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.

Maggie rules The Hilltop. Sophia gets bullied and Carl damn near kills her bullies. Their families are pissed and want Carl banished. Gregory, the old leader, agrees to kill Maggie but fails. Jesus group goes out to find a missing patrol and runs into the Whisperers. Jesus and another survive and they take a hostage, Lydia. While in camp, she befriends Carl and she seduces him and takes his virginity. Her group comes for her and offers peace and a prisoner swap. Carl runs away to find Lydia.
Not as good of an outing as all the previous one. Still a solid volume, but I wasn't as interested or enthralled like I was with most of the previous ones. I aims till excited to read more of this series but hope the next volume is better.
