Walking Dead vol 3 Safety Behind Bars (New Ptg) s/c back

There's a great scene halfway through where two of the group have been killed, almost torn apart. Their heads are at the front of the panels, eyes rolling back, tongues hanging out. After a few beats they make a sound and start to twitch as their compatriots realise, again, that everything's changed and death is not the end. By making this an open-ended series, Kirkman is able to up the horror by upping the human interest. The usual vehicle for zombie tales is a film with limited opportunities for getting to know the characters before the terror invades their lives. Here we've already had two books.
