This issue reminded me of Lord of the Flies - a small group that is thrown together must try to work their differences out to insure mutual survival. Tensions are high as the 'zombie front' seems to be closing in on camp. With limited engress/egress points decisions have to be made. There is a shocking death that occurs in this issue - all the more shocking because it is not zombie related.

The events that played out here - the TV series had nothing on this.
That was *excellent*, especially those last few lines of dialogue between Rick and Carl.

Issue #6 of The Walking Dead is the emotional and intense conclusion of the series' first volume. As the survivors grapple with their increasing losses and the challenges of staying alive, the fragile bonds between them begin to fray, leading to the climactic and tragic showdown between Rick and Shane.
The issue opens with a funeral scene for Amy, who was brutally killed during the zombie attack on their camp. This moment of collective mourning serves as a reminder of the fragile nature of life in their apocalyptic world. The survivors, each deeply affected by the loss, take turns sharing their thoughts. Shane, who is already emotionally unstable, reflects on Amy’s ability to bring life and conversation into their group, and Donna, despite past disagreements with Amy, expresses her sadness. Jim’s speech stands out as one of the most poignant. He reflects on the cruel randomness of death in this new world, lamenting that Amy never had the chance to live her life to the fullest, to go to college, or experience the normal milestones of adulthood.
Meanwhile, Jim's own health is rapidly deteriorating after being bitten by a zombie during the camp attack. He starts to slip in and out of consciousness, reflecting on his own fate and the people he lost, like his boss, who was one of the first to turn. There's a haunting sense of inevitability surrounding his condition. He understands his fate but clings to a faint hope that he might avoid it, especially after hearing others speak of people who turned more slowly. However, as his condition worsens, Jim makes the painful decision to be left behind, hoping to find peace with his family in death. This scene is heart-wrenching, especially as the group hesitates but ultimately honors his wish, leaving him under a tree in Atlanta. Jim's last words leave an indelible mark, a reminder of the individual humanity behind each tragic loss.
Amid the tension and grief, the focus shifts to the intensifying conflict between Rick and Shane. Their differences, which have been simmering since Rick rejoined the group, come to a head in this issue. The argument begins during a hunting trip when Rick suggests that the group should have left the camp sooner, perhaps avoiding some of the tragedy. Shane, already mentally unraveling, angrily defends his belief that the army will come to rescue them. It’s clear that Shane is clinging to old-world hopes, unwilling to accept the brutal reality of their situation. Rick’s rationality only serves to inflame Shane’s already fragile mental state, and he lashes out, leading to a tense standoff.
Shane's emotional instability is further exacerbated by his feelings toward Rick and Lori. In a rage, Shane accuses Rick of ruining everything by coming back, believing that his life was perfect before Rick's return. It's clear that Shane’s feelings for Lori and his misplaced hope for a future with her have driven him to a breaking point. This intense emotional conflict escalates when Shane, unable to cope with his jealousy, frustration, and guilt, points a gun at Rick.
This moment is pivotal not only for Rick and Shane but for Rick’s son, Carl. As Rick tries to reason with Shane, Carl arrives just in time to witness the horrifying scene. Without hesitation, Carl shoots Shane in the neck, killing him. This marks a monumental moment in the story, as Carl, still a child, is forced to make an impossible decision in the name of survival. Shane’s death is brutal and final, choking on his own blood as his vision of life unravels before him. Carl’s words after the shooting—“It’s not the same as killing the dead ones, Daddy”—echo the tragic reality that, in this new world, the lines between living and dead are blurred, and the emotional toll of taking a life, even in self-defense, weighs heavily on him. Rick’s comforting response, “It never should be, son. It should never be,” encapsulates the sorrow and complexity of their new reality.
The weight of this issue, particularly the climactic confrontation between Rick and Shane, resonated deeply with me. Shane's descent into madness was heartbreaking to witness. I couldn’t help but feel sympathy for him, despite his actions. His inability to reconcile his feelings for Lori, his misguided hope for rescue, and the breakdown of his relationship with Rick all come together in a tragic collapse. It’s a stark reminder that in extreme situations, people are pushed to their limits, sometimes with devastating consequences.
Jim’s decision to be left behind was also particularly emotional. His slow, inevitable march toward death served as a poignant reminder of the harsh reality the survivors face daily. His hope of reuniting with his family in the afterlife adds a layer of somber beauty to his departure, showing that even in death, these characters cling to their humanity.
What stands out most in this issue is the emotional gravity of Carl’s actions. Seeing Carl shoot Shane is a pivotal moment not only for the plot but for his character's development. The weight of that decision is felt in every word and every tear. Rick's attempt to comfort his son, to shield him from the emotional aftermath, is both powerful and tragic. As a father, Rick now has to grapple with the fact that his young child was forced to kill, a burden that no parent should ever have to witness or deal with. This scene underscores the loss of innocence that comes with survival in this bleak, new world. Carl is forced to grow up too fast, a theme that will no doubt continue to play out as the series progresses.
Shane’s demise also serves as a turning point for the group. His presence represented the last vestige of their old lives, a clinging to the hope that things would return to normal. With his death, the group is forced to fully confront the reality of their situation—that the world they knew is gone, and they must adapt to survive.
Overall, Issue #6 brings a powerful and fitting conclusion to the first volume of The Walking Dead. It’s a turning point for many characters, particularly Rick and Carl, and sets the stage for the increasingly grim and complex world they will face moving forward. The emotional weight, character development, and themes of loss, survival, and morality make this issue one of the most impactful in the series. It’s not just about the zombies—it’s about the people, their struggles, and how they try to hold on to their humanity in the face of overwhelming odds.

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.

I could definitely feel the shift in tone of TWD from this issue and Tony Moore goes out on a high here as his last issue is a stunning one beginning to end. The new Deluxe edition colourist, McCaig, has seem to found his feet here also; it feels the most natural thus far. Looking forward to Adlard on art next issue and really enjoying re-reading this 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.

Very proud to Carl, I hope my son to be like him
February 26, 2015
The camp buries Amy, all of them say their good byes. Jim's bite is getting worse and he asks to be left by the city so when he turns he can be with his dead family. Rick, Carl and Shane go hunting and Shane goes on the defensive about them keeping the camp right outside the city and if it was the cause of Jim's bite and Amy's death. Rick blames Shane for the deaths because he won't agree to move away from the city.
The next day Shane and Rick get into a fight about moving the camp and Lori stands up for Rick, Shane hurt because of this, heads off into the woods as Rick follows him. Shane ends up threatening Rick with his gun and saying everything was okay before he came back. Shane is about to kill Rick when Carl shoots Shane killing him. Carl tells his dad it is not the same as killing the dead ones and Rick tells his soon it never should be.
Tension between Shane and Rick is at its peak! With Amy dead and Jim asking to be left near Atlanta so that he can "join" his family the argument of moving the camp is like a slap in Shane's face. Things heat up quickly, from Carl asking to go hunting with the pair to Rick telling Carl no because he needs to talk to Shane. POW! Literally, POW! Shane punches Rick in the face for telling him they need to talk about the issue of the camp. Rick doesn't say that specifically but when Shane asks what they need to talk about and Rick yells, "What the hell do you think?" Its pretty obvious that's the subject up for discussion.
Man Shane just can't win either. First Rick gets shot and is in a coma, then Shane takes care of Lori and Carl because, hey, lets face it, Lori can't really take care of herself or Carl very well with the walkers. Then POW! Rick's back and Lori tells Shane to back off. I mean seriously what did Shane think Lori was going to do. Tell Rick, hey sorry HUSBAND, I know you got shot in the line of duty and you've missed a bunch of time and in that time the worlds gone to shit, oh and did I mention that the dead are walking and we call them walkers, zombies... but hey, you remember Shane right, well, I'm with him now! OH COME ON! The thing that really gets me about this is ... well I was going to say scene, but really the whole page (16) is that it takes Shane punching Rick in the face and Lori standing up for Rick to make Shane finally step over that lunatic "I've lost everything, I've lost HER" phase. And losing Lori was so like three comics ago. And que running off, que crying and ... wait for it.... wait for it.... que Lori's face growing long again. (LOL) Anyways, Carl ends up shooting Shane, but before that man Tony Moore really put his all into making Shane's face be furious as hell at the same time its all snot and tear filled. That face just makes me want to lean back from the page with a jikes! And the job Cliff Rathburn has done on this issue with the gray tones is wonderful. There are a few places were its messed up, like on that page (21) where Shane is all furious snot face, the top frame and middle frame of the page show Shane's police hat to read POLICE in white, but then the last frame shows it in black to match the hat. Not a major issue, but still little mistakes do make it in, even in an excellent huge fan-based comic like The Walking Dead. But the shading on Shane's face as well really gives the final touch to that frame. Not only do you see the fury in Shane's eyes but you can tell its a dark emotion because there is a clear shadow falling from his cap over that area of the face. Robert Kirkman did an excellent job with following this frame with his lettering. I don't know how a simple thing as changing the size of the lettering just a bit makes you go from calmly talking to knowing that the person is YELLING! And the whole shooting scene of Shane. It's like a cross between a really good last minute didn't see it coming save and the overly drawn out awkward death scenes. The noises Kirkman makes Shane make and the slow tumble to the ground still really makes you feel for the guy. Also, just because I thought it the first time I saw it, I know that Carl basically shot Shane through the jugular vein and that's why there is so much blood pouring out so fast, but right when Shane goes thap onto his knees.... Doesn't that look like he peed himself? I know you see the blood already all over him on the far right frame of that page (23) but still!
As for the differences, well, in the series Jim goes a bit nutty right before the walker attack that kills Amy and the others and digs graves. So of course that didn't happen in the comic because for one Jim didn't originally go nutty and two it wasn't hot in Atlanta in the comic the way they made it in the series. Which was another way in the series to say that Jim had heat stroke and that's why he went nutty. Anyways, in the series they bury their dead and burn the walkers. You don't see the burning in the comic, I can assume that's because of the limited about of supplies, namely wood they have and they would rather use it to stay warm than to get rid of the walkers. The other major difference of course is the shooting of Shane. Carl does shoot Shane in the series, but only after he sees Shane as a walker. In the series walker Shane is about to attack Rick so Carl shoots him in the head. The location where Shane is shot is different as well. I'm not just talking about the factor that Carl shots Shane in the neck in the comic and in the forehead in the series, but the factor they are pretty far away from Atlanta and have already went from what they thought would have been complete safety to find out new horrors about whats going on and stumbled back out into the chaos that is the walker infestation.
I recommend for the fandoms of The Walking Dead Universe, zombies, apocalypse and dystopian genres.

The next day Shane and Rick get into a fight about moving the camp and Lori stands up for Rick, Shane hurt because of this, heads off into the woods as Rick follows him. Shane ends up threatening Rick with his gun and saying everything was okay before he came back. Shane is about to kill Rick when Carl shoots Shane killing him. Carl tells his dad it is not the same as killing the dead ones and Rick tells his soon it never should be.
Tension between Shane and Rick is at its peak! With Amy dead and Jim asking to be left near Atlanta so that he can "join" his family the argument of moving the camp is like a slap in Shane's face. Things heat up quickly, from Carl asking to go hunting with the pair to Rick telling Carl no because he needs to talk to Shane. POW! Literally, POW! Shane punches Rick in the face for telling him they need to talk about the issue of the camp. Rick doesn't say that specifically but when Shane asks what they need to talk about and Rick yells, "What the hell do you think?" Its pretty obvious that's the subject up for discussion.
Man Shane just can't win either. First Rick gets shot and is in a coma, then Shane takes care of Lori and Carl because, hey, lets face it, Lori can't really take care of herself or Carl very well with the walkers. Then POW! Rick's back and Lori tells Shane to back off. I mean seriously what did Shane think Lori was going to do. Tell Rick, hey sorry HUSBAND, I know you got shot in the line of duty and you've missed a bunch of time and in that time the worlds gone to shit, oh and did I mention that the dead are walking and we call them walkers, zombies... but hey, you remember Shane right, well, I'm with him now! OH COME ON! The thing that really gets me about this is ... well I was going to say scene, but really the whole page (16) is that it takes Shane punching Rick in the face and Lori standing up for Rick to make Shane finally step over that lunatic "I've lost everything, I've lost HER" phase. And losing Lori was so like three comics ago. And que running off, que crying and ... wait for it.... wait for it.... que Lori's face growing long again. (LOL) Anyways, Carl ends up shooting Shane, but before that man Tony Moore really put his all into making Shane's face be furious as hell at the same time its all snot and tear filled. That face just makes me want to lean back from the page with a jikes! And the job Cliff Rathburn has done on this issue with the gray tones is wonderful. There are a few places were its messed up, like on that page (21) where Shane is all furious snot face, the top frame and middle frame of the page show Shane's police hat to read POLICE in white, but then the last frame shows it in black to match the hat. Not a major issue, but still little mistakes do make it in, even in an excellent huge fan-based comic like The Walking Dead. But the shading on Shane's face as well really gives the final touch to that frame. Not only do you see the fury in Shane's eyes but you can tell its a dark emotion because there is a clear shadow falling from his cap over that area of the face. Robert Kirkman did an excellent job with following this frame with his lettering. I don't know how a simple thing as changing the size of the lettering just a bit makes you go from calmly talking to knowing that the person is YELLING! And the whole shooting scene of Shane. It's like a cross between a really good last minute didn't see it coming save and the overly drawn out awkward death scenes. The noises Kirkman makes Shane make and the slow tumble to the ground still really makes you feel for the guy. Also, just because I thought it the first time I saw it, I know that Carl basically shot Shane through the jugular vein and that's why there is so much blood pouring out so fast, but right when Shane goes thap onto his knees.... Doesn't that look like he peed himself? I know you see the blood already all over him on the far right frame of that page (23) but still!

Kehadiran Rick semakin membuat Shane cemburu. Apalagi, ditambah salah satu pengungsi tiba-tiba digigit oleh zombie karena Shane menolak saran Rick agar mereka pindah ke tempat pengungsian yang lebih aman; membuatnya semakin kesal. Kemudian, saat Rick dan Shane pergi berburu, mereka berdebat tentang rencana selanjutnya. Tanpa disangka, Shane mengarahkan senjatanya ke Rick. Namun, sebelum itu, Carl dengan cepat menembak Shane.

Review for all Volume 1 (Issues 1-6)
I was really surprised by the differences with the show, like no Darryl and oh my god, Shane !! I can't wait to see where they're going to go with Carl's character after this!
I found certain storylines under developed but it’s only the first volume, so that explains the 4 stars :)

Another good issue; Rick & Shane finally have it out. Not going to lie, I prefer TV Shane to Comic Shane. There wasn't much to him in the comic, didn't really get to know him well enough to get his emotions, but a part from that I like how this played out.
I'll be interested to see where this goes now that Shane is gone, it'll obviously start to splinter off from what the TV show had done.

This is a sad part of this series. Familiar with most of it because of the tv series, however, it has been played out differently. I want to say I didn't expect it, but even without the tv series I think I may have been able to figure out where this was going, but on a parallel path from what I expected.

Great narrative ending, I am very excited to jump to the new arc and see how Kirkman takes this story into something bigger. I'm also very nervous with Tony Moore leaving the comic, as a final issue he did an amazing job here. I also want to point out the vibrant yellow and gray colors that Dave McCaig uses all over the issue, setting up an emotional atmosphere.

Ok, WOW eso fue intenso, aunque termino todo muy rápidamente. Debo decirlo pero mil veces prefiero lo que ocurrió en la serie con este personaje, le da más cabida a la construcción del propio Rick Grimes. No fue mi favorito a decir verdad.

SOCORRO!!!!
"Não posso viver assim,Rick! Pensei que podia,mas não posso!"
Já imaginava que isso poderia acontecer com o Shane,só não achei que fosse ser tão rápido.
Carl um mini divo.
Mas o que ele falou...
Esse menino sabe de alguma coisa que ninguém mais sabe.

The sequence of events feel wacky after watching the show, but the tension between Shane and Rick is more powerful here, and the killing of Shane at the hands of Carl is more shocking because of how young he is in the comic book.
