The Walking Dead #117

Part three of the ambitious twelve-chapter "All Out War" saga arrives here, and Charlie Adlard's cover captures the tension brilliantly — a long-haired figure stands with rifle in hand, back turned to the chaos behind them, while a terrified blonde woman recoils in the foreground and a wild-haired fighter charges sword-raised through a crowd of walkers. Published in 2013 to coincide with the series' tenth anniversary (noted right on the cover), this issue from Kirkman, Adlard, Gaudiano, and Rathburn reflects the sprawling, high-stakes energy of a story arc that clearly has no intention of slowing down.
