The Walking Dead, Book Six
The quality is still very good, and (like always) so much happens that it's hard to pin down the craziest thing that Kirkman puts these guys through.This one is definitely still dark, though. And we lose several of the original members of The Group right off the bat.WARNING: SPOILERS!Sorry, I'm trying to keep track of what's happening in these books.Ben, the creepy twin who was dismembering those animals in the last volume, finally goes full on psycho, and plays with his brother Billy's guts in the woods. Andrea, who along with Dale has been acting as a surrogate parent, stumbles upon the scene. This was particularly poignant, because while all of the adults (aside from Dale & Andrea) know that this kid is beyond help and needs to be put down, the idea of actually killing a child is horrifying. And while the adults debate the matter, one member takes matters into their own hands...Yeah, so it looks like little Carl may need some therapy when this whole Apocalypse thing is over.But they don't even get a chance to find out Who Shot JR Ben before another zombie attack has everyone all freaked out. Father Gabriel (new guy) says a few words over Ben, and these guys head out to find shelter at his church.So, 2 dead kids, and 1 child murderer should be the highlight of this one, right?Nope...up next, Cannibals!Definitely the gross out award winner so far! Ugh! They eat their victims alive, slicing off one chunk of delicious meat at a time.*shudder*Speaking of, where's Dale?!And in the best shocker of the book, Dale gets the last laugh when (view spoiler)[he reveals that he had been bitten by zombie in the last attack, and had purposely wandered off to die alone.
