My two favorite characters were shot! I know they'd be fine anyways. And the governor and his imbecile dogs ran like hens on fire. Cowards!!
October 26, 2024
After the events of the last issue, seeing the Governor not only survive but rally Woodbury’s forces to launch an all-out assault on the prison, it’s hard not to feel both anxious and excited for what awaits Rick’s group. This issue ramps up the tension as Woodbury’s army, driven by lies and vengeance, brings the battle directly to the prison gates. With both sides on edge, we know that the survival of each character is uncertain, and each page brings fresh danger.
The Governor stands at the head of Woodbury’s soldiers, prepared to storm the prison with a fury born of pain and a twisted sense of justice. He commands his troops to start shooting, first at the zombies and then at Rick’s group. Inside, Rick’s people scramble to prepare, dodging bullets and organizing to defend their home.
Rick, prioritizing the safety of his family, instructs Lori to gather food, supplies, and the children, and to hide in a downstairs bathroom where they’ll have access to water. Rick’s plan to safeguard his loved ones shows his desperation to protect them, no matter the cost, highlighting his role as both leader and father. He knows that the Governor is after him personally, which makes him all the more determined to avoid capture.
Meanwhile, the Governor picks up a megaphone, offering the prison survivors a final chance to surrender. He demands they disarm themselves and allow his men to “clear out” the zombies, promising peace if they comply. But we know that there’s no way he’ll keep his word. When he doesn’t hear a response, his temper flares, and he screams for his men to resume firing. This is the Governor’s true nature—calculating and ruthless, willing to kill anyone in his way.
Andrea, showing her unbreakable resolve, heads to a guard tower with her rifle. Even though Dale tries to hold her back, she’s determined to protect the group, picking off Woodbury soldiers with steady aim. Her bravery is put to the test when the Governor spots her and orders his men to target her. A bullet catches her in the head, and for a moment, it seems like she’s done for. But Andrea is as tough as they come; she manages to survive the blow thanks to her riot helmet. Her near-death experience adds a heavy layer of suspense—each moment she spends in the tower is one more chance for something to go horribly wrong.
Inside the prison, panic spreads. Michonne, ever the fighter, proposes that she go out to face the Governor’s forces head-on. She argues that striking back now would catch them off-guard, but Rick and Tyreese disagree, reasoning that it’s essentially a suicide mission. Despite Michonne’s warrior instincts, they manage to talk her down, prioritizing a strategy that keeps the group’s strongest fighters alive.
As the shooting continues, Gabe, one of the Governor’s loyalists, warns that they’re low on bullets and suggests they drive over the fences with the tank. The Governor dismisses this idea, frustrated that his initial plan isn’t going as smoothly as he’d hoped. Meanwhile, Axel—a lesser-known but valuable ally—takes a bullet to the arm, underscoring the brutal reality that no one is truly safe.
Just when it seems like things couldn’t get worse, Glenn (who has taken up a position in the tower, despite feeling unprepared) looks out at the chaos. He’s weighed down by a sense of dread, knowing they’re outnumbered and hoping his aim is good enough to hold the line. Michonne, always ready for action, knocks Tyreese over to save him and then takes his gun, using it to target the Governor’s soldiers. Axel, nursing his gunshot wound, remarks on the searing pain, a raw reminder of the physical toll this conflict exacts on everyone involved.
The Governor finally orders a retreat, realizing he can’t overpower them immediately. He takes out his frustration on Gabe, punching him and blaming him for their setback. As they pull back, Rick and the others let out a small breath of relief, but Tyreese is quick to point out that this is far from over. He knows they’ll return with the tank, and the prison’s defenses will be tested again. For a brief moment, Axel celebrates what he sees as a victory, but Tyreese and Michonne both understand the grim reality—they’re merely in the eye of the storm.
Just as the survivors try to regroup, Andrea collapses from her injury, with Dale rushing to support her. Despite her insistence that she’s fine, it’s clear the wound has taken a toll, and she’s in need of serious medical attention. But before anyone can tend to her, another shock hits the group: Rick steps outside, visibly weakened, and suddenly collapses from a gunshot wound. Tyreese’s panicked shout cuts through the chaos as everyone realizes their leader is down.
This issue captures the brutal reality of the fight for survival in the most intense way. The Governor’s relentless drive to destroy Rick’s group, fueled by his warped view of justice, puts everyone at risk. The Woodbury residents are manipulated into believing Rick’s group is their enemy, showing just how twisted the Governor has become.
Andrea’s resilience in the face of near-fatal injury stands out as a testament to her strength. Even though she’s wounded, her commitment to defending the group shines through, and her tenacity inspires hope amid the violence. Michonne, too, is a force of nature. Her willingness to take the fight directly to Woodbury’s soldiers speaks volumes about her fierce loyalty and courage. Though Rick and Tyreese manage to convince her to stay back, her bold idea to take them by surprise feels like the most strategic move they could make. Perhaps they should consider it once they’re more prepared.
The Governor’s manipulation of his people—painting Rick’s group as savages to justify his aggression—is chilling. It’s easy to hate him even more for twisting the truth, knowing he’s the one who initiated this entire conflict. And the unsettling moment where he lashes out at Gabe shows just how far his mind has deteriorated; he’s a man on the edge, taking his pain and humiliation out on anyone who crosses him.
I’m left on the edge of my seat, eager to see how Rick’s group will recover from this and what their next move will be. The Governor’s forces may have pulled back for now, but the threat isn’t over.

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 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.

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.

Great action issue
March 23, 2019
It's all leading up to this?
This was nothing, if I'm honest. Woodbury fired off a few rounds, the prison lot fired back. Andrea had a near miss to her brain, Glenn blindly fired into the general direction of the Woodbury crowd. Andrea got a few kills even with her injury so Woodbury retreated.
It ended with Rick collapsing from what looks like a shot to the stomach but let's be honest, it's a redundant cliffhanger because we know he's going to be fine and we KNOW Woodbury are coming back with revenge.

This issue deals with the 1st battle at the prison. Lots of action and no real character development. The survivors are caught off guard just like the Governor suspected. Not sure why he wasn't happy enough with this own community.

¡Huir mamones cobardes de mierda!
Joder, dos de mis personajes favoritos heridos. En este tomo Andrea se ha ganado mi completo respeto y admiración. Muy bien hecho si señor.

Everything is changing--starting now!
It's all been leading up to this, folks!
Nobody is safe. Nothing will ever be the same.
The biggest, most explosive story-arc in the history of this series starts right here, in this issue.
Previously. The people of Woodbury have organized and attacked. The battle is about to begin.
The Best.
No more waiting around getting prepared, the battle is here and in full swing. They either fight or they die.
The red issues with full portraits on the covers are finally here! The artwork on the cover is amazingly detailed and just goes to show whats in store for the group in the prison.
The Worst.
Andrea - she goes up in the tower and starts shooting away but then of all things, she takes her helmet off....and then gets shot. I was happy in the end when she came too and it was just a graze, but she is still injured.
Axel - for as big and "bad" as he looks, its nothing to the amount of pure whining he can accomplish. Of course, he gets shot in the arm and then falls down completely useless.
Rick - gets shot in what appears to be his mid-section, because he simply falls over from holding the door frame clutching his stomach once the people of Woodbury are turning and running away.
The Governor punching Gabe in the face. I know I put this on the worst, because at this point the Governor realizes that there is nothing they can do but fall back, and as much as that is a welcome sight for our prison group, it just means that they will once again have to face the people of Woodbury. The Governor doesn't seem the type to me to give up on something for to long.
The Differences.
Andrea never gets shot. Even though she does become a good shooter, she isn't the groups crack shot the way she is here in the comics.
Axel does get shot in the prison but it's something more major than a bullet to the arm. Also I probably should have mentioned it before now, but Axel isn't really a "big" guy in the show. He is more of a skinny prisoner with a handle-bar mustache trying to hit on anything with legs!
Rick doesn't really get shot in the stomach, but does get injured....
The Governor's group from Woodbury does retreat, even though the group dynamic isn't the same from this one. The Governor has Martinez and a few other of his goons with him to help give orders with regards to retreating. Bruce at this point seems to be no help. What he is advising does make sense from our point of view, but through the Governor's eyes, it's nothing but failure.
Those Remembered.
Walkers, many walkers that were acting as a barrier between the people of Woodbury and the prison were killed by the people of Woodbury in an attempt to clear a path towards the prison.
People of Woodbury, many people of Woodbury lost their lives by the bullets of those in the prison.
Recommend. To the fans of The Walking Dead Universe, Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, Cliff Rathburn, Rus Wooton, zombies, horror dramas, apocalypse stories, battles, action, and the Governor.

Instead of telling people to get down and let the Governor and his people keep shooting at you, Rick should've told his group to do their damned best to get back inside the prison.
I mean, I'm not too sure Andrea's gonna make it to the guard tower in time to take out any, much less all of the Governor's men. She better haul ass if that's where she's going.
Lori needs to get over herself and just do what Rick tells her to. It's not like he's trying to get away from her. He's trying to protect her and the rest of the group, for crying out loud.
The Governor pretending to be a good guy makes me want to barf. Everyone knows he's a dangerous asshole and that he should be avoided at ALL costs. If anyone from Rick's group listens to the Governor, they're stupid.
Haha! Go Andrea! Glad you shot the Governor. Too bad you missed his head, and too bad he's wearing a damn vest. I'd have loved for him to be taken out right then and there.
Okay, now Rick and some of his group are just lying on the ground waiting for the Governor and his people to attack again, which is stupid. I'd try and make a run for it and try to get inside the prison.
It's about fucking time you realized that, Rick. Where was this genius plan to go inside 5 minutes ago when the Governor and his people WEREN'T shooting? Get your asses inside, now!
Sorry, but Michonne taking Tyreese's gun to shoot at the Governor and his people had me laughing.
T: "My gun!"
M: "Like you can use it worth a damn."
I'm so glad that the Governor and his people are retreating, but I know it's not a surrender. Psycho men like the Governor don't give up. Not until they're dead, which is still awhile away, I'm sure.
Oh damn, look like Rick's group is in deep shit. First Andrea was shot, and now Rick's been shot, too. I hope that neither of them has so much damage that they die.

So, in this issue, we get our climax. And what a climax it was! It was action packed and suspenseful. I certainly appreciated seeing women who weren't afraid to get into the mix and fight. Yep, this was a great issue!

Oh dios, realmente cada comic que sale el gobernado es sinónimo del aumento de mi odio hacia el.
