The Walking Dead, Vol. 4

by Robert Kirkman

Part of The Walking Dead

First published 2005

Rick Grimes and his group of zombie apocalypse survivors have found temporary safety behind prison walls. But survival brings its own complications. The close quarters and constant stress create a volatile mix of human emotions. Romantic connections form quickly between survivors who cling to each other for comfort. Just as rapidly, these bonds dissolve under pressure. Partners switch allegiances almost daily as desperation and desire collide. Trust becomes a luxury few can afford when tomorrow remains uncertain. The group discovers that navigating human relationships may prove more treacherous than fighting the undead. By the time the dust settles, the social fabric of their small community has been torn apart and rewoven. Key alliances have shifted completely. Former lovers become enemies while unexpected partnerships emerge from the chaos. The survivors must now face whatever comes next with entirely new dynamics between them.
