The Walking Dead #149 does a wonderful job of setting up next month's 150th Anniversary issue, whilst at the same time keeping a lot of things hidden. It also gives us a gripping altercation between Rick and Negan with the villain as ever bringing a dramatic flair to proceedings. Read Full Review

I'm going to try and focus on what worked in this issue, because I'm curious to see where it will go. Negan isn't a free man yet, but he's still in an influential position. Is he right this time, or is this just another act by the devil? Read Full Review

"The Walking Dead" finally brings Negan to the center of attention in this issue. Rick seeks some advice from everyone's favorite inmate and the pair doesn't disappoint with some heated and tense dialogue. The rest of the issue has some tame subplots and some odd decision making from the characters to bring the read down to Earth. Overall, the comic is a solid, but average read. It will be interesting to see what the anniversary issue has in store for the readers next month. Read Full Review
