The Walking Dead #149

The title "The Devil on Your Shoulder" sets an ominous tone perfectly matched by this cover, where a seated bearded man grips the arms of a chair while a larger, leather-jacketed figure looms directly behind him — a portrait of tension and unspoken menace rendered in Charlie Adlard's characteristically gritty linework. Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic series consistently finds its most unsettling drama in the space between people, and that psychological weight is on full display here. At issue #149, The Walking Dead remains one of 2015's most compelling reads.
