The Walking Dead #59
Those from the original scans_daily might remember how I'd post The Walking Dead each month. For obvious reasons, I won't be posting half the issue anymore, and four scans alone is hardly enough to recap an entire issue (which was probably the point).  So what I *might* do from now on is post one scene from the latest issue as-is. Maybe this way is the best--rather than 'catching up' through my posts instead of the actual issues, as some people have done, they'll only catch a brief glimpse of what's in store, which will hopefully provide more incentive to buy it. It's easily one of the best titles out there right now.

For a series built around zombies, some have been surprised and even put off considering how a majority of the series focuses on the relationships between characters as they try to live in a decimated world rather than...well, zombies eating people. That being said, Kirkman does go into complete chaos-mode at times, as this issue shows...

Well I've read what's happened in the stories but this is the first of the panels I've seen.

Well, this post is hardly representative of how The Walking Dead is all the time, or even a significant chunk of it.

I've read other zombie comics, and the majority of them focus on excessive gore and little else (Avatar's Night of the Living Dead comics come to mind especially). What sets The Walking Dead apart from the others is that it focuses on the characters and how they coexist together in the world. There have been entire issues with nary a zombie in sight. It's more in line with the quality of a George Romero zombie film.

Here's a good review that describes it accurately:
