Chapter 5 is the fifth and final chapter of Image Comics' Rick Grimes 2000. It was released on August 4, 2021 as part of the fifth issue of Skybound X.

Plot[]

Negan's assault on the Sanctuary allowed walkers to storm humanity's last pocket of civilization. Only Rick had the power to go toe-to-toe with Negan... at least until Michonne was resurrected as a cyborg! But Negan didn't come alone. Beta and Alpha summoned the entire horde of walkers to form a massive zombie monster around them, to finally annihilate Rick and his allies once and for all.

Synopsis[]

As the Goliath grabs Michonne, Andrea, and Carl, Negan tells them how stupid they are for trying to fight it. While Eugene informs Maggie about Negan's bat being able to control the zombies, Michonne, not wanting to die a second time, cuts herself, Andrea, and Carl free. Rick uses Carl's hoverboard and surfs up to the Goliath. As he's swatted away, he grabs onto the Goliath and cuts his way inside to find Alpha and Beta, who he proceeds to simultaneously stab through the head. Their deaths cause the Goliath to collapse, shocking Negan long enough for Maggie to come behind him and punch him so hard his eye flies out of his head. Eugene then grabs Lucille, giving him control of the zombies and Rick leads the rest of the Freedom Fighters to battle. The Freedom Fighters charge into battle with the aliens, despite being nearly overwhelmed, Eugene managed to able to take control of the alien's technology and Rick's leadership leads them to victory. With both the zombie and aliens gone, the world begins to rebuild itself, thanks to Rick Grimes.

The narrator is revealed to be a grown up Carl recounting the events to a journalist, as he watches his daughter play. He mentions that he still sees his father often, but he wanted to live in peace and quiet, while his dad used the left over alien technology to found "Strike Squad" to train for any future alien attacks. Rick meets Andrea on his way to the ship and tells her when the aliens return, they'll be ready.
