After what seemed like months of teasers and build up we are somehow already half way through the Fear the Hunters arc. The first issue of the arc didn’t feel like anything special, but each subsequent issue has gotten better meaning issue #64 is the best so far.

In the previous two issues a couple of major things have occurred, the capturing of Dale by the hunters and the arrival of the rest of the crew at Gabriel’s church. A big twist occurs related to one of those two things at the beginning of the issue, but it is the character moments, which Kirkman has become famous, that make the issue something special.

At times it has felt like some characters in the story were being completely ignored but lately and in particular in this issue everyone has something compelling going on; imagine Kirkman spinning plates, go ahead it is a funny image. Even characters like Abraham and Michonne who some could easily write off as one trick ponies continue to have more layers and depth added to them. Having said all that, this is still Rick’s book and his leadership skills are once again given the chance to shine here. If I were those hunters I’d be a little bit worried right about now.
