are some great shocks and cliff hangers. Just as you get comfortable another jolt is thrown in to remind you that this world is a dangerous, unpredictable place. But there is hope. No matter how dark things get, and they are pretty black now, there are tiny rays of hope and joy in these characters' lives. For goodness sake don't stop reading now. Thumbs Up!

Good, but very violent
I am enjoying this series and will continue reading it. But I am finding the high level of violence quite difficult. This surprises me, as usually I love a zombie smash-up. Read more
