The Walking Dead #44

I finally caught up on all of the TPBs for "The Walking Dead" and hit real time with the monthlies this month. Issue #44 kicks off the "No One is Safe" storyline and it does so with quite a bang. Writer Robert Kirkman delivers on this title every month. He has established an interesting world to play in. All of the characters are individuals with their own agendas, backgrounds, and depth. Once again, we see that the zombies aren't the only inhuman beings inhabiting Kirkman's world. With the return of the Governor and his army, Rick's crew at the prison are in a tight spot. Kirkman does an excellent job of setting up the action and letting the scene play out in a realistic manner. Charlie Adlard continues to provide excellent art giving each character a unique look while conveying the action in an interesting manner.

"No One is Safe" is an apt tag line for what looks to be an exciting race to issue #50.
