This is a quiet volume for the most part. There are a couple of peaks but most of it is the gearing up for the future war. It is very much an ensemble of vignettes as people talk through the issues of the day.

Eugene starts a new arc and you can see Kirkman planting seeds that won’t sprout for several books to come. Negan also comes to the fore. You had forgotten just how interesting and unpredictable a character he is. Right up to the last page…

The art is great but there was nothing memorable or dramatic which complimented the ‘ticking over’ vibe of most of the book.

A superb Thumbs Up!
