The Walking Dead, Vol. 14: No Way Out by Robert Kirkman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
After a horrible accident, Rick sums up what I've been saying all along with these graphic novels: In comparison, the undead are manageable; it's the living that cause the real problems.
I think the one thing that really draws me to this story, to which I was introduced through the television show, is how realistic and honest the interactions are between the living. It's like a lesson in human nature in its rawest form. What we see these characters do for, to, and with each other is what we see in people every day - whether it be after a natural disaster or just in every day situations.
Some people will step up, some will slink away, some will plunder and then want what is yours, and some will go above and beyond for those they love.
And, of course, some will just go batshit crazy.
After reading through this volume, it occurred to me that Kirkman may be taking a page out of George R. R. Martin's playbook: "Oh, you love this character? I'm going to kill them."
