Best Defense is best book
Part four leaves the reader feeling like things are going to be alright for our band of survivors. Volume five really changes the direction of the book, and departs from the soap opera of the previous volume. It still focuses on the human element like previous volumes, but it inserts some much needed sense of urgency. The zombies aren't as much of a threat since the survivors have learned how to deal with them. However, there are other threats out there, and our heroes find it. When I finished volume five, I rushed out and bought the next volume: because it ended with a good cliffhanger.
In my opinion, this is the best volume so far. The art is of the same quality as previous volumes, and the story is much more compelling. The new antagonist is exactly what I would expect you would find if the world went to hell. He is a crazy vicious man who does what anyone would do if they had been denied power there whole life. He is the kinda of person who was probably a loser in the real world, but thrives on the misery of others.
Best Non-Super Hero Comic!
Amazingly, this series is not about zombies. It is about the end of the world and how the remaining humans struggle to survive in this distopia. Not since "Lord of the Flies" have we seen or read about the baser nature of humanity, once modern technology and institutions are removed.
If you are a fan of "Lost" or "Battlestar Galactica", you will love "The Walking Dead". Start with "Volume 1" and enjoy!

Volume five brings in new enemies--human enemies. Again, great story and the artwork is wonderful.
