There's a nice bait and switch moment half way through this volume, and the Governor continues to be a twisted villain, but parts of this set of issues meanders a bit. For the first time in the series, we've been consistently torn between 2 major locations that are far apart, and the story feels it in a way. Up until Woodbury, the reader has stuck with the group of characters nearly consistently. But now our cast is being fractured, and at the beginning it can be jarring a bit. Messes with some pacing. Still a fantastic storyline.
It's kind of sad to see how far this series has fallen. Where it used to rely heavily on atmospheric horror and character empathy, now there is just empty gore for its own sake. This book felt hollow.
The Michonne stuff has been bothering me for a while. I do not like tough women gets abused, beaten, raped, and then has vengeance. It's exploitative and overdone. So, we'll see how the next volume treats me. If it keeps treating me like this, I will never manage to finish. Outcast is better so far.
