Oct 24, 2007Now that I'm done rubbing it in, I can actually talk about the issue. With the possible exception of Brian K. Vaughan, Kirkman has developed an unparalleled ability to use the various unique advantages of serialized storytelling - most notably the cliffhanger - as a means to toy with his reader's expectations. After ending last issue with a reveal that seemed to promise the onset of the massive conflict we've been awaiting to see for months now, Kirkman pulls the rug out from under us this month and gives us an entire issue detailing how this series' most vile and repugnant villain lived to torment Rick and the gang another day. Even though he's on the cover of this issue, I'll hold off on mentioning his name as an apologetic gesture to you trade-waiters, but suffice it to say, Kirkman manages to make this character even more wonderfully demented than before. With the way this series is headed, it's a damn good time to be a monthly Walking Dead reader. Read Full Review

After enduring several issues wondering whatever happened to that Governor bloke, the curtain to that mystery is finally pulled all the way back in this jarringly dark installment. "There is evil in this world-and not all of it is in the form of those undead monsters clawing at our fences." The Governor's words ring undeniably true, but little do the deceived citizens of Woodbury realize that the evil his words are describing apply to himself. He is the monster in their midst. He is the evil one. He is the walking dead. We have seen our other protagonist Rick Grimes make some morally questionable decisions (though it turns out he did not make the wrong call on Martinez after all) on his journey from the coma to the prison, but near more
