The Walking Dead Volume 5: the Best Defense

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 over-all story of the Walking Dead and it sets the stage for years to come.

This series has been enormously popular with our readers and pitched Image into the top twenty bestselling graphic novels in the US for 2005. I've been following it and become utterly engrossed with it - although it pays homage to the touchstones of the modern zombie genre Robert Kirkman makes it very much its own, original work.

Unlike most zombie movies we really get a chance to open up both story and characters and you find yourself drawn into it, wondering how would people react to the unthinkable? And what do you do when the unthinkable event just goes on and on and on with no sign of normalcy ever returning? Like George Romero's zombie films this has true horror but also heart and intelligence.

This fifth volume collects issues #25 through to #30 and features art from Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn.
