After last issue's horrendous attack on the camp, the survivors are left to pick up the pieces. Tensions run high as the gravity of their situation starts to sink in with Rick and the others. What happens when they stop focusing on the zombie threat and hand and turn their aggression towards one another?
The disintegration of a person's sanity is a horrific thing, which Kirkman starkly depicts with narrative severity. With a new understanding of this comic's title, I give this issue a high recommendation. Don't miss this dark gem of horror comics. Read Full Review

Following an attack by Walkers at the camp, the survivors mourn the death of Amy. If that wasn’t hard enough, Jim has been bitten and fears that he will become a Walker as well. Tensions flare up between Rick and Shane as now with a horrible attack on the camp leaves Rick to further question if it’s the right decision to stay.
This issue really has it all. Between death, heartache, jealousy and life altering decisions, this issue will have you on the edge of your seat. The sadness amongst the survivors will definitely get to you. However at the same time, the confrontation between Shane and Rick will have you saying “Holy Shit!” Additionally, it will leave you in shock after their jaw dropping engagement. This issue was fantastic and the added color work truly makes everything pop so much more. I don’t know how to feel after this issue because it truly has it all.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5)

Shane Walsh’s fall into madness was as gradual as it was inevitable, and it is in this issue that all that madness comes to a brutal head. Shane Walsh is someone who on the outside may look like the consummate zombie apocalypse survivor. He’s a big alpha male cop and appears to be a natural leader. However, despite Shane’s best efforts, he is simply unable to make a break from the previous life he has known. His initial plan to camp near Atlanta so that they would be near government aid has some merit, but after a while when it was clear that no help was coming, he should have faced facts and let go of his foolhardy hopes that life could just return abruptly back to the way it was.
Enter Lori. I do not believe that Shane truly loved Lori. Lori was a distraction to help Shane overcome his insecurities about his odds of surviving in a new ravaged world. She gave him something to live for. Something to protect. And Rick’s return took that crutch away from him so that all he had to hang on to was his irrational hope that the government was coming. When the compromised safety of the camp proved that irrationality, Shane’s snapping point had been reached. It is a testament to Kirkman that he so fully and believably fleshed out Shane’s self-destruction. It is the first of many self-destructions to come. more
The best issues to date. After shit hit the fan in the last issue there is a lot of tension between Rick and Shane and their whole relationship comes to a climax. The issue ends and I have no idea where this comic could go from here. There are a million options.
