Walking Dead #62

I was really excited for the "Hunters" storyline to kick off. Last issue had kicked me in the gut (again) with Carl and was sure that something more was coming from this first chapter. But it turned out to just be a set up issue, and that still ended up being okay with me. I like Kirkman issues where not much happens. He is very good at letting the characters evolve into what they naturally would be. All of the characters have a sort of break. Sure there is a Zombie dust up, but when isn't there. There is just a quiet pause as we watch what happens when these people have a night when they are not on the run. A night when they are just amongst each other. No huge developments, no big speeches, just the group interacting with each other. Carl is now a different child. He sees the weak in people and it disgusts him. He doesn't have time to take care of people that can't take care of themselves. I can see this being a major issue between him and Rick. One that could divide them. I have no idea who these hunters are or why they would want Dale. Or anyone for that matter. What person could be working to kidnap people in this world? With everything that Kirkman has put into these last few issues, it probably will be gruesome. This quiet issue again showed me why "The Walking Dead" is my favorite ongoing series.
