the_walking_dead_47
Storyline: Made to Suffer, Part 5 (of 6)
Date: March 2008
Price: $2.99 US
Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Charlie Adlard

Synopsis: The action revs up in this issue, and everything that has been happening to Rick and company has all led up to this confrontation. Loyalties are renewed and tested, and even after all of the sacrifices, in this issue there are more to be made, and possibly one that is the biggest one of all. Mother and Child. No one is safe.

Opinion: The Walking Dead is one of those comics that never fails to surprise you. Even after 47 issues the hits just keep on coming. Robert Kirkman pulls no punches in portraying the gravity of a world gone awry. This arc has been terribly violent, with events shaping our characters (at least the ones still alive) well beyond what you would expect in comics today.

Every time an issue has come out the pacing and style has been near flawless. If you’re not reading this book you are seriously missing out on a unique character study as Kirkman provides glimpse after glimpse of insights into mankind’s soul.

That being said, this comic is suggested for mature readers. The scenario is dead serious and the subject matter could be very overwhelming to some. If you can handle it, I recommend this story.
