Walkind Dead #63

So much for my theory that the "Hunters" were just another group of survivors that had been scarred by similar circumstances as our main group! Dale isn't being grilled for information like I thought, what is happening is much worse.

We also find out more about the newest addition to the group when the preacher explains why he deserves to die. It turns out he turned the other cheek and let his congregation suffer outside the church while he remained barricaded inside and hoarded food to ensure his own survival. It's a pretty scummy thing to do, but I don't know that any of the cast is innocent at this point, so I'm curious to see if they allow him to come along with them. The meat of the issue is the revelation of the hunters and their motivations. It's a post-apocalyptic staple to include this type of survivor, so I'm hungry to see how Kirkman handles these guys going forward.

Charlie Adlard's pencils are well done as always. He really nails the closing scene perfectly, and the big reveal should leave you feeling sick to your stomach.

Good
