A farmer has been keeping TWD in his barn; he thinks that a 'cure' could be found in the future (?) - so they just keep putting them in the barn. You can guess what happens next - ZOMBIE CRITICAL MASS! Just a really bad idea (Rick tries to warn him) that comes back to 'bite' them in the a**! Sorry - I just could not resist the bad zombie humor attempt!

still amazing issues

I found this issue to be better than the last one, it had better character interaction and more action. I will say I definitely think the TV show handled the whole 'walkers in the barn' scenario better, the comic doesn't do the intensity justice.
But overall, I liked this issue.
Also Allen is a prick & I stan Andrea, she my girl.

Issue #11 of The Walking Dead delves into one of the most significant and morally complex moments in the series thus far, as it confronts the secret Hershel has been keeping on his farm—the barn filled with the undead. Unlike the TV adaptation, where Glenn stumbles upon the barn's contents by accident, in the comic Hershel openly admits to storing walkers there. This creates a philosophical clash between Rick and Hershel, setting the tone for a gripping and emotionally charged issue.
Rick’s reaction is visceral—immediate fear for his group's safety drives him to advocate for killing all the zombies in the barn. He’s firm, bordering on ruthless, but his protective instinct is clear. Hershel, on the other hand, is emotionally torn, still clinging to the belief that the walkers, especially his son Shawn, might not be truly lost. His heartbreak is palpable, and despite Rick’s logical reasoning, Hershel can’t easily let go of his hope. This dramatic conflict provides depth, highlighting the differences in how each man processes loss and survival in a world overrun by the dead.
One of the most intense scenes unfolds when Hershel attempts to move a walker back into the barn, only for chaos to erupt. In his attempt to keep the walkers under control, he loses both his son Arnold and his daughter Lacey. The tragedy hits hard, and the shift in Hershel’s perspective from naive hope to devastating acceptance is stark. The moment when Hershel contemplates suicide is one of the most heartbreaking in the series so far, but Rick pulling him back from the brink adds a raw, emotional weight to their relationship.
Another notable difference from the show is the tension between Chris and Tyreese. Chris's primary concern seems to be his own desires, especially his obsession with having sex with Julie, while Tyreese is rightfully concerned with protecting his daughter. Chris’s dismissive attitude toward Tyreese's protective instincts is infuriating, and it paints Chris in a selfish and somewhat reckless light, in stark contrast to Tyreese's dedication as a father. It adds another layer of tension in the group, as Tyreese begins to see Chris in a negative light.
The issue opens with Rick and Hershel having a tense confrontation about the farm’s dark secret. Hershel admits that he’s been keeping the undead in the barn, hoping to find a cure or at least maintain control over them. Rick is horrified and makes it clear that the walkers are a danger to everyone on the farm, especially his own group. He tells Hershel they need to kill the zombies, stating that they are not sick—they are dead and dangerous. Hershel reveals the personal connection he has to one of the walkers, his son Shawn, who was bitten and turned before the group arrived at the farm. This revelation complicates the situation, as Hershel's emotional attachment to his son blinds him to the reality of the danger they face.
Rick, showing some sympathy, apologizes, but Hershel lashes out, physically knocking Rick to the ground in a burst of grief and frustration. This explosive moment encapsulates Hershel’s inner turmoil—he’s not just fighting Rick, but also his own inability to fully accept that his son is gone. The fight is only diffused when Tyreese steps in, calming Rick and reminding him that this isn’t the way. Hershel, too, tries to regain his composure, insisting that the barn is safe and that the walkers pose no threat as long as they are contained.
Later that night, Rick finds Allen sitting outside the RV, struggling with his own grief over the loss of his wife, Donna. Allen reveals that he heard her voice the night before, a sign that he’s starting to break down mentally under the weight of his sorrow. Rick tries to console him, but it’s clear that Allen’s pain runs deep, and there’s no easy comfort for him. Meanwhile, Glenn and Maggie sneak off together, continuing their developing relationship, which offers a rare moment of intimacy and connection in the midst of all the darkness.
The following day, Rick apologizes to Hershel for their earlier confrontation, and they both agree to move forward. Rick offers Hershel some guns and ammunition, hoping to better prepare the group for any future dangers. They begin gun training for the survivors, but things take a dark turn when Hershel attempts to bring a stray walker back into the barn. In a tragic and chaotic sequence, the barn doors are accidentally opened, releasing a flood of walkers.
Arnold, Hershel’s son, saves his father but is bitten by Shawn in the process. Lacey is attacked and devoured by several walkers, leaving Hershel utterly devastated. As the horror unfolds, Hershel’s hope that the walkers could somehow be saved is shattered. The grief of losing both Arnold and Lacey in such a brutal way causes Hershel to finally accept that Rick was right—these are not sick people, they are monsters. Hershel joins Rick and the others in putting down the remaining walkers, including his son Shawn.
After the chaos, Hershel is left broken and despondent, putting a gun to his head in a moment of utter despair. Rick, however, stops him, pulling him back from the edge. This moment solidifies Rick's role as a leader and protector, not just of his group but of the people he encounters along the way. It’s a testament to his resilience and empathy, despite the constant horrors he faces.
The issue concludes with a somber funeral for Arnold and Lacey, where Hershel acknowledges that Rick was right all along. The emotional toll of the issue is heavy, as the group is forced to confront the harsh reality of the world they live in. Amidst all this, Julie and Chris talk to Tyreese about the guns, hinting at a mysterious plan they have. Tyreese tells them to keep the guns for safety, but the seeds of suspicion are sown.
This issue of The Walking Dead is a pivotal one, marked by devastating losses and the emotional evolution of key characters. Hershel's breakdown and eventual acceptance of the truth about the walkers is both tragic and compelling. Rick’s leadership is once again tested, and his ability to navigate both the emotional and physical dangers of the apocalypse shines through. The death of Hershel’s children serves as a brutal reminder that in this world, holding on to hope can sometimes lead to devastating consequences. This issue encapsulates the essence of The Walking Dead—a bleak, emotional journey where survival often means confronting hard truths and letting go of the past.

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.

Again with this issue I felt the pacing was fast. The walkers coming out of the barn could have been drawn out a bit more. I think I prefer how the tv show handled it then how the comics did. I did feel bad for Hershel though and I'm still not liking how Allen is treating Andrea.

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.

Muy fuerte lo que ha pasado en este volumen con los caminantes. Aunque si reconozco que ciertas cosas pasaron demasiado rápido. ¡El final me dice o pienso que las cosas se pondrán más intensas ahora!
No me gusta como Allen se está comportando con Andrea, ella solo dice verdades y él la critica. En fin , esperemos que luego se disculpe con ella.
Ya no queda nada para que salga el Gobernador.

Kejadian yang dikhawatirkan Rick setelah mengetahui rahasia di peternakan pun terjadi. Tanpa diprediksi sebelumnya, para zombie yang ada di dalam kandang tiba-tiba berhasil keluar dan memakan salah satu anak Hershel Greene. Hershel akhirnya sadar bahwa keputusannya untuk memasukkan para zombie ke dalam kandang karena suatu hari nanti mereka bisa kembali sembuh, ternyata adalah kesalahan besar. Sejak kejadian itu, Rick dkk. serta para penghuni peternakan jadi lebih siaga.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

This was not one of my favorite issues. Hershel believed the walkers were still people and could be saved, but ends up with a change of heart. Unfortunately there might be issues in the future for Tyreese. Many similarities been the graphic novels and the tv series, and it is fun to compare the two.
January 1, 2025
I support Herschel’s rights and his wrongs!! He’s going through enough let’s not attack him! I hateeeee Chris so bad, he’s is disgusting and I hope Tyreese kills him before he has chance to take Julie with him.

Rick is finally getting settles into his new life. He's got a roof over his head, and a pretty secure shelter, and he's surrounded by people who he's come to know as friends. Over all, life is good, and after the last few months he's been through, he welcomes this change. But things can't stay like this forever. Something bad looks just beyond the horizon. Something really bad.
The Best. The cover! I have to say, Tony Moore did an excellent job on this issues cover. When Hershel tells Rick, I keep the walkers in the barn its almost to much to handle, but then Tony Moore goes and pulls this amazing detailed and to the point cover out that really describes this issue all by itself. Broken record time! Charlie Adlard did an amazing job yet again. I really love the attention to detail this crew gives to these comics. I really like the walkers from the barn.
The Worst. Glenn and Maggie. I know I stated that they were sickly cute earlier, but come on. There is a huge argument about walkers in the barn, next to where your going to be staying and sleeping and your going to run off and hook up..... The barn walkers and Hershel for thinking that he could really keep 14 walkers without ever having an issue. Hershel trying to shoot himself in the head after the barn attack. Chris! I don't even know how else to say it, but man this dude is the real bastard. First he tells Julie that he'll play it her way but he doesn't want to wait forever to be with her, and now he is calling Julie's dad a bastard. I understand the whole, father to boyfriend drama circle going on but dude, the worlds gone to hell and isn't looking any better and your going to call the biggest dude in the group who just also happens to be the father of your girlfriend a bastard to the girls face. I don't really know which is worse here, Chris or Julie.
The Differences. Well, Hershel didn't have so many children and in turn didn't lose so many to the barn. In the TV series he has two daughters, Maggie and Beth and one son, Shawn, as well as Shawn's Mother, Annette. Shawn in the TV series was also put inside the barn along with Annette. At this point of the issue, in the TV series Shane is the one who opens the barn door after discovering Rick and Hershel trying to put another walker inside the barn. Hershel doesn't lift a gun to kill any of the walkers and know other members of Hershel's family are attacked by them.
Those Remembered. All of the Greene's friends and neighbors.
Shawn, Hershel's son, got attacked by walkers and placed inside the barn.
Arnold and Lacey, Hershel's son and daughter, got attacked by Shawn and other walkers from the barn while trying to help protect Hershel from being attacked.\
Recommend: To all the fans of The Walking Dead Universe, zombies, and drama horror.

The Differences. Well, Hershel didn't have so many children and in turn didn't lose so many to the barn. In the TV series he has two daughters, Maggie and Beth and one son, Shawn, as well as Shawn's Mother, Annette. Shawn in the TV series was also put inside the barn along with Annette. At this point of the issue, in the TV series Shane is the one who opens the barn door after discovering Rick and Hershel trying to put another walker inside the barn. Hershel doesn't lift a gun to kill any of the walkers and know other members of Hershel's family are attacked by them.
Those Remembered. All of the Greene's friends and neighbors.
Shawn, Hershel's son, got attacked by walkers and placed inside the barn.
Arnold and Lacey, Hershel's son and daughter, got attacked by Shawn and other walkers from the barn while trying to help protect Hershel from being attacked.\
Recommend: To all the fans of The Walking Dead Universe, zombies, and drama horror.

Rick is right. Hershel is crazy for keeping those zombies locked up in a barn not far from their house.
Hershel is lucky the zombies have not gotten out and attacked anyone yet. Just give it time though, bet it will happen soon enough.
I kind of get where Hershel is coming from with wanting and hoping to cure the zombies, but it is just not going to happen. If the government were still intact, then maybe, but since it is not, there is no chance of that happening now.
I agree with Rick, they should open the barn and shoot all the zombies, make sure they are dead and can not hurt anyone. I have no idea why Hershel would risk it, hope for a cure or not.
Hershel needs to stop running his mouth and listen to Rick. Rick is the one who has been dealing with the zombies and the bullcrap for a lot longer than Hershel has. Rick knows what he is talking about.
Hershel is just hanging on to the foolish hopes of an old man and needs to get his mind right before he and/or the rest of his family end up dead, which would be sad.
So, Hershel does not want to kill the zombies because he is under the delusion they will get better. Well Hershel, keep those zombies in your barn for a couple of months. Listen to their moaning, and then tell me if you still think they will go back to normal. Fool.
While I do feel sorry for Allen who just lost his wife, I think he needs to man up. Yes, he should spend a few days grieving for the loss of his wife, but then he needs to get his head on straight and take care of his sons. They need him to be there for them and look out for them.
Allen needs to take his anger that is not really about Andrew and shove it up his ass. He needs to mourn and then move on. There is no time for him to be sitting around and not being helpful to Rick and the rest of the group. Everyone needs to pitch in to ensure the survival of the group.
So, what I'm wondering, is who fired the shot at Hershel that caused him to fall and leave the barn door open, which enabled the zombies to get free?
I knew that the zombies would get loose and raise hell once they were out of that barn. On the one hand I feel sorry for Hershel for losing 3 of his children, but he should have known something like that would happen.
As for Chris and Julie getting to keep their guns, I am not sure that was a good idea on Tyreese's part. I have a feeling that Chris and Julie are going to do something really stupid.
LOVED this issue, now that we have gotten rid of a bit of baggage and can not wait to read the next issue. :)

I knew there was going to be a big catch to this place. Hershel's barn is housing a whole host of (now starved) zombies. A roamer wanders on to the farm, and Hershel insists on trying to save it. Of course, that all goes wrong, and people die when the zombies break out of the barn. Hershel caves, and shoots all the zombies dead. He almost shoots himself, but Rick doesn't allow it.
Then we get to the ending. Tyreese's daughter and her boyfriend ... they are up to something. I have a feeling I am not going to like them very soon. Also, how very Stephen King's "The Stand" would that be if these two turned "evil." We shall see...

Hershel admits to housing the zombies until a cure is found.
Rick acts like Shane and freaks out about the barn full of zombies. He wants to kill them all.
Hershel doesn't have a problem with Rick having target practice on his land. He actually says his older kids should be involved.
Carol is seen with a book. Instead of a scene with Lori at the CDC it is Rick who asks where she got the book.
A zombie walks around the target practice. Rick wants to kill it but instead Hershel leads it to his barn. This is how the zombies get out.
Arnold gets bit by Shawn who is Hershel's son who is in the barn.
Lacy also gets bit.
Hershel then admits that Rick is right and when you are dead you are no longer the same person.

Warnings: Violence. Language. In this thrilling comic, we learn that the farmer who's hosting Rick and the gang is hosting a slew of zombies (including his own son) in the barn. Hershel is convinced that the zombies can be brought back in the future, once the epidemic is over. He refuses to shoot his son because he doesn't know if they can feel or think. Rick and the others will take drastic measures to assume their safety, but is it at the risk of being removed from Hershel's farm forever?
I'm a big time fan of the Walking Dead television series and want to read through all the comics before the new season starts. I know how this part of the story ends, hence I decided to read this particular book. Personally, I feel as if Rick and company make the right decision in the end.

Hershel Greene drops the bombshell of just what they have been doing with their walkers (notably he refers to them as "zombies" so he's obviously seen a film or two to give him a clue!) and Rick understandably doesn't take it too well; can't say I would sleep sound next to a barn of the undead. Issue wraps up with a nice bit of carnage that the series is known for. This is how to pull off a one and done self-contained issue. Perfect.
It amuses me that Kirkman wonders in the old letters page how Charlie would feel continuing to work on the book up until #150. I think Charlie did ok!

A lot of the characters are starting to look the same, hard to tell them apart. Some people die in this one, didn't even know who they were really. Still a good story though, doesn't linger nearly as long at the barn as the TV series did.

Lots of zombie action going on in this issue and probably the most violent of the series thus far. Instead of being completely graphic, the illustrations are somewhat abstract, leaving much to your imagination, which can be better or worse depending on who you are.
