178 is exactly where the book needs to be at this point in the story arc. There was some misdirection in the storytelling which has led to an unexpected outcome. All bets are off over the final two issues of the arc. Read Full Review

It looked for a happy few moments as the terrible 'Princess' character was going to bite the dust. Sadly she lives on to annoy me next issue.
This is a good issue, with typically good character beats. The Commonwealth continues to be an interesting new adversary, with many ominous signs presenting themselves here. One note: sorry, Princess has not won me over, even after this issue. She is an annoying cliche. She is the Poochie of the Walking Dead.
