Ce tome est particulièrement violent. L'arrivée du gouverneur est bien sûr quelque chose de traumatisant, de difficile à lire et même à relire. Pour toute personne sensible aux sujets de viols et d'amputations, ne vous forcez pas à lire ce tome. Vous ne serez pas trop perdus pour la suite et ça vous évitera une lecture douloureuse! Puis, il y a toujours des résumés des tomes à trouver sur internet.
Pour autant, c'est probablement celui qui montre le mieux l'horreur que peut être l'humanité dans sa crasse la plus complète. Avec le gouverneur et Woodbury, on tombe dans ce qu'il y a de plus dégoûtant et ignoble, et ça reste un tournant fort à The Walking Dead.
The intro to the Governor, and he is one sick SOB. Thank god the TV show didn't go as far as he did.
A truly creepy villain is introduced. Looks like our characters have more to fear from other living people than the zombies. I kind of expected a twist like this, but it was still chilling and effective.
While I thought this volume started out a lot better than the last one left off, this one was more anger inducing. The writers clearly hate women and should not be writing them.
Carol tries to enter into a polygamous marriage with Lori and Rick. Her character just makes me sad at this point. The show has done way more justice to her as a character.
Lori barely does anything in the last 2 volumes except complain and worry.
Andrea was barely around.
Maggie was also barely present. She's mentioned more than she appears.
And then there's Michonne. I don't even know where to start. Sure the show often wasted her and Danai's talents by barely utilizing her. When they were having Andrea treat her horribly, that is. The books introduce her as a homewrecker, have Tyreese blame her for "making him" cheat on Carol and being locked in a cell because the others don't trust her yet. In this volume, things seem to be looking up because she's back to kicking ass and guiding the men through walker heavy territory because she has a lot of experience with that. She's much closer to the character in the show and what do they use as a plot device, as a method for the Governor to get revenge on her for biting his ear off? The writers have the governor rape her repeatedly. Just when I thought their portrayal of women couldn't get any worse, the writers decide to use rape as a plot device for the few female characters they have.
I can't say enough how much i appreciate that a lot of the horrors and horrible characterization the female characters in the books are subjected to, don't happen in the show.

I'm getting really tired with the male apologist reasoning that you can show a woman getting violently, brutally raped as long as you let her "get her revenge" at the end. You are still depicting violence as entertainment. And yes, zombie comics are full of violence but the rape depicted in this book is at a whole other level.
There was another reviewer on here who stated that she thought Robert Kirkman hated women from the way a bunch of the female characters are written. While maybe it isn't true, I can see where that impression could come from. This particular entry in the series is very dark and grim with its graphic violence, especially with Michonne.
I'm coming to the comics from the tv series (but I didn't start watching the series until the Governor was killed) and while it is interesting to see the differences in storyline/characters between the mediums, the tv counterparts of Michonne and Carol - at least - are much stronger, bad ass, and fleshed out.

Ugh. This was my least favorite of the series so far. Super violent and fairly depressing.
