Seamless continuation of Volume 22. If you haven‘t read the previous issues, you should stop reading now.

Nice one! Sprinted through this! I am really enjoying this arc. I had a long pause after All Out War, because I was scared that the next story arc wouldn‘t measure up. And because the Whisperers really creep me out! So far, not too creepy. 😳 

I still don‘t like Carl. He is one of the most unlikable characters I have ever come across. Is it me? My favourite character of this and the previous issue: Jesus. I like his looks and strength. Maggie is ok. Still haven‘t gotten used to Rick‘s looks and mellowness.

I‘m in new territory now, as I stopped watching TWD on TV during the Negan arc… Looking forward to the next one.

Collects THE WALKING DEAD #133-138.

Hay un grupo que es atacado, el grupo de Jesus. Afortunadamente, toma prisionero a un murmurador, pero no se da cuenta que es una máscara hasta mucho mas adelante.

As usual, a lot happens, and the zombies turn out to be not the only bad guys.

The Whisperers are coming... And they hide among the dead!

Just a few years after the war with Negan, a new threat arises. And this time, it isn't just a group led by a murderous leader with a lot of weapons.
This time, the threat hides among the dead, and wears their face!
description

I'll admit, their idea of hiding between the dead is brilliant. But what the hell is their problem? So far, the people they encountered didn't do anything wrong. Accusing them of killing your friends? What did you expect? You look like a damn Walker, so of course people will get confused and kill you as well!

description

This volume mostly focuses on Carl. It shows us a Carl who doesn't take sh*t from anyone. Certainly not from people who threaten Sophia! He sure becomes a real lady killer...
description

Of course, the story tells us more about the dreaded 'Whisperers'.
Something tells me, this is going to end in a brutal fight just like always. I only hope this new threat will give us some suprises. I don't ask them to bash someone's head or cut off limbs of a certain protagonist... I just want them to do something suprising like every other villain did before them.

And where the hell is Michonne? Come on, guys... Give me back my sword-wielding badass!

Probably shouldn't be eating lunch while I read this one.

So PlotTwist! ends up being not so exciting, though I'm imagining a set up of conflict with the end of this one. I could have lived without
Spoilerendless violence at a girl that feels like it's going to turn into rape at some point, someone licking Carl's eyeball socket, Carl getting laid, and then Rape!Isn'tRape! because our "society" is beyond that talk
. This was the one I liked least so far. Also, the art is bad enough that it took me until this volume to realize that it's Jesus with the new man-bun. Why I didn't catch that one last volume is beyond me (other than this is my lunch time reading, and I'm not exactly super vested in the series, especially while people wander in and out of my office).

Anyway, internal conflicts ramping up (what's his face, Gregory? is annoying) while there's potential external conflict (thousands? of people wearing zombie skin suits hanging in zombie herds).

Oh, and gross boob juice jokes (milkshakes, really :/ ) while people are unnecessarily hitting on other people. Because this PA society/humanity is still the same ugly shitshow.

The story revolves around Carl and Lydia's relationship after she is rescued from the Whisperers. The contrast of their ways of life becomes the theme of the story but also what will bring them closer at the end. Good characterization with a new twist on the themes of the series.
