A new beginning is a very apt name for this volume. We are four years ahead of where we last left our heroes. A civilisation of sorts is rising from the ashes. Eugene is building windmills, they have fresh bread for the first time in years. Rick has to contend with the idea of Carl leaving Alexandria to live in Hilltop.
A new threat is on the horizon though. A new band of survivors have found their way to the relative safety of these settlements. Are they to be trusted?
Further afield, who or what are the whispering dead? This is a new development that has me more intrigued than anything the comics have thrown at me so far.
I love the fact that everyone is going round on horses now. Clearly petrol has run out, eliminating what has to be the biggest plot hole in the tv show (at least as far as I've reached).
Rick seems to have let leadership go to his head. He's not as mobile as he once was, since the events at the end of the all out war. The people worship him almost as a new god. While he claims to not like the attention, his response to a guard who made a mistake was extreme and very un-Rick-like.
All in all, an excellent volume with nice new characters and a really gripping new storyline.
