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.

EVEN BETTER IN COLOR!!!

After the explosive revelations and tense buildup of the last issue, I was eager to see how the group would handle the impending threat of the Governor and his forces. As the story moves forward, the emotional weight of unresolved pasts and the preparations for an upcoming battle weigh heavily on the characters. This issue takes a reflective pause, giving readers more personal moments, while still carrying an underlying tension of what’s to come.
The issue opens with a deeply uncomfortable flashback to a pivotal moment between Lori and Shane before the fall of society. They are having sex on the grass beside a road outside Atlanta, away from the terror and chaos that now consumes the world. In this flashback, Shane checks on Carl, and Lori expresses her guilt over leaving Rick in the hospital, acknowledging that they abandoned him while heading to Atlanta in hopes of safety. There’s a raw vulnerability in her questioning whether they made the right decision in staying near the city. Shane, confident as ever, reassures her that staying by the city would be the safest option when the government begins clearing the walkers. But the tension in their conversation arises from deeper emotions—Lori’s guilt over their affair, the lingering uncertainty about Rick, and Shane’s unspoken hope that their relationship might continue, even when (or if) things return to normal. The past haunts Lori, and this flashback foreshadows the unraveling truths that will soon come to light.
Back in the present, the looming tension between Lori and Rick is palpable. Lori, lost in thought, reflects on her past as Rick attempts to comfort her. There’s an unspoken emotional distance between them, even as Lori talks about their future child and the preparations needed for the baby. Her mind is still elsewhere—trapped in memories of Shane and the guilt she carries for what transpired. Rick, ever the pragmatic leader, is too focused on the tasks at hand to notice Lori’s emotional turmoil, which leaves her staring blankly at the prison walls as Rick drifts off to sleep.
The next morning, we see new bonds forming as Carol introduces herself to Alice in the prison’s makeshift hospital. It’s a brief yet comforting moment, reminding us that amidst all the death and chaos, human connections still manage to bloom. Carol’s kindness shines through, showing her desire to build relationships with the newer members of the group. Meanwhile, in another corner of the prison, Billy checks on Patricia, and this scene offers a quiet, contemplative moment between two characters still processing their grief. Patricia is mourning Otis, while Billy is trying to make amends for his earlier treatment of her. There’s a sense of reconciliation in this scene, as Billy extends a hand of friendship to Patricia, recognizing that everyone has made mistakes in their struggle to survive.
The wedding of Glenn and Maggie is one of the brightest moments in this issue, offering a rare glimpse of hope and love in the grim world they now live in. Hershel, taking on the role of a priest, blesses the union with a heartfelt speech. His character, who has suffered so much loss, finds solace in this moment as his daughter and Glenn pledge their lives to one another. It’s a simple ceremony, but the significance is profound. Glenn and Maggie’s relationship has been a beacon of light amidst the darkness, and their marriage symbolizes a small victory against the overwhelming despair surrounding them. After the wedding, Glenn and Maggie share an intimate moment, and there’s a sense of optimism, however fleeting, in their union.
However, not all is well. Michonne, who has been emotionally distant for much of the story, finds solace in Tyreese’s arms. Her vulnerability in this moment contrasts sharply with her usual strength, and it’s a touching scene that adds depth to both characters. Michonne’s emotional breakdown reveals the toll this apocalyptic world has taken on even the strongest of survivors. Tyreese, who has struggled with his own demons, holds her, offering a rare moment of tenderness between them.
The next day, the group engages in a moment of normalcy with a basketball game, providing a brief respite from the constant fear and danger. Yet, even here, the specter of Rick’s injury looms large, as Carl innocently asks about his father’s missing hand. It’s a small detail, but it underscores the lasting impact of the violence they’ve endured.
The final part of the issue is dominated by the group's preparations for an inevitable confrontation with the Governor’s forces. Rick, Tyreese, and Dale gather to take stock of their weapons, realizing they’re ill-prepared for a full-scale attack. Dale’s suggestion to raid a National Guard station sets the stage for the next leg of their journey, but there’s a sense of dread as they acknowledge how little time they have left to prepare. The weight of leadership is once again evident in Rick’s guilt, as he confesses to Lori that he should have gone with the group to gather supplies.
The issue ends with a bombshell revelation as Lori tells Rick they need to talk about Shane. It’s a loaded moment—one that has been building since the early days of the series. Lori’s decision to finally confront this unresolved piece of her past with Rick promises to shake their already fragile relationship to its core.
This issue masterfully balances moments of human intimacy with the ever-present tension of survival. The flashback to Shane and Lori’s relationship continues to be one of the most difficult elements to digest, as it forces us to grapple with the complexities of love, guilt, and betrayal. Lori’s reluctance to tell Rick about what happened between her and Shane feels like a ticking time bomb that’s about to explode, and the emotional weight of this secret weighs heavily on the narrative.
Glenn and Maggie’s wedding is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise bleak world, and it’s a reminder that even in the apocalypse, love and hope can still thrive. I found their union particularly touching, as it feels like one of the few moments of true happiness we’ve seen in a long time.
Michonne’s emotional breakdown with Tyreese was another standout moment, offering a glimpse into the hidden vulnerabilities of a character who has often appeared unbreakable. It’s moments like these that remind us of the human cost of survival in The Walking Dead.
However, the tension that lingers throughout the issue is palpable, especially as the group faces the daunting reality that they are woefully underprepared for the Governor’s eventual attack. The urgency of their preparations, combined with Rick’s growing sense of guilt and responsibility, sets the stage for what promises to be a dramatic and violent confrontation.
Overall, this issue offers a perfect blend of character development and rising stakes, leaving me anxious for what comes next.

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.

I'm pretty sure it was Shane's kid. Lori, poor woman... Guilt was eating her thoughts.
November 12, 2018
I feels like a while since I read the last issue because I kinda forgot what's happened.
It starts off with a flashback of the Lori & Shane (go ahead & file that under: Images I didn't want to see - Shane's butt), then ends with with Lori (I assume) about to tell Rick she did the deed with Shane.
Between that? Patricia (I forgot who she was for a hot second, like bish you still here?) feels like no one wants to be her friend but Billy be like 'I'm ya friend', I think I'd rather be Billy No Mates than Billy's My Only Friend. Glenn & Maggie tie the knot, then Andrea, Tyreese, the Newly Weds and Michonne (was Axel there to? I can't remember) go in search of the Tower Guard or whatever it was called, to find weapons as they are very low in said weapons department if Woodbury come a-knocking.

This is a character building issue, and appropriately title The Calm Before. I enjoyed the peace at the prison. Growing veggies, playing basketball, and getting married! Maybe boring to those that like action, but what makes The Walking Dead great for me is the characters, and this issue they have some peace.

Awww, there's a 'real' wedding. That's nice. I wished they'd have done it in the tv show. Too bad. Basically the reason why I gave 5 stars to this issue.
October 6, 2019
It was a nice break from all the tensopn, building up for new one!
December 26, 2021
I was hooked the first couple pages, love the art and especially the zombies and the post apocalyptic setting 😻🤩🧟♂️🔥🔫
April 23, 2016
I do NOT like that the first thing we see in this issue is a flashback of Shane and Lori. It makes me want to puke, seeing them hooking up and then Shane trying to make it into more.
I do not like Shane, but Lori should NOT have been all, 'wham bam, thank you ma'am.' She should have manned up and accepted the situation she was in, without being a whore and sleeping with her husband's best friend.
Yes, Shane is entitled to his feelings for Lori and all that shit. But that said, he should have known that Lori would not want, or was not ready for the two of them to become more.
They were just having sex, that is all. They were not in a committed relationship, not even a relationship at all, really. Lori was still grieving over having to leave Rick behind.
Lori and Rick talking about Carl and the baby is boring to me. Lori just needs to be quiet and look after Carl, and STOP thinking of that dead psycho Shane.
So Rick is AGAIN, proving what a dumbass he is. Lori is close to full term with her pregnancy, and he is JUST NOW, thinking about things the baby will need?
Rick should have been trying to figure out what they are going to do for the baby, months ago. The baby will need clothes, food, diapers, a crib, toys, and all kinds of other stuff.
Glenn and Maggie's wedding was not fancy or anything, but I enjoyed it. Short and sweet and to the point. They had their friends and family that were still alive with them, and at this point they should be glad that anyone was alive to come to their wedding.
Glenn and Maggie still crack me up with how obsessed with sex they are. It is like that is all they talk about and/or think about. They are lucky that some weird sex joke or comment has not popped out of their mouths on accident yet.
I feel bad for Tyreese. He was sleeping and all of a sudden Michonne goes into his room, wakes him up, and starts crying all over him. Hope Tyreese handles Michonne better than he did Carol.
I liked that we got to see some of the group playing basketball, it felt like they were all having a small moment of normalcy from their lives before the end of the world.
If they were going to talk about clothes, I feel like Andrea should have called another meeting with the whole group, and told them about her new plans for making clothes.
I am glad that Rick tried to immediately comfort Carl, when it seemed like he had forgotten that his father's hand had been chopped off. It was a nice thing to do and I am glad Lori did not butt in and say anything.
Dale has a point. They can not defend themselves against the Governor and the people of Woodbury. They do not have the manpower, or anywhere near the amount of weapons they would need to defend themselves and the prison.
And once again, RICK is leaving. I am starting to think there might actually be more to what Carl was saying a few issues back, about his father not loving him and his mother enough.
Rick should have just sent other people out to look for the National Guard Station. He should have stayed back at the prison to protect his family and the rest of the group, if the Governor and his group attacked.
So, I kind of think that them taking the RV and a group of people to look for the National Guard Station, is a dumb idea. They should have only had two people go, so that if things go sideways, their group does not lose a lot of people.
I like that Maggie did not want to be away from Glenn so soon after they were married, so she offered to go with him and find the National Guard Station.
Oh, so Rick DID stay behind this time. GOOD. It is way past time that he stop thinking he can do anything and everything, especially now that he is down one hand.
I get that Rick wanted to go with Glenn and the other's who are going to look for the National Guard Station, but the way he is acting, is like a child throwing a tantrum.
Holy crap, you stupid whore. Why the HELL did you have to go and bring up Shane? Rick already knows WAY more than he needs to know about your affair with the psycho.
I do not like Shane, but Lori should NOT have been all, 'wham bam, thank you ma'am.' She should have manned up and accepted the situation she was in, without being a whore and sleeping with her husband's best friend.

I liked that we got to see some of the group playing basketball, it felt like they were all having a small moment of normalcy from their lives before the end of the world.
If they were going to talk about clothes, I feel like Andrea should have called another meeting with the whole group, and told them about her new plans for making clothes.
I am glad that Rick tried to immediately comfort Carl, when it seemed like he had forgotten that his father's hand had been chopped off. It was a nice thing to do and I am glad Lori did not butt in and say anything.
Dale has a point. They can not defend themselves against the Governor and the people of Woodbury. They do not have the manpower, or anywhere near the amount of weapons they would need to defend themselves and the prison.
And once again, RICK is leaving. I am starting to think there might actually be more to what Carl was saying a few issues back, about his father not loving him and his mother enough.
Rick should have just sent other people out to look for the National Guard Station. He should have stayed back at the prison to protect his family and the rest of the group, if the Governor and his group attacked.
So, I kind of think that them taking the RV and a group of people to look for the National Guard Station, is a dumb idea. They should have only had two people go, so that if things go sideways, their group does not lose a lot of people.
I like that Maggie did not want to be away from Glenn so soon after they were married, so she offered to go with him and find the National Guard Station.
Oh, so Rick DID stay behind this time. GOOD. It is way past time that he stop thinking he can do anything and everything, especially now that he is down one hand.
I get that Rick wanted to go with Glenn and the other's who are going to look for the National Guard Station, but the way he is acting, is like a child throwing a tantrum.
Holy crap, you stupid whore. Why the HELL did you have to go and bring up Shane? Rick already knows WAY more than he needs to know about your affair with the psycho.

You almost feel bad for the cast of a Kirkman comic when everything is quiet as just know that there's a tornado of shite coming to roll in.

Volume: The Walking Dead
Title: The Calm Before, Pt. 1
Creator/Writer: Robert Kirkman
Artist: Charlie Adlard
Colorist: Cliff Rathburn
Cover: Charlie Adlard; Cliff Rathburn
Letterer: Rus Wooton
Publisher/Date: Image/ 5/1/2007
Length/Format: 30/ Digital Comics
Issue#: 37
Issue 37 of Walking Dead is a calm one following the action of the previous issue, and preceding what looks to be lots more action. A pregnant Lori has flashbacks to when she and Shane slept together (while Rick, her husband, was in a coma) right at the start of the zombie outbreak. Maggie and Glenn get married. Michonne and Tyreese get close again after the horrible things she went through in the last few issues. The gang decides they need more weapons in case the town nearby tries to attack, so half of them pile into the RV and head for the National Guard station rumored to be close.
Previously. After helping Rick and crew escape from Woodbury, Martinez slipped away to reveal the location of the prison, a much safer stronghold, to the people of Woodbury. Rick refused to let this happen. He chased Martinez down and murdered him. Now it is clear that Woodbury is looking for them -- and it's only a matter of time until they find the prison and try to take it -- with force.
The Best.
Lori keeps calling the baby him, Rick has a panicked moment realizing that don't have any baby stuff.
Alice is really taking pride in trying to make the medical center better.
Glenn and Maggie getting married! I realized that with Maggie cutting her hair she's the "butch" one in the group not Carol like in the TV series. Maggie tackling Glenn after they get married.
Carol trying to talk to Lori about Andrea making cloths.
Boys vs Girls basketball game.
The Worst.
Lori keeps dwelling in the past, and with Shane of all people.
Carol being creepy now with Alice. Can that woman seriously not be normal?
I don't know if Tyreese was actually just offering to have sex with Michonne with the "Do you want to", but that face of his when she starts bursting into tears and him holding her was priceless.
Lori complaining about not having maternity clothes.
The whole conversation with Carl and Rick about Rick's big "boo-boo". On one hand he wants Carl to be grown up and then the other calling it a big boo-boo.
The Differences.
Alice never went to the prison since she wasn't a character in the show.
Michonne and Tyreese never hook up.
Rick doesn't get his arm cut off so he never has the conversation with Carl.
Those Remembered. None
Recommend. To fans of The Walking Dead Universe, zombies, horror dramas, and apocalypse style stories.

Rick's face on the last page is so funny.

Finally, a flashback of Lori and Shane. I've never been particularly fond of Lori as a character, and this certainly didn't help, though, I guess under the circumstances, some leeway could be given. But, yeah, only a little leeway. There were some interesting panels that showed some juxtaposition between the way that each "society" found ways to entertain themselves; one group plays basketball, while one group has dog fights, er, human fights.

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.

Este problema es una calma después de la acción de la edición anterior, y antes de lo que parece ser mucho más acción. La banda decide que necesitan más armas en caso de que el pueblo cercano intenta atacar, así que la mitad de ellos se acumulan en el RV y dirigirse a la estación de la Guardia Nacional se rumorea que estar cerca. La verdad que este cómic no me ha aportado nada sobre la historia.
