*** I'm sorry this review is late. As you could tell, I had a lot of posts to complete and I didn't want to fall behind on those even more. So again, I apologize.***
This review will contain spoilers, so if you haven't read the issue yet, I wouldn't advise reading any further.
Another month, another issue of The Walking Dead. Even though there weren't any deaths, this issue was awesome! We're finally starting to see the start of the war beginning. When Rick had Negan at gunpoint, I thought it was over. But it couldn't have been that easy.
The issue starts off right after the death of Spencer and Rick arriving back the Safe Zone with the rest of the Survivors. He found out what happened to Spencer and got pissed off, yelling, "I thought we had an agreement?!" Then we had some tense dialogue between Rick and Negan, but Negan does explain that Spencer came to him and said that he wanted Rick dead.
Rick gives Negan half of his stuff and with everyone now back in Alexandria and Negan there with a small group, Rick scrambled back to his house and got Andrea to go up into the tower with her sniper. Andrea then killed a few Saviors and Negan actually looked a little nervous. Then Rick said to him, "You ever hear the one about a guy who brought a baseball bat to a gun fight, f--ker?" We then see Rick yelling and shooting his gun, and I thought, "Rick is actually going to do this." But to no avail.
We found out that Negan had about twenty armed men with guns stationed around the area, which shocked me because I thought he didn't have many guns. Then he explained that guns should only be used on the living and the thinkers because they're much more dangerous, which I do agree with. Then out come the Saviors and Negan then tells Rick that they're, "f--king f--ked."
That was a really exciting cliffhanger to end the issue. The war is about to start, so I think we all knew that Rick wasn't going to kill Negan just like that and same goes for Negan killing Rick. It also made a lot of sense for Rick to try and take Negan down at that moment in time. He just didn't know that Negan had about 20 armed men in the area.
So that's about it for this month's issue. Tell me what you guys think about Issue 112. What will happen next? Is Negan the best villain in the history of The Walking Dead? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

Comic Series - Volume 20: All Out War
For any of you that have been following The Walking Dead comic book series over the past year, you're probably almost as or maybe even more excited then I am about the recent announcement of the "All Out War" 12 issue story arc.
We already knew this was going to happen anyway. But I have some cool "team" pictures showing the four different groups involved in the war. I also found out by looking through the pictures that they're officially naming Rick's group "The Survivors." There's also a new cover for the story arc, but the best thing about the new volume is that new issues are going to be released biweekly starting in October.
I'm excited because now we get twice The Walking Dead with the TV show also returning in October. So without further ado, let's take a look at the first of five pictures I'm going to analyze.
So this is the cover for the new story arc. I love the symbolism with the size of Negan's head because it shows how powerful he is and how the Survivors, Hilltop and Kingdom are getting ready to fight against these odds. You have Michonne on the right with her sword, Rick in the center with his axe and Andrea on left with her sniper in hand. Just as a side note, every time I see Andrea in the comic book series, I always think back to the TV series and how different it is from the comic book series. Finally, we have Carl at the bottom, who's looking a lot like a teenager and getting close to being 16 or 17 (I'm just guessing, I don't really know). Very cool cover!
So here's the first of four team posters that I'm going to go over. We now have the first official label for Rick's group, the Survivors. I like the name because of what they've been through, particularly Rick, Carl, Andrea and Michonne. The logo also resembles Carl a lot (except for the skull) because you have the eye patch and the cowboy hat. Very cool logo and poster!
Next is the poster for Negan's group, the Saviors. I love the addition of the baseball bat and I think a vulture is a perfect animal to represent Negan. Vultures prey on the weak, which is what Negan does with his threats of violence.
Next we have the Hilltop poster, which has great symbolism with the iron and the hammer. I'm pretty sure it refers back to the blacksmith that's located in the colony and how the people use spears when they're on watch duty. So I think this represents them pretty well.
Last, but certainly not least, we have the poster for the Kingdom. I do like the sword and tiger, but my favorite thing about the logo is how the whole thing is on one of those old school flags. Very cool logos for all four groups!
I think this is some of the most exciting events we've ever seen in the comic book series. This upcoming war is nothing like the prison group against the Governor. There are different circumstances, more groups involved and stronger leaders such as Negan. The whole thing is way more complicated with a lot more groups and characters coming together.
I'm predicting that there will be a lot of characters deaths throughout the course of this war. I could even see characters like Andrea, Michonne or even Eugene dying or somebody really important to the Survivors.

Comic Series - Top 5 Favorite Characters
A couple weeks ago, I did a post and listed my top 5 favorite characters from The Walking Dead television series. So I thought, why not do the comic book series as well? I don't know if I'll do one on the worst comic book characters, but we'll see. So let's get started!
5. Andrea
I absolutely love in Andrea in the comic book series. She's great with the sniper, takes guys down left and right and holds off people from attacking the group. I loved when she brought a group back to the prison to help Rick's group against The Governor and survived the attack against Tomas, which is where she got the scar on her face. You don't get to see a strong female character very often, so I think Andrea has to be in my top 5, at least for me anyway.
4. Sgt. Abraham Ford
Following the death of Tyreese, Abraham took the role as Rick's right hand man and did not disappoint with his awesome zombie kills and constant cursing. He's a big guy, he's had to kill to survive and he protected Eugene and Rosita for a long time. I thought it was really interesting at the time to have those three new characters come in after the prison and farm storyline. Abraham has to be on my list.
3. Negan
Even though he's killed some characters, you have to admit that Negan is a great villain. He's fun, he's funny, he has his rules, he's crazy and he's a big guy. I love some his quirks like with Lucille, and having Carl sing was another great moment of his. He's just a great villain and he has a lot qualities that make you like him, but you know he's not on Rick's side. Even though you want to see Rick's side win, you can still like and appreciate how great of a character Negan is. He also feels like he's not evil just for the sake of being evil like the Governor was. Negan realizes people are more useful alive then dead. But he wants to pin them down and make them work for him, almost like creating an empire in a zombie apocalypse.
2. Carl Grimes
As time goes on, Carl becomes tougher and tougher, and it's safe to say that he's not a kid anymore, even though he technically still is. I almost agree with Negan when he says, "Kid, you scare the hell out of me." He attempted to kill Negan, he lost an eye and he killed Ben without any remorse. I definitely appreciate Carl more in the comic book series then in the television series. I'm excited to see what happens with him in the future and what he will become.
1. Rick Grimes
Everything that Rick has been through and the amount of suffering he's been through in the comic books has been way more then what Rick in the television series has been through. It's awesome to see the comic book version of Rick still able to keep up hope and lead people through tough times. I love Rick Grimes in the comic book series and he's my favorite character in The Walking Dead comic book series.
5. Andrea
I absolutely love in Andrea in the comic book series. She's great with the sniper, takes guys down left and right and holds off people from attacking the group. I loved when she brought a group back to the prison to help Rick's group against The Governor and survived the attack against Tomas, which is where she got the scar on her face.

The Walking Dead Issue 111 (Comic Book Series) Review
I apologize that this review is late. I've been sick all of this week and didn't get a chance to read the new issue until last night. As always, this review will contain spoilers, so for anyone who hasn't read the new issue yet, you may not want to keep reading this.
So based on the cover of this issue, we knew we would see at least one character death. However, there are instances where you have a cover which may not exactly depict what is going to happen in the issue. That was not the case in this issue. I was going back and forth between Dwight and Rick for who Negan would kill. I never once thought that it would be Spencer.
I never thought that Negan would go to Alexandria to get supplies while Rick was out with the others at the Kingdom getting ready to attack. That's a pretty interesting angle and completely different from what I thought was going to happen. It's also a very interesting way of introducing the upcoming war between Rick's group and Negan's group.
So we start off with Carl trying to sneak off during the night to play with Ezekiel's tiger, but he gets caught by Rick. That was a pretty funny moment and Rick then tells Carl that he can play with it tomorrow. Next was a quick, little scene with Michonne where she takes her sword and actually sleeps with it next to her.
Then we have Jesus arguing with Gregory at the Hilltop and gathering his troops to head over to the Kingdom. Gregory isn't really in on this war, so he's more likely to stay out of the whole situation. So Jesus has about twenty men, Ezekiel has about forty people and Rick has his small group of tough fighters. They also have Dwight on their side, but either way, this war is definitely going to be a blood bath, especially since Rick's group doesn't know that Negan is at Alexandria. Then we see Andrea putting together a group of snipers and Michonne doing a little sword training with Ezekiel and his men.
The rest of the issue is basically Negan showing up at Alexandria, banging on the gate and eventually being let in. We have Spencer wanting to talk to Negan and being all polite with his shirt tucked into his jeans and all that good stuff. I really liked the ending to the issue because at first, I thought Spencer knew what Rick was up to and was going to tell Negan everything. But then Spencer actually wanted Negan to kill Rick and then Negan says,
"You wanted to take over... why not just kill Rick and take the f--k over? You know why? BECAUSE YOU GOT NO GUTS."
Then he just takes his knife and cuts Spencer's stomach open and all of his guts spill everywhere. Negan's next lines are why he is the greatest villain in The Walking Dead by far. He said,
"Oh, how embarrassing! They were inside you the whole time. You did have guts. I've never been so wrong before in my life! Clean this up before a kid sees it... and find out where this a--h--- lived. I want to play some pool."
That's Negan in a nutshell.
Overall, I really enjoyed this issue a lot. I think it's interesting to see Negan in Alexandria and I never thought that Spencer would be the one to die in this issue. As always, I'm really excited to see what happens next and how the whole Negan situation will resolve itself. I think we will see a ton of deaths on both sides in the upcoming war and I think it could last anywhere from 10-20 issues, so we should see a lot more Negan. Now who doesn't love that?

Comic Book Series - Issues 111 + 112 Cover Preview
The Walking Dead comic book series has some really interesting covers coming up. So I decided to preview them and make some predictions on what is going to happen. Here is the cover for Issue 111, which comes out on June 12th:
 |
| "Lucille is going to be so jealous" |
I think this is one of best covers we've seen in a while. Obviously, this is Negan, and the big question here is who has he killed this time? The plot for this issue is in the caption, which makes me think that at least one character is going to die. You would have to think that the character will be part of Rick's "Alliance" you can say with the Hilltop and the Kingdom. Based on the cover it could be anyone.
It could be Dwight from Negan's group because he wants to kill Negan as well as Rick and everyone else. But out of everyone against Negan, Dwight is probably in the most dangerous position because he is going to have to gain the support of people within Negan's group. Rick has his group and Ezekiel has his group, so Dwight is going to have recuit some people and get them on his side. That is probably going to lead to someone ratting out Dwight, so I could definitely see Negan killing Dwight in the next issue.
So it could either be Dwight or dare I say it, Rick Grimes. Now based on this cover, I would say, "No way! It can't be Rick!" But if you take a look at the cover for Issue 112, which comes out on July 10th, it could happen.
 |
| "Carl and Andrea are faced with the unthinkable" |
So just based on the caption/plot teaser, I think we could actually see the death of Rick. We knew he was going to die sooner or later, so is this the time that the unthinkable will happen? Even though it logically makes sense, I tend to think that Robert Kirkman wouldn't want to kill Rick at this time. Maybe the group was split up or something, but what I can say is that things are not looking good for Rick's group.
I'm still going to go with Dwight and I think the cover for Issue 112 is just a way to build suspense. I don't think they would kill Rick at this time, but either way, those are some great covers and I'm excited to see what happens with the whole Negan situation and the upcoming war.

The Walking Dead Issue 110 (Comic Book Series) Review
Sorry this review is late, but I did read the issue right away because I love The Walking Dead comics just like the television series. I like them equally and for different reasons. But the comic book series is just great and I can't wait for the next one to come out. At this point, this probably the most exciting the series has been in a while.
SPOILER ALERT! BUT IF YOU JUST WATCH THE TV SHOW, YOU WON'T REALLY CARE ANYWAY! BESIDES, THERE IS NOT ANY CHARACTER DEATHS AT ALL!
So in this month's issue, which was released on Wednesday, things are starting to come together for the imminent war that is going to occur between Negan and the alliance of Rick's group, a splinter part of the Hilltop colony, and the Kingdom.
This was basically a character-builder issue, as we're getting to know Ezekiel and what he's about. The cover was really interesting because you have Michonne with her sword and Ezekiel with his, so this finally brings in a match for Michonne in the comic book series, which hasn't happened since Tyreese at the prison.
This is the first time that Michonne has had somebody that she really seems to click with. She is one of the most badass chicks you could ever meet in a zombie apocalypse. She has a sword and has probably killed more zombies then any character in the entire comic book series. Ezekiel, who has a tiger by the way, basically told Michonne that she's carrying a samurai sword, but she's using it like she's fencing.
It's kind of interesting that he can break down her techniques, which makes me think that he's even better with a sword and we just haven't seen it yet. So he has a tiger and he assumingly is amazing with a sword, which probably makes him more badass then she is. We also find out a little more about Ezekiel's story, which is necessary because you need to get to know characters before you can care about them. Hopefully, we'll get to see Ezekiel in action very soon.
We also got to see how many men/people the Kingdom has and there is so many more people there then in Rick's group and even at Hilltop. They all looked pretty tough too, so this war is going to be pretty awesome. But as far as we know, there is no set number of people who will fight against Negan's group, but based on the pictures, the Kingdom has about 20-30 fighters. You also have the Hilltop group and Rick's splinter group of Andrea, Carl, Michonne, Heath, Aaron and Eugene, who didn't come to the Kingdom however.
So all in all, Negan's group would still outnumber them, unless Dwight is able to get enough people on his side against Negan. The main player in all of this may be Eugene he may able to produce those bullets. He seemed kind of hesitant towards Rick, not that he doesn't trust him, but he doesn't want to produce bullets that will be used for killing people. Eugene is going to have to realize that if he doesn't produce those bullets, everyone is going to be killed or Negan will end up taking all of the ammunition.
As for Jesus and Kal, nothing really happened other the Jesus convincing Kal not to tell Negan of their plans and to come back to Hilltop. Overall, I thought it was a great issue and I can't wait for the upcoming war, which I would assume would take up an entire volume (six issues). The next issue comes out on June 12, so we got to wait another month, but it'll be worth the wait.

The Walking Dead Issue 109 (Comic Book Series) Review
Sorry this is late, as I was busy with school all week and didn't have time to post this review. Also, this issue was released on Wednesday, April 10.
So the television series has been so good that I almost totally forgot about the comic book series, which has also been awesome.
SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ISSUE 109 OR ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES, YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS! THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!
Just to recap what has been going on up to this point, we met Negan, the leader of the Saviors, in Issue 100 when he killed Glenn. Afterwards, Rick became submissive with his group and understood that there are limitations to whom he can pick a fight with, and Negan, at that point in time, was not someone he wanted to mess with. Now, Rick is beginning to find out that there are more groups close to the Alexandria Safe-Zone that Negan has bullied into giving him half of their supplies.
However, Rick knows that this can't last forever because as time goes on, finding supplies becomes more and more rare. That being said, he knows that he has no other choice but to fight back against Negan, although the Saviors do have about 50 to 60 fighters. That may sound like a lot of men/women, but Negan's group does have weaknesses, such as their lack of guns and ammunition.
So Issue 109 starts off with Maggie and Sophia at the Hilltop. I like the development with Maggie's pregnancy and Dr. Harlan Carson is checking on her when Gregory, the one who got stabbed by one of the Saviors, walks in and introduces himself to Maggie. We find out that he's kind of a creepy womanizer, or at least tries to be, to no avail.
We then find Jesus, who talks with Gregory about Ezekial. After that, we finally get to meet Kal, who was seen in previous issues, but now we find out who he is and all that good stuff. Now, when Jesus was telling Kal, Gregory and Maggie about the plan to take down Negan, I immediately thought that he was telling too many people. You have Rick telling Michonne, Andrea and Carl, but we know they're not going to tell anyone else. We don't really know Kal all that well and we don't really know the relationship between Kal and Jesus.
At the end of the issue, it came to back to bite Jesus in the butt, as Kal has gone off an a run, but we know that's not the case. Kal obviously has gone off to tell Negan about their plan and has betrayed Jesus.
It's safe to say that once Negan finds out about the plan, he's going to attack. I don't know how strong the resistance will be against Negan because Rick has a few people, we don't know how many fighters Ezekial has, and the Hilltop residents are absolutely terrified of Negan, except for about five to ten people. It makes sense that Kal did what he did because he's so scared of Negan and he's not sure that the plan to take him down is going to work. There could be a chance that Jesus is wrong about the entire situation and Kal has gone on a supply run, but I think those chances are slim.
Back at the Alexandria Safe-Zone, Michonne is pissed at Rick for lying about Negan, but I think she's still loyal to Rick. She let Rick know that she was angry instead of hiding it like Kal hid what he was going to do from Jesus. Obviously, Michonne is not a traitor, she won't screw him over or tattle on him or anything like that.
Just to look ahead, the Issue 111 cover features Negan smiling with a knife in his hands. I think somebody is going to pay for this mutiny against them. I think there will be a couple of major deaths over the next couple of issues. I think Jesus could potentially be killed by Negan because he was the one who told Kal about the plan.
Overall, I liked the issue a lot and I liked the plot and character development. I think it's very interesting to see what is happening with the mutiny versus Negan, the characters involved and possible snitches and rats, like Kal.
So the television series has been so good that I almost totally forgot about the comic book series, which has also been awesome.
SPOILER ALERT! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ ISSUE 109 OR ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES, YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS! THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING!
Just to recap what has been going on up to this point, we met Negan, the leader of the Saviors, in Issue 100 when he killed Glenn. Afterwards, Rick became submissive with his group and understood that there are limitations to whom he can pick a fight with, and Negan, at that point in time, was not someone he wanted to mess with. Now, Rick is beginning to find out that there are more groups close to the Alexandria Safe-Zone that Negan has bullied into giving him half of their supplies.
However, Rick knows that this can't last forever because as time goes on, finding supplies becomes more and more rare. That being said, he knows that he has no other choice but to fight back against Negan, although the Saviors do have about 50 to 60 fighters. That may sound like a lot of men/women, but Negan's group does have weaknesses, such as their lack of guns and ammunition.
So Issue 109 starts off with Maggie and Sophia at the Hilltop. I like the development with Maggie's pregnancy and Dr. Harlan Carson is checking on her when Gregory, the one who got stabbed by one of the Saviors, walks in and introduces himself to Maggie. We find out that he's kind of a creepy womanizer, or at least tries to be, to no avail.
We then find Jesus, who talks with Gregory about Ezekial. After that, we finally get to meet Kal, who was seen in previous issues, but now we find out who he is and all that good stuff. Now, when Jesus was telling Kal, Gregory and Maggie about the plan to take down Negan, I immediately thought that he was telling too many people. You have Rick telling Michonne, Andrea and Carl, but we know they're not going to tell anyone else. We don't really know Kal all that well and we don't really know the relationship between Kal and Jesus.
At the end of the issue, it came to back to bite Jesus in the butt, as Kal has gone off an a run, but we know that's not the case. Kal obviously has gone off to tell Negan about their plan and has betrayed Jesus.
It's safe to say that once Negan finds out about the plan, he's going to attack. I don't know how strong the resistance will be against Negan because Rick has a few people, we don't know how many fighters Ezekial has, and the Hilltop residents are absolutely terrified of Negan, except for about five to ten people. It makes sense that Kal did what he did because he's so scared of Negan and he's not sure that the plan to take him down is going to work. There could be a chance that Jesus is wrong about the entire situation and Kal has gone on a supply run, but I think those chances are slim.
