The Walking Dead<\/strong>: Heart’s Desire (Vol. 4)<\/a><\/em> (Image) [5\/4\/3\/4<\/strong>] (collects #19-24)
\nw. Robert Kirkman; a. Charlie Adlard<\/em> <\/p>\n

If Robert Kirkman seems strongly associated with zombies, it’s because this series of his continues so strongly and so well.  It’s the standard bit — one day, the dead walk, eating the living. Civilization collapses, and the survivors have to figure out how to keep being survivors.  How much violence is necessary to protect themselves from the zombies, from other living — and from each other?  What are the rules that keep each other from each other’s throats?  Physical, emotional, and sexual
\ntension continue to rise, and the question is not who will crack first, but who won’t<\/em> crack. <\/p>\n

It’s not a pretty book.  But it’s a good one. <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Wonder Woman<\/strong>: Destiny Calling (Vol. 4)<\/a><\/em> (DC) [4\/4\/3\/2<\/b>] (collects #20-24, Annual #1)
\nw. George Perez; a. George Perez<\/em> <\/p>\n

Continuing the groundbreaking run by Perez in the late 80s, this volume includes the death of Myndi Mayer, the opening of Thymiscara, and Hermes’ decision to live as a god on Earth.  Good stuff, and if there’s now a bit of a whiff of melodrama about it all, it’s still nicely drawn and — further dicking around with the whole WW mythos by subsequent writers notwithstanding — foundational stuff for the Wonder Woman we have today.<\/p>\n



\n <\/p>\n

And that, friends, completes the stack of TPBs I had to go through.  Woot.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
