And who is the mysterious prisoner who begs Negan the bottom of his dungeon? Very soon these characters informaTION inequality with the reader brings an unsuspected tension. Here finally that does not immediately fall in love with our hero.

WD is a series focused on trust and showing the catastrophic consequences that can have its excess or deficit.

For the first time in episode 100, the tension is there again and this is a wonderful feeling!

On the other hand, for the first time in the series, Kirkman jumps in time! A simple and effective idea. About 3 years have passed since the end of the conflict against Negan. Sophia and Carl are teenagers with outbreaks of hormones, Maggie became a mother of a small Herschel and Rick Grimes became a kind of paunchy patriarch lame and bearded! Yes! this hero who has suffered so much access to a respectability that puts the back it has become clear that the series in his image has become more mature and focused only on physical laffrontement. Charlie Adlard sequences shows that our hero who has been crippled, amputated and sniped is no longer able to fight as during his younger years.

Kirkman managed a tour de force: it happens to write 5 episodes around little things: cereal production for the first rolls, the first alcohol, the rebirth of lacier The community is now organized, conducts cleverly repeated beatings to keep the zombies the camp.

Negan in prison is still dangerous and more manipulative than ever. The brief exchange between Rick and is already now him as one of the best written by Kirkman for the series. Finally, it stirs the reader's curiosity about terrifying rumors: some zombies have acquired speech and the ability to use weapons. The trade ends with the confrontation against these new-age zombies and ends on a cliffhanger unbearable. The truth is far below what our sattendaient friends!
