Whispers are a new twist



An epic entry showing the new antagonist - Alpha and the Whisperers (sounds like a band lol).

Definitely some turns I didn't see coming. Sure there are people being awful and some people being dumb. But also there are moments when people are people and their stories are being told. There was violence but not everyone attacked dies. And the bad guys don't all get to convince the good guys to be stupid. But mostly I'm just really interested in knowing what happens next. And what more could a series want.

Do not read this review if you haven't read this set of comics!

After recently discovering this comic series at the beginning of this year, I had a short break before resuming with this volume. Lots of trials and tribulations are affecting the newly civilised society of survivors and there is a new villian... 'The Whisperers'

I especially loved the 'Romeo and Juliet' storyline between Carl and Lydia. I am a sucker for unconventional romances... Lydia seems to be quite damaged, licking Carl's eye socket was just pretty gross.

In short Maggie has a near-miss with a pretty weak and pathetic assassination attempt, 'The Whisperers' get by wearing Roamer skins and living a decidedly tribal lifestyle - how they manage to avoid infection from wearing those disgusting skins is beyond me.

There is still no sign of Michonne and just barely a glimpse of Rick - it is safe to say the storyline is strongly revolving around community squabbles and Carl. I am loving Jesus as always though, he is still badass.

Lydia what
