Good volume. Rick's leadership of Alexandria is tested with the prospect of dwindling food supplies and ammo, when suddenly Jesus appears! No, not that Jesus, but rather Jesus of the Hilltop community, come to offer a trade agreement with his community in 2 others. However, something sinister lurks behind this seemingly Godsend of a deal, Negan and his band of ruthless Saviors. Tune in next week for another thrilling tale of The Walking Dead....
A little calmer with some interesting developments, but the quality of the distant facial artwork has continued to decrease.
fast-paced
First off, When they met that Jesus guy, I was sure they couldn’t trust him. No normal guy can fight as good as he does. But after a while, I felt more like maybe it was possible to trust him, just like Andrea said. It’s normal in this situation that they don’t just trust people like that. I first was scared that Carl was going to kill him. Luckily he didn’t do it. They went to the place and I was happy he could be trusted when he did that rope thing.
The town seemed really strange and primitive and just like they said in the end: cult like. I think it has great things to offer to the group ad I truely hope this works out, so people can start living again. Everything is starting to feel safe right now. Almost no walkers, but it’s starting to become more about people again. Even though this wasn’t really the issue in this volume. But this sure was the start of something more civilised. I really don’t know what’s about to happen right now. I think a bit in the line like rick said at the end. A war will be most probably happening soon, because people are not the same anymore.

Back in the 1970s, there was a British series called The Survivors. In it, a virus kills most of the population and the story follows a group of people trying to, yes, survive. This went on for 3 seasons then in season 4 the story changed from surviving to rebuilding civilisation, and at that point I lost interest. It seems that I wasn't alone, because the 4th season was the last.
Volume 16 of The Walking Dead feels like season 4 of The Survivors.
Rick and his group meet a community called the Hilltop, which he sees as his chance to take part in the rebuilding of civilisation. The only problem is that they are being oppressed by another group called the Saviors who are basically forcing the Hilltop to give up half of everything to them. Rick agrees to take on the Saviors in return for a deal for food.
I have more than a few problems with this volume. One is what I've already mentioned above. The others are that Rick in particular is being written very inconsistently, saying one thing one minute and the exact opposite the next. The worst problem with this storyline is that it feels like a rehash of the Governor/Woodbury story which was way back in volume 4 I think.
I think that Kirkman has finally run out of ideas for where to go with this story, and is hoping that we don't notice if he recycles plots, though that is hardly surprising given how long this story has been running. As it is, I feel that an ending is coming soon, and with issue 100 of the comic appearing in the next volume, perhaps it may come sooner than we think.

This is one of the better issues, in my opinion. It brings a lot of the themes of the series to a head.
