The Walking Dead Volume 16: A New Hope

Description

In this 16th volume of Robert Kirkman's zombie epic, Rick and the others encounter a group calling themselves the Saviors.

Foreword by Markus Uvell

"In the absence of a functioning state and rule of law, competing legal systems naturally arise, and a kind of armed consensus ensures the possibility of trading with each other for mutual benefit.

Not even the most hardened, violent maniac can manage without being able to vent once in a while. The need to find moments, areas and company of calm becomes enormous. A chance to lay down the weapons.

So I think that all of us, regardless of our possible outlook on life or political opinion, can find some extra comfort in this particular edition of The Walking Dead. Even under the most terrible circumstances, it is there: the desire to find a way to live peacefully together. To cooperate and trade with each other, simply because we all benefit from it.

Yes, everyone except the zombies then"

- Marcus Uvell

Reviews

"The Walking Dead is about the hopelessness of the quest to survive (there is nothing to live for) and about grasping at straws in the search for meaning. But then it wouldn't be The Walking Dead if it didn't also contain a glimmer of hope ."
