The Walking Dead #90

A lone survivor bundled in a fur-trimmed parka stands rifle in hand against a snow-blanketed, abandoned city street — it's a quietly haunting image that captures the series' gift for making desolation feel deeply personal. Charlie Adlard's cover work renders the wintry urban backdrop with striking detail, from the scattered debris to the distant storefronts slowly being reclaimed by silence. Robert Kirkman, Adlard, and Cliff Rathburn continue delivering the kind of post-apocalyptic storytelling in 2011 that kept readers hooked issue after issue.
