Since landing in Alexandria, the programme seems to have taken all the main story beats straight from the comics. This volume covers the second half of season six almost exactly (with the slightly different cast of course (no Daryl, Andrea in the Carol role etc)
The horde doesn't arrive at the town in the same way as it did on TV but essesntially it's the same story of the first battle for Alexandria. Another regular from the TV passed on to the other side.
Counting down the volumes till Lucille makes her impact on assorted members of the cast.
The writing continues to be top notch. The Rick/Carl relationship is deeply moving. Moreso in that Carl in the comics is still not in double digits. Sadly Chandler Riggs chose to age between seasons and failed to remain the correct playing age for the character. I think that displays a deep irreverence for the source material.
Volume 15 has now dropped through my door and will be read as soon as I finish the novel I just started (this is a catch up and vol 15 will be book 56)
