TWD this week was kind of a weird side-quest, a departure from the main story.  Not that I didn't like it...I feel like Rick needed this episode to get his brain back online and quit seeing things.  It was hard to see how far Morgan sank though.  He's literally off his rocker, now.  The total silence of that part of the town, broken only by occasional walkers and distant gunfire...must be maddening.  I would've capped myself a long time ago, were I in his shoes...or moved on.  Or gone to check out who was shooting and see if I can't join one side after scoping both out.  I feel like Morgan would be a well-needed addition to the group, and I'm sure the others would like to meet the guy that Rick spent so many sun-risess trying to reach with that walkie.

Either way...happy they got a good stockpile of guns and MUCH-needed ammunition for the coming battle.  The previews for E013 look pretty much certain to be bullet-ridden.  There's no way the Governor came to that sit-down with Rick without the intention of either burning the prison down while Rick's away, or shooting him on the way back.  Carol's gonna be disappointed in Andrea for not going through with slitting the dude's throat when she had the chance.  I feel like if Rick played his cards right...he could take over Woodbury...giving the people there an eye-full of what Phillip was doing behind their backs.  Rick could really use the peace and tranquility of a place like that.  The Alexandria Safe-Zone is probably a season or five away yet...and that's assuming the TV show doesn't add some more original storylines, like the Sophia bit or the trip to the CDC.  I'm up for it, though.  Would be nice for the group to have some kind of character-building episodes down the line where they all try to settle in and recharge their sanity-batteries before the next wave of shit comes through.

What was up with that hitchhiker though?  I honestly couldn't tell what happened to him at the end.  It looked like he'd been spattered by a car, but I couldn't see if there were new cars in that pile-up or not.  I haven't seen a walker kill ripped apart like that...they usually eat the thing where it drops.

Reminds me though...why wasn't there a horse corpse by the tank during the Vatos episode?  Glenn went right by the tank...there should've been a skeleton left, like that mostly-eaten nurse that Rick saw in the hospital in Days Gone Bye.

Ah well.

Anyhow...I just finished sketching Ch28 and it's 30 pages.  The week is kinda busy for me (cat goes to surgery tomorrow, then I gotta take my sister's crap to her school on Friday after work, then I gotta house-sit) but I don't actually have to spend any length of time in any particular place.  So, hopefully, with enough sleep, I'll have this chapter out before the ETA.  After that is my version of Farewell Swords, then a short hiatus, then the next arc starts (unless people really get on my case about the hiatus, in which case I'll just say screw it and work on Eidolon/Limitless instead.  So...don't hassle me. <_<)

I liked the hitch-hiker. Can't blame a bloke for being desperate.

[Though perhaps he could've toned down the dinner-bell screams.]

Thanks! I thought it had something to do with the date you wrote in the end of the last issue.
Thanks! (Never can be too many.)

Your both right, makes you wonder about the change in the group, like if Merle well become a important member of the group for ex., in the next ep. cause by the looks its going to be them saving Rick's ass from Phillip. I'm just hoping that Phillip doesn't learn about Rick's baby girl since he "lost" his because of them "attacking" Woodbury.

The hitchhiker was more of a symbol to me. In the beginning it showed how cold and locked off Rick was but after meeting morgan he sees what he will become and so on the way back it was too late to save the hitchhiker but they grabbed his bag for supplies (smart move tbh). I may be way off base but that man kind of was a symbol to show Rick where he was headed and Morgan...shit i cant believe id forgotten who he was for awhile...i need to rewatch season 1. Anyways enough of my crazy babbling and g.l. with the chapters, looking forward to em!

I seriously doubt Rick would've helped that guy either way. He screamed so loud, he probably drew every walker in the country. The fact that they stopped, backed up, and grabbed his backpack without saying a thing about how the dude had been ripped apart spoke louder than any potential 'this is what [Rick has] become' stuff that you mentioned.

true...honestly i wouldve shot the dude if walkers showed up from his yelling...which it seems they did. Have to admit though it was a good episode. Took me awhile to remember who morgan was...i didnt see the first 3 episodes of season 1 so maybe thats why(i should go back and watch em on youtube or netflix or something
