Read this one as part of a readathon, so it would be a quick easy read. Pretty good issue too, hopefully the next one will be just as good.

Coming off the tense confession cliffhanger from the last issue, my curiosity was piqued. With Lori finally opening up about her past with Shane, I’m eager to see how Rick handles the weight of that revelation, especially amid the constant survival battles they face. Meanwhile, the group’s journey to the National Guard Station brings a sense of high-stakes preparation, hoping it arms them with the resources they’ll need if, or more likely when, the Governor and Woodbury soldiers eventually return.
The issue starts with Lori telling Rick that she needs to talk about Shane, sparking a vulnerable moment between them. Rick, in a way I didn’t expect, already knows. His voice gets quiet and firm, telling her to stop, that he already figured it out. It’s almost as if Rick’s way of “knowing” is a method of protecting himself, avoiding hearing the painful truth directly from Lori. Lori, remorseful and on the verge of tears, apologizes, and Rick’s resolve cracks just a little as he begins to cry. Their relationship is already strained by so much loss, but it’s clear Rick has done his own mental math to reach a certain peace with it—for himself and for the sake of their survival together.
The next scene opens with a lighter, albeit slightly comical note, as Andrea wakes up in Dale’s RV with Tyreese’s sock-covered feet inches from her face. The RV has become an uncomfortable refuge, and Andrea’s frustration with the smells and lack of space is palpable. As she wakes up, Axel, who’s been guarding the RV all night, decides it’s time for a break, while Andrea and Tyreese step outside to get some fresh air. Tyreese, trying his hand at Andrea’s sniper rifle, accidentally misfires. It’s a reminder that Tyreese, for all his strength, is a novice when it comes to firearms—a vulnerability that Andrea acknowledges as she offers him pointers. The bond between them is developing in these small moments of support and shared skills, adding a sense of camaraderie to the bleakness of their journey.
Back at the prison, Rick checks in with Alice, who is monitoring Lori’s pregnancy. Alice estimates that Lori’s due date is around the corner, possibly within the week, amplifying the urgency of preparing for the baby’s arrival in such dangerous circumstances. The tenderness Rick shows toward Lori in these moments, despite everything, adds layers to his resilience and commitment to family, even amidst the revelations and unspoken rifts that lie between them.
Meanwhile, on the road, Axel discovers a sign for Woodbury while the group tries to orient themselves toward the National Guard Station. I found this an interesting foreshadowing of future trouble—it’s a stark reminder that their enemies are closer than they’d like.
In another touching, quieter scene, Patricia joins Hershel in the garden. Still grieving for Otis, she discusses how the mounting losses weigh heavily on her, thinking back on Lacey, Arnold, and Shawn Greene. Hershel’s quiet “amen” speaks volumes—he understands all too well the pain of losing loved ones. In this interaction, the garden becomes more than just a source of food; it’s a place where Patricia and Hershel can reflect on the people they’ve lost, holding onto hope amidst their grief.
At the National Guard Station, the team splits up to search for ammunition and resources. Glenn’s excitement at discovering a fully fueled truck is contagious, adding a moment of levity and surprise. His enthusiasm lightens the mood, making the team’s task seem almost like an adventure rather than a life-or-death supply run. However, Maggie’s intentions to get a crib “or maybe two” for Lori brings up an unexpected possibility—she may be pregnant, though she isn’t sure. The idea brings an emotional mix of hope and fear, underscoring how life, even amidst death, pushes forward in the most unpredictable ways.
As the group begins packing up, Andrea voices a bold idea: blow up the National Guard Station to prevent the Woodbury soldiers from scavenging supplies. Tyreese, despite some hesitation, agrees. As they drive away, the explosion rocks the facility, leaving it in ruins behind them. The decision to destroy the station is a massive gamble—effective in depriving Woodbury of resources, but with its own risks, as the smoke and sound could attract unwanted attention. For me, this decision adds a sense of recklessness to the group’s determination, a willingness to take extreme measures for their safety, yet one that could potentially backfire.
But the tension doesn't let up. The group stops at a Walmart on their way back, hoping to grab anything useful. Maggie’s thoughts drift back to Lori’s baby, leading her to grab cribs for the prison. Andrea catches her in the act, and they share a brief, hopeful exchange about the future and the possibility of Maggie herself becoming a mother. However, the moment of peace is short-lived. Just as Glenn and Tyreese start packing up, they notice several Woodbury soldiers approaching the store.
I found Rick’s reaction to Lori’s confession to be both sad and insightful. His way of cutting her off from confessing about Shane felt like a protective instinct, as though saying it out loud would make the betrayal more real. It’s a mix of acceptance and denial—a way to shield himself from the pain while allowing him to hold onto what’s left of their relationship. In the unforgiving world they live in, holding onto any semblance of peace and unity, even in silence, might be the only way forward for him.
Glenn’s truck moment was great—unexpected and perfectly timed to lighten the mood. I also liked how the group took initiative to destroy the National Guard Station. However, the decision brings its own tension; I worry that it might draw the Woodbury forces toward them more quickly than they’re prepared for.
The cliffhanger with the Woodbury soldiers in Walmart raises a ton of questions and fears. Are they prepared to fight? And will Maggie, Glenn, Tyreese, and the others make it out safely? This issue leaves off with so much suspense, and I’m left wondering just how much more the group will be forced to sacrifice as they fight for survival.

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.

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.

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.

When someone says, "OH SHIT".....Surely, something unbearable has come up.
November 12, 2018
Andrea & Co. are on the road, trying to find the National Guard.
One thing I don't get, they're trying to conserve bullets but here's this lone zombie so Tyreese is like 'let me try to shoot it', he misses then Andrea is like 'Here let me get it, can't waste any more bullets', LIKE WHAT?! It's one damn zombie, it's pretty close, stab it in the head bish, now you just wasted two bullets! Seriously, these people deserve is have no bullets if this is their way. Good Lord.
Anyhoo, they find the Guard place thingy, get some extra gas, a new ride, ammunition. Then they blow up the place because that was smart *eye rolls*.
They go past Walmart or wherever, Maggie is like 'I'm getting two cots, one for Lori then *wink wink* who knows who else could get pregnant' like no. Getting purposely pregnant in the apocalypse is something I'll never understand ever. You just asking for trouble.
Then some bad (I assume) dudes turn up, guessing they saw the blown up Station Guard place thingy, BECAUSE THAT WAS SMART, ANDREA! LET'S BLOW IT UP, WHAT COULD GO WRONG, ANDREA?
Mean while, back at the prison Lori's cervix is dilated.

This issue is about preparation for war and Baby Grimes. I was a bit disappointed they blew up the National Guard Station. I can see why to a certain degree, but that was just going to cause unwanted attention.

Momento drammatico tra rick e lori , ma giustificato direi
Far esplodere la guardia nazionale, gran bell idea
Peccato perché ora siete braccati dal governatore

They really should have take the tank.

Maybe it was a better idea to rob the store then blow the armoury. Lots of talking heads and not a lot of walkers, and Adlard injects atmosphere throughout.

Although Rick has a right to be upset that Lori slept with Shane, and Shane fell in love with Lori and then tried to kill him, Rick needs to chill the fuck out. If I were Lori, I would tell Rick to kiss my ass and stop talking to me like that.
All the time that Tyreese and Andrea spent talking, could have been used more wisely, like them continuing to look for the National Guard Station, instead of just standing around.
Andrea and Tyreese are stupid for wasting a bullet on that zombie. Once AGAIN, they should have brought some shovels with them, and used the shovels to hit the zombie and take it out.
Save the bullets for the REAL threat, as in the Governor and his group, or a HORDE of zombies, not just one. Use what is left of your brains, people! Come on, now!
That was stupid of Andrea to let Tyreese try and shoot the zombie when he has no idea what he is doing. She should have saved the bullet and used a shovel to kill it, like I said a moment ago.
Again, too much talking, and not enough driving. Get going to find those crazies and kill them! The Governor is not going to stop until he takes all of you out and get what he wants.
Thank GOD, Lori is close to having the baby. Maybe when she is not pregnant, she will be less annoying and less of a bitch. Maybe, but I doubt that will happen. I can hope, though.
Axel just cracks me up. When he and Glenn were talking about him going to the bathroom a little farther away from the RV, it had me cracking up laughing.
Axel is so gross, and so funny. I am glad that he found the sign that told them where to find the National Guard Station. Now they can stop chasing their tails.
And AGAIN, spending WAY too much time standing around and talking when they should be worried more about finding any kind of ammo or weapons, and getting the hell out of there before the Governor and his people show up.
Alice is NOT inspiring much confidence with saying that she has no idea what she is doing and how things are going to go with Lori and the baby when Lori goes into labor.
It might be true, but it would be better if she did not say that she does not know what she is doing. Who is going to want her to take care of them if she has no idea what she is doing?
I agree that it was a good idea for them to set the National Guard Station on fire, so that the Governor and his group can not use it anymore. I hope they took a ton of cans of gas.
Although I know they found some stuff by going and raiding the Walmart, I think it was dumb to be there for so long. I am NOT surprised that those guys showed up.
Loved this issue and wonder how they are going to get rid of those guys who showed up.

Preparation for war.
Previously. After Rick's encounter with Martinez and the realization of the threat Woodbury now faces, Tyreese formed a group to go out in search of a National Guard Station, rumored to have a stockpile of weapons. Tyreese took Andrea, Axel, Michonne and newlyweds Glenn and Maggie with him. Meanwhile, back at the prison, Lori told Rick she needed to talk to him about Shane.
The Best.
Rick's shocked face after Lori tells him she wants to talk about Shane.
Rick taking responsibility for the baby whether it is his or not. Would have been tough without the walkers and the world ending.
Andrea waking up to Tyreese's feet in her face.
Andrea trying to teach Tyreese how to shoot a rifle.
Axel peeing on the Woodbury sign and Glenn wanting him to walk a bit away so that Maggie and the other ladies didn't have to see "him".
They got supplies from the armory and blew it up.
The Worst.
Axel always saying "You follow me?"
While shopping at the Wal-mart the group of men from Woodbury come in search of what happened to the armory.
The Differences.
The group didn't know anything about the armory.
The group never encountered another group at the Wal-mart type store they went to, to get supplies, instead they run into walkers.
Those Remembered. Walkers, nothing but walkers.
Recommend. To the fans of The Walking Dead Universe, zombies, horror dramas, and apocalypse style stories.

Road trip! It was nice to see a change of setting for a change, and to possibly see what the outside of the prison was like. I was happy to see a passing mention of a demised character, since it seems like only one person actually noticed or cared. Though, given their new world, why bother forming attachments. Good cliffhanger.

I have seen the show so I decided to read the graphic novels. The show is different, but the plot is essentially the same, awesome!
