Okay, so it's a 2 1/2 year time jump since the last issue. Now, who are Magna and Yumiko? Do they have anything to do with Rick and Alexandria, or Jesus or Maggie and the Hiltop, or Ezekiel and the Kingdom, or even Dwight and the Savior's?
Oh damn, look at all those zombies. I hope that if these are some good people, that they're able to take out the zombies quickly and without losing any of their people. If they're bad people, I want them to be zombie chow.
Oh shit, the zombies are messing with the truck these people are on, and they could fall off and get bitten and turned. I hope that doesn't happen and that something or someone shows up to save them.
Oh crap, the truck they were on fell over. Well, I'm glad that it seems like they can fight. They've got that going for them. If they make it out of there alive, they should be a lot more careful next time.
Who the hell is that fucker on the horse? He sounds like a jackass already. Oh, well, maybe I misjudged that guy on the horse. It seems like he's there to help those people against the zombies.
Damn, that one guy that got covered by the zombies, that sucks. So long, Bernie. That's such a sucky and painful way to die. I hope someone puts you out of your misery shortly after you turn.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT! Look at all of those damn zombies. They're all in deep shit if they don't get the hell out of there as soon as possible. Look, it's Heath! I'm so happy that he's still alive 2 1/2 years later.
Oh good, Aaron's alive, too. I'm glad. I hope that we see more of the characters that we know and are used to, as we get used to the new characters like Magna and Yumiko. I wonder who the guy on the horse is, though.
HELL YES! Eugene and Rosita are still alive. That's really good. That means that at least a few of the characters we know and like are still around and kicking. I was afraid that they might not be.
I don't like that Aaron was standing on that cart thing and playing that instrument and getting all the zombies to go after him. That's just dangerous as all hell and I can't believe that he's doing it.
Okay, so we have a guy named Kelly who's bitching about some of Rick's people driving the zombies at them, and then away from them. Kelly needs to shut the fuck up and be glad he's still alive.
I like that Magna and that guy on the horse were talking and trying to come to an agreement so that Magna and her group could go with him to his community.
So, the guy on the horse is from the Kingdom? Have Eugene and Aaron and Heath moved over there, too? Or are they just taking turns sending out groups of people to look after each community and deal with the zombies?
Wow, apparently the guy on the horse knows Rick pretty well, if he's been able to talk Rick into taking people into the community. I hope that he can talk Rick into taking these people into the community.
I'm glad that Rick and Andrea are still together and both of them are still alive. I'm also glad that the damage that Negan had done to Rick's foot or feet weren't that bad. Good to know he can still walk and everything.
Oh shit, Rick's changed so much that I don't even recognize him. Andrea still looks the same, which is good, as I don't like the idea of him being with anyone else, at least not just yet.
Oh good, they have a munitions factory. I take it to mean that Eugene and the people that were helping him before have a really good thing going if they have a whole factory for them to work in now.
Damn, Carl looks like a fucking girl with his hair like that. At first glance I thought he WAS a girl, but then I read the speech bubbles and Rick was talking to Carl. Geez, cut your damn hair, kid.
So, when Carl says Mom, is he talking about Andrea now? It's not a big deal if he is, I'm just wondering. She's the closest thing he's had to a mother figure in a really long time.
Oh wow, look at everything they have and all the people and animals they have. That's pretty fucking awesome and I hope things keep going well for them and their communities.
Well, at least Olivia looks the same, at least to me. I like that. She and Andrea are the only two people so far that I can recognize on sight. The time skip and how everyone looks now, will take some getting used to.
I liked the size of the grand hall, it's fucking huge. I'm glad they have so many people so that they can use it and fit everyone inside of it. I was bored by the plant talk, but I was glad to see Andrea riding up.
Andrea needs to calm down. The guy's doing the best he can with the amount of people and supplies he has to work with. If it takes a long time to get the rooms ready, they'll just have to deal with it.
Wow, Rosita and the others were out there for five days. I'm glad they're all still alive, but they must be stinking like crazy. And they're going to be stinking a lot worse if they really do jump in and resume working on the rooms.
Huh, I wonder what Rosita has to talk to Eugene about. I wonder if the two of them finally got together and if she's pregnant. If they DID get together and she is pregnant, she shouldn't be going out and dealing with the zombies.
Magna needs to get over herself. She should understand that Rick and his people are only taking their weapons until he's certain that they can be trusted. He has to look after his family and his people.
Oh, so the guy on the horse is Jesus. I didn't recognize him at all. He looks so different now that he doesn't look like a hobo. Now he looks sort of Chinese or something. It's not a bad thing, I just didn't know that was him.
I like the conversation between Rick and Eugene. Eugene's now a very important part of the community and I'm so glad that he's been able to do lots of stuff to be useful to Rick and the community.
Man, it's almost like Carl's stalking his Dad to talk about whatever's on his mind. I like that Rick and Carl are finally talking about Carl picking up a trade and helping out. I'm also glad that Rick's agreed to think about letting Carl go to the Hiltop so work with Earl.
Aww, I like that Andrea wants to help Carl get over to the Hiltop and work with Earl. That proves that she wants what's best for him and it's good that she's not afraid to tell Rick that she thinks Carl should go.
Oh shit! I didn't think that Carl was still talking to Negan. Also, I would not feel comfortable having him in the same house as me, unless he was in some kind of cage or jail or room where he absolutely could not get out.
