J ONLY HAVE TO DO GOOD

Ex) DEEDS. YOU ALSO HAVE TO
i: ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST
hy? AS YOUR PERSONAL
SAVIOR?
WHAT ABOUT THE

AZTECS? WHAT ABOUT
THE SUMERIANS? SURELY THEY
THERE WERE SOME
WORSHIPPED
GOOD PEOPLE IN THOSE FALSE GODS,
CIVILIZATIONS, AND THEY
HAVE TO ROT IN HELL THEY TURNED
BECAUSE GOD DIDN’T AWAY FROM
THE LORD.
BOTHER TO LET
THEM KNOW _HE
EXISTEDP
NO... THEY
WEREN'T
AWARE OF
CHRISTIANITY.
ONE, HOW IS THAT FAIR? THEY DIDN’T Vee

KNOW ANY BETTER AND SO THEY BURN
IN HELL FOR ETERNITY? TWO, WHY
DIDN’T THEY KNOWP WHY DID GOD
ONLY TELL PEOPLE IN A CERTAN
REGION OF HIS EXISTENCE AND
THEN WAIT FOR THOSE
PEOPLE TO SPREAD
THE NEWS?
5 THAT’S
INEFFICIENT. WHY
COULDN'T HE JUST
LET US JUST TAKE INTO VV,
CONSIDERATION, FOR A Wa
MOMENT, THAT WE ARE
TWO MORTALS, WITH OUR
LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF
THE UNIVERSE, DISCLISSING
THE INNER WORKINGS
OF THE MIND
HE WORKS
IN MYSTERIOUS
WAYS.
NOT MEANT TO
BE A DISMISSIVE
ANSWER. I’M JUST
ACKNOWLEDGING
THAT HE EXISTS AT
A LEVEL BEYOND
OUR COMPREHENSION.
HE HAS A PLAN... IT’S

2 a

a f OUR JOB TO
I BELIEVE

NO ONE/ I SWEAR

DON’T KNOW WHAT
HAPPENED TO
YOUR FRIEND...
I’M ALONE... I
WERE SENT
TO ME, BY
GOD...
WHEN IT ALL STARTED,
I WAS HERE--ALONE. IT
WAS LATE AT NIGHT WHEN
I FIRST HEARD ABOUT
EVERYTHING. I GOT
SCARED--I LOCKED
UP--JUST TO BE
SAFE.
THE NEXT
MORNING... s
THEY STARTED NEIGHBORS,
COMING. ERENDS.
MEMBERS OF MY
CONGREGATION...
NOT MANY AT FIRST,
THEN MORE AS THE
DAYS WENT ON.
THEY WANTED A
SAFE PLACE
TO STAY--A
SANCTUARY.
I TURNED
THEM ALL
AWAY...
I ONLY HAD SO MOST OF THEM STAYED

MUCH FOOD--I OUTSIDE THE CHURCH--
NEEDED TO BE YELLING--SCREAMING FOR
SURE I COULD : ME TO LET THEM IN. THEY WOMEN... I KNOW
SURV IVE
ENOUGH TO
LON G IHAVE
COULDN'T NEVER LEFT--THEY DIDN’T CHILDREN... WHAT I DID. I
BE THOSE STOP--UNTIL THE DEAD
RESCUED. PEOPLE COMING
ENTIRE FAMILIES. KNOW WHAT I
I HEARD THEIR DESERVE.
IN--I’D STARVE. SCREAMS OF AGONY
I CHOSE MY AS THEY WERE TORN

HAS EXISTED
FOR LESS THAN YOU DO
A INYEAR. I LIVED

THE
FOR THREE APPREHENSIVE
MONTHS. TO LEARN THAT
I'VE KILLED
DURING PEOPLE.
THAT TIME I
KILLED TWO MEN. I ASSUME
NOT WALKERS, IT NEEDED
MIND YOU... TO BE
ACTUAL LIVING DONE.
MEN.
I WANT TO BEING A FATHER, I HATE STORIES
TELL YOUA OF KIDS GETTING HURT, IT REALLY
TEARS ME UP. BUT YOU KNOW HOW
IT IS--YOU CAN’T NOT LISTEN WHEN
THE NEWS STARTS--AND AFTER
YOU HAVE KIDS, THOSE STORIES
INTO CHAOS, BEFORE SPRING OUT OF THE WHITE
THE DEAD STARTED NOISE--YOU CAN’T HELP
WALKING, I READ A BUT HEAR THEM.
NEWS ARTICLE ON THE
INTERNET. IT’S THE
KIND OF THING I THE PARENTS
USUALLY TRY WHO SHAKE THEIR
TO AVOID. KIDS. THE CHILDREN
LEFT IN THE CAR
ON A HOT SUMMER
DAY. BABIES LEFT
IN TRASH CANS--IT’S 4
HORRIBLE.
BUT THIS
ONE, THE ONE
I SAW ON THE
INTERNET... IT
STILL HAUNTS
A MAN IN FLORIDA,
FORT LAUDERDALE IF
I RECALL CORRECTLY, ASIDE FROM
WAS ON A DRUG OF THE STORY IN
SOME KIND. I DON’T GENERAL BEING
REMEMBER WHICH-- JUST ATE"
THEM RIGHT JUST... HORRIFIC,
SOME TYPE OF THE THING THAT
HALLUCINOGEN, I OUT_ OF

WOULD ASSUME. ME, THAT SENDS
WHILE SHIVERS DOWN MY
UNDER THE SPINE TO THIS
INFLUENCE OF VERY DAY... WAS
THESE DRUGS... A QUOTE FROM
HE-- HE ATE THE SON.
HIS FOUR YEAR
OLD SON’S
EYEBALLS.
BOY DOESN'T
KNOW ANY
IT AS IF HE
BELIEVES IT’S EE RERe
SOMETHING
NORMAL, THAT
HAPPENS TO
EVERYONE.
TALKING ABOUT IT NOW, I CAN'T STOP
IT STILL MAKES ME MYSELF FROM
UNCOMFORTABLE. THE FILLING IN THE
DAY I READ THE STORY... BLANKS OF THE {
I WAS WRECKED. I
ACCOMPLISHED VERY
LITTLE THAT
DAY. DETAILS NOT
TOLD BUT
I JUST IMPLIED.
COULDN'T STOP
THINKING ABOUT
THAT STORY,
ABOUT THAT
POOR LITTLE
Boy.
I PICTURE THE FATHER,

PLACING HIS HANDS ON
EITHER SIDE OF HIS SON’S
HEAD--I THINK ABOUT THE MECHANICS
WHAT WOULD BE GOING OF IT STILL HAUNT
THROUGH THAT BOY’S ME. IS IT EASY TO
MIND AT THE JUST SUCK A PERSON'S
TIME. HE WOULDN'T EYEBALLS RIGHT OUT
BE SCARED, THIS OF THEIR HEAD? CAN
IS HIS DAD, HE IT BE DONE QUICKLYP
WOULD HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH TIME
WHAT TO EXPECT. THIS PASSED BETWEEN
WAS HIS FATHER FOR THE REMOVAL OF
CHRIST’S SAKE--HE EACH EYE?
WOULDN'T IMMEDIATELY
ASSUME THIS MAN
WAS GOING TO ALL QUESTIONS
HURT HIM. I DESPERATELY DO
NOT WANT TO KNOW
THE ANSWER TO,
BUT CAN'T STOP
MYSELF FROM
ASKING.
CHILDREN... THEY’RE
HELPLESS... THEY CAN'T
DEFEND THEMSELVES. THIS INSANE
THEY RELY ON US FOR PRICK WHO
THAT, THEIR PARENTS. SHOULD NEVER
THAT’S WHAT WE’RE
HAVE HAD A CHILD--
THERE FOR. I THINK ABOUT
WHAT HE’S
HURTING DONE TO THIS
YOUR OWN CHILD... CHILD...
IT’S SUCH A BETRAYAL.
THIS BOY IS BLIND
NOW, HIS LIFE IS
FOREVER CHANGED--
BECAUSE OF
HIS ASSHOLE
..-EVEN
THEN, BEFORE
ALL THIS-- I
THOUGHT ABOUT
WHAT THIS MONSTER
HAD DONE TO HIS
OWN FLESH AND
BLOOD, AND
THOUGHT TO
MYSELF...
oy ge
COULD GET
AWAY WITH IT,
I WOULD KILL
THIS MAN FOR
WHAT HE’S
DONE.
I DON’T TELL IF ANYTHING... THINGS ONLY
THAT STORY TO GOT WORSE AFTER THE
OFFEND YOU, I COLLAPSE. PEOPLE WHO
KNOW YOU HAVE WERE KEEPING THEMSELVES
A YOUNG IN CHECK, LIVING BY
SON. SOCIETY'S RULES... THEY
NO LONGER HAD ANY
) THE POINT
IS THAT THERE
1S EVIL IN THE
WORLD... ALWAYS
WAS, LONG BEFORE
IT CAME IN THE
UNDEAD
THE CRAZY,
FREE TO ROAM,
UNCHECKED--
A WORLD GONE
MAD.
AND SOMEHOW... YOU
AND YOUR PEOPLE
SURVIVED OUT
FOURTEEN
MONTHS, BY
OUR COUNT.
OUR CALENDAR
COULD BE A BIT
INACCURATE.
THE FACT OF ‘C7 ASIDE FROM THE KNOWLEDGE

THE MATTER, OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD YOU
RICK, IS THAT HAVE--THAT WE DESPERATELY
WE NEED MORE NEED, YOURE ALSO MORE
PEOPLE LIKE WELL-EQUIPPED TO .
YOU. DEAL WITH...
I WANT
YOU TO TELL
ME WHAT YOU
DID FOR A
LIVING BEFORE
ALL THIS.
THAT'S
SOMETHING I
DON’T KNOW. IT
HELPS US DECIDE
WHAT YOU’D BE I WAS
BEST FOR HERE IN A POLICE
THE COMMUNITY, OFFICER.
HOW YOU'D BE

THINKING ALONG

YOU'RE OUR
CONSTABLE.

I ALWAYS PREFERRED THAT THAT’S HOW
WORD TO ALL THE OTHERS. IT WORKS? YOU

ADDING
YOUR GROUP TO
THE MIX, I BELIEVE
THAT WILL PUT US
OVER SIXTY. WITH
THAT MANY PEOPLE
HERE, THERE’S BOUND
TO BE AN OCCASIONAL
PROBLEM TO DEAL
WITH. PEOPLE
FIGHT--IT’S IN OUR
NATURE.
WE NEE
SOMEONE WITH
AUTHORITY.
NO, IT’S OPEN TO DISCUSSION.
HOW IT WORKS... RICK, IS WE
HAVE THIS COMMUNITY HERE
AND IT’S SAFE, THERE ARE BUT THAT
STRONG WALLS ON ALL COMES AT A
SIDES. IT’S A GOOD PRICE. IT TAKES A
PLACE TO LIVE. LOT OF WORK TO
MAINTAIN THIS. TO KEEP
EVERYONE SAFE AND
FED... TO KEEP THE
COMMUNITY GOING.
EVERYONE HAS TO
DO THEIR PART.
EVERYONE HAS
TO WORK.
AND SO, I DO
MY BEST TO TRY
AND PLACE PEOPLE
IN THE WORK THEY’RE
BOTH BEST AT, AND
HOPEFULLY FIND
THE MOST
REWARDING.

EAR A LITTLE?
I THINK I COULD
USE YOUR PLACEMENT. YOU WERE EASY. I’M TORN ON
ADVICE. ABRAHAM IS ON HIS WAY TO MICHONNE. SHE
SECURITY AND CONSTRUCTION. MAGGIE IS . WAS A LAWYER--AND
EALLY? \ MORGAN IS GOING TO BE A GOING TO BE A T UNDERSTAND
ReeABONG CHEF, GLENN IS GOING TO TEACHER, IT’LL BE SHE’S TOUGH AS
WHAT? BE A RUNNER, REPLACING GOOD TO HAVE TWO NAILS.
SCOTT FOR THE OF THOSE. ROSITA IS

THE DOCTORS AND
TRAIN WITH THEM.
EUGENE |S GOING TO BE
A COMMUNITY PLANNER.
GABRIEL... WE’LL HAVE
A CHURCH IN A
MATTER OF
DAYS.
..-PUTTING IT IGHT. SO WHILE I DON'T THINK

MILDLY. Ke
WE NEED A LAWYER PER SE--L
THINK YOU COULD PROBABLY USE
HELP AS CONSTABLE, AND SHE’D
BE MUSCLE--AND BRAINS AS
FAR AS UPHOLDING THE
LAW GOES.
THAT
SOUNDS
PERFECT.
THE OTHER
ONE I’M HAVING
TROUBLE WITH
SHE'S A
IS ANDREA. sy ARPSHOOTER--
THAT TELLS ME SECURITY,
BUT WHEN TI THINK ABOUT
IT--THAT SEEMS LIKE
A WASTE OF HER
TALENTS.
OUR

DON’T HAVE
A LOOKOUT?P
YOU RECRUIT PEOPLE,

DOUGLAS. AARON AND
ERIC--THEY WATCH THEM,
MAKE SURE THEY’RE OKAY. OR EVEN

IN, MAKE SURE THEY’RE WAS A BIG GROUP--
“artaee SATS
OKAY, SAFE--NOT BIG ENOUGH TO
ON THIS
Soe Oe
FOUND PLACE? WHAT IF
YOU? WHAT SOMEONE WANTED
THEN? TO TAKE IT
OVER?
YOU HAVE
TO KNOW HOW
DESIRABLE A PLACE
LIKE THIS WOULD LOOK
ON THE OUTSIDE. WHEN
WE WERE IN THE
PRISON--THAT WAS A BIG
CONCERN. SOMEONE
WE DIDN’T WANT
IN--WANTING IN.
AND IT
EVENTUALLY
HAPPENED.
IT’S NOT LIKE THAT’S THERE’S A BELL TOWER UP

SOMETHING WE’VE NEVER THE STREET A WAYS FROM
CONSIDERED--BUT I HERE--SAW IT ON THE
ALWAYS THOUGHT WAY IN. SOME KIND OF
THE WALL WAS GOVERNMENT
ENOUGH. I THINK BUILDING.
YOU'RE RIGHT
THOUGH. THAT WOULD <
WE NEED A MAKE A GOOD
LOOKOUT. POSITION.
OKAY
LOOKOUT.
TJ SOMEONE’S
IN HERE!
NICE, AND
THEY SEEMED
LIKE GOOD
PEOPLE.

I WAS THE
SKEPTIC--WHAT

WHY COULDN'T
WE SPEND THE
REST OF OUR LIVES
HERE? IS THAT
IMPOSSIBLE?
THERE'S JUST
SO MUCH THAT
COULD GO
WRONG. AN ORGANIZED
GROUP COULD
ATTACK, A HERD
COULD TEAR
THROUGH HERE. FIRE.
STORMS... ANY
NUMBER OF
THINGS.
AND LOOK
AT US. YOU REALLY
THINK THEY’RE GOING
TO LET US STAY HERE
ONCE THEY REALIZE
HOW FUCKED UP
WE ALL ARE?
ARE YOU
KIDDING?

IT’S RICK.
YT THINK HE
HE JUST
ATTACKED
--.WHAT AM
I SUPPOSED
iitl
I DIDN’T KNOW THIS

PLACE EXISTED. MY
BEST FRIEND IN
WASHINGTON WAS A
SECURITY LIAISON
FOR THE
HOUSE.
HE KNEW ALL
ABOUT THIS LITTLE
COMMUNITY, SET TO
RUN ON SOLAR
POWER, STOCKED
WITH ALMOST A
YEAR’S WORTH
OF GOODS...
WAS TAILOR MADE

FOR OUR SITUATION.
IT HAD EVERYTHING HE
BUT THE WALL. BROUGHT
ME
HERE...
DAVIDSON.
AT FIRST, IT WAS SUCH A WELL, SURELY YOU
REWARDING EXPERIENCE. MUST KNOW WHAT
IT WASN'T EASY GETTING I’M TALKING ABOUT...
OUT OF THE CITY, IT E WHAT I’M UNABLE
TOOK SOME TIME TO “ TO EXPRESS. YOU
FIGHT OUR WAY HERE... ONCE WE MUST HAVE FELT
BUT ONCE WE MOVED INTO THE THE SAME
IVED.. HOUSES, IT WAS
Cena JUST SO CLOSE TO Wl.
HOW THINGS WERE
THAT WE WERE...
WE... IT WAS
ALMOST LIKE--
WE BEGAN IT WAS BUT WE PRESSED ON,

WORK ON THE THOSE EARLY HELD TOGETHER... WE
WALL, ALL OF LIS. DAYS, BEFORE REALLY MADE THIS
WE’D FOUND THE FENCE COMMUNITY WHAT IT IS.
THE NEARBY WAS COMPLETED, WE LOST ALOT FROM
CONSTRUCTION WHEN WE LOST THAT TIME. OLIVIA
SITE AND WE PUT THE MOST WILL TELL YOU... AND
THE MATERIALS PEOPLE. TOBIN’S BEEN HERE
TO GOOD SINCE THE
USE. BEGINNING,
TOO.
CARTER...
JESSICA... AND ‘
THEN A LITTLE
LATER...
DAVIDSON
HIMSELF.
DAVIDSON
WAS OUR
LEADER, NO
QUESTION FROM
THE VERY
BEGINNING, HE
WAS THE MAN
FOR THE
JOB.
HE COULD
THINK ON HIS
FEET--MAKE QUICK
DECISIONS, HE
REALLY WAS AN
ASSET AND I HAVE
NO DOUBT IN MY
MIND THAT HE KEPT
ME ALIVE IN THOSE
EARLY DAYS.
BUT
THEN THINGS
CHANGED...
HE DIDN'T
RAPE THOSE
WOMEN... NOT
EXACTLY... BUT
HE KNEW WHAT
HE WAS DOING.
HE WAS IN A ...OFFER
POSITION TO THEM MORE
KEEP THEM A PROTECTION...
SAFE...
WHAT CHOICE T_ONLY LEARNED Y7 HE WAS GENERALLY IT WAS CLEAR TO ME

DID THEY OF HIS ACTIONS UP TO NO GOOD, THAT HE HAD TO GO.
HAVE? HOW AFTER THE FACT... FORCING PEOPLE HE WAS TOO MUCH OF
COULD THEY NOT UNTIL AFTER INTO JOBS THEY DIDN'T A HINDRANCE TO
REJECT HIS BETH KILLED WANT, PUTTING OTHERS OUR CONTINUED
ADVANCES? HERSELF. IN DANGER INSTEAD WAY OF LIFE.
OF HIMSELF.
IN THE END, IT COULDN'T BRING

MYSELF TO KILL HIM... AND I
DIDN’T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO
KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED. LET’S NOT
I’D ALREADY BURNT A SPLIT HAIRS HERE,
WALKER BODY TO DOUBLE THOUGH... I LEFT
FOR DAVIDSON... THAT MAN TO DIE,
THE FENCE AND DIE_HE
WAS COMPLETED SURELY DID.
BY THAT POINT--I
GOT HIM ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF IT AND TOLD
HIM HE WAS NO LONGER
WELCOME, THAT HE HAD
TO GO. TOLD HIM I’D
SHOOT HIM IF HE TRIED
TO FOLLOW ME BACK IN,
ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T
THINK I WOULD.
DAVIDSON
BECAME
A PROBLEM
WITHIN IT...
RICK, I
GUESS WHAT
TO AT THIS
LATE
HOUR.
I NEVER
WANTED
TO BEA
LEADER.
I DIDN'T NEED
THE PRESSURE,
DIDN’T WANT THE
RESPONSIBILITY. WITH
ALL THAT WAS GOING
ON... I HAD OTHER
THINGS ON MY MIND.
MY WIFE AND SON
TO PROTECT.
MY PARTNER
SHANE... HE WAS
THE LEADER OF IT DIDN'T
OUR GROUP AT FIRST. REALLY MATTER
NOT THAT WE TOOK TO ME UNTIL HE
THE TIME TO MAKE STARTED MAKING
THOSE DISTINCTIONS, DECISIONS THAT
BUT HE WAS THE WEREN'T GOOD
ONE EVERYONE
LOOKED TO FOR
ANSWERS.
ZZ
HE WANTED THINGS EVEN I’D DRIFTED INTO

TO STAY ON THE GOT HEATED. HE A COMA... THEY BOTH
OUTSKIRTS OF DIDN'T LIKE THAT HE HELPED THOUGHT I WAS
ATLANTA... BUT IT WAS PEOPLE WERE MY WIFE AND SON. DEAD... THINKING
TOO DANGEROUS. HE STARTING TO GET TO ATLANTA.. ABOUT IT, WHY
THOUGHT HELP WAS WE BUTTED AGREE WITH TI WAS IN A HOSPITAL WOULDN'T
COMING. HE HAD HIS HEADS... THERE ME. HEALING FROM A THEYP
REASONS, BUT IT WERE A LOT OF GUNSHOT WOUND, THEY WERE
DIDN'T MAKE ARGUMENTS. I CAUGHT UP TO ALWAYS CLOSE...
THINGS ANY LESS THEM LATER. HE WAS MY BEST
DANGEROUS. FRIEND, SHE WAS
MY WIFE... THEY
SPENT A LOT OF
TIME TOGETHER
BEFORE ALL THIS
HAPPENED.
I KNOW
SHE SLEPT
WITH HIM.
NOT BEFORE...
WHEN THEY WERE
AT THE CAMP
OUTSIDE ATLANTA,
BEFORE I ARRIVED.
THEY THOUGHT I
WAS DEAD...
Ir
CERTAINLY
DIDN'T.
WITH ME BACK, LORI

NATURALLY SHUNNED
SHANE, RETURNING
I’M ALMOST TO ME, PRETENDING
CERTAIN THAT
NOTHING HAD EVER
MY DAUGHTER HAPPENED.
WAS ACTUALLY BETWEEN
SHANE’S. THAT AND SEEING
THE GROUP SLOWLY
TURN TO ME FOR
LEADERSHIP--TAKING
MY SIDE IN THE
ARGUMENTS... HE
. STARTED TO
I DON'T BLAME HIM. YOU KILLED

THE PRESSURE, THE YOUR BEST
DANGER AROUND FRIEND,
US... HE
SNAPPED. HE’D AT
LEAST HAD A
COMPANION IN
LORI UNTIL I
CAME BACK--HE
WANTED THAT
SO MUCH BACK...
SO THAT HE
ACTUALLY THOUGHT
KILLING ME WAS A
VIABLE OPTION--
THEN HE’D BE
OBVIOUSLY,
IT DIDN’T
WORK OUT IN
HIS FAVOR.

THIS. AFTER SO BUT THE
LONG, BEING DRIVEN DEAD...
FROM ONE PLACE
TO THE NEXT... I
NOTICED, IT WAS THEY’RE A _\
ALWAYS PEOPLE-- MANAGEABLE
THAT WAS THE
PROBLEM.
I SEE THE MISTAKE I MADE, THIS PLACE

WANTING TO RUN... NOT BEING IS OURS, THE
WILLING TO STAND AND FENCE, THE HOUSES--
FIGHT... IT COST JESSIE WE CAN MAKE THIS A
AND RON THEIR LIVES. I HOME. WE’VE BEEN
HAVE TO LIVE WITH LAZY UP UNTIL NOW...
THAT... BUT THAT ALL
CHANGES, TODAY--
BUT D’VE THIS INSTANT.
SEEN WHAT WE
CAN DO WITH
NUMBERS. I’VE
SEEN HOW WE
CAN ORGANIZE,
PLAN... HOW IF WE
DO THINGS RIGHT...
IF EVERYONE DOES
THEIR PART...
WE CAN SURVIVE
ANYTHING.
I SEE NOW WHAT WE

CAN DO, WITH ENOUGH
PEOPLE, WITH A
STRATEGY... WE CAN
MAKE THIS PLACE
MUCH MORE SAFE...
SECURE. WE CAN
REBUILD THE
WALLS, STRONGER,
WE CAN SET TALLER... MAKE
UP ROADBLOCKS-- OUR COMMUNITY
SURROUND THIS BETTER THAN IT
PLACE WITH A MAZE EVER WAS.
FOR THE DEAD,
KEEPING THEM OFF
THE WALLS IN
SIGNIFICANT
NUMBERS.
OUR PEOPLE NEED TO

BE TRANED--BETTER
EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH
ANYTHING THAT COULD
HAPPEN--WE’LL NEED
TO INVEST IN
TRAINING AND
PREPAREDNESS.
WE’LL TURN
OURSELVES
INTO AN ARMY
THAT CAN
PROTECT
US.
I SEE THIS... ALL OF
THIS HAPPENING, IT’S
ALL POSSIBLE. IT’S
JUST SO...
CLEAR TO ME.
I SEE OUR
SHORTCOMINGS,
THAT LED US TO
COWER IN OUR
HOUSES AT THE
SIGHT OF ROAMERS
IN THE STREETS...
AND I SEE HOW
TO ELIMINATE
THEM.
I THINK ABOUT THE ROAD AFTER EVERYTHING

AHEAD OF LIS, AND FOR WE’VE BEEN THROUGH,
THE FIRST TIME IT SEEMS ALL THE PEOPLE WE'VE

YOU'RE BACK . T’VE BEEN THROUGH...

SO WORRIED : HAPPENED. IL
AND I-- ACTUALLY FEEL
LUCKY RIGHT NOW...
I’M HAPP’Y... (
‘4 THAT FEELS
SO WRONG,
WITH EVERYONE
WHO DIED...
SURVIVOR’S
GUILT... TRUST
ME, L’VE HAD
IT. IT’S ONLY
NATURAL TO
FEEL GUILTY
FOR BEING
HAPPY.
WE’VE OR RATHER,
BEEN GOING L’VE BEEN
AT THIS ALL
WRONG.
SOMETIMES
I EVEN
THOUGHT LI
WAS BETTER
HOW STUPID
T’VE BEEN.
THE RESOURCES SPENT...

THE PERSONAL CONFLICTS...
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN WARY
ABOUT BEING PARTS
OF THESE BIG NEVER REALLY
GROUPS. THOUGHT ABOUT
SAFETY IN THE TRUE
POTENTIAL OF
OUR LITTLE
COMMUNITY.
I THINK
ABOUT WHAT WE
CAN ACCOMPLISH
TOGETHER, NOW
THAT I’VE SEEN
POSSIBILITIES.
JUST THINKING ABOUT
THE EASY STUFF FIRST...
WE COULD USE CARS
AND OTHER THINGS TO
A MAZE TO
SLOW DOWN
ROAMERS AND BLOCK
UNWANTED VEHICLES
FROM APPROACHING
US BEFORE
WE’RE AWARE
OF THEM.
WE COULD MAKE IF THAT DIRT WAS HIGH ENOUGH PROBABLY NOT A BAD
THE WALLS MORE BEHIND THE WALLS, WE COULD IDEA FOR ALL OF US
SECURE BY PACKING ACTUALLY PUT A WALKWAY TO GO BACK TO WEARING
DIRT AGAINST AROUND THE TOP. THAT OUR WEAPONS AT ALL
THE INSIDE OF WOULD ALLOW US TO STAND AT TIMES--AND I COULD
THEM... THE TOP OF THE FENCE AND HELP TRAN PEOPLE
TAKE CARE OF ANY ROAMERS TO USE THEM.
WE COULD GET
THAT DIRT FROM
DIGGING SOME TRENCHES
AROUND THE PERIMETER
OF OUR AREA--NOTHING
HUGE, JUST SOMETHING
DEEP ENOUGH TO TRIP UP
A ROAMER WHEN THEY
TRY TO WALK THROUGH IT.
THIS IS ALL GOOD. V IF WE REALLY SPEND
THIS IS WHAT WE TIME ON THIS, I KNOW
NEED... WE WE CAN COME UP WITH
NEED TO BE SOME REALLY GOOD
THINKING. WAYS TO PROTECT
OURSELVES--AND MAKE
THIS A SAFER
PLACE TO LIVE.
I THINK WE
SHOULD MEET
LIKE THIS
REGULARLY
IF WE TOOK MORE PEOPLE I THINK IT MIGHT BE
ON SUPPLY RUNS, WE WOULD GOOD TO HAVE MORE...
BE ABLE TO GO FURTHER, COMMUNITY EVENTS. I
MAYBE STAY OUT OVER KNOW THERE’S A LOT
NIGHT AND HIT AREAS WE OF PEOPLE HERE I
inka! REACHED CAN'T EVEN NAME.
T’D LIKE TO KNOW
EVERYONE.
tt
I’M DONE
RECRUITING NEW
PEOPLE. IT’S TOO
DANGEROUS. WE’D
BE MUCH BETTER
SERVED HELPING
TO IMPROVE WHAT
WE HAVE HERE.
MORE GOOD SUGGESTIONS. AND THINKING

LONG-TERM HERE--AS WE MAKE OUR
COMMUNITY FAIL SAFE... ONCE WE’RE
SECURE HERE, THERE’S NOTHING
KEEPING US FROM EXPANDING OUR
SAFE ZONE OUT... BLOCKING OFF
MORE LAND, GIVING US MORE
SPACE TO LIVE IN, TO SO FAR,
FARM, ANYTHING. OUR EFFORTS
HAVE BEEN
TOWARD SURVIVING,
MAKING IT ONE
MORE DAY, ONE
MORE WEEK.
NOW I WANT
TO LEAVE THAT
BEHIND... FOCUS
MORE ON WHAT WE
REALLY WANT...
RE-ESTABLISHED THAT’S WHAT
CIVILIZATION. WE SHOULD BE
WORKING TOWARD...
AND I THINK THE
VERY FIRST STEPS
TOWARD THAT
HAVE BEEN
TAKEN HERE

PHONES
AND THEN WORKED.
I SEE YOU'RE
NOT HERE... RATHER
THAN GO LOOKING
FOR YOU, WHICH SEEMS
CREEPY AND WEIRD...
I DECIDE TO WAIT
FOR YOU HERE.
BECAUSE OF ONE
COMMENT?! SOMETHING
I SAD IN THE HEAT OF
THE MOMENT... WHEN
OUR LIVES WERE THROUGH WITH

THOUGHT ABOUT
OUR LIVES OVER
THE LIVES OF

WERE BUILT, NEGAN SHOWED UP.
HE’S THE LEADER OF A REALLY
NASTY GROUP OF PEOPLE
HE CALLS THE HE MET WITH
SAVIORS. GREGORY, MADE
GREGORY |5
NOT EXACTLY
GOOD AT...
CONFRONTATION. I’M
NOT GOING TO LIE TO
YOU, HE’S NOT THE

HALF OF
EVERYTHING,
OUR SUPPLIES, OUR
CROPS, OUR
LIVESTOCK, BELONG
TO THE SAVIORS... WE
MAKE REGULAR
DELIVERIES, AND THEY
KEEP THE AREA
RELATIVELY CLEAR
OF THE DEAD.
NEAR AS I
CAN TELL, THEY’RE
A ROAMING BAND
OF MANIACS ON AN
UNENDING KILLING
SPREE... WORD IS
THEY’VE KILLED
THOUSANDS
OF THE DEAD
ALREADY.
THAT’S PUTTING
IT LIGHTLY. YOUR
LEADER !S LETTING
A GUY WHO MAY NOT
EVEN BE A REAL
THREAT TAKE YOUR
SUPPLIES AND
TERRIFY YOUR
PEOPLE?
A GUY SHOWED
UP, MADE SOME
THREATS, AND NOW
YOU GIVE HIM HALF OF
EVERYTHING? HOW
MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THIS
GROUP--THE SAVIORS?
IT IS WHAT IT IS. GREGORY WHF 39THE FOOD MUST BE
IS GOOD AT A GREAT MANY GOING SOMEWHERE,
THINGS, AND OTHER AND NEGAN HAS BEEN
THINGS... NOT SO SEEN WITH GROUPS
AS LARGE AS
TWENTY.
I TRIED
TRACKING
THEM BACK TO
THEIR HOME
ONCE--THEY
SAW ME, AND /@Z
I BARELY b
ESCAPED.
IF THEY DON’T FEEL m7 EVERYONE YW SO WE WORK IF WE KILL ALL

LIKE THEY’RE GETTING HERE |S HARD, GATHERING THESE BAD GUYS,
HALF, OR IF THEY JUST LIKE TOO SCARED THINGS TO HAND WILL YOU START
WANT TO SEND A TODAY. TO STAND UP OVER TO THESE GIVING US HALF
MESSAGE, SOMETIMES TO THEM... MADMEN... BUT IT OF YOUR FOOD
THEY’LL BEAT UP THE WORKS, WE’RE SAFE, AND STUFF?
TEAM WE SEND TO WORSE. WE’RE NOT
THEIR DROP . STARVING.
CONFRONTATION YOURE _YV THAT SEEMS LIKE

HAS NEVER BEEN SERIOUSP SOMETHING THAT
SOMETHING WE’VE COULD BE
HAD A LOT OF I DON’T; KNOW ARRANGED.
Lava THAT WE’D EVEN
. NEED HALF,
JUST ENOUGH
FOR ALL MY
PEOPLE.
HEY/ WHY
YOU HE
THIS IS
BACK OFF, SAMUEL/ UNTIL YOU CAN CONVINCE
I DON’T CARE HOW Ss= ME NONE OF YOU WOULD
MUCH WE LOVED HAVE DONE THE SAME--
ETHAN! HE WAS LEAVE HIM ALONE.

WENT OUT. IT STUMBLED

ACROSS A FUNERAL PYRE
FOR THAT GUY WHO
ATTACKED ME.
ONE OF THE
MOURNERS DIDN’T
APPRECIATE MY
PRESENCE.
BIG GUY.
I KNOW IT’S BEEN CRAZY,

BUT I'VE GOTTA BE HONEST...
I REALLY LIKE IT HERE. THE
TRALERS AREN'T AS NICE AS
OUR HOUSES, BUT THEY'VE
GOT MUCH MORE LAND IN
THEIR SAFE ZONE. THIS PLACE
IS GREAT.
THERE'S JUST LOOK
MORE JOBS TO AT IT.
GO AROUND, MORE
TO BE DONE, THE
COMMUNITY SEEMS
CLOSER, EVEN THOUGH
IT’S LARGER. THAT’S
WHY PEOPLE ARE SO
UPSET OVER ETHAN,
EVERYONE KNOWS
EVERYONE
SOMETHING
SPECIAL,
WON'T ARGUE
WITH YOU THERE.

GREGORY
WOULD LIKE
TO SPEAK

1S QUITE LIKE THISP
SEVERE. AR
WS : SS
JESUS TELLS ME YOU N r \ NU

Etat HAVE A PROPOSITION.
YOU THINK YOU CAN
EY ACTUALLY DEAL
WITH NEGAN?P
SOMETHING
WE'D BE VERY
GRATEFUL
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
IS THAT WE DON’T HAVE A
LOT TO OFFER IN THE WAY
OF SUPPLIES. WE’RE
RUNNING LOW ON FOOD
AS IT IS, WE DON'T
HAVE ANYTHING
TO SPARE.
SO THIS TRADE
AGREEMENT THAT
JESUS TOLD ME
ABOUT PROBABLY
WOULDN'T WORK,
AT LEAST FOR
WV.
EVENTUALLY WE
MAY BE ABLE TO
CONTRIBUTE. BUT
EVEN THEN, I DON’T
KNOW HOW T’LL FEEL
KNOWING HALF OF
EVERYTHING I SEND
HERE GOES TOA
THE REASONS
JESUS IS SO
DILIGENT IN BRINGING
HIS PEOPLE HAVE NEW COMMUNITIES
BEEN A THORN IN IT WAS A
INTO THE FOLD IS TO GOOD IDEA,
OUR SIDE FOR SOME LIGHTEN OUR BURDEN.
TIME NOW. I’VE BUT IT HASN'T
MORE SOURCES OF SEEMED TO MAKE
ACCOMPLISHED AMAZING SUPPLIES FOR
THINGS WITH THIS THINGS EASIER
THE OFFERING. WITH NEGAN. OVER
COMMUNITY, IT’S TRUE...
BUT WE’VE NEVER THE LAST FEW
BEEN STRONG MONTHS... THINGS
ENOUGH TO HAVE GOTTEN
FACE HIM.
I’VE DEALT WITH HIS

KIND BEFORE. MY
PEOPLE LIVED ON THE
ROAD MORE THAN
OFF, FOR THE
BETTER PART OF
YOU SAYING IT’S AN OPTION. WE’RE

YOU'LL FIGHT DANGEROUSLY LOW ON
FOR USP SUPPLIES, TAKING
THAT'D BE YOUR SOMETHING BACK WITH
CONTRIBUTION? ME WOULD GO A LONG
WAY TO SWAYING MY
PEOPLE _TO HELP
YOU.
GENEROUS
OFFERING.
RICK, IF_I DIDN'T IT’S NOT EASY TO WHEN THE TIME

KNOW BETTER, EARN, BUT ONCE COMES TO GO
I'D SAY YOU'RE YOU SUCCEED IN AGAINST NEGAN,
STARTING TO GAINING MY TRUST, YOU CAN EXPECT
TRUST US... IT’S APPRECIATED KAL AND ME BY
AND AL 'S THIS FOOD YOUR SIDE... ,
RECOGNIZED. IS GOING TO AS WELL AS We Ae yen T
GET US OTHERS.
THROUGH THE . A
REST OF WINTER. ‘
THAT WON'T BE
FORGOTTEN.
WHAT IS WE’RE GOING TO

HE TALKING HELP THEM DEAL
ABOUT? WITH THIS NEGAN
GUY.
No. I’M
GOING TO
TRY AND TALK
YOU INTO IT,
IT’S THE
RIGHT
THING TO
DO.
WHAT, ANDREA-- I FEEL LUCKY WE MADE

ABOUT HELPING IT OUT OF THERE ALIVE.
THESE PEOPLE? THEY'RE LED BY A CULT
OF COURSE LEADER, THEY GIVE
I AM! OFFERINGS TO
MURDERERS¥... THEY WERE
TERCIFVING.
DID YOU
JUST NOT
NOTICE?
p THEY WERE
SCARED OUT OF
THEIR MINDS WHEN
THEIR LEADER WAS
ATTACKED. MOST
WERE SO FROZEN
THEY COULDN'T
EVEN HELP.
PEOPLE WERE
PATHETIC.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
LOOKING TO ME FOR
ANSWERS, PRETTY MUCH
SINCE DAY ONE... I WAS
NEVER ASKED IF L
WANTED TO BEA
LEADER, EVERYONE
JUST STARTED
EXPECTING ME SOMETIMES
TO FILL THAT I THINK ABOUT
WHY. MOST OF
THE TIME I JUST
ASSUME IT MUST

WHICH ALWAYS
AMUSED ME.

HORROR
How many hours are in a day when you don’t spend

half of them watching television? When is the last
time any of us REALLY worked to get something that
we wanted? How long has it been since any of us
really NEEDED something that we WANTED?
The world we knew is gone.
The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has

been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility.
An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept

the globe causing the dead to rise and feed on the
living. In a matter of months society has crumbled—
no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery,
no cable TV.
In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally

start living.
