The Walking Dead 8/Robert Kirkman

The Walking Dead Book 8, by Robert Kirkman; graphic novel, horror; 336 pages

Our intrepid group of survivors continues to struggle for survival in the zombie-infested wasteland that America has become following the still-unexplained plague.  Rick and his companions have found shelter in The Community, a walled town where people can still live a (sort of) normal life.  That safety was breached in the last volume, and this one focuses on picking up the pieces, mourning the dead/wounded, and trying to rebuild the Community as a safer, better place. 

While this volume wasn't quite so heavy on the action as some of the others have been, but there was plenty of character drama to keep things interesting.  This is the first collection of this comic to end on an optiministic note--Kirkman has trained me well enough that I'm now waiting for the other shoe to drop in volume 9...
