Man, it is getting easy to write Walking Dead reviews. Robert Kirkman is simply creating one of the most consistent, compelling serials I've ever read. Every single month this is one of the best comics I read.Things are going to get hairy in the Community. Rick and Abraham are doing their best to clean up after the shootout at the front gate last issue, but I'm not sure it's going to work. Abraham in particular is taking a strong stand, heading out with a huge crew to scrape off any zombies that were drawn by the gunfire. Unfortunately, it looks like a huge swarm has arrived. I think the work teams have a good chance to get back inside, especially with Rick and Michonne clearing the way for them. I'm more worried about Andrea. She's going to be trapped over in her sniper tower, and with that many zombies packed in outside, she's not going to be able to get back.
Kirkman throws in more details that make the book so compelling. We hear about a failed recruiting mission, we see more fallout from the mysterious Davidson, and we start to learn a bit more about some of the other members of the Community. I also love seeing Carl, Rick, and the others getting comfortable now that the situation is dangerous. Actually, it seems Michonne has adjusted quite well to a "normal" life, I'm going to be sad to see her have to deal with this zombie horde.
Charlie Adlard does another bang-up job. The closing splash does a nice job in both establishing the current threat and setting the location of the Community.
Excellent
