The Walking Dead Vol 13

Robert Kirkman
Charlie Adlard
Cliff Rathburn

Rick and the gang are still living in the incredibly naive community, closed off from the undead apocalypse in mind and body. They're all having a hard time adjusting, some less than other. The story makes it painfully obvious just how much the community is hanging by a thread. Secrets keep coming up to the surface whether they help the situation or not.

Rick's instincts and paranoia stem from his past experiences and it's a nice bit of storytelling whenat one point, the community is under attack by jerks, and Rick exclaims "I want to be prepared for anything. Whoever is at the gate could be sitting on a tank for all we know." Because of course he's thinking of the Mayor, and Lori and everyone who died that day. This book was all about past traumas and deaths.

All threats and obstacles are fixed messily but simply, and the book ends with a nice cliffhanger. Promising zombies, and just in time too, they zombies have been missing for a while now!
