This issue returns to life in the prison rather than continue with the story that is going on in the other community. I don't know if I really support that idea but the book still gives us a pretty interesting ride. There is a cut back to the governor for the last few frames.

This issue felt a bit like a filler after the incredibly rich string of issues that preceded it. Kirkman had a bit of fun toying with the readers by revealing Tyreese in the armor instead of Glenn. While the twist was well executed (I definitely didn't see it coming), I wonder if the whole episode was altogether necessary. It was a fun reveal, but it did not really add much content to the story other than driving home the point that the Governor was likely not being honest (surprise of the century) when he told Rick that he had let Glenn go. The Governor seems to be playing an intricate game with our captured protagonists, and this issue offered not the slightest clue what that game may be. All we know is the Governor wants the prison, and who can honestly blame him? It is almost as idyllic a setting as one could ever hope to find at this point in the ravaged world of the zombie apocalypse. Case in point? They have enough spare ammunition that Andrea can spend the day picking off walkers for target practice (shouldn't that be a big no-no since the noise would likely draw a ton more walkers)? Also, they just got their generator up and running, and one of their biggest concerns became which movie to watch that night (Kindergarten Cop gets my vote every time by the way). All of this speaks to how safe and secure their new prison home has made this weary bunch of survivors. The prison is a paradise, and that is precisely why the devil may soon come knocking. Also, was Carol hitting (again) on Lori, or did Lori really just take it the wrong way? If she did, who can blame her after Carol's recent slew of creepy actions? However, upon re-reading that interaction between Lori and Carol, Carol's words really can be taken either way. I initially assumed she was coming on to Lori with what may perhaps be the most glaring instance of horrible romantic timing in the history of fiction. However, she might have been speaking to Lori more in that moment as a friend which makes Lori's inflamed response a bit regrettable. Yes, Carol is creepy at this point, but underneath all the awkwardness and lousy timing is a woman who is suffering from an almost pathological degree of loneliness. Only someone without a heart could not help but feel at all for her. more
