FINALLY! After finding the book sold out everywhere for weeks, I was able to lay my grubby hands on a copy of The Walking dead trade paperback volume 9. I tore right through it in record time when I got home. Ever since volume 4 I have read every volume of The Walking Dead in 1 sitting. it demands it. It’s that good.
The Unbearable cruelty of a world gone mad continues to grind away at our main character Rick Grimes and his son. After losing everything in the cataclysmic ending to volume 8, they continue on as best they can. New characters are intruduced, who may actually have some idea what has made the world into the nightmare it has become. I really don’t dare say anymore than that. I love this series too much to risk spoiling anything.
After the shocking end of volume 8, I wasn’t sure how Kirkman could maintain the intensity, but he sure has. As always the art provided by Adlard and Rathburn put you right there into the terrifying world of the zombie apocalypse. and I really mean it, This book… a black and white comic book… might just make you jump every now and then!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
