The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense by Robert Kirkman
5.0
Holy shit!!!! This is my favorite volume so far out of the five I've read! I'm so happy because I really hated the 4th volume and I almost wanted to stop reading but I told myself not to and I kept reading out of curiosity and this fifth volume is amazing! Two words: The Governor. One of the biggest and baddest villains in The Walking Dead history was finally introduced and he is even more terrifying in the comics than he was in the show, and that's hard to believe but it's true! He's scary as fuck. So many things happened in this short volume, it was action packed and exciting!
SPOILERS BELOW
I was so excited when Glenn found the armor suits for him and Rick! Then the helicopter scenes happened and I was so excited as they were tracking down where the helicopter landed and it led them to Woodbury! Finally we meet The Governor who is so insane and creepy. He's one of my favorite villains of all time and it's so exciting to finally see him in this series. As soon as the group meets him they get into a physical fight and The Governor chops off Rick's hand, and Michonne bites his ear off!!!!!!!!! Like what!!!! I had heard that Rick loses his hand i the comics but I never knew how and I can't believe The Governor is the one who did it! That's crazy. Also, in the show Michonne takes out the Governor's eye, but in the comics it's his ear. I find that interesting. The Governor is so unbelievably cruel when he "rapes the dog shit out of Michonne" (those were his actual words). He's a villain who is so easy to hate. Also, why is Carol bat shit crazy in these comics??? She wants to marry Lori and Rick. She's like in love with both of them and she wants to marry both of them and raise Sophia and Carl together like what the fuck!? She's actually crazy. I don't know what to think of it to be honest.
This one is definitely the darkest and most intense volume yet and I absolutely loved it. On to volume 6 now. :)
