"QUEEN AND KING"
There's no Rick, Maggie, Carl or Michonne in this issue. It's an issue of antagonists doing what they do best while surviving the zombie apocalypse. Kirkman knows exactly how to build tension and momentum in this issue of The Walking Dead and bring the story to a halt with exposition. Adlard, Gaudiano, and Rathburn know how to perfectly work in unison with Kirkman's aspects tocreate a perfect well paced, tension filled masterpiece. Read Full Review
The Walking Dead truly fired on all cylinders this month, taking full advantage of the dangerous, unpredictable dynamic between two key villains. This issue serves as a particularly apt reminder of just how memorable a character Negan is, and it also promises to shake up an already unpredictable status quo in a big way. Read Full Review
Overall, this makes for one of The Walking Dead's better issues in recent memory. It deepens Negan's character, subverts a lot of people's expectations, and makes this new war all but inevitable for #157 and the new arc. Read Full Review
Even if this issue was rushed and missed some opportunities for further character development, I still love it because of how powerful the ending is. Negan killing Alpha for Rick is bound to shake things up, and I can't wait to see where it goes next month. Read Full Review
This is a key issue that should have fans buzzing. Where the series goes from here is anyone's bet, because while the act committed could be seen a mile away, the why is a mystery that's yet to come. Read Full Review
Once again, Kirkman moves the story forward toward the Whisperer War in issue 157. I would've liked to see more of Alpha, and it would've been a change of pace if Negan hadn't manipulated her so easily. I enjoyed the issue focusing on one storyline, and I'll be interested to see where it goes next with Beta out for justice. Read Full Review
WHOA THE WHOLE ISSUE OF NEGAN. That's awesome. I think, he killed her too soon. I liked that they had sex in the show, but well, comic version of events is still cool. I LOVE NEGAN. That's the one of the best issues of the series! Even blah-blah don't let you get bored!
This issue is probably my favourite out of The Walking Dead. Negan is gonna be huge upgrade to Rick's network.

Great issue! This series is still on point, and always delivers a great issue when I need it most.
One of the best comic out there! I never feel disappointed.
A great issue, but another character with potential is thrown away.
