The Walking Dead #46 Review

THE WALKING DEAD #46
Written by Robert Kirkman
Art by Charlie Adlard

I'll let the recap box for this issue catch everyone up on the recent events:

Previously:

The shit has hit the fan.

That is the best way you could possibly describe what has been happening in The Walking Dead as of late and shame on you if you aren't reading this series.

Note that cover. Just a cool piece of art that won't even play out in the book, right? Uh, uh. Not in Walking Dead. My boy, Tyrese, met his end this issue at the business end of the Machone's sword using Governor. Not only did he kill him, but he drove him up in the back of the truck, turned it around so everyone in the prison could see and then proceeded to hack at the kneeling Tyrese's neck until his head finally came clean off. Dull sword + one armed man = pretty damn gruesome death. He even kicked the body off the back of the truck when he was done.

If that was the climax of this issue, the ending with Michone revealed to be alive, along with a heavily bandaged head, and a gun to the back of hte Governor's head. The look on his right hand man's face just before you turn the page is for the big cliffhanger is priceless.

Verdict - Must Read. The opening pages were a bit slow, consisting mostly of fallout from the exodus of people last issue. However, around page 10 or so this issue took off. Kirkman must be gearing up for some shift in focus because by the looks of this arc, there won't be much of a prison population left by the end of it.
