Oh no... *sigh*

Good issue, but more gruesome than the last few.

I think this guy is telling The Governor what he wants to hear. I don't think that Michonne's dead and I think that she'll be extremely pissed off when she finds out that the Governor and his people have her sword.
I agree with Rick that they need to have a backup plan in case things go bad. There's no telling what the Governor's going to do next, so it's in all of their best interests to have an escape plan ready if needed.
Rick needs to listen to Alice. She's the one who knows what she's talking about, and he just needs to shut the fuck up and deal with it. When it comes to medical stuff, Alice is the one in charge.
Once again, Rick needs to stop giving Carl false hope. I can understand that he doesn't want his son to worry with everything that's going on, but lying to the poor kid is never a good idea.
I'm torn on how I feel about Rick giving Carl his gun back. On the one hand, I'm glad Carl has his gun back, because now he can protect himself and others. But on the other hand, I'm still worried that he'll treat the gun like a toy, or accidentally shoot and kill one of the members of their own group.
Blech. That was really gross. If I were Alice and I'd have walked in on Axel and Patricia having sex, I'd want to bleach that memory out of my brain for the rest of my life.
For the first time ever, I loved the scenes between Hershel and Billy. It helps that Hershel wasn't losing his damn mind and hitting his dang son. Anyway, I just loved those scenes.
I'm starting to hate it when Rick calls Judith, Judy. I don't like that at all. Call the kid by her real name, or risk confusing her when she starts to talk. Ugh. Just can't stand it.
Oh shit! There's a truck coming at the prison. They're in deep shit. Hope that Rick and the rest of the group can either get away, or kill the Governor and his group.
Damn! I had forgotten that the Governor and his people had Tyreese. Not Tyreese! Don't kill him! Fucking PIECE OF SHIT! I HATE that Tyreese just died!
I'm with Billy. I'd have started shooting at those fuckers, too. It's horrible that the zombies are now gonna eat what's left of Tyreese. Damn, damn, damn! Tyreese was one of my favorite characters!
And, there goes the Governor lying his ass off again. These people at Woodbury are all dumb as a pile of rocks for believing the bullshit that comes out of the Governor's mouth.
HELL YES, MOTHERFUCKER! GO MICHONNE! What an awesome ending to this issue!

After the shocking events of Issue #45, with Tyreese’s capture and Gabe’s claim that Michonne was dead, I felt uneasy diving into Issue #46. The tension is at an all-time high; with Rick injured, their defenses shaken, and a brutal attack looming over the group, it felt like the stakes had never been higher.
The issue opens with Tyreese in captivity, having been brutally taken by The Governor and his forces. Gabe, one of The Governor’s men, believes that Michonne was killed when she ran off, but we quickly sense that something about his confidence in her death is off. When The Governor questions Gabe, Gabe weakly asserts that she fell after he fired at her, but he never confirms a clean kill. This ambiguity already had me hoping that Michonne’s strength and skill would keep her alive, even though we still don’t know her exact fate.
Back at the prison, the survivors are painfully aware of the need to prepare for a sudden escape if the Woodbury forces break through. Rick, despite being severely injured, takes charge, urging everyone to get the trucks packed with essentials, just in case they need to flee. He speaks with Lori, telling her to get Judith (Judy) inside immediately if they hear trucks or gunfire. Though his resolve is inspiring, it’s heartbreaking to see him struggle, especially as he tries to reassure Carl. Rick hands Carl his gun, telling him they may have to separate, but promising he’ll catch up, even though Carl can see the pain and doubt on his father’s face.
The issue gives us a brief but interesting scene with Alice, who stumbles on Axel and Patricia in a private moment. It’s a rare glimpse of intimacy, reminding us that even in these dire times, the need for human connection and comfort endures. Axel later reflects on how much the prison has become his home, saying he wouldn’t have left even if he’d had the chance. It’s a moving moment, showing us that the prison is more than just a shelter; it’s their fragile sanctuary, worth fighting for even in the face of relentless attacks.
As the night falls, the ominous silence is shattered when Billy spots a truck approaching, signaling the enemy’s return. With The Governor driving and Tyreese in his custody, things quickly spiral. The Governor pulls Tyreese out of the truck, holding him hostage as leverage. He gives Rick an ultimatum: open the prison gates, or he’ll kill Tyreese. Tyreese, defiant to the end, screams to Rick not to comply, urging his friends to prioritize their safety over his own life.
What follows is one of the most brutal and devastating moments in the series so far. In a horrific display of cruelty, The Governor uses Michonne’s own katana to decapitate Tyreese right in front of his friends, who are powerless to stop him. It’s a shocking, gut-wrenching sight that left me feeling the sheer hopelessness and rage Rick and the others must be feeling. To add insult to injury, The Governor desecrates Tyreese’s remains, mocking the survivors and kicking his head toward the undead horde waiting nearby. The Governor and his men then retreat, leaving the traumatized group to process the atrocity they just witnessed.
Alice, understandably shaken, doubts if she has the strength to endure this. Rick, now desperate and enraged, tells her they have no choice—if they don’t stay strong, Tyreese’s sacrifice will have been in vain. The weight of the situation presses down hard on the group as they realize the full extent of The Governor’s merciless nature. At this point, it seems like every bit of hope has been stripped from them. How can they survive, let alone hold onto their humanity, when faced with such a monstrous foe?
Just as the tension reaches a breaking point, we get a shocking twist that reignites a spark of hope: Michonne is alive. As The Governor and his men discuss their next move, he realizes too late that Michonne has survived, and she has the element of surprise on her side. In a powerful closing scene, Michonne emerges, holding a gun to The Governor’s head—a moment of reckoning and justice that fans had been eagerly awaiting. The look on The Governor’s face speaks volumes; for the first time, he’s the one caught off guard, and Michonne’s return feels like a small but significant victory amidst the overwhelming darkness.
This issue took me on an emotional rollercoaster. The prison group’s preparations showed just how much resilience they’ve built up, despite being battered by constant losses. Rick’s injuries have left him vulnerable, both physically and emotionally, and yet he still bears the burden of leadership. Seeing him impart that weight to Carl was heartbreaking, as he knows they may need to leave each other if things go wrong. His quiet moments with Judith and Lori, where he faces his own fears, remind us that he’s a father as much as a leader, and his desire to protect his family, even in the face of probable death, is incredibly moving.
Axel’s unexpected attachment to the prison reveals the community they’ve built in this bleak world. He sees it as his home, a place worth defending, even if it means facing near-certain death. This is what makes The Governor’s actions so chilling—he’s not just attacking a building but tearing apart a home, trying to obliterate any semblance of security or peace the group has fought so hard to establish.
The Governor’s barbaric execution of Tyreese and his twisted manipulation of the truth to his men only deepen the hatred readers must feel for him. It’s infuriating and sickening, but also a testament to Kirkman’s ability to make us despise his antagonists. Tyreese’s brutal end is heartbreaking, a reminder that in this world, no one is safe, and even the most beloved characters can be taken in the most horrific ways.
And then, there’s Michonne. The revelation that she’s alive felt like a powerful, well-earned comeback. Her resilience and fierce determination to exact justice provide a glimmer of hope amid the darkness. I’m on the edge of my seat wondering what she’ll do next. Will she take this moment to end The Governor’s reign of terror, or will this just be another step in their ongoing battle?
This issue is a whirlwind of emotions, tragedy, and resilience. From Tyreese’s gut-wrenching death to Michonne’s triumphant return, Issue #46 serves as a powerful testament to the story’s ability to blend horror with raw, emotional storytelling. It’s both devastating and inspiring, pushing the survivors to their limits and showing us just how much they’ve endured—and how much they’re still willing to fight for.

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.

Im just too miserable to function. Tyreese was beheaded! Tyreese, he's gone!!!!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
September 14, 2022
Completely forgot how brutal Tyreese's end was
March 24, 2019
Jeez, bye Tyreese. I guess he took Hershel's place with the beheading from the show; I actually liked how the show did it, with Rick trying to reason with the Governor and he's like 'liar *swings sword*'. Here it's like Rick shrugged & went 'Eh he got himself in that situation. Bye beech'
I did like the ending with Michonne holding a gun to the Governor's head, like yes gurl. I kinda hope she tortures him more, I don't know, is that sorta sadistic? Maybe.
Lets see what happens next ... well I mean I know what happens next, I'm just waiting for a certain two characters to be gunned down in the cross fire because I think that's going to be brutal for a certain someone.
I'm trying to keep this as vague as possible, I know not everyone knows what happens in the comics. Why even bring it up? Eh, I'm just kinda excited to see some real action go down.

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.

Volvió el HDP del Gobernador mierda , y adiós a uno de mis personajes favoritos.

The survivors in the prison facility face an angry group of survivors who are intent in getting in by any means necessary, even killing Tyreese to get their way.
Previously. The shit has hit the fan.
The Best.
The artwork in this issue is simply outstanding. From the cover to the horror of Tyreese's body to that finally page with Michonne holding a gun on the Governor.
Carl looking like the Lone Ranger. Rick and Carl are prepping the backpack and Rick gives Carl back his gun. Carl just seems so haunted in these frames. He is afraid of whats happening but wants to be able to help.
That cliffhanger of a last page. I know I mentioned the amazing artwork of that page, but what a cliffhanger. It makes me just want to keep reading and by-pass trying to review these issues right now.
The Worst.
The relationship between Hershel and Billy. I know Billy has done some pretty stupid things and at times, can't pull his weight when trying to help the prison, but I don't really see what Billy has warranted Hershel's disapproval. At one point Billy asks Hershel if he has been praying, and Hershel states that it's times like these when praying does the most good, and that he even put in a good word for Billy. Did I simply miss Billy doing something so awful that he has to be prayed for to get a good word in with the man upstairs?
Tyreese being brought back to the prison. The Governor brings Tyreese back to the prison and gives the group an option of coming out or letting Tyreese die. And by Tyreese's own words, he says not to open the gates. The result is the hap-hazard way the Governor attempts to but Tyreese's head off. Not realizing just how much strength is needed to do such a thing, he ends up hacking the head off slowly with several chops. And just when we thought it couldn't get much worse the Governor kicks the body out and leaves it for the walkers.
The Governor will stop at nothing to make sure the people of Woodbury are so convinced that the people in the prison need to die, he will keep lying to them. First we realize this when, after Gabe brings back Martinez's head, we see him telling them it was left at the gates. Then he blames the prison group for torturing him, not fully explaining his actions that caused it. Then he blames them, after the first battle that they killed Tyreese to take away their leverage.
The Differences.
Tyreese doesn't die in the TV series at the prison, nor by the hands of the Governor.
The Governor does lie to the people of Woodbury, in fact he lies to every group he is ever with. However, at this point in time, he is on his own and the people in the prison are put the place back together with the rest of the residence of Woodbury.
Billy isn't at the prison. Having died much earlier at the farm, he never makes it to the prison.
Those Remembered. Tyreese, who got captured, tortured, and had his head cut off by Michonne's sword by the hands of the Governor.
Recommend. To the fans of The Walking Dead Universe, Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, Cliff Rathburn, Rus Wooton, zombies, horror dramas, and apocalypse stories.

The Best.
The artwork in this issue is simply outstanding. From the cover to the horror of Tyreese's body to that finally page with Michonne holding a gun on the Governor.
Carl looking like the Lone Ranger. Rick and Carl are prepping the backpack and Rick gives Carl back his gun. Carl just seems so haunted in these frames. He is afraid of whats happening but wants to be able to help.
That cliffhanger of a last page. I know I mentioned the amazing artwork of that page, but what a cliffhanger. It makes me just want to keep reading and by-pass trying to review these issues right now.
The Worst.
The relationship between Hershel and Billy. I know Billy has done some pretty stupid things and at times, can't pull his weight when trying to help the prison, but I don't really see what Billy has warranted Hershel's disapproval. At one point Billy asks Hershel if he has been praying, and Hershel states that it's times like these when praying does the most good, and that he even put in a good word for Billy. Did I simply miss Billy doing something so awful that he has to be prayed for to get a good word in with the man upstairs?

As the "Previously" of this issue said, "Sh&t has hit the fan." The cover art is quite telling, so there's a fairly heartbreaking, grotesque panel that does hit an emotional note. It was interesting to see how our characters responded to the situation. There's a bit of an unexpected "hook up," which frankly, I'm glad was shown. It's not surprising that people under ongoing, stressful situations, would choose to, um, release stress.
As an aside, in the Letters Section, several readers felt that the overall story pace was slow, and coupled with a few late releases of issues (in real time, back in 2007 or 2008, not years after the original publication), this could be somewhat understandable, if you've been waiting for months for some action to occur. But, the "Prison Arc," as a whole, works.

حقا لا أصدق ما أراه بعينى من وصول الرسوم الكاريكاترية إلى هذا المستوى
كم هى رائعة بما تحتوى من تفاصيل مذهلة تشعرك وكأنك داخل المشهد
بالإضافة أنه يروق لى أسلوب الحوار بين الأشخاص بشدة
قصة ذلك العمل تدور حول انتشار أحد الأوبئة التى جعلت البشر أشبه بالزومبى من آكلى لحوم البشر ويستعرض محاولات بعض الناجين البقاء على ظهر الأرض فى ظل عدم وجود أدنى أمل فى استمرار الحياة بقيادة الشرطى ريك
بالاستمرار فى القراءة أشعر بروعة متابعة الأحداث ، فالقصة مشوقة حقا
لا عجب حين تكون الصورة الأصل مبهرة هكذا ، فتكون النسخة -العمل التليفزيونى- أكثر من رائع

Great! If you are enjoying these particular comics with the governor, I recommend reading the books, "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.

Sad and touching, you get attached to the characters and they just die...but these comics are so good!

Tyreese era uno de mis personajes favoritos, su muerte fue demasiado... Demasiado wow. Pero que puedo esperar del gobernador.

This was an excellent issue. We see a standoff between the Governor and the group, and some nice humanity from Rick.

The way Herschel dies in the show is actually Tyrese's fate in the comics

Excellent, as always. Just as good,...actually a little better the second time around, the color adds another layer of awesomeness to the story. Love it!
