Si antes odiaba a Lori ahora se le ha unido Carol. Dios, qué tipas tan detestables. Por favor, Kirkman, espero que no falten muchos números para su muerte.

Coming off the intense emotional fallout from Issue #21, where the shocking love triangle between Tyreese, Michonne, and Carol was revealed, Issue #22 delves deeper into the consequences of that infidelity. There’s a palpable tension in the air as personal relationships within the prison unravel. The Walking Dead has always been about survival, but here, we’re reminded how psychological and emotional survival is just as important—and sometimes, just as deadly.
The issue opens with Andrea briefly confronting Michonne about her odd behavior—specifically, talking to herself. It's a subtle moment that touches on Michonne's mental state, a theme that continues to play out over the series. She brushes Andrea off with minimal explanation, continuing to keep her emotional barriers firmly in place.
From there, the focus shifts to Carol, who is visibly devastated after witnessing Tyreese’s betrayal with Michonne. You can feel her heartbreak in every frame, her pain almost suffocating as she struggles to come to terms with the infidelity. Carol, in a desperate and misguided attempt to salvage her relationship, first tries to offer herself to Tyreese again. But ultimately, she cannot bring herself to go through with it. The emotional weight of this decision is clear—Carol has reached her breaking point. She tells Tyreese to take his things and leave their shared cell the next day, a symbolic end to their relationship and the start of her downward spiral.
Meanwhile, we get a brief moment of solace when Maggie and Glenn reconnect with Hershel. He informs them of the tragic news about Allen's death and grants Maggie permission to continue her relationship with Glenn. This is a small, but tender moment of parental acceptance that stands in stark contrast to the emotional turmoil engulfing the rest of the group. Amid the chaos, there are still moments of human connection that give these characters something to hold on to.
The following day, the weight of Carol’s emotional collapse begins to ripple through the group. While Tyreese moves into a new cell, Rick checks in with her and learns that the breakup is final. What follows is one of the more heartbreaking scenes of the issue—Carol tearfully embraces Rick, seeking comfort and stability from someone she sees as a leader and protector. Rick’s reaction is one of empathy, but it’s clear he’s caught off guard by Carol’s fragility. Her emotional dependency on the people around her is growing, and it’s painful to see her teetering on the edge of a breakdown.
Out in the yard, Axel, Hershel, and Billy are farming, and this scene offers a brief respite from the emotional drama inside the prison. Axel’s curiosity about the walkers leads to a reflective conversation about their past lives. He pities the zombies, recognizing that they were once ordinary people who had families, jobs, and dreams—just like those still living inside the prison. There’s an eerie sense of foreshadowing here, with Axel showing empathy for creatures that are usually treated as mindless threats. While Hershel remains more practical and dismissive, Axel’s questions hint at the moral and philosophical dilemmas that will become more prominent as the series progresses.
I found this moment refreshing, especially given Axel’s background as a former inmate. He’s a character we’re still learning about, and his empathy adds layers to him. It’s clear he wants to be accepted by the group, but there’s always that lingering doubt—can he be trusted? This scene made me more hopeful about his intentions, though I remain cautious. The threat of betrayal is ever-present in The Walking Dead, especially when it comes to the prisoners.
Inside the prison, things are taking a darker turn. Dale and Andrea check in on Ben and Billy, whose father, Otis, is in the bathroom. They discover that Allen, who has been mentally fragile since losing his wife Donna, is deteriorating even further. This is another reminder that the walkers aren’t the only threat to the group’s survival—mental health is a ticking time bomb. Allen’s grief is palpable, and it’s heart-wrenching to see him in such a state. His decline feels inevitable, and I couldn’t help but fear for what this means for the rest of the group, particularly his sons.
The issue takes a brief detour to Michonne and Lori as they engage in a conversation about pregnancy and the challenges of raising children in the apocalypse. There’s a heavy subtext to this interaction—both women are grappling with survival in their own ways. Lori’s focus on her pregnancy contrasts with Michonne’s cold detachment from the emotional connections around her. But before this conversation can go too deep, Rick interrupts and asks Lori to speak with Carol, hoping that Lori’s presence might comfort her.
What follows is one of the most gut-wrenching moments in the entire issue. Lori and Rick find Carol lying in her cell with her wrists slit, an apparent suicide attempt, and Sophia cowering in the corner, terrified by what she’s witnessed. Carol’s mental collapse has finally manifested in the most tragic way possible. It’s clear that the weight of her emotional isolation, her failed relationship with Tyreese, and the apocalyptic horror around her has broken her spirit. This scene hit me hard. Carol’s desperation, her need for love and acceptance, has spiraled into self-destruction. The image of Sophia, traumatized and helpless, makes the moment even more painful. The ramifications of Carol’s actions will undoubtedly leave scars on both her and her daughter.
The drama comes to a head when Rick, after finding Carol, rushes to inform Tyreese. But instead of finding a concerned and empathetic Tyreese, Rick walks in on him making out with Michonne in his new cell. This is the boiling point of the issue. Rick, already dealing with his own leadership burdens and Carol’s attempted suicide, explodes in a fit of rage. The verbal confrontation quickly escalates into a physical fight.
Rick lashes out at Tyreese, accusing him of being responsible for Carol’s suicide attempt. Tyreese, infuriated by Rick’s accusations and guilt over his own actions, punches Rick. The fight is brutal and raw, fueled by the emotional weight of everything that has happened up until this point. Rick’s frustrations as a leader, Tyreese’s guilt, and the tension between Michonne and Carol all culminate in this violent clash.
In many ways, this fight represents the larger breakdown of the group’s dynamics. They’ve been trying to survive the walkers, but now their biggest threat seems to be each other. I was left with mixed feelings toward Tyreese. On one hand, he clearly didn’t handle his relationship with Carol well, and his affair with Michonne comes off as selfish and hurtful. On the other hand, he’s also dealing with the emotional toll of the apocalypse in his own way.
As for Michonne, her motivations remain unclear. Does she genuinely care for Tyreese, or is this simply another means of survival? Her emotional detachment throughout the issue suggests that she may not be fully invested in the relationships she’s forming, which makes her actions feel calculated.
This issue is packed with emotional turmoil, heartbreak, and explosive drama. Carol’s descent into despair is one of the most devastating storylines in The Walking Dead thus far, and the ripple effects of her attempted suicide will undoubtedly shape the group’s future. Tyreese and Michonne’s affair, coupled with Rick’s volatile leadership, has fractured the group in ways that may not be repairable.
As much as I disliked Tyreese’s actions, I can’t help but feel that he, like all the characters, is trying to cope with an impossible situation. The apocalypse doesn’t just bring out the best in people—it brings out the worst, and this issue is a prime example of that.
The Walking Dead Issue #22 doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to the emotional stakes, and it leaves you feeling uneasy about what’s to come. It’s a tense, heartbreaking chapter in the series, and I can’t wait to see how the group attempts to pick up the pieces after everything that has happened.

Carol has slit her wrists over Tyreese and Michonne. Fuck. This isn't good. Yeah, I don't know if there is any coming back from this issue for Michonne and my opinion of her. She's going to have to do something big to redeem herself. She's racist, mean, and uncaring. I wouldn't give her back her weapons, unless it was to kick her out of the prison.
There was something I realized toward the end of this issue that made taking in the events of the past few issues a little easier. Larry (of Larry's Wonderful World comic book store) told me that The Walking Dead was a bit of a soap opera. I can totally see that. Especially with the fight between Rick and Tyreese at the end. Rick is totally self-righteous. He really has no right to judge Tyreese. Rick did kill a man a few issues back, and the man really hadn't done anything to deserve death.
These last few issues, the enjoyable aspects have not outweighed the un-enjoyable aspects of the comic. I am still hoping for a turn around ... but I don't know if I'll make it through another 100 issues if all this stereotyping continues.

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.

This series is costing me alot of money, Totally worth it though 5 Stars!

Alright Kirkman, alright. You doubled down on Michonne, huh?
Not only is she a home-wrecker, but also kind of a racist? Damn, it’s hard to see this tbh, being exposed to TV series Michonne, but I’d be lying If I said I *didn’t* find it compelling.
And this is because I’m pretty sure she’s being written this way to redeem herself later? I hope so, because she’s not a good person here.
But she’s complicated and interesting to say the least, and I think they may be the point. I mean, she hears Carol slits her wrists and reacts like she cares? The paradox of that does generate complexity in her character.
I really hope comic Carol doesn’t go out like this because that would, imo, be about the first negative plot point I’d label as such for the original comic.
This arc has definitely been going all in with the character conflict.
Tyreese doesn’t know how to deal so he punches Rick bc he’s mad about a situation that could have been wholly avoided had he not let Michonne suck him off, but he’s acting like he’s the victim. Awful. But again, conflicting actions from these characters and as I write this, that’s definitely not coincidental.
Kirkman wants to make these people believably flawed.
It’s working.

Oh boy, another bad issue, hell I hope it doesn't go on like this.
Why have all the characters turned out so bad. I mean Michonne is so God damn awful, Rick is so self-righteous, Maggie & Glenn are so selfish, Tyreese is so a cheater, Carol just gonna go and slit her wrists like that, over a dude? I never got that impression from her, it seems like she's had a complere turn around. Lori is ... Lori is actually becoming the more tolerable one right now, which ain't right.

Que intensidad la del comic. Es crudo, tiene giros inesperado y te deja con ganas de seguir leyendo. Lo de Carol me lo esperaba, pero ha dolido. No se porque la están juzgando tanto. Tyrisse se ha vuelto revuelto luego de la muerte de su hija. Michone esta re loca en el comic. No se si me encanta esta personalidad suya. Lori insoportable como siempre. Ese sentimiento no cambia ni en la serie, ni en el comic.

Very hard to tell where one issue ends and another begins. Carol breaks up with Tyreese and then attempts suicide in front of Sophia. Really? I like the Carol out of the TV series so much more. Hershel and Axel may end up being friends afterall. Hershel also gives his blessing to Maggie and Glenn to be together. A slower issue, but lots have happened in this Volume.

The artwork is just so amazing! Unfortunately this comic Michonne is not likable as she was in the show. She was one of my fav characters in the show, next to Rick!
I do have a problem with the continuous sex. It seems like they have nothing else to do in life but sex, instead of exploring.

November 26, 2024michonne is one of my all time fav fictional characters, but i must admit i'm not crazy about the comic version of her so far, or anyone in the comics tbh. the show def did a better job at fleshing out characters and making them likeable because what even is this mess?

March 29, 2015
With the dangers of this zombie filled world safely on the other side of the prison walls our band of survivors finally has time to explore their new home. Unfortunately, there's still more than enough conflict on the inside of the walls.
Everything is falling apart for Carol when she finds out about Tyreese's infidelity and couldn't find a way to bear with the pain. And Michonne begins to show a dark side.
The Best. Rick and Tyreese fighting. I know that's probably a bad thing to say, but I can't help it. You have Rick, who is suppose to be the one "in charge" but he is so skinny and small and well, broken at the moment. With the new pressures of the walkers, Lori being pregnant, the stress of being in charge and all the crap that has gone down in the prison over the short time frame they have been there and then to top that off with his broken hand. It just seems a bit to much for him to actually think he was going to win a fight against Tyreese. Not to mention, Tyreese has been working out in the gym, and has a lot of pent up anger about losing his daughter because of Chris and now about Carol trying to commit suicide because of his lapse in judgement with letting Michonne tempt him. The last page again. The whole team on The Walking Dead comics really make these issues special. Charlie Adlard's work is amazing and the attention to detail he places in each frame really do the story justice. I know I've said it several dozen times already, but it is completely true. The team that work on The Walking Dead are miracle workers with paper, pen and ink!
The Worst. Carol slit her wrists right in front of Sophia. I understand there are things that are beyond your control that are just to powerful to overcome on your own. And can even become to powerful to overcome with help. Given the new world status of things, I can only imagine that things become that much harder to handle and deal with. For Carol, it seems that losing Tyreese was just the last straw for her. There are several things I didn't like about this part. Of course, anyone taking their own life for whatever reason I wouldn't like but especially when you have a child who can't fend for herself in any world is a cruel thing. In the world of The Walking Dead, slitting your wrists to commit suicide when even be worse. Especially with the knowledge that even after death you will return again as a walker and cause even more damage to those around you unless you do damage to your brain or are torn apart by the walkers themselves.
The Differences. Of course, I have already mentioned Tyreese, Carol and Michonne are never together other than that of a surviving group and so this whole story line never made it into the TV series. Although each character are in the TV series, each are different from their comic origins. Tyreese is not the strong willed brute and 2nd in command as he is in the comics. Carol doesn't have Sophia with her any more since after being separated near Hershel's farm we discover she has been placed in Hershel's walker barn. Carol is a very independent strong-willed individual after several traumatic events in the show. Michonne isn't as crazy in the TV series as she is in the comics. She never speaks to herself, never tries to interfere with relationships other than that of Andrea and the Governor and is all around excepted into the group as a vital member very early on by Carl.
Those Remembered. Tyreese and Carol's relationship, because after seeing Tyreese with Michonne, Carol could not bear having Tyreese with her any longer knowing the lie that lay between them.
Recommend. To the fans of The Walking Dead Universe, zombies, horror dramas, prisons and apocalypse stories.

Michonne is fucking crazy. All Andrea did was ask her who she was talking to, and Michonne flipped the fuck out. The woman needs to chill the hell out before she gets thrown out of the prison by Rick and the group.
Well, now you know that Carol saw Michonne giving you a BJ in the gym the other day. That is what you get for being a scumbag cheater and for not putting a stop to Michonne and her plans.
I do not like that Maggie lied to Hershel about her and Glenn being gone all day so that they could have sex. And Hershel does have a point. Maggie and Glenn should have told someone they were spending some time together, so that the group knew they were okay and had not been attacked.
Whoo! I like what Hershel said to Maggie. She is an adult after all and should be allowed to make her own decisions as often as possible, given the crappy situation they are all in. I am glad Hershel took the news about Maggie and Glenn so well.
Ha, Rick you are dumb! You do not ONLY need a gun. You need intelligence to help you if you get into a tight spot or bad situation. I think you need to take some time and think before you speak, man.
I know that Rick cares about the people in the group, but I think it is pretty obvious what is going on. One minute Tyreese and Carol together and now they are now. Come on now, use that common sense you are supposed to have.
Carol is way too dramatic about the breakup, and every little thing. She needs to just take some time for herself and pull herself back together and get focus on Sophia and herself and work on becoming a stronger person.
Well, Hershel and Axel had a decent scene together. That is awesome. Maybe the two of them will become friends of sorts eventually, since they are now getting along and planting fruits and veggies and all of that.
I am with Hershel on this one. I would NOT want to think of all those zombies at the gate watching me day in and day out It would not only make me feel sad that they are dead, but also worried that they would overtake the gate.
Oh Hershel, bad language should be the LEAST of your worries. You and everyone else have more important things to worry about, than dropping a few profanities. I mean, your time would be better spent just working the fruit and veggies you are planting.
Otis should have asked one of the other adults to stay with Carl and Sophia while he went to the bathroom. Sure, the prison is mostly safe, I guess. But still, anything could have happened to them.
Lori going on and on when she was talking to Michonne was irritating me. I just wanted for her to shut the hell up and let Michonne eat in peace without talking the other woman's damn ear off. Thankfully, Rick interrupted.
Seriously?! Sophia sees her mother lying still, bleeding and all kinds of shit, and she just sits there?! That is a bunch of bullshit! You know that kid would have run from that room screaming to alert the adults to what was going on.
Again, seriously?! Tyreese, you JUST fucking cheated on Carol not too long ago, and now here you are doing it again! Keep your damn dick in your pants and pick a damn woman, you idiot!
The whole argument between Rick and Tyreese was too much. I knew they would end up at each other's throats before long and now they are punching each other and all this crazy shit. They need to chill the fuck out.
It is NOT Tyreese's fault that Carol can not handle being alone. What is he supposed to do? Stay with Carol forever and resent her for the rest of their lives? Carol is an adult and needs to start acting like one, by putting Sophia first.

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

Oh, the drama! There's no zombie related action in this issue, so it pretty much feels like a soap opera episode. Carol kicks Tyreese out of her cell after he caught him with Michonne, and after that she slits her wrist. Rick gets mad after he finds out about it and he starts a fight with Tyresse. So boring, the only reason I'm still reading this is because of the romanian translation, and there aren't that many comic series in romanian. The only reason this gets three stars and not less is because of the art, it's pretty good, especially the two page spread at the end.

TWD Deluxe #22 is in dire need of a couples therapist; Carol and Tyreese part ways, Maggie & Glen cement their relationship as Hershel grants his permission (like that was needed) then Tyreese and Rick get up close and personal. We do get some more backstory from Michonne, she really is a brilliant character and really did start to stir things up.
Artist Adlard plays with shadows in the prison; few panels Rick looks almost sinister.
“I mean really… horrible stuff happened to literally every character in this series. Why did you guys like this book so much?” – Robert Kirkman

Con los peligros de este nuevo mundo lleno de zombies de forma segura al otro lado de los muros de la prisión, nuestro grupo de supervivientes finalmente tiene tiempo para explorar su nueva casa. Pero, aún hay más que suficientes conflictos dentro de los muros. Este cómic no es que me impresionara bastante, de echo no pasa nada emocionante hasta el final, aunque ese echo tampoco me ha marcado tanto como otro...0 zombies 0 diversión.

Another issue of conflict and drama with no gory violence this time around, but the convicts developing will have profound effects on the future.
