Overall this is a decent middle chapter. The stuff with Carl (and a brief scene with Jesus) provide some great character moments, and the promise of meeting Eugene's long-distance girlfriend has led the story in an interesting direction. Add to it the simmering conflicts between Maggie and Negan, as well as Dwight and Rick, and you've set the stage for some interesting developments in the coming months. Read Full Review

Buckle your seat belts boys and girls, it's going to be a bumpy ride! Read Full Review
