Recent events have thrown Alexandria into turmoil, and now Rick, Dwight, Eugene and Negan all have something to prove. Meanwhile, a new world order awaits...

Collects THE WALKING DEAD #169-180.

Rebuilding time. And Eugene’s radio friend gives them the go ahead to come meet her community, so Rick sends a delegation. POV changes repeatedly as we follow Alexandria, Hilltop, Negan, Jesus & Aaron, and the delegation.

Oh, yeah. There’s no way this is going to end well. I’m getting so tired of this shit. Maybe I’ll read book 16 when it comes out. We’ll see.

Looks like this love affair is done.   I will not be looking for more to read, although I might catch up if I hear that this gets better later on.

Oh, wow, this got pretty porn-y.   Like remember when Anita Blake went from plot to full out porn? 

Yeah, just there's actually visuals to go along with it, and no thank you.

And boy, does it!   Between figuring out who Aphrodite V is, or trying to, and whose trying to kill off her new friend, things get better.   It allows us to explore who Aphrodite V is and to figure out where she fits in this world, especially with the distrust Hui-Men shows for Aphrodite.   Is Hui-Men correct?    Her boss shows much more trust in Aphrodite, but he could just be putting himself in danger since he has no basic knowledge of who she is.    Yes, she saved him once; does that mean she will again later on?

Things start to make sense, the plot starts really moving along, and this just gets better.
