THE WALKING DEAD’S NEW ACTION-PACKED STORY ARC IS INFECTIOUS
 
Issue #116, the second chapter of All Out War,
goes to second printing to meet demand
 
The long-running, critically-acclaimed series that inspired the hit TV show just keeps drawing in readers with every new story arc. ALL OUT WAR explodes in THE WALKING DEAD #116, by creator Robert Kirkman and artist Charlie Adlard, when the first shots are fired between Rick's army and Negan's Saviors. Fans of the TV show who were left hanging on the mid-season finale can jump into the comic series' action as it picks up momentum. 
 
Praise for THE WALKING DEAD #116:
 
“So far, this bi-weekly event is living up to its name and expectations.” --Augie De Blieck, Jr., Comic Book Resources
 
“Gaudiano's inks bring a newfound level of sharpness and clarity to Charlie Adlard's pencils. The action hits harder and the storytelling flows better as a result.” --Jesse Schedeen, IGN
 
“So far this arc is truly unlike anything Kirkman has done before. Which is no easy feat after writing the same series for ten years. With any luck the fantastic pacing will keep up and we'll be treated to a new gold standard of zombie story by years end.” --Jimbus_Christ, Bloody Disgusting
