Walking Dead #84


And once again Robert Kirkman surprises me. I was certain that the No Way Out story was going to set our survivors back out on the road, with the core cast basically intact, plus or minus one. That's not the direction the book goes in, though. Instead, Kirkman does some neat stuff with Rick's outlook and with the whole survivor mentality. And man, Abraham really has turned into an acceptable Tyreese replacement now, hasn't he?

It really is great seeing the Community come together the way they do. And that almost every one of them was ticked about having to leave their haven to go help Rick and Michonne. But man, what a rewarding scene when everyone worked together... great stuff.

Charlie Adlard gets to draw lots of action and lots of zombies this month, and hoo boy, is it fantastic. I'm sure original art for this book is tremendously expensive now, but man, I'd love a page from this issue.

Excellent
