The Walking Dead, Vol. 23: Whispers Into Screams by Robert Kirkman

3.0

---

After a lackluster ending to the All Out War saga, the Walking Dead again plays its card too safe, with the ominous Whisperers turning out to be nothing more than some relatively harmless roaming humans. It seems the story is scared to introduce another methodical mastermind like the Governor or Negan (before even he was dumbed down), and so I'm only left with some subplots that seem to do nothing more than tread water with no big payoff in sight.
