BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy


This issue might as well be called "When One Door Closes...", because it relates to every story in the book. Gregory has a door that closes, Maggie has a door that opens. Maggie has a door that closes, the wife of one of the families Gregory recruited has one that opens. Carl being missing closes AND opens doors, and Carl himself gets a giant door opened after closing the one where he makes good decisions. (Maybe that could be considered his fly opening instead of a door.) Lastly, Negan gets a door closed, I mean a literal door, we're not in metaphorlandia any more....and you'll have to read the issue to see what that opens up. It's mostly good stuff-Carl at least knows he was stupid to go, the family that wanted to kill Maggie knows they made a mistake, but I have one big gripe there. Gregory has never, ever, ever struck me as an actual leader. His portrayal as a guru putting people under his spell doesn't work for me...he's just too small and weak.

I give it 7 out of 10 Grahams
