It was a great series, and I ended up leaving off after they met abraham and the mullet scientist. I'm really glad it started getting more interesting, because during the prison arc I started flipping through pages out of boredom.'

Hey guys lets farm some crops! Vegetables! Yay!

I can't see Carl dying, but I can't see him being the same after this.

It's disappointing he went this route as I always saw Carl as the next generation... Rougher, tougher, less sympathetic. I could have seen someone important dying like Michonne, Andrea, Rick, Ricks new GF (forget the name who did anyways) it would have been difficult but understandable.

True, no one is safe but if all the kids die, where else is there to go eventually but to new characters?

So with the new issue random people who we never paid attention to are calling the "sane" people insane and I guess are looking to usurp control. Shocking.

Sweet. Rick and Andrea. I'm sure this will go in exciting places.

I think Glenn dying is more of an impact to me because he was the one who initially saved Rick at the onset of the story and now Rick was helpless to save him. Then he died, and he died absolutely brutally.

Other than piling on more and more vicious villains there really can't be much more direction to go in this story other than starting fresh. We can't just cut away from Rick and Carl without any resolution, there is too much invested into them.

Probably my preferred resolution to this entire story would be that shortly after the main MAIN conflict people realize that while they have been so preoccupied with the destruction of each other that the zombie population has dwindled to non-existence (somehow ignoring the "if you die, you turn") and how pointless literally every non zombie related conflict has been.

[Rick does something] only to realize that no one has seen any zombies in awhile and that they're basically extinct aside from new deaths.

I think this was close to my prediction as well.

So he seems to have ruined potential plans for Rick by giving Negan a hostage. Most excellent. Although I'd imagine Paul will somehow save him, no?

Neegan is really the only thing maintaining their prosperity. Taking him out of the picture weakens them significantly in the eyes of the other cities and they certainly wouldn't receive any sympathy in return.

The saviors have been complicit in the murders of members of other societies and prosperity through extortion. I can't see the other societies trusting any of the saviors and they would likely be wiped out entirely.

I actually really liked #107.

Until the end where we are apparently going to meet the wise and powerful George Clinton.

Two black characters? one of them needs to die!

Of course asking anyone else will be completely out of the question.
