Andrea still mourns for Dale.
Even though there have been 90 issues of zombie attacks, close calls, and surprise killings, Kirkman still manages to make the tension of a possible attack ever-present. There is one panel where someone simply questions where another character is, but the way it is scripted makes the reader wonder whether the person in question is just out of sight or being eaten by a zombie. Kirkman and Adlard are coming closer to the 100 issue mark of this incredible series, yet they continue to hit their stride with every gruesome and gutsy story arc. Read Full Review

But that's "The Walking Dead," the very definition of a roller coaster ride. This is one of those issues that will fit in well with a collection down the ride.

Don't get me wrong, The Walking Dead is still the most gripping series on the shelves. Fans like me know that whatever is going on is just a page (and sometimes a single panel) away from doing a complete 180 into utter madness and death, but the last few issues have felt a lot flatter than we're accustomed to.

Jumping on point?: Not at all. We're smack in the middle of a trade paperback, so this isn't the place to hop on. You'd honestly be best served to start with the first issue and read forward from there (it's a great ride), but if you're really stubborn, you could probably start after at issue #49 which is where the second phase of TWD began.
