Gotta love Michone really

Cliffhanger....
October 24, 2024
After the explosive and unsettling events of the previous issue, the tension is palpable as we follow Rick, Glenn, and Michonne trapped in the living hell of Woodbury. The Governor, a man who has shown nothing but cruelty, continues to loom large, and the survivors' fate seems to hang by a thread. This issue keeps me on edge, wondering whether any of them will find a way to escape this twisted place. My curiosity was also piqued by the development of characters like Martínez and Dr. Stevens, who might be allies, or at the very least, cracks in the Governor’s ruthless regime.
The issue begins with Martínez guarding the fences of Woodbury. His thoughts are interrupted by a survivor named Rudy Warburton, who tells him that the Governor wants to see him. Martínez reluctantly leaves Rudy in charge, a seemingly innocuous moment but one that sets a dark tone. Right from the start, we get the sense that Martínez, although part of the Governor’s inner circle, may not entirely trust him—or perhaps he's just weary of Woodbury’s environment.
We then shift to Rick, who is still recovering in the hospital. Dr. Stevens tends to his injuries, changing his bandage and advising him to stay put, lest his wounds become infected. Rick, being the fighter he is, can’t help but bring up the idea of escaping. Surprisingly, Dr. Stevens doesn’t try to talk him out of it, even saying that he wouldn’t stop him if Rick chose to make a break for it. The chilling detail here is that the guards, of course, are ever-watchful, making escape seem impossible.
The tension rises when a Woodbury arena fighter named Harold barges into the hospital, needing medical attention. His casual, almost friendly invitation for Rick to come watch the next fight contrasts sharply with the brutality that lies at the heart of these spectacles. When Harold’s opponent, Eugene, bursts in full of rage over a previous fight, the intensity spikes. Eugene, who had been humiliated by Harold, quickly escalates things by stabbing Harold in the neck, which puts Rick in the gruesome position of helping Dr. Stevens save a man’s life—a man involved in Woodbury’s cruel, gladiatorial "entertainment."
Meanwhile, in the bowels of Woodbury, the Governor pays a visit to Michonne, who is locked up after enduring horrific torture at his hands. What’s particularly chilling is his demeanor—casual, taunting, and manipulative. He has no sense of remorse for what he’s done, instead viewing Michonne as nothing more than a tool for further entertainment. He offers her a deal: fight in the arena against Eugene in exchange for some food and rest, maybe even a bed. This scene is rife with tension, as the Governor underestimates Michonne, seeing her only as a potential fighter to please the crowd.
As Rick tries to hold onto his anger and push through his pain, Martínez arrives at the hospital and is shocked by the sight of Rick’s missing hand. The confrontation between Rick and Martínez is brief but heated, with Rick accusing Martínez of betraying him by handing him over to the Governor. This moment feels crucial because Martínez doesn’t respond with anger or self-righteousness but instead seems genuinely troubled by what’s happened to Rick, showing the beginnings of what could be a conscience. Dr. Stevens, ever the voice of weary wisdom, steps in to diffuse the situation.
Back in the arena, the moment we’ve all been waiting for arrives: Michonne faces off against Eugene. The Governor, in his sadistic glee, believes he’s crafted the perfect fight, pitting a fierce and deadly woman against an enraged, toothless man. However, his underestimation of Michonne quickly backfires as she swiftly disarms Eugene—both literally and figuratively. In a brutal but satisfying moment, she decapitates him, delivering justice not only to Eugene but to the Governor himself, in a symbolic sense. The crowd, however, doesn’t share Michonne’s catharsis. They’re furious. What they expected to be a thrilling show of violence has become something darker and far more real.
The Governor is livid at Michonne for ruining his "good clean fun." His facade as the benevolent leader begins to crack as the crowd turns on him. Instead of addressing their outrage, he retreats, leaving Gabe and Bruce to clean up the mess. They manage to subdue Michonne, but not without difficulty—a testament to her strength and tenacity. The Governor’s frustration and anger as he grabs her katana from Bruce is palpable, showing that he’s lost control of the situation, something he’s not used to. He almost contemplates killing her but is talked out of it, for now.
The issue takes a quieter, yet no less tense, turn as we return to Rick in the hospital. Dr. Stevens leaves to get some rest, leaving Rick in the care of Alice. This brief moment of quiet is filled with small yet meaningful exchanges between Rick and Alice. Rick mentions his wife, Lori, and their unborn child, revealing a vulnerability that contrasts sharply with the violence and chaos around them. Alice, for her part, talks about how she learned medicine, giving us a glimpse into her own backstory and struggles in this post-apocalyptic world.
The tension snaps back into full force when Martínez suddenly appears, telling Rick, “We’ve got to go!” It’s at this moment that Rick—and the readers—realize that Martínez isn’t the loyal Woodbury soldier he seemed to be. He’s ready to help Rick escape, but the question remains: can they make it out alive?
This issue was a rollercoaster of emotions. From the tense confrontation between Rick and Martínez to Michonne’s explosive fight in the arena, the stakes continue to rise. The Governor’s cruelty and manipulation feel even more oppressive, but the cracks in his control are starting to show. Michonne’s fight is a significant turning point, not just in the plot but also in showing the growing resistance against the Governor’s tyranny.
One of the standout moments for me was Michonne’s decapitation of Eugene. It wasn’t just a fight—it was a statement, a powerful rejection of the Governor’s twisted games. Michonne, as always, proves that she is a force to be reckoned with, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph in that moment.
The development of Martínez is intriguing. In the TV adaptation, he’s portrayed more as a follower of the Governor, but here in the comics, his inner conflict feels much more pronounced. His decision to help Rick escape adds a layer of complexity to his character, and I’m eager to see where this leads.
Lastly, Rick’s vulnerability in this issue was a powerful contrast to all the brutality. His moments of quiet reflection on his family gave the issue an emotional depth that balanced out the intense action. It reminds us that, at the core of all this violence, these characters are still holding onto their humanity.
This issue sets the stage for what feels like an inevitable confrontation between Woodbury and our group at the prison, and I can’t wait to see how things unfold.

Well, hurray and for fuck's sake! Haha. The Governor gets Michonne to participate in the fight. It's supposed to be staged. I can't believe he's been raping her, and he actually thinks she's going to do this for him and not try and kill as many as she can with her sword. That was a HUGE mistake on the Governor's part. Huge. I doubt she's going to kill him, but I wish she would.
Looks like Rick is going to escape, Martinez is helping him get out. Apparently, he had no idea what his Governor was up to. I bet it's the same with many there in the town.

Being a huge fan of the show, I wanted to see how the original writing started and how the show writers followed and deviated from the comics. My dislikes were that the comics are much more crude, crass, and unnecessarily violent. I did like the change in relationships and how people worked together differently, and the comics have a different creepiness feel than you get watching it on TV. Overall, I prefer the show, and probably will not finish out the comic book series.

This is a review of the entire series.
Rick Grimes is a strong-willed deputy who missed the end of the world because he was in a coma for a month after getting shot in the line of duty. Shaken, starving and confused, Rick escapes the horror of the abandoned hospital only to be met with something far more terrible. Not only has the world ended, but the dead have learned to walk and to kill without mercy. After learning that his wife and son have fled to Atlanta from a single survivor and his son, Rick goes on a journey to reunite with his family and search for more survivors.
Rick quickly has to come to terms with the fact that the world has ended and only a select few survived. The dead have risen from their graves and they prey on the living. In a world where every minute feels like hours, where there's no such thing as law and order, where finding a small meal is a tremendous task, the walking dead are quite possibly the least threatening thing for the survivors to have on their breaking minds. Humanity is pushed to the brink of destruction, forcing them to embrace their cruel and primal nature in order to survive. Sometimes you have to be more concerned about who you let into your community so they don't kill you in your sleep and steal everything you once cared about. Rick has no choice but to abandon the ways of law and order that he's upheld as an officer for so long in order to protect the few loved ones he has left. He has to become a monster to protect his crew or risk being devoured by those who became more monstrous than him and even the walking dead.
Despite zombies running the world and having the series named after them, what really sets this series apart from the average zombie apocalypse tale is the focus on realism and the daily struggles, flaws and depth of the characters. There's plenty of badass zombie killing action, but the action often takes a back seat to give the characters plenty of times to share their extremely tragic yet endearing stories, grow through mutual suffering and learn to adapt to a world that has left them to die. Even after the world has ended, many people still can't see eye to eye. They turn on each other and kill each other when they should come together. Others form alliances in spite of their differences and try to rebuild over the corpse of everything that was lost. The daily human drama and conflict is more intense than any monster apocalypse could hope to be.
We watch Rick struggle to balance his old moral code with the many necessary evils he has to commit in order to survive and make the world a better place for the ones he holds close. We watch people like Glen, Dale and Maggie attempt to find love in spite of having every reason to be filled with fear, hate and self-loathing. Characters like Michonne have to learn how to forgive themselves and convince themselves they deserve to be loved despite all the blood on their hands. We watch the weak like Carl and Andrea become strong and sometimes the strong become evil like The Governor. Even monsters like the wicked yet oddly lovable Negan are given the chance to find new ways of redeeming themselves by struggling alongside the other survivors that have all been changed by the horrors of the fallen world.
The pacing is extremely slow and I can understand why that may be a turnoff for a lot of people, but I eventually learned to enjoy watching the characters grow, overcome their trauma, find meaning in life and learn to love again. The characters are forced to do many terrible things to survive and it haunts them every waking moment. The ways they overcome these regrets is very realistic, human and hopeful. The slow pacing really gives the feeling that we're living beside these people. The way every tiny detail of their lives and who they are is explored makes them feel very real and believable.
When I first started reading the series, I wasn't expecting it to have such an uplifting ending. It seemed so bleak and nihilistic for a long time and things would go horribly wrong even when they seemed to be going so well, but the finale channels all the pain, suffering and betrayal of the previous volumes and tops it off with a very touching and inspiring finish. This was never a story about hopelessness. It's about learning to appreciate the little things, learning to forgive yourself and learning to move on even when it's hard. When everything seems lost there's always more to be found, even when we believe otherwise because we convince ourselves that we don't deserve to be happy ever again. Instead of dwelling on what was lost, strive to try and make things better than they were before.
I've never been a huge fan of zombie apocalypse stories, but The Walking Dead had enough heart and strong social commentary to make me stick by the characters until the end and I enjoyed every moment of their long trial.

Rodriguez crack!

The G really believed that after abusing Michonne in every horrid way that she'd actually go along with his agreement in the stage fight in the arena? Pfft, more fools him.
Seeing that dumb idiot get his head lopped off by Michonne was pretty satisfying to be honest. His name was Eugene but I assume this ain't the same Eugene we know from the show, Mr. Mullet himself.
There's also a character named Alice, who even is she?
I liked seeing Martinez being genuinely concerned about Rick, and actually helping him try to escape at the end was pretty sweet. If that's his intentions anyway.

This issue starts out a Woodbury with a bang. Michonne takes a leading role in a Woodbury fight, but ends up making people upset. I thought it was funny with a guy said he didn't want his kids to see a bloodbath - what would they be seeing outside the gate? Rick is befriending the medical staff. I do wonder what made Cesar Martinez have a change of heart. I guess i will keep reading to find out...

L'histoire prend décidément un tour plus politico-social qui me plaît beaucoup. Dans ce dernier tome, on sort totalement de la problématique des zombies pour explorer les possibilités de la reconstruction, avec toutes les divergences d'opinion et les ajustements que cela demande.

You know it is pretty bad when one of your own people can not stand you. This Governor guy really is crazy and a piece of shit. Martinez should leave Woodbury and go live with Rick and his group.
Harold is a moron for being one of the Governor's pet monkeys that dance when he tells them too. It is stupid and dangerous to be fighting in the arena, much less with zombies close by.
This Eugene guy is a piece of shit, just like the Governor. He needs to get a damn grip and get his mind right and tell the Governor to kiss his ass when the man suggests he fight again.
Harold and Eugene are like some wild animals and they need to be put down, before they turn into some assholes like the Governor. One is WAY more than enough for them to have to deal with.
I am really HATING the Governor and the way he talks to and treats Michonne. If he was ever married, I hope he did not treat his wife, and his daughter the way he is treating Michonne.
Michonne needs to find some way to get free, and stab the Governor in the face. Actually, she needs to kill the jackass. He deserves no mercy of any kind. He does not gives mercy to others, so he just needs to be put down.
I am really starting to think that the Governor was an abuser to his wife and daughter. The way he was slapping his daughter around earlier, and now the way he is talking about a woman and man fighting, like he does not care of the man kills the woman. Seems like an abuser to me.
Holy crap, man. Martinez is a moron. Asking what happened to Rick, as if he did not know just how psycho the Governor is. Martinez needs to stop being a dick, and help Rick and the others get the hell out of Woodbury.
The Governor is stupid if he think that Doc Stevens or any NORMAL person would be happy, in a place like Woodbury, where they do the crazy shit that the Governor does.
I do not blame Michonne for killing all those zombies when she was brought into the arena. I would have done the same damn thing. One less zombie is good for everyone.
That random mom and Woodbury resident is fucking crazy. She needs to sit down and shut the fuck up, before the psycho Governor does something to her. I am surprised he did not do anything to the woman for the way she had spoken to him.
Michonne did NOT agree to ANYTHING, so the Governor needs to get a damn grip and get the fuck over himself. What did he THINK she was going to do when he set her loose around a lot of zombies?
I admit that I liked the conversation between Rick and Alice. For a moment there, it almost felt like they were not in the middle of the end of the world, with the dead walking around. It almost felt normal.
I do NOT buy Martinez's act for one moment. I have a feeling he will act like a good guy and pretend to help them escape, when in reality, he is just on a mission from the Governor, who wants to find where Rick and the group live, so he can take it for himself.

I do NOT buy Martinez's act for one moment. I have a feeling he will act like a good guy and pretend to help them escape, when in reality, he is just on a mission from the Governor, who wants to find where Rick and the group live, so he can take it for himself.

Volume: The Walking Dead
Title: This Sorrowful Life, Pt. 1
Creator/Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Charlie Adlard
Colorist: Cliff Rathburn
Cover: Charlie Adlard, Cliff Rathburn
Letterer: Rus Wooton
Publisher/Date: Image/ 9/1/2006
Length/Format: 28/ Digital Comic
Issue#: 31
It's Michonne versus the world...and she's completely pissed off with the world. And Rick will get some unexpected help to get out of this situation.
The Best. The Governor giving Michonne back her sword... I love the frame work that Charlie Adlard created for Michonne's entrance into the arena while Alice is reading, Rick is sitting on the bed and the Governor is watching mixed with the walkers. Eugene gets his head cut off and the Governor is surprised!? Really? Before they have a chance to stop Michonne, she had taken out all the walkers. The people of Woodbury fight and yell against the Governor because Michonne's "show". Rick and Alice small talk and Alice thinks Rick is trying to pick her up.
The Worst. The Governor is trying to have someone talk him out of killing Michonne with her own sword. I was really worried that perhaps the Governor would go to far to end up either killing Michonne or at the very least seriously wounding her so that in time she would slowly die and become a walker.
Questioning. I feel as though Martinez seems a bit off to me here. I mean he goes from needing to talk to the Governor to wanting to get the new arrivals out of Woodbury. It just seems a bit strange that he would side so readily with outsiders.
The Differences. Everything about this is different from the show.
Those Remembered. Harold, a fighter in the arena and a guard in Woodbury, dies after being stabbed by Eugene for punching his teeth in. Eugene and the walkers from the arena, all killed by Michonne.
Recommend. To the fans of The Walking Dead Universe, zombies, horror dramas, and apocalypse style stories.

Fun issue, I like the zombie pit fighting as pro wrestling angle. But it's funny how they show this woman in the crowd complaining about her kids being traumatized by a decapitation when she brought her kids there to see people fuck each other up and they play it for laughs, like look how ridiculous this woman is being. Kirkman even calls her crazy in the notes! But this is just like what actually happens in real life. I can't tell you how many parents I've seen being kids to deathmatch wrestling shows to watch people bleed all over the place. I don't know, I don't think I worded that as well as I wanted to. It's just funny to use this example of something that's actually pretty common as an example of how fucked up a post apocalyptic society can get.

Michonne ha tenido problemas para adaptarse a su nuevo entorno. A partir de este problema, las cosas se ponen aún mucho más dificiles... Este cómic,el 31 se me ha echo muy rápido ya que la letra, las ilustraciones y el cómic en general era perfecto. Y, con este me refiero que ni había mucha letra ni excesivas imágenes era 100% perfecto. La trama sigue siendo un poco la misma por eso no le subo la puntuación aunque hay más acción. Pero la acción que yo busco en estos cómic es mas de zombies y no tanto de peleas ni huídas.

This issue gives us a little more of the people in Woodbury, and it's nice to see that they're not all punchcard villains. Some of them are decent people, stuck in bad circumstances. Other than being a control freak and bat sh*t crazy, I still don't get a real sense of The Governor's motivations. "Rule by fear?" maybe?
One of the best panels in the series thus far, is Michonne giving everyone a "show." Of course, this is followed by some ironic statements by an attendee. Great juxtaposition.

The fights at Woodbury are different from the show. At least, my son and I think that.
There is a Eugene at Woodbury. But he can't be the one that is with Abraham, right?
Martinez seems genuinely concerned about Rick's missing hand.
Michonne is in an 'even fight'. It looks like it is with Eugene who she decapitates.
Martinez is going to get Rick out of Woodbury.

Great! If you are enjoying these particular comics with the governor, I recommend reading, "The Walking Dead, The Governor Series". That series gives you much more background and depth into the governor and what goes on in Woodbury. Really enjoy seeing the differences between the show and the comics.

Lots going on in Woodbury. This issue gives a better sense of the politics, yet doesn't ease up on action.

There's no way that Michonne didn't see the Governor’s face on every walker at the end of this ish.
