The Walking Dead Deluxe #82

Part Three of "No Way Out" arrives with a David Finch cover that practically crackles with desperation — a small group of survivors, one brandishing a flaming torch and another swinging a blunt weapon, fight to hold back an overwhelming mass of walkers surging in from every direction. The sea of rotting dead threatening to swallow them whole makes for a genuinely gripping image, all rendered with Finch's characteristically dense, muscular linework. Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, and Dave McCaig's The Walking Dead Deluxe continues to be one of Image's most compelling reads in 2024.
