The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living. Trapped in a town surrounded by madmen, Rick must find a way out or die trying. Meanwhile, back at the prison, the rest of the survivors come to grips with the fact Rick may be dead, and a major turning point in the series is reached. Reprint Edition

There's a nice bait and switch moment half way through this volume, and the Governor continues to be a twisted villain, but parts of this set of issues meanders a bit. For the first time in the series, we've been consistently torn between 2 major locations that are far apart, and the story feels it in a way. Up until Woodbury, the reader has stuck with the group of characters nearly consistently. But now our cast is being fractured, and at the beginning it can be jarring a bit. Messes with some pacing. Still a fantastic storyline.
It's kind of sad to see how far this series has fallen. Where it used to rely heavily on atmospheric horror and character empathy, now there is just empty gore for its own sake. This book felt hollow.
