I like the positioning of the logo on the cover - nice....and the story should be pretty good too. I think this arc will run for a while, and will be a slow burner, with plenty of time to let the characters develop - or degenerate, depending on who we are talking about (I reckon Morgan may start to really unwind in this 'haven'). As ever, if you have this title on your pull list, you are in for a treat.

Words can not describe how amazing this looks. As you said, it's going to be pretty interesting to see how the different characters adapt to their new surroundings.

Hi Andrew

I hope this arc lives up to its promise, and I really hope to get more of an ensemble feel, where the established characters get some space to develop. Also, it wouldn't hurt to be introduced to some new characters (and we undoubteldy will be seeing some new characters).

It's looking good (as ever).

Cheers

I like the fact that we can see the Washington Monument in the background.

Can't wait for this next arc to ramp up!

@Mike

I think this next arc is going to be combustible....so much so that I wonder who is going to be the bad guys by the end of it...

I think we may see one or two of Ricks group get the bends on returning to a 'normality' they assumed to be lost forever. My money is on Morgan to lose it first. I do not think he has gotten over the loss of his son yet, and I think that when he caves in, it is going to be pretty messy.

Will this one come out on time?

Afraid not - it's not on the Diamond list of titles shipping this coming week.

Maybe next week?
