The war with Negan continues right were things left off in the last volume. Rick makes a decision that no one is expecting, but they all try their best to support him with it. Carl however, has a difficult time with his father's choice.

I love reading these again and picking up on details I missed the first time around.

#scarathlon #TeamStoker. Well that one was kind of disappointing. It fits the team theme.

It's always boils down to "us" versus "them"...will we ever truly learn that the "us" is all of us, all of humanity.

becausetrains If you think about it, we fight the dead and their ideas everyday. 😕 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @becausetrains True story! Just ask Neil deGrasse Tyson who had to refight the flat earth theory recently. I thought that one had died off generations ago. 7y
becausetrains @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I've come to realize that the only force more persistent than gravity is wounded pride. 7y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @becausetrains True enough, we are always our own worst enemy. Most of our conflicts are usually because of a perception that we've decided to believe in, give power to, etc. We may be able to prove gravity has waves or bends, but we can't convince anyone to believe in gravity or our proof if they don't want to change their POV. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @becausetrains Plus the whole 'us' versus 'them' has always been a problem for humanity. We have a very hard time defining ourselves without an other to compare to. Even are most visceral ideas that we take for granted usually have a very definable polar opposite, it's something ingrained into our brain's functioning that is so hard to change. After all what is light without dark, we automatically define one by the absence of the other. 7y
becausetrains @Riveted_Reader_Melissa you say it perfectly. Whenever someone claims he or she (and let's be honest, usually he) will bring the American people together, I wonder who that person will have us turn against. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @becausetrains It is very hard to be a uniter, without something to unite against. That's why sci-fi/fantasy can be so interesting to read...they usually give us an outsider "other" (aliens, vampires, walkers, orcs, robots we created) to unite against, a group that it's ok to make into a "them" because "they" really are evil (supposedly), but it's all just reflections of what we are already doing, & even then usually the humans... 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa ...devolve into infighting factions. Plus the outsiders "others" usually are stand-ins for something else we fear....aliens are new comers, immigrants, invaders, no mystery how we got the phrase illegal aliens. Walkers/zombies, often boil down to a fear of nature or our attempt to mess with nature, viruses, experiments gone wrong, nature escaping the bounds we thought we had on it, etc. Robots usually a fear of technology advancing too much/fast 7y

DeeLew @melbeautyandbooks @Bette It was just awful. 😩😭I feel like I should start a support group. We all need grief counseling after that. I have not read the graphic novels yet. I may start on them over the winter. 7y
JacqMac It was what I expected to happen, but much more brutal. 7y
MyNamesParadise Negan in the comics wasn't as bad as Negan in the show. Like the part of Carl's arm potentially getting cut off OMG 7y
DeeLew @JacqMac I thought I was prepared but I was wrong. 🙈 7y
DeeLew @MyNamesParadise it killed me when Carl whispered, "just do it, Dad." ?? 7y
MyNamesParadise @DeeLew Carl is a child of the apocalypse that's for sure 😳 7y
Theresa I've been with the show since the 1st episode but that one may have done it for me. I think I'm now a former watcher. 7y
melbeautyandbooks @DeeLew- Grief counseling- Yes! 7y
