Volume 3 ended on quite a cliffhanger which is solved in a suitably violent manner in the first pages of this one.
Michonne makes her first appearance and instantly causes problems by getting romantically involved with Tyreese - who is of course the beloved of Carol.
Carol doesn't take things too well and this leads to a great stand off between Rick and Tyreese.
Human drama is definitely to the fore in this installment.
The art is the usual basic style. This sometimes makes it difficult to know who some of the characters are as they are drawn fairly similarly. That's only a minor quibble though as this continues to be a dramatic and well told zombie apocalypse.
I bit the bullet and googled when Daryl would enter the storyline and was surprised to discover that he never will.This is a franchise where googling a character name can reveal huge spoilers. Luckily, in this case I avoided those.
Volume 5 arrived in the post today, so that will be my cheat read when I finish the 700 page Stephen King I just started today.
