The Walking Dead, Vol. 14: No Way Out

Surprise! What a great volume, filled with sad deaths, a surprise involving Carl and a gun and an eyeball, but none of those are the surprises. The surprise is they actually broke the pattern! They fight to save Alexandria from the horde. This volume is like a nice light in a slowly dimming darkness, in that it sparked new attention in the series for those afraid it was going to get a bit too slow paced.

There is just no happiness to be found. Well, there is, but once it's found you will wish it had stayed hidden. While mostly bleak, somehow Kirkman is able to instill a small ray of hope that keeps you reading and cheering for this group of survivors.
