The Walking Dead #62

Written by Robert Kirkman
Art by Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn


One thing that Kirkman excels at in this series is embedding almost every scene with a certain level of suspense. This issue shows the gang still reeling from the events of last issue, and moving their way towards the church that the new preacher character lived in.

This group is squabbling more than ever as they become more and more burnt-out from the stresses of living in this world. Now though, some people are hunting them, and it looks like things are going to get worse for them again.

Adlard's work on this series is incredible as always. He does an amazing job of showing a close encounter with these hunters, as Andrea goes into the woods at night to relieve herself, and can tell she is being watched. Those pages are exceptionally tense.

This continues to be one of my top five books every month.
