Synopsis: Survival in a world ravaged by a plague of zombies is difficult, however Rick and his band seem to have found what little goodness is left in the world as life finally begins to stabilize within their prison fences. Food is growing and even with the oncoming shadow of the nearby town of Woodbury, the group finally has a chance to stretch their legs and just enjoy some of the smaller things in life. As is Kirkman’s style, however, nothing in this world is to ever end with a happy ending, and this issue doesn’t change that mold, ending in one of his greatest cliffhangers to date…

Opinion: Nothing good can ever come to Rick or his tribe. That said, this issue is one of Kirkman’s finest, the pacing meshes well with the flow of time, showing the reader several weeks at a time between the pages, finally ending the issue with the … oops, I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but take it from me, nothing good can possibly happen after the final pages of the issue. The issue literally gave me shivers as I hit the final page and made me wish time could pass just so I could get to the next issue. This is what comics should all strive to be, in my opinion. I heavily recommend this book, as well as the whole Walking Dead series!
