The story starts off with Carl still mourning the loss of Andrea and we get reminded of an incident that happened a long time ago. For those who have been following the comic, you will no doubt remember the story he is telling. While fans of the TV show will remember the polarizing episode with Carol.

In the meantime, Maggie has some questions for Rick concerning Negan. While Dwight, seems to be holding in some anger towards Rick and his decision makings. I’ve mentioned on my podcast, that it looks like Dwight will be turning on Rick soon and this issue has only given that suspicion more fuel.Rick approaches Eugene about the radio and who has been speaking to for quite a while. Rick decides that he wants to speak with them about a possible deal where they can work together. Which leads to Rick trying to find a small group who will head over to their location and begin the process of trading. Which leads to a very intense confrontation between Rick and Dwight and I must say it was very nice to see a rage filled Rick again for some reason.

Kirkman and his team delivered on all cylinders in this issue. If you are a fan of this comic because of Adlard’s amazing action sequences then you will be disappointed. But, these issues are important to regroup and focus on the characters.
