The Walking Dead #1-86 (Ongoing, Update)

For those who have not yet read this series: the best way--as always--is to start from the very first issue. The 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." It consistently remains the best ongoing comic series today. For ages 16 up.
