The Walking Dead, Vol. 5: The Best Defense

The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living!

In a matter of months, society has crumbled: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. As the survivors settle into their prison home, something has drawn them out into the open... out of the prison... out of their sanctuary.

This is a major turning point for the overall story of The Walking Dead, setting the stage for years to come. Witness the characters as they are forced to confront the harsh realities of this new world and the lengths they must go to in order to survive.

This volume continues the New York Times bestselling saga from Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard.
