Issue 107

Issue 107 is the one-hundred-seventh issue of The Walking Dead and part five of Volume 18: What Comes After.

Plot Synopsis
After Rick hears that Negan has done something to Carl, Rick reacts by head-butting Negan. Negan's Saviors are about to break up the fight, but Negan commands them not to. Rick kicks Negan down while asking repeatedly, "Where is my son?". Negan starts to strangle Rick and says he will not let a one-armed man beat him in front of his own men. As Negan strangles Rick, he says he will regret it, and commands The Saviors to take the boy out.

Rick surprises Negan by biting him. Negan tells Michonne to stand down and Rick to calm down. Just then, Carl calls for his father. Carl and Rick hug and Negan explains he can be reasonable and that he doesn't like killing people.

Eugene, Rosita, and Holly are at a ammo manufacturing location. Eugene explains to Holly the equipment's purpose, but Holly does not understand most of what he is saying.

Rick announces to the community that Carl is safe at home, and is happy that Negan spared his life. He tells Olivia to help Andrea catalog all the supplies they found earlier. Rick tells everyone Negan can be trusted, and hopes it stays that way. Rick also tells everyone to be optimistic. Andrea asks Rick if he will keep his secret plan from the rest survivors, and Rick responds that he doesn't care before it's dangerous to all.

Michonne tries unsuccessfully to hit on Heath, who reveals Maggie told him about her and Tyreese and that he doesn't want to cheat on Denise. Michonne apologizes and leaves.

Paul and Rick talk about the Saviors and their main base. According to Carl the base did not have many soldiers and had families, women and children. Paul suggests Rick and the others should meet Ezekiel.
