Premise:
Rick figures out how to lead his people once again into a war and has Dwight start training a militia. Negan does everything he can in hopes of gaining Rick's trust.

This issue deals with the beginning of what will become the Whisperer War. The most interesting part is Negan finding a way to escape and infiltrating the Whisperers.

Walking Dead: Life and Death [volume 24]

Premise:
Old foes show off old habits and the new threat of Whisperers proves to be real.

My Take:
The first part of this issue deals with more ground work and catching up - such as Gregory still holding a grudge against Maggie and Neagan trying to find a way out of his cell. The second part has a long interaction between Rick and the Whisperers leader that leads to a gut punch of a ending.

Premise:

My Take:
I have to this entire story angle with Negan has been a true disappointment. It's a shame too because it should have been epic. It was too drawn out, for little reason, and some of the characters action constantly counterdict themselves. Interested to see what happens next.

My Take:
I think the show is finally starting to find it's footing and standing out as it's own series. The characters are becoming more interesting as time passes and the situations more intense. Plus all hell breaks loose on the season finale leaving the clue no clue where next season is heading.

Premise:
A fungal disease has infected most of the human population turning them into flesh eating zombies. Several children have been born with the infection but also can function as normal humans. A group of scientists are trying to find a cure by experimenting on the children.

My Take:
An intense and heartbreaking movie. The scientist are trying to save the human race while the children could just be the next evolution of it. One never really knows where's the story is headed.
