Previously on Image's The Walking Dead:
There were some talking. Some more talking. Some walking. Some more walking. And then some talking. Then some more talking. Then some horse-riding. Then some talking while horse-riding. Then some walking talking and some horse-riding.
The fucking TREES (fuck ents) on LotR did LESS talking and LESS walking throughout the EXTENDED versions of the films than what Rick and a bunch of boring-ass characters did in here.
Fuck. That. Shit.
I still pay as you can see. And I still read because I have a problem. I like being treated like shit as you can clearly see.
YUP!
AND NOW In this issue there's RICK again.. (yay) and guess what? That new Governor is with him just like the last issue.. and yeah, I'll let you guess what they're doing throughout 25 pages that's a waste of paper... YEAP.. You got it you wonderful you. THEY TALK. They WALK. They horse-ride, and then they talk some more.
SPOILER ALERT: Someone talks to someone for as long as this series' been publishing issues.
Peace out!
PS1. Oh of course artwork is amazing but it didn't save this one either.
PS2. If you rate this shit 3+ stars you either love Soap Operas, or someone is actually paying/threatening you to do this. No other explanation.
PS3. Unless you're a zombie. Fuck you then for supporting this piece of shit. You brainless fuck.
Ps4. Me? I said that I HAVE to buy this because of Sienkiewicz's beautiful variant covers. So I kinda have to read them too.
XBOX1. Come to realize, you DO actually have one and only ONE reason to read this without being stupid, doing it because of the same reason I'm doing it. So yeah.. I can accept that. Other than that, go read some My Little Pony, I bet there's more action over there, and much more interesting plot.

An enjoyable issue, not much happens but there is a sense that the story is building up to something.
August 5, 2018
I hope it's building up to something major as it's very boring at the moment. Not alot happening at all.

Well, that one was interesting. No zombie action, but still good. Governor Milton get's a tour of the communities from Rick...and it looks like .
This book has been very tame in the past year or so but I'm enjoying it. I must be the only TWD fan who doesn't like the Princess or Negan though.
Anyway, can't wait for next month!

So I've been saying how not much conflict has been happening for the last couple of arcs. And you get that here, too. But it's interesting looking at the communities through Milton's eyes. It's like dropping a new reader of the series into this arc.

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.

Ooh I want to see what trouble Rick is going to cause now.

The walking dead has become the walking around

A lot like #181 without the action. More sizing each other up. I feel this is building to a conflict though instead of a happily ever after.
September 11, 2018
The Commonwealth arc keeps on delivering. The sense of suspense keeps building. Bring on the next issue!

Love festival. The only conflict right now is political I feel like I’m been watching the news.

Me gusta como ha crecido la comunidad del Santuario y cómo aprenden de sus errores.

As the tour continues Pamela gets to see more of settlements and Carl meets Rick and they talk about stuff, people discuss about stuff and now it's time for a reverse journey.
It's no wonder The Walking Dead is a legendary series, it truly deserves all the praise it can get. I love The Walking Dead and it's style. It's wonderful and I love the journey taken with Rick and the group as they roam the wasteland in search of life and stability.I have always loved comics, and I hope that I will always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics or Diamond Comics or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics I can. I Love comics to bit, may comics never leave my side. I love reading this and more, you should also read what you love and then Keep on Reading.

Rick and Pam visit the Sanctuary with "friendly" saviors, and the rebuilt Hilltop. Maggie is leery of Pamela. They discuss trade and security.Rick and Carl are reunited for a time.

This was a very "chill" issue. Got a recap on the progress in each community. But in true TWD style, it appears the poo is about to hit the fan.
Side note, Rick seems to be moving past Andrea.
