With our heroes settling almost nicely into life at the prison, a new external stimulus to move the plot along is needed and this volume delivers in spades (and bowie knives) when Rick, Glenn and Michonne go looking for a helicopter they see crash after flying over the prison.
When they find it, it's empty and the footprints look like another group of people found the helicopter first. They follow the tracks, and as anyone who knows the tv series will know, they find the town of Woodbury and the introduction of our first properly psychopathic villain in the shape of the Governor.
David Morrissey really was a gent compared to the version in this version. He's already committed acts of violence against the three that are nastier than anything he did on tv.
Meanwhile in the prison, tensions are rising again as they wait for the group's return.
This is a series that gets better as it goes along. There was at least one moment, maybe three or four to be honest, that really shocked me. The artwork has improved and it's easier to distinguish between some of the characters. Also the background styling is much better than the first few issues.
I have part 6 all ready and waiting. And I can't wait. This was another cliffhanger.
