Perhaps the most graphic and disturbing volume of the series so far. We're asked to draw parallels between the savage instinct for survival possessed by both the zombies and our heroes.

I still find myself tiresomely irritated by the quality of the illustration. ( )

Most comic series sag at some point, and the author introduces some fresh situation to keep it lively. Here the fine folks who are living behind bars to stay safe from the zombies see a helicopter fly overhead, and three of them go to investigate it.

What follows is as horrific as the Zombies who lurk outside the safe gates of the prison. Any possibly more dangerous.

If there were an apocalypse, what would happen to basic human behavior. The answer in this part of the series is not hopeful. ( )

So far speeking in terms of art and interplay of charicters I think this is somewhat weaker then the other in the series so far. But The main theme of the walking dead series seems to be to keep us guessing and it's done well so far. The story has expanded beyoned the prision and makes another group of people seem much more threatening and dangerous than the Zombies could ever be, and enough has changed to only keep wondering what could possibly happen next. At the moment I feel like this is the only graphic novel series really worth reading that I know of that I haven't read before. ( )

As the survivors settle into their prison home something has drawn them out into the open... out of the prison... out of their sanctuary. This is a major turning point for the overall story of The Walking Dead, setting the stage for years to come.
