The first appearance of Michonne! Really happy to see her; a katana is the perfect weapon to use against zombies! You can save lots of ammo if you go with swords first: everyone should have one and be taught the basics. Hard book to get in high grade - see it go for over guide when I do see it.

As I dove into The Walking Dead Issue #19, the first of Volume 4, the shift in tone was immediately noticeable. The cover itself hinted at the introduction of a new character, which I suspected would be Michonne. The gritty and tense atmosphere that concluded the previous issue had me eager to see where the story would go next, and right from the start, this issue brought more chaos, danger, and difficult decisions for the group. It's a continuation of the heightened drama, but with the added intrigue of a new arrival.
This issue introduces us to the legendary Michonne Hawthorne, a mysterious and powerful woman who immediately makes her mark on the narrative. Michonne’s initial appearance is striking: she walks through a field filled with roamers (zombies) while dragging two armless, jawless zombies chained behind her, a brutal but genius way to camouflage herself. As soon as she enters, her presence feels like a shift in the story’s energy—a sign that things are about to get more intense.
Meanwhile, Otis, who is en route to the prison, is shooting zombies left and right from his carriage. This sets up a parallel between the grim reality outside and the brewing tensions inside the prison. As the zombies start closing in on Michonne, she swiftly decapitates one with her katana—confirming her as a badass right from the start. What’s intriguing here is how the roamers don’t seem to notice her because of the pets she drags behind her, a clear display of her resourcefulness.
Back at the prison, Dexter has Rick at gunpoint, intensifying the standoff from the last issue. Patricia, yet again, irritates me here, trying to reason with Dexter when he’s clearly the threat. You’d think she learned her lesson after her fiasco with Thomas, but nope—she still doesn’t understand the stakes of protecting the group. Rick tries to calm the situation by telling Lori to get the kids inside, but Dexter, now fueled by power, forbids her from doing so. The tension here is palpable, with Rick trying to figure out how to de-escalate without compromising the safety of his family and the group.
Dexter reveals that he had access to a secret armory in A-Block that was kept off Rick’s radar, showcasing that Dexter had been plotting behind the scenes this whole time. What follows is pure chaos. As Rick is cornered, the situation takes a brutal turn when zombies break out of A-Block, forcing everyone into action. Lori, Allen, and Carol retreat inside, while Rick, Tyreese, and the others gear up for a massive shootout against the horde.
This sequence is gripping. A fight for survival ensues, with the tension escalating as Dexter has to make a choice—fight the zombies or stick to his plan to oust Rick. Unsurprisingly, Rick pushes him to confront the larger threat, saying that Dexter can shoot the roamers or let them all die. As they fend off the incoming walkers, Otis arrives at the prison, only to find himself in serious trouble, surrounded by zombies. For a brief moment, it seems like Otis is doomed, but Michonne comes to his rescue, once again proving her worth in battle.
The highlight of the issue is the subtle power struggle between Rick and Dexter. Rick, always thinking several steps ahead, ultimately takes Dexter out with a single, discreet shot to the head in the middle of the chaos. This is where the morality of the story truly deepens. Tyreese notices but chooses to stay quiet, understanding that it was necessary for the group’s safety. This moment complicates Rick’s stance on killing, as he breaks his own moral code with a strategic execution, telling Andrew and the others that Dexter must have taken a stray bullet. It’s a harrowing reminder of the difficult choices leaders have to make in this new world.
Meanwhile, Michonne and Otis arrive at the prison gates, where Otis introduces her as the one who saved him. Michonne’s entrance here is fascinating. She explains her relationship with her pet walkers—her boyfriend and his best friend—highlighting how far she’s gone to adapt and survive. When Rick offers her a place in the prison under certain conditions, Michonne doesn’t hesitate. In a cold yet decisive moment, she beheads her pet walkers, declaring she doesn’t need them anymore. This instantly establishes her as someone who’s not afraid to make tough choices.
Rick offers her a place within their group, but just as they prepare to settle in, Andrew runs outside, devastated by Dexter's death. Dale wonders if they should go after him, but Rick shows little mercy, saying that Andrew is on his own now, a shift in Rick’s leadership style toward a more hardened, survival-driven mindset.
At night, Tyreese and Rick have a conversation on the walkway, reflecting on the events of the day. Tyreese confronts Rick about his decision to kill Dexter, pointing out that Rick has gone against his own moral stance of "you kill, you die." Rick acknowledges this truth, signaling that perhaps the rules of this world are changing faster than he’d like to admit. There’s an implicit understanding between the two that while Rick’s actions may have been necessary, it marks a dark turning point for him as a leader.
This issue packed a lot of action and moral dilemmas into its pages, and I found myself conflicted by the end. Patricia continues to be a frustrating character. Her naïveté and willingness to trust those who’ve already shown they’re dangerous make her a liability to the group. She doesn’t seem to grasp the consequences of her actions, and it's maddening.
Michonne, on the other hand, is an exciting and much-needed addition to the group. She immediately proves her worth and brings a level of cool, calculated survivalism that balances out some of the more emotional or rash decisions by other characters. Her introduction feels like a breath of fresh air amidst the chaos. I particularly loved the moment when she decapitated her walker companions without a second thought—she’s a survivor in the truest sense of the word.
The action scenes with the roamers (walkers) had me on edge, especially the moment when Otis was surrounded. I was holding my breath, expecting him to meet a grisly end, but Michonne’s intervention felt like the perfect way to solidify her role in the group.
Rick’s decision to kill Dexter, while morally questionable, was necessary for the group’s survival, and I think Tyreese’s quiet acknowledgment of this speaks volumes. Rick’s leadership is evolving, and while he’s trying to hold on to his humanity, moments like this show that the line between right and wrong is becoming blurrier with each issue.
In conclusion, this issue expertly weaves tension, action, and moral dilemmas together. Michonne’s introduction is a highlight, and Rick’s leadership is put to the test once again in ways that force him to confront his own values. It’s a gripping, thought-provoking issue that sets up what promises to be an exciting arc.

Well, yikes and double yikes. We haven't learned her name yet, but that badass chick that I wanted to show up has shown up with her two zombie pets ... of course, she kills them right away, so that's no fun. As of right now she seems kinda on the same page as Andrea and Maggie ... just your typical badass chick. I need some dimension here. With the male characters too. Rick and Tyreese are different enough. Glenn is also his own character, and Hershel has an interesting story going ... but all the other men have kinda felt the same.
So, I guess they are not leaving the prison. Rick shot Dexter while the attack was on from the roamers that got out of the a-block. I feel like this is completely out of his character. I can see where Kirkman maybe wants to take Rick down a darker path ... it just feels like there wasn't enough of a progression to this for Rick. Feels a little false. I also think I am holding the comic to a higher standard since issue 15. I really enjoyed that issue. Enough to add it to my list of absolute favorite pieces of fiction. My expectations are higher. As I read on, I'll be on the look out for consistency, and watching the evolution of each character. I hope things turn around in the next few issues.

Being a huge fan of the show, I wanted to see how the original writing started and how the show writers followed and deviated from the comics. My dislikes were that the comics are much more crude, crass, and unnecessarily violent. I did like the change in relationships and how people worked together differently, and the comics have a different creepiness feel than you get watching it on TV. Overall, I prefer the show, and probably will not finish out the comic book series.

This is a review of the entire series.
Rick Grimes is a strong-willed deputy who missed the end of the world because he was in a coma for a month after getting shot in the line of duty. Shaken, starving and confused, Rick escapes the horror of the abandoned hospital only to be met with something far more terrible. Not only has the world ended, but the dead have learned to walk and to kill without mercy. After learning that his wife and son have fled to Atlanta from a single survivor and his son, Rick goes on a journey to reunite with his family and search for more survivors.
Rick quickly has to come to terms with the fact that the world has ended and only a select few survived. The dead have risen from their graves and they prey on the living. In a world where every minute feels like hours, where there's no such thing as law and order, where finding a small meal is a tremendous task, the walking dead are quite possibly the least threatening thing for the survivors to have on their breaking minds. Humanity is pushed to the brink of destruction, forcing them to embrace their cruel and primal nature in order to survive. Sometimes you have to be more concerned about who you let into your community so they don't kill you in your sleep and steal everything you once cared about. Rick has no choice but to abandon the ways of law and order that he's upheld as an officer for so long in order to protect the few loved ones he has left. He has to become a monster to protect his crew or risk being devoured by those who became more monstrous than him and even the walking dead.
Despite zombies running the world and having the series named after them, what really sets this series apart from the average zombie apocalypse tale is the focus on realism and the daily struggles, flaws and depth of the characters. There's plenty of badass zombie killing action, but the action often takes a back seat to give the characters plenty of times to share their extremely tragic yet endearing stories, grow through mutual suffering and learn to adapt to a world that has left them to die. Even after the world has ended, many people still can't see eye to eye. They turn on each other and kill each other when they should come together. Others form alliances in spite of their differences and try to rebuild over the corpse of everything that was lost. The daily human drama and conflict is more intense than any monster apocalypse could hope to be.
We watch Rick struggle to balance his old moral code with the many necessary evils he has to commit in order to survive and make the world a better place for the ones he holds close. We watch people like Glen, Dale and Maggie attempt to find love in spite of having every reason to be filled with fear, hate and self-loathing. Characters like Michonne have to learn how to forgive themselves and convince themselves they deserve to be loved despite all the blood on their hands. We watch the weak like Carl and Andrea become strong and sometimes the strong become evil like The Governor. Even monsters like the wicked yet oddly lovable Negan are given the chance to find new ways of redeeming themselves by struggling alongside the other survivors that have all been changed by the horrors of the fallen world.
The pacing is extremely slow and I can understand why that may be a turnoff for a lot of people, but I eventually learned to enjoy watching the characters grow, overcome their trauma, find meaning in life and learn to love again. The characters are forced to do many terrible things to survive and it haunts them every waking moment. The ways they overcome these regrets is very realistic, human and hopeful. The slow pacing really gives the feeling that we're living beside these people. The way every tiny detail of their lives and who they are is explored makes them feel very real and believable.
When I first started reading the series, I wasn't expecting it to have such an uplifting ending. It seemed so bleak and nihilistic for a long time and things would go horribly wrong even when they seemed to be going so well, but the finale channels all the pain, suffering and betrayal of the previous volumes and tops it off with a very touching and inspiring finish. This was never a story about hopelessness. It's about learning to appreciate the little things, learning to forgive yourself and learning to move on even when it's hard. When everything seems lost there's always more to be found, even when we believe otherwise because we convince ourselves that we don't deserve to be happy ever again. Instead of dwelling on what was lost, strive to try and make things better than they were before.
I've never been a huge fan of zombie apocalypse stories, but The Walking Dead had enough heart and strong social commentary to make me stick by the characters until the end and I enjoyed every moment of their long trial.

She’s here and she’s just as awesome.
I disagree with Rick placing Michonne in a cell after she saved Otis’ life, but I understand fully after what just happened with the two inmates.
Rick is…oof, Rick messed up.
Very interesting how Rick’s decision to kill the guy after giving his edict, “You kill, you die.” The irony is great.
The irony also came about because Kirkman, as he states in the back of the issue, that he wanted to resolve the plot point quickly. It turns out that making Rick go back on his word, makes him flawed, and therefore more complex. Funny how that worked out.
And honestly the plot was that much more interesting for it.
While the Michonne of the TV series had a default face of intimidation, original comic Michonne’s face seems almost sad, if not wistful. Love it.
Another hit issue. This train doesn’t stop until its destination. Whew.

Miiiiiiiichooooooonnnnne! My gurl!
Michonne is probably my favourite character from the show, glad she's finally turned up in the comics, minus baby supplies & news on Glenn & Maggie - I can't believe how much the comics & show differ. Goodbye Dexter, you could have been a good dude but you decided to be a bad dude. Although, I'd be pretty pissed too if people came into MY place then put me in a cell accusing me of murder. I'm surprised Otis is still knocking around, he gonna die soon though, right?

Michone! Need I say more? She is why I started watching and continue to be intrigued by the series no matter what form I consume. In fact, the depth of characters, especially the female ones, grows with each new birthed version. Finally, books and shows that have true equality. Even the bad guys show their good sides, and all the others show faults to overcome.
These Kindle versions are shorter but, for a $1.99 pack quite the story. And far better than the paper comic books in that you can enlarge the font or pictures for better understanding.

Dexter's attempt to control the prison had an abrupt end. When he picked up the weapons in Block A, he forgot to close the door and a horde of zombies attacked the group. In the fight, he lowered his guard and Rick shot him dead. Although it was the wisest thing to do to protect the group, this decision jeopardizes Rick's "No Killing" stance.
Meanwhile, the group has a new and mysterious visitor, but is she friend, foe or worse? Where did she come from? How did she survive? Can she be trusted? this is the beginning of a new story arc, an excellent jumping-on point for new readers. The quest to rebuild civilization starts here.
Although I very rarely disagree with the descriptions that Comic Vine and Goodreads give for books, I have to here. Yes, this maybe a good jumping-on point if your a new reader to the comics, however, you have missed a wide range of things that have made the characters who they are now and how they handle things. I think not reading any of The Walking Dead comics is a mistake. If you are going to read them you really should start with issue #1 and continue through the series with all the additional specials and extras as an added bonus. I understand my viewpoint on this is a bit biased right now, since I have for the last two months fully immersed myself into Robert Kirkman's work and The Walking Dead Universe from TV series, podcasts, music, audio books of the novels, magazines, and comics. I have in effect, caught up on ten years of work within two months and I am still not fully caught up. Whatever your reasoning behind reading anything I always feel that it is best to start from the very beginning. I have read several series where there are short stories or additions that were written after the originals have come out. These additions help explain and clear any confusing parts of the story. Many times I have went back and re-read the series with those additions but into their proper order and the stories have come together however, I enjoyed the story much more the first time around without having everything fully explained until it was meant to inside the actually stories themselves. Besides my ranting on here, I still believe everyone is going to read things however they will. I am simply happy that you are reading them and I am sure that the creators of whatever it is are thankful to you as well.
The Best. What's not to like in this issue. Walker horde...check, conflict behind inmates and Rick's group...check, Michonne shows up saves Otis and is wielding a badass sword...check and check. Michonne is here!!!!! From the special you can tell Michonne is in it for the long haul. Also, she is one of my favorite characters from the TV series, so I am excited to see just what and who they based her on from the comics.
The Worst. I know I mentioned in the Michonne Special review that there wasn't anything I could complain about other than the factor it wasn't long enough on the origin story of Michonne. Well, in the Michonne Special you get this issue as well. Upon reading it again, I think the worst part for me now is the way Rick keeps going back and forth with his decisions when it suits him. I know the world has changed and things are not ideal to raise a family and survive but as a cop and as a family man everything isn't always so clear cut. Even in the world we live in now without the walkers and true fear of not having enough food to survive, things happen all the time that are against the laws men and women have set forth for us to protect us. Look at the news on any given week! Those that are meant to protect us, can also harm us if their choices are not so clear cut as them set them out to be at the start. I am not and will not go on a rant about this, I'm just saying that Rick is so desperately trying to hold onto a foundation of right and wrong that can't exist in this new walker filled world.
The Differences. The TV series inmates mostly met with the same fate as those layed out in the comics. In the show Rick does kill the inmates "leader" for trying to kill them off. Another inmate turns the generator back on so that the alarm sounds and draws more walkers so that another attempt at taking over the prison is attempted. Remaining are Axel and another inmate named Oscar. So much like the comics the only really inmate to survive and be excepted by Rick's group is Axel.
Those Remembered. Dexter, after a failed attempt to try and take over the prison from Rick's group, he lets out the walker horde from Block A inside the prison and lets his guard down long enough for Rick to shot him in the head.
I'm putting Andrew down for now, because frankly he is presumed dead after running out the prison gates after seeing Dexter dead. Michonne's walker pets, her boyfriend and best friend, in order to gain access to the prison Rick demands that she leave her pets outside and in a swift motion she cuts off both of their heads before handing over her sword and entering into the safety of the prison.
Recommend. To any fans of The Walking Dead Universe, Michonne, zombies, horror dramas, and prisons. I probably show have been adding all along apocalypse style stories as well, since the world has had to start all over.

Meanwhile, the group has a new and mysterious visitor, but is she friend, foe or worse? Where did she come from? How did she survive? Can she be trusted? this is the beginning of a new story arc, an excellent jumping-on point for new readers. The quest to rebuild civilization starts here.
Although I very rarely disagree with the descriptions that Comic Vine and Goodreads give for books, I have to here. Yes, this maybe a good jumping-on point if your a new reader to the comics, however, you have missed a wide range of things that have made the characters who they are now and how they handle things. I think not reading any of The Walking Dead comics is a mistake. If you are going to read them you really should start with issue #1 and continue through the series with all the additional specials and extras as an added bonus. I understand my viewpoint on this is a bit biased right now, since I have for the last two months fully immersed myself into Robert Kirkman's work and The Walking Dead Universe from TV series, podcasts, music, audio books of the novels, magazines, and comics. I have in effect, caught up on ten years of work within two months and I am still not fully caught up. Whatever your reasoning behind reading anything I always feel that it is best to start from the very beginning. I have read several series where there are short stories or additions that were written after the originals have come out. These additions help explain and clear any confusing parts of the story. Many times I have went back and re-read the series with those additions but into their proper order and the stories have come together however, I enjoyed the story much more the first time around without having everything fully explained until it was meant to inside the actually stories themselves. Besides my ranting on here, I still believe everyone is going to read things however they will. I am simply happy that you are reading them and I am sure that the creators of whatever it is are thankful to you as well.

This issue takes off quickly, and was hard to put down. Michonne is introduced to the series, and I don't like her like I do in the TV series. If you kill should you be killed is the major question that is raised.

5 stars for michonne. I love that this shows the hypocrisy of those in the group, and how they act as though they can make set rules, but really it’s just a core group and anyone who threatens that is gone.

Look at Michonne go! She is kicking those zombies asses with her sword. She is definitely someone that I would want by my side when the shit hit the fan.
Patricia is a moron for thinking that Dexter and the other prisoners would actually keep their word and just make them leave without trying to kill them. She should know better, the idiot.
Rick is stupid, too. I get that he does not want them to have to leave the prison, but you do not ignore orders from a guy who has a damn gun pointed at you. Idiot!
Seriously, guys. This Dexter guy is NOT someone you want to fuck with. He has been in jail this whole time and I am sure he would not hesitate to kill anyone who annoyed him.
I like that Axel tried to stick up for Rick and the group. It proves that he is not a horrible person and is wanting to do the right thing, which I like.
I am not surprised that Dexter kept the armory a secret. He wanted to have the guns to himself so that he could be in charge and make Rick and his group leave the prison.
Oh damn, look at all those zombies. Dexter better use his bullets on the zombies instead of Rick and his group. Rick also needs to start shooting those zombies, to they can clear the area and make it safe.
Dexter needs to give it up, at the moment, the zombies are a bigger threat than Rick and his group are, so start shooting the zombies, you moron!
Axel's line about scaring the zombie's away, had me laughing. I hope he is in the comics for a long time, because his humor and his 'ya follow me?' comments, crack me up.
Rick is right, Andrea! Shoot first and ask questions later, just like Dean from Supernatural always says. Take care of the situation now, and then ask anything you want to know, when it's safe.
Otis is having shitty luck, that thankfully gets better. He gets locked out of the prison gates and surrounded by zombies, but luckily Michonne saves him.
Rick SHOULD have let the damn zombie kill Dexter. I know that I WOULD have. It would be one less person and thing that he would have to worry about in the long run.
I like the close up of Rick in the comic right before he shoots and kills Dexter with a headshot. Tyreese knows that Rick is the one who shot Dexter.
Also, I agree with Rick. Who gives a shit that Dexter is dead? The guy was a criminal, crazy, and was going to kick them out of the damn prison. I would have shot the guy, too.
I like the conversation between Otis and Michonne. I am also glad that Michonne saved Otis and will now hopefully meet Rick and the group and stay with them.
I laughed when Rick asked Michonne if she still wanted to live in the prison with them, after burning the zombies bodies, and she was all, "You been out there recently? Fuck yeah."
I agree that it is a smart idea to keep an eye on Michonne, at least until they get to know her and can make sure she is not come crazy killer or cannibal or something.
I agree with Tyreese, I am glad that Rick killed Dexter, as I know that no one else would have had the balls to do it. And of course though, I have a feeling it is going to come back and bite Rick in the ass.
As for the "you kill, you die," thing. I think Rick needs to just do what he has to do to keep himself and the group safe and if anyone has a problem with it, they can get the fuck out.

حقا لا أصدق ما أراه بعينى من وصول الرسوم الكاريكاترية إلى هذا المستوى
كم هى رائعة بما تحتوى من تفاصيل مذهلة تشعرك وكأنك داخل المشهد
بالإضافة أنه يروق لى أسلوب الحوار بين الأشخاص بشدة
قصة ذلك العمل تدور حول انتشار أحد الأوبئة التى جعلت البشر أشبه بالزومبى من آكلى لحوم البشر ويستعرض محاولات بعض الناجين البقاء على ظهر الأرض فى ظل عدم وجود أدنى أمل فى استمرار الحياة بقيادة الشرطى ريك
بالاستمرار فى القراءة أشعر بروعة متابعة الأحداث ، فالقصة مشوقة حقا
لا عجب حين تكون الصورة الأصل مبهرة هكذا ، فتكون النسخة -العمل التليفزيونى- أكثر من رائع
