I do not know or remember or care enough to search, when was the last time I rated Walking Dead this high, and I shouldn't. I know I shouldn't. But I REALLY liked this issue. I hate that I did because it's been so long that I'm disappointed by this series again and again issue after issue.
It was sad and it made me angry and since the last issue at the end I literally said FUCK OFF KIRKMAN out loud when I finished it, at this issue.. no.. fuck that shit. I still say fuck off Kirkman... but he made me feel sad and that's a pretty good job.
Walking Dead was one of my top 5 comic titles since 2004 where I started reading the series and subscribed and kept buying without ever stopping the series, I'd stop even buying/reading my main Marvel/DC titles even my Image titles, but never Walking Dead. I'd never drop and re-sub or anything like that. It was one of my mains, even when without a job or money, it'd be the one issue I'd get for sure.
For the last 20(?) issues? I don't even know, Walking Dead was boring as hell to me, new characters that mean nothing to me, new "diverse" bullshit that it's the trend lately, new shitty dialogues and chars I dislike right away, either because I find them boring as fuck or one-dimensional or what the fuck is this fake as fuck character that's a Gwen-Pool knock-of in the world of walking dead doing? (example: Princess) and anyway, I tend to get super disrespectful and to "care" much about the series to be angry and disappointed by everything Kirkman writes lately.
This should make me angry too. And it does. But not in the negative way that I should be angry at him. Unfortunately in the way that I give him props for making me feel like that.
I was about to quit Walking Dead a couple of issues ago, and the long time love of mine for this series kept me a bit longer and I was like one more and I'm done, one more and I'm done, and kept reading. I stopped my sub and stopped getting print, so I was buying digital, kept reading still, but not on release day, and was waiting for price drop on digital. So I was on my last days for Walking Dead.
BUT.
This happened, and now I don't know really what's going to happen but I'm going to keep reading until I guess I slowly get bored again.
This issue was sad.
And also, this issue at the end of the letters page, last thing Kirkman wrote, well... that made me happy!

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.

This week in comics will feature The Walking Dead #192 by Robert Kirkman. If you have not picked up this book and don't have the internet then stop reading now. Consider yourself warned!
Okay for the rest of us here is my thoughts on this issue of The Walking Dead. Robert Kirkman took a major artist stand in this book by showing that the comic book that inspired the television phenomenon is not tied to the TV show, nor does it take its lead from it. Instead, the main creation, the original focus is still the comic.
In the blockbuster Marvel Cinematic Universe we have seen the films take liberties with not only the characters but the story lines that inspired them. Then, unfortunately, we have begun to see the comics follow suit. DC has done the same as well as some independent comics as well. Here, Kirkland lets you know who pulls the strings.
In TWD #192, Kirkman does what few comic book writers would have the balls, live or dead, to do.
He kills his main character. Rick Grimes.
Twice.
The initial murder of Rick Grimes is for lack of a better explanation, a political assassination. Rick is shot and left for dead by Sebastian Milton. The son of Pamela Milton who is the Governor of the Commonwealth. A community of survivors that is doing far better than most. Sebastian is entitled and spoiled, his attitude and behavior excused by his mother and protected by her status. When Rick shows up and decides that the people of the Commonwealth deserve to hold democratic elections and choose their own leaders, Sebastian sees this as a threat and believing his mother's power will protect him, shoots Rick in his bed and leaves him to die.
The second, and undoubtedly, more tragic killing of Rick Grimes comes later that day. His son Carl comes to wake Rick to go for breakfast and encounters a walking dead. Rick had turned and Carl must put him down.
Sebastian is caught and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Rick Grimes. His mother pleads to Carl that revenge will not be taken. Carl concedes but visits Sebastian in prison and says he is going to come and watch him suffer for the rest of his life and if Sebastian ever thinks of getting out, Carl will hunt him down and hurt him.
What follows if the burial of Rick Grimes as the whole of the Commonwealth come out to pay respect and the groundwork is laid for what looks to be an upheaval in this once peaceful settlement.
A hell of a good comic.

A great issue that deals with the aftermath of last month’s shocking events
June 8, 2019
I don’t know what death has been more shocking this year, the one that just happened, or the ratings of this past season of The Walking Dead?
August 3, 2019
Well. They finally did it. They finally killed Rick Grimes. Who would have thought anyone would love to see this day. Kirkman has teased about how the story would eventually lead to Rick's untimely end?
It's been a long time since I've been kept interested reading TWD comics and it seems to catch my interest one final time.

Shock and disbelief.
June 8, 2019
Well, we all knew it was probably gonna happen at some point, but knowing it was probably gonna happen didn't make it any easier. I love this series & it's my opinion that it's just as good now as it's ever been I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here with great enthusiasm!
July 21, 2019
All I've got to say is....HOLY SHIT, I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!
June 15, 2019
Ok now we are getting somewhere
Ok having been an avid fan from the start I always had a connection with Rick Grimes, I mean you talk of walking dead you talk of Rick Grimes. However I always believe that the time is really that for him to go onto pastures new. What will the world do now, will it grumble and will it rise and strengthen. Time will tell. RIP Mr Grimes, I salute you. Salute with the left hand though out of respect for your lost limb.

Wow, I mean I can't say I didn't see that coming. There has been a strong push towards Carl and an increase in his importance in the community but that was hard to read. Tear jerker of an episode for sure. Lovely to see all the people whos lives Rick has touched and can't wait to see which direction the series is taken in. RIP Rick, you will be missed.

I'm so mad at Sebastian. But I like how Carl handles it. It's understandable how he acts. He's grown, but he's still human. This issue really had me tearing up a bit. And I can't really remember another time that a different comic has done that to me.
June 5, 2019
Heartbreaker
One of the most emotional issues in a long time RIP **** ******
Now the long wait for the next issue begins again.......
