The Walking Dead Deluxe #96

The conclusion of "A Larger World" arrives in this deluxe edition, and Charlie Adlard and Dave McCaig's interiors are matched by a cover from David Finch that crackles with tension — a lone figure stands center, pistol raised, as spear-tips and an axe close in from every direction while hooded figures and a shouting woman press in behind him. It's the kind of standoff image that makes you feel the desperation of surviving in a world that keeps getting bigger and more dangerous. Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic saga wraps up this four-part arc in fine, nerve-wracking fashion.
