The Walking Dead #1-68 (Ongoing) Update

As I've already said, for those of you who faithfully follow this series nothing I can say here will ever approach the utter intellectual delight and base sense of dread and foreboding you feel when you read the actual comic book itself. And for those who have yet to read it, I believe the best way--as always--is to start from the very first issue. grows more absorbing as it goes, revealing more exciting and complicated reasons to want to follow a story where, in a zombie-infested apocalyptic hell, the few surviving humans somehow prove with increasingly horrific means that they are, truly, more monstrous than the undead. As an IGN reviewer avers, "If there is better, more consistently thoughtful character work going on anywhere in mainstream comics, I'd like to see it. Kirkman is a master at peeling away layers of a character's psyche, and Charlie Adlard has the expressive chops to convey those complex emotions." Indeed IGN again bestows on issue #68 an "Outstanding" 9.1 out of 10 rating and its Editor's Choice Award. Following IGN's ratings system, I'd give the series an "Incredible" 9.8 out of 10. Hands down consistently the best ongoing comic series today.
