The Walking Dead Deluxe #122

Part Eight of Twelve in the "All Out War" saga, this Walking Dead Deluxe issue delivers a cover by David Finch that crackles with menace — two battle-worn figures stride forward in close formation, one bearing a heavily scarred face and holding a rifle, the other gripping what appears to be a bat, both radiating the kind of grim resolve that defines this series at its most intense. Kirkman, Adlard, Gaudiano, and Rathburn's full creative team is firing on all cylinders as the war storyline pushes deep into its second half. If you've been following this colorized revisit of the landmark run, issue #122 is exactly the tension-soaked chapter you'd expect at this stage of the conflict.
