Issue 99

Issue 99 is the ninety-ninth issue of The Walking Dead and part three of Volume 17: Something to Fear.

Plot Synopsis
Glenn, Heath and Nicholas are seen fighting zombies behind the Alexandria Safe-Zone's car barrier.

Andrea walks into Rick's home and they discuss the situation with The Saviors. Carl walks in on Rick and Andrea embracing, without them knowing, and then backs out of the room, smiling.

Glenn tells Maggie about how he wants to leave the Alexandria Safe-Zone and move to the Hilltop Colony. Maggie tells Sophia to leave the kitchen so they can further discuss the topic. Glenn explains that it is much safer for the baby that Maggie is having. Maggie shouts at Glenn but they eventually hug, Maggie stating that she doesn't know if that's the right decision.

The citizens of the Alexandria Safe-Zone later mourn for Abraham Ford as a funeral is held in the church.

Rick, as well as many other survivors prepare to depart the Safe Zone and travel to the Hilltop Colony. Rick tells Andrea to stay and guard the Alexandria Safe-Zone, as she is the only one he thinks can manage the task.

After Rick informs Andrea that she has to stay behind and protect the survivors, a band containing Rick, Carl, Michonne, Heath, Glenn, Maggie, Sophia, and a few more Alexandria Safe-Zone citizens leave the Safe-Zone and trek toward the Hilltop Colony. As they pass a building, three Saviors are seen on the roof saying, "We attack at dawn".
