Numbers 2 and 3 - The Walking Dead volumes 29 and 30

 And stupid blogger won't let me post the two pictures side by side. 

I didn't quite finish the series last year, still got a handful left.  The whisperer war came to an end and the attempts to rebuild sciety continue apace.  

However, the mysterious voice that Eugene has been talking to on the radio turns out to be from a society that has well and truly got back on its feet. 

These two issues deal with a team and their journey to meet these people and our first visit to the Commonwealth. 

On the surface, things seem good, what would pass for normal in society today. But there are dark undercurrents as you would expect in the Walking Dead.  In this case, a strictly enforced class system.  The evils of today's society laid bare.

In a world where the walkers have brought everyone down to the samew level, is there really any excuse to bring class warfare back into the mix?

These are the questions being asked in the latest two volumes. 

 There isn't the all out sense that anyone could die at any moment any more.  the pace has relaxed considerably. This is because it's no longer about survival.  It's about the rebuilding, and that's not possible if you're still running scared.

The commonwealth makes for a nice contrast with the previous enemies, the whisperers.  The whisperers were entirely feral. The Commonwealth are the exact opposite.

With only two volumes left, it looks like an interesting close to the series.
