Rick Grimes and his companions live in a world of constant horror, where the dead walk around trying to eat the flesh of the living, but they never met true monsters until they reached the town of Woodbury.
It is while on a reconnaissance mission in this small town where their secret — the location of their loved ones in a well-fenced former prison — costs Rick and his two companions dearly. At the hands of the cruel town leader, known simply as the Governor, one member is mutilated, another raped and tortured and one simply forced to watch.
When the time comes and Rick and his friends make a break for freedom, the real horror begins, as one of the party members can’t leave until the Governor has paid for his crimes and proceeds to cash him in — in spades.
This series by writer Robert Kirkman (Invincible, Marvel Zombies) and artists Charlie Adlard and Cliff Rathburn continues its brilliant examination of what happens to the survivors in the months and years that follow a zombie apocalypse and provides some of the most stirring, chilling and human stories in comics today.
Also available now is the deluxe The Walking Dead Book 2 hardcover, collecting the third and fourth softcover volumes, revealing just how the group of survivors came to make that jail their home and the high price paid for keeping it.
