  • Sarah Bennett gets increasingly freaked out about becoming a walker no matter how you die. She cuts her hand opening their last can of peaches and throws it across the room. Sebastian hands her a baseball bat with nails sticking out of it he made and asks her if she wants to go hunting walkers. She agrees, as they haven't had proper fresh air in seven weeks, and now's a good time to start doing stupid shit. They come across three walkers in the street. Sebastian thinks there's too many to take on at once, but Sarah charges in and takes one out with her bat. Sebastian kills the other and they both take down the third. Sarah feels alive and kisses Sebastian without knowing why. He pushes her away and tells her not to do that again. They continue down the street when Sebastian spots two figures stalking them. They're a pair of marauders, possibly the ones who attacked the Prescotts. They run down an alley and surprise-attack the bandits. Sebastian sinks his axe into the older one's chest and Sarah gets ready to murder the younger one, before being stopped by Sebastian who tells her he's only a kid. The 15-year-old begs them to not let his father turn. They let the boy escape. (Part 7: Huntress)
September 7th Day 50
  • Sarah recaps the previous day's events. She is concerned for herself, not thinking she'd be capable of murder. And that boy would be dead if it weren't for Sebastian, he was probably just following his dad's orders, like the Brill children. (Part 7: Huntress)
September 10th Day 53
  • Philip leaves the apartment to check on Penny for the third night in a row. This time, he returns with her on a chain and attaches her to a pipe in the laundry room with blankets set up so she doesn't hurt herself. Brian sleeps next door and can hear everything. (Rise of the Governor)
September 12th Day 55
  • Throughout the week, Brian realizes how things work in Woodbury. He finds out that a group of National Guardsmen came in several weeks ago and started taking control, bossing people around and stealing food from families. Their leader, "Major" Gene Gavin, takes advantage of women at gunpoint behind the racetrack. Brian hears about the town doctor, Stevens. Stevens takes a look at Brian's wounds from Philip. He tells him he will be fine and will heal up. Brian offers to pay, but is declined, as his services are free. Stevens tells Brian he should get out of Woodbury as fast as he can, as they lose more residents every day and whole town is destined to fall. Nick tells Brian that Philip is doing something with a bucket now. Philip enters the laundry room and feeds Penny a human hand. Nick is disgusted and leaves. Brian feels sad and asks him about it. Philip tells him the man was already dead and going to be burned behind the clinic. Brian pukes and convinces Nick not to leave. (Rise of the Governor)
September 13th Day 56
  • Sarah broadcasts over the radio while Sebastian is out on a supply run. Earlier, they messed around with an old Polaroid camera and she saw a playful side of Sebastian she hasn't seen before. She talks about how, after her parents died, her Voodoo Mambo grandma convinced her she could talk to them from the afterlife. Sarah tried it and heard nothing, becoming an atheist after that. While out on a supply run, Sebastian runs into the marauder group, lead by the teen boy they ran into last week. Sebastian single-handedly kills all the bandits, including the kid, but is wounded in the process. Sarah realizes Sebastian has been standing in the doorway and asks him what he's doing before he collapses from his injuries. (Part 8: The Calm)
  • Sarah accidentally triggers a hidden room to be revealed by the stairs. She resists her curiosity and brings Sebastian into a room to heal. While he rests, she broadcasts again, finally attempting to fulfil her promise of revealing the secrets of the LaRouche house. She discovers the legendary room where Quentin LaRouche tortured his slave victims. She finds a dummy made of straw, which appears to have been dressed up to look like Quentin, wearing an old confederate uniform. She speculates that the Brill family might have used this to brainwash their kids into murder. She finds a photograph of the Brill twins, about the age of ten on Halloween, the boy is dressed as a firefighter. On the back it reads, 'Jane and Sebastian'. Sarah freaks out and realizes that Sebastian is really the Brill son living out his firefighter childhood fantasy. Another picture, one of both Sarah and Sebastian taken from the Polaroid camera, has Jane's face stuck over Sarah's. Sebastian starts to come downstairs. Sarah panics and begs anyone listening to please save her. Sebastian is glad Sarah finally knows the truth. He explains that he spent nineteen years in a psychiatric ward. One day, he sensed that his sister was in danger. He escaped and tracked down Jane, who he discovered had taken her own life. He then returned to the only place that made sense to him, the LaRouche house, where he discovered that his sister has returned. Sarah explains that she's not his sister. He tells her she can learn to be. Sarah quickly stabs Sebastian in the stomach with a knife and rushes upstairs as he pulls it out. She goes through the hidden room in the kitchen as he drives his axe into the wall next to her. She reaches the second floor and the raging storm breaks through the windows and starts to flood the house. The staircase starts to collapse and Sebastian hangs onto a railing as the floods break in below him. A walker emerges out the water and grabs him by the neck. He fights but is bitten on the arm and gives up. He tells Sarah that he'll see her again someday, before he is washed away. Sarah gathers any supplies she can and rests for a few hours in the attic. (Part 9: Revelations)
  • After the storm passes, Sarah explains everything that's happened to her listeners on the radio. She finds a boat washed up by the side of the house with a severed limb laying at the bottom of the boat, potentially being that of Sebastian in an amputation attempt to save his own life, and leaves in search of the community in the 9th ward lead by the 'strong woman' Krista talked about. The batteries on her radio start to die. She makes her last transmission to the world before continuing her journey without an audience. Somehow, she loses her radio and it is eventually discovered by the tourist somewhere in New Orleans. (Part 10: The Flood)
  • Around 5:00 PM, Brian hears car sounds and the occasional cheering coming from the racetrack. He tells Nick he's going to take a walk and leaves. He finds Gene Gavin and two of his men - Greely and Johnson - outside the racetrack. Gavin asks Brian for $40 before he can enter. Brian is outraged and the guardsmen taunt him. He asks if they keep it and Gavin responds by pointing his pistol to Brian's temple. He then sticks it in Brian's mouth and tells him to leave. Brian wanders off, shocked. (Rise of the Governor)
  • Two hours later, Nick returns to the apartment mumbling Bible verses. He grabs a pistol grip shotgun and loads shells. Brian asks what's wrong and follows with his .38, so Nick explains that he saw Philip dragging a girl outside of town either to rape her, or kill her and feed her to Penny, or both. They find Philip, and Nick raises his shotgun. Brian tries to talk him down, but Philip tells him that Nick doesn't have the guts to do it and carries on dragging the girl. Nick says one last prayer and shoots Philip through the shoulder and out the neck, accidentally taking off the girl's scalp. Nick falls to his knees. Without even realizing it, Brian shoots Nick in the head out of pure rage and cradles his dying brother. A dozen biters go for the corpses as Brian waits out the feeding on top of a truck cab. Once the corpses have been devoured to the bone, Brian leaves and sits in the apartment staring into an empty fish tank all night and day. (Rise of the Governor)
September 15th Day 58
  • At some point, Brian gets up. Dehydrated and hungry, he eats an entire can of peaches in one go. He gets changed and tells Penny he loves her. He goes to a commotion outside the courthouse and asks one of the homeless men what's going on. He tells him they found three bodies completely devoured in the woods yesterday. Brian considers leaving, but asks himself what Philip would do. (Rise of the Governor)
  • Inside, an old woman asks who the bodies were. Gavin tells her they were just two newcomers and a slut. An old man corrects the Major and tells him Jim Bridges' daughter wasn't a slut. Caesar Martínez defends the elder and is told to sit back down. Stevens asks what Gavin wants from them, to which he screams for their obedience. The town's mechanic, Detroit, gets up to leave and walks to the back of the room, where Gavin shoots him dead, his body landing next to the vending machine where Brian stands. Three more residents get up and run away, Gavin sends Trey Barker and Manning after them and to bring everybody outside into the courthouse. He then begins to monologue about the end times and how he's God's appointed messiah to save this town. Brian ignores all of it and goes into an out-of-body experience where he finds himself walking towards Gavin, getting his attention before unloading his .38 into the back of the Major's head. Martínez tells Brian he should leave before the other guardsmen show up. But Brian insists they outnumber them. Brian introduces himself as Philip Blake. (Rise of the Governor)
  • That same night, a herd of biters break down the wooden fence a mile west of Woodbury's town square. A man is devoured in an alleyway and a young boy is cornered. "Philip" Blake - flanked by Gabe, Bruce and Martínez - saves the kid. Philip hands out weapons to a small militia of thirteen townsfolk and asks for Martínez's SUV. He drives it to the nearby gas station and screams at the herd through a bullhorn, diverting their attention. When the herd surrounds him, he briefly thinks about killing himself before shooting at the fuel pumps. The entire gas station explodes and knocks over the SUV. The residents finish off the stragglers and get the fence back up. Shortly after, Philip returns to the town and is celebrated by the townsfolk. Martínez is looking at the newly appointed leader of Woodbury. (Just Another Day at the Office)

  • Negan shoots a gun for the first time in his life and kills a zombie from across a parking lot. (Here's Negan)
  • That night, the group eat dinner around a campfire. Negan talks too loud and a large swarm of zombies surround them. While fighting them off, he finds out that all of his friends have been killed and uses Paul's baseball bat to finish off the remaining zombies. Once he's done, he throws away the bat and moves on, but he quickly comes back to claim it for himself. (Here's Negan)

Negan freaks out on her and after losing so many people in such a short amount of time, leaves her alone to die on the car park.
October 3rd Day 76
  • Molly finishes having sex with Dr. Logan in exchange for medicine for her diabetic sister.

Molly is disgusted and leaves. (Around Every Corner)
October 4th Day 77
  • Negan is approached in the woods by a man armed with a crossbow who introduces himself as Dwight. Negan shares his food with Dwight in exchange for being allowed to hold the weapon. Dwight brings Negan back to his camp and introduces him to his group. His wife Sherry, Angela, Tory, Martin, Georgie, Tara, John, Rich and Sandra.

October 9th Day 82
  • At 3:47 PM, Logan tells Anna Correa that she's pregnant and will need to abort the pregnancy under Crawford's laws. She refuses and leaves. He gives her a day to think about it. (Around Every Corner)

  • Anna returns to the infirmary with the decision to keep her child and leave Crawford, taking her chances on the outside. When Logan isn't looking, she quickly stabs him in the stomach, killing him. She grabs his gun and runs out the door, where multiple shots are heard. That night, Crawford falls and is overrun by the undead. Oberson is hanged on the bell tower, either at the hands of the town's residents or as an act of suicide. (Around Every Corner)
October 19th Day 92
  • Early in the apocalypse, Douglas Monroe's best friend, Alexander Davidson, tells him about this small community in Alexandria, Virginia, set to run on solar power and stocked with almost a year's worth of food. In D.C., Douglas is with his wife Regina, as well as their son Spencer. They struggle to fight their way out of the city. During their time on the road, Douglas murders two men who needed to be killed. (Issue 70, Issue 76)
    • After three months, the Monroe family arrives at the wall-less Safe-Zone.
    • Using supplies from a nearby abandoned construction site, all the survivors work together under Davidson's leadership construct a wall around the community. During this time is when they lose the most survivors such as Carter, Jessica, Richards and Barnes. Tobin and Olivia join around this time.
October 20th Day 93
  • Kate and Javier García go out at night to find a propane tank which they discover is empty. Javi is attacked by a child zombie, who turns out to be Drew, a friend of Gabe. Kate freezes up, leaving Javi to save himself. Afterwards, they start calling the dead "muertos", meaning "the dead" in Spanish. They return back to the house and decide that it's too dangerous to live there any longer. Kate breaks the news to Gabe about Drew. They convince the kids to leave, so Gabe and Mariana write a note for their father in case he comes looking for them. They pack their supplies into the van and leave early in the morning. (Above The Law)
October 21st Day 94
  • Kate, Javi, Gabe, and Mari pack up their stuff early in the morning. Gabe leaves the note he wrote for David. They get in the van and leave. (Above The Law)
  • After stealing Clementine's hat, Jolene records the survivors as they fortify the Motor Inn. Larry and Mark move a couch outside while Lee and Kenny push a car out the way. Lilly kneels down next to Clementine who's drawing outside the wall. Jolene drops the camcorder as Jake, Bart and Linda from the Save-Lots Bandits approach her. She screams at them for being rapist monsters before the video cuts. (Starved For Help)
October 22nd Day 95
  • Lee and Mark hunt in the woods. They talk about how their rations are getting low and tensions are rising between Kenny, Larry, and Lilly's unfair handling of the food. They hear a scream and run towards the source, regrouping with Kenny. The three of them come across a teacher, David Parker, who's trapped in a modified bear trap. His students, Travis and Ben Paul, try to help him. The group agrees to help but the only way of saving him before a group of walkers arrive is to amputate David's leg. Lee can either cut it off with his fire axe or leave him. (Starved For Help)
    • If Lee cuts it off, David passes out from blood loss. Travis pukes in a bush and the walkers catch him off guard, devouring the kid. The trio take David and Ben to the motel.
    • If Lee doesn't cut off his leg, Travis refuses to let them abandon his teacher and goes for Mark's rifle. Mark accidentally shoots Travis in the gut, so the group and Ben carry him back to the motel while David is abandoned and devoured.
  • They return to the Motel and rush the injured inside. Katjaa takes a look at him and tries to save his life. Clementine takes Ben away from the group as they argue about bringing in more mouths to feed. Annoyed, Lilly makes Lee distribute today's rations so everybody stops treating her like a Nazi. Lee has only four pieces of food for ten hungry survivors. (Starved For Help)
  • Meanwhile, Jolene records the group. David/Travis dies from his injuries and quickly reanimates, grabbing Katjaa from behind. Lee gets it off her and holds it up for Mark/Larry to axe in the head or Carley to shoot if she's alive. The group argues with Ben because he didn't tell them his friend was bitten. Initially confused, Ben tells the group that everybody's infected and will always turn unless their brain is destroyed. The group is stunned. (Starved For Help)
  • Two survivors approach the motel. They introduce themselves as Andrew and Danny St. John, and are looking for gasoline to fuel their generator-powered electric fence. They offer food and safety to the group in exchange for gas. The survivors agree to trade. Lee, Mark, Ben and Carley/Doug follow the brothers to their farm. On the way, they come across two bandits arguing in the woods. One shoots the other in the head. The group soon arrive at St. John's Dairy Farm and are greeted by their mother Brenda, who gives them a basket of freshly baked bread. They agree to bring everybody back to the farm, so Carley/Doug and Ben leave with the food. (Starved For Help)
  • Lee and Mark patrol the farm's perimeter and move any corpses off the unpowered electric fence. While on the other side, the electricity turns back on and the men are ambushed by the bandits. Mark is shot in the shoulder with an arrow and they escape. Back at the farm, the St. Johns and motel survivors are outraged. Brenda takes Mark into the house to heal and prepare a large dinner. (Starved For Help)
  • Lee and Danny go out searching for the bandits' camp. They find a small, seemingly abandoned one and search it for supplies. Lee discovers Clem's missing hat in one of the tents, but the pair are held up by Jolene wielding a crossbow. She threatens the two and is about to reveal information about the St. Johns to Lee, when either Lee or Danny shoots her in the head. (Starved For Help)
  • They return to the farm and Lee returns Clem's hat while Katjaa looks after Maybelle, the pregnant cow. A paranoid Kenny wants Lee to help find out what's behind a locked door in the barn. Lee sabotages the electric fence's generator to distract Andy and give them enough time to look inside. Lee disassembles the lock with a multi-tool when the bell rings for dinner. Kenny takes the kids to the house whilst Lee opens the door to find blood smeared everywhere, with altered bear traps and sharp tools. Andy approaches and tells Lee it's dinner time. After questioning, he tells Lee that this is where they skin the animals they catch. They both leave and join the others. (Starved For Help)
  • Everybody settles down in the house for dinner. Lee excuses himself to the bathroom, but quietly sneaks upstairs to find Mark. He moves a wardrobe and finds a hidden room with Mark on the floor missing both legs and hooked up to morphine. Mark painfully urges Lee to not eat dinner, so Lee rushes downstairs - either just in time or too late - to stop Clem from eating human meat. The group asks what's going on and Lee reveals that they're eating human flesh. Brenda confirms this, and the brothers hold the group hostage, with Andy yanking Clem's hair, enraging Lee. Mark drags himself downstairs pleading for help, and Lee is knocked out by Danny. (Starved For Help)
  • Lee wakes up with Lilly, Larry, Kenny and Clem in a meat locker. Larry pounds on the door, angrily yelling to be let out. The brothers have Katjaa and Duck hostage in the house still. Lee looks for a way out of the room, but Larry's rage causes him to cripple over with a heart attack. He's unresponsive, but Lilly tries to revive him. Kenny believes he's as good as dead and will turn soon, so he begs Lee to help put him down. Lee can either help Lilly try to revive her father, hold her back to let Kenny kill him, or do neither. Either way, Kenny uses a heavy salt lick to crush Larry's head. With Lilly's reluctant permission, Lee loots Larry's body for coins, which he uses to unscrew a grate from the ventilation shaft. Clem is small enough to crawl through and unlocks the door from the other side. Lee and Kenny sneak out together. They sneak up on Danny, who is keeping watch. They hide in a stall when Andy shows up. Lee peeks out and watches Danny before eventually finding a rifle in his face. Lee grabs the gun and Kenny or Lilly will help with the fight. When Danny's foot is caught in a bear trap, Kenny runs to the house to save his family. Lee can either spare Danny or stab the pitchfork into his chest,which Clem will witness. Outside, Ben and Carley/Doug arrive because of the group's absence. (Starved For Help)
  • In the house, Brenda holds Katjaa at gun point. Lee talks her down as she backs up the stairs, unknowingly towards a zombified Mark. Mark bites her on the neck and she lets go of Katjaa. Outside, Andy holds a gun to Duck's head and shoots Kenny in the side. Carley/Doug distracts Andy, so Lee tackles him to the ground and they fight. Lee gets the upper hand and repeatedly punches Andy in the face. After stopping, Andy urges Lee to continue fighting. Lee can either spare Andy, shoot him, or kick him into the electric fence. Regardless, generator breaks down and the farm is overrun by walkers as the group leaves. (Starved For Help)
  • A man takes his son, Adam, out hunting and loses him. After returning, his family abandons their car in the woods to search, but are unsuccessful. The motel survivors find the abandoned station wagon in the forest filled with food and supplies. Regardless of Lee's opinion, they take everything. (Starved For Help)
October 23rd Day 96
  • After losing their son and having their station wagon full of supplies looted by Lee's group, the man's wife, Tess, leaves him with their daughter, Lizzy. He later finds his wife and daughter dead in the road.
October 25th Day 98
  • Negan shaves while Dwight's group stays in a hotel. Sherry flirts with him. They realize the hotel is overrun and are almost surrounded. Negan barks orders to keep the group alive and everybody escapes unharmed. Negan is the last out and bursts through a group of zombies unbitten while the group opens fire. They search for another place to stay and find a house for the night. Dwight complains about not being the leader anymore, but Sherry tells him there never was one. (Here's Negan)
October 26th Day 99
  • Clementine's ninth birthday.
  • The group packs up the house and leaves. They loot a clothes store, as winter is approaching, and Negan finds a black leather jacket. Dwight asks Negan what he was before the apocalypse, so Negan tells him about being a gym teacher and barking orders at kids. Another big group then shows up at the store, so Negan greets them with a smile. Their leader points a gun at him, which Negan doesn't like, but tensions calm down. (Here's Negan)
  • That night, the two groups gather around a campfire. Negan gives his jacket to Amber to keep her warm. The other leader tells Negan that he can "try out the merchandise" if he lets him know, since it's a whole new world so rape's fine. Negan threatens the man which causes him to shove Negan into the surrounding barbed wire, leaving a scar on his left side. Negan quickly grabs his bat and beats the guy around the head with it, startling all the spectators. He continues beating him until his eye pops out. Negan apologizes and goes to calm down by wrapping his bat in the barbed wire while Dwight stops anybody from leaving. Negan explains to the group how so many people died around him early on, but his bat, Lucille, is what has protected him and kept him going. John stands up to Negan and asks how he expects anybody to fall in line after what he just did. Their new leader tells him "Here's Negan!" (Here's Negan)
October 29th Day 102
  • Tyreese is out looking for a gun that a guy left in a car repo office. Tyreese is swarmed by zombies outside and is terrible with the firearm. After it runs out of ammo, he tosses it and finds a hammer, which he uses to kill the remaining zombies. He returns home, and Chris almost stabs him with a fire poker. He tells Chris and Julie that he tossed the gun and a hammer saved his life. Julie tells him they're scared, so Tyreese promises her that he'll never leave her and Chris alone together, which she finds funny. (Tyreese Special)
  • Lee and Kenny go on a supply run in downtown Macon, which has been destroyed, namely by a chopper that crashed into the drugstore. They see a screaming woman in the distance, who has zombies chasing her. Lee either shoots her dead or takes Kenny's advice to leave her to get devoured and buy them more time to loot the pharmacy. While inside the store, walkers break in. Kenny may or may not save Lee, depending on their relationship. They return to the motel, which is riddled with arrows and bullet holes from recent bandit attacks. Kenny brings up leaving in the RV he got working again, which sparks another argument among the group. Lilly reveals that somebody in the group has been stealing their supplies and the number of people she feels she can trust grows smaller every day, before forcing everybody out of her room. Kenny is pissed that he's always being made out to be the villain. (Long Road Ahead)
    • If Carley is alive, she will try to convince Lee to reveal his past as a felon to the group so they hear his side first before Lilly reveals it. Lee can agree to do this and mostly everybody will be understanding, though Kenny's response is determined on his relationship with Lee after killing Larry.
  • Lee talks to Lilly, and she shows him evidence of theft; a broken flashlight she found discarded. Lee agrees to search for clues on who might be stealing from them. Duck, who was eavesdropping, excitedly decides to helps with the mystery, which Lee reluctantly goes along with. Lee finds an X written with pink chalk marked on a wall near where the flashlight was broken, evidenced by the shards of glass. Duck finds pink chalk dust underneath a dumpster, so Lee leaves the perimeter and finds a bag of medicine stashed inside a grate outside the walls. Lee reports his findings back to Lilly, who decides to line everybody up and find out who's responsible. But before she can, the bandits break in and hold the survivors at gunpoint for not receiving their drugs. Lee goes outside and distracts the bandits, while Lilly climbs onto the roof. After Lee gets his attention, Lilly shoots Jake in the head. The survivors scramble for cover while Lee and Carley/Doug finish off the rest. Gary/Drew escapes and signals a large group of bandits to invade the motel. Lee covers the survivors so they can get to safety inside the RV. Katjaa and Duck are attacked by a walker, knocking them over. Katjaa hits her head, but Lee shoots the walker. Kenny rushes his family to safety. Lilly, seeing that the motel is overrun, quickly joins the group. They hastily drive through the barricades and away from Macon. (Long Road Ahead)
  • As dusk comes, Lilly questions the group on who was stealing their supplies. If Doug is alive, she accuses Ben. If Carley is alive, Lilly accuses her and Ben of working together to smuggle the drugs. Kenny crashes into a walker, which gets stuck in the RV's wheels and has to stop the vehicle. Wanting to deal with the matter immediately, Lilly orders everybody outside. She wildly throws the blame onto Ben, as well as Carley if she's alive, demanding a confession, adamant that only they could have done it. Kenny refuses to get involved before he finishes dealing with the trapped walker. If alive, Carley calls Lilly out on her bullshit and calls her a scared little girl. Kenny kills the walker and joins the conversation, only for everybody to be silenced by a gunshot, Lilly either murders Carley in cold blood or goes to shoot Ben only to accidentally kill Doug, who jumps in front of him. Lee pins her against the RV and the group decides what to do with her. Kenny votes to leave her on the side of the road, or Lee can bring her with them, where she is tied up and kept on watch by Ben. Regardless, once they get back on the road, Katjaa calls Lee up to the cabin and reveals that Duck was bitten during the raid. They stick to their plan of heading to the coast and hope that somebody in Savannah has found a cure. Lee has no comfort for Clementine after what she saw, so they talk for a while and eventually fall asleep. (Long Road Ahead)
October 30th Day 103
  • Lee wakes up from a nightmare and Kenny stops the RV in front of a derailed freight train which blocks the road. Lee and Ben explore the train and find a survivor, an older homeless drifter named Chuck, has been living in one of the boxcars recently. Lee finds a few wrenches in the second door compartment of the engine car. When he and Ben search the engine car, they find a dead engineer and discover that the train is still operational. Kenny familiarizes himself with the controls whilst Lee goes to find a pencil to outline the indentations to start the train from a missing page in a notepad. Lee finds the pencil in the RV; if Lilly is still with them, she'll have freed herself of her bonds and will push Lee out of the RV before driving away with it, abandoning the group without a backup vehicle. (Long Road Ahead)
  • Lee figures out how to start the train but the derailed boxcar is still attached. Lee detaches it and discovers its owner has returned. Chuck introduces himself and asks if Lee had stole anything from them, to which he can answer honestly or lie. Chuck has already met the rest of the group and joins them to play his guitar. With the train ready to move, Kenny calls everyone to board and they slowly start making their way down the track towards Savannah. Duck later coughs blood, so Katjaa asks Lee have Kenny stop the train. Kenny refuses and insists that Duck isn't going to die because he's not like the other infected. Lee can fight Kenny, or passively state facts and try to sympathize with Kenny's pain. Either way, Kenny stops the train and the group disembark. (Long Road Ahead)
  • Lee decides who should put Duck down. If he says Katjaa or Kenny should do it, said parent will agree, though their spouse initially protests. If Lee nominates himself, they both appreciate it. Depending on Lee's choice, Duck is taken into the woods by both his parents or just Katjaa. Lee tries to explain to Clem what is going on, when a gunshot interrupts them, followed by Kenny's scream if he joined Katjaa. In the woods, Lee finds that Katjaa has killed herself as Duck sits against a tree, too weak to react to his mother's death. Lee can either take it upon himself to end Duck's suffering, convince Kenny to do it himself, or leave him to turn. (Long Road Ahead)
  • Afterwards, Lee sits down and talks to Clem. She tells him that Chuck said what happened to Duck would happen to her. Lee confronts Chuck about what what he said to Clem, so Chuck clarifies what he meant. He advises Lee that she needs shorter hair, must know how to use a gun, and have a plan when they get to Savannah. Lee accepts Chuck's advice. Lee teaches Clem how to shoot the Glock, practicing on bottles. He cuts her hair short enough so she doesn't get grabbed. Lee gives Chuck a bottle of alcohol and asks Kenny to have some to distract him so Lee can get the map of Savannah. On the way back to Clem, Ben admits to giving the bandits supplies, angering Lee. Afterwards, Lee and Clem look at the map of Savannah to discuss their next moves. Clementine wants to look for her parents, to which Lee either agrees or disagree. (Long Road Ahead)
  • Kenny stops the train in front of a large gas tank hanging off a bridge which they can't drive through. The group's chatter alerts two strangers atop the bridge, who introduce themselves as Christa and Omid. Lee and Clem explore a station nearby. Lee is attacked by two walkers, but he kills them with the wrench. A walker gets up from behind the gate where Clem is and she rushes to get the keys. Lee shoots the walker, and Christa enters skeptical on whether Lee knows what he's doing with Clem. They grab a blowtorch and head back to the train. Lee and Omid then use the blowtorch to cut the tank down. As Lee is dangling Omid over the edge to use the blowtorch, they notice a large herd of walkers approaching the area. They successfully cut the tank down, and they have to jump down to the train. Lee makes it, but Omid injures his leg. Christa goes after him and they make it back to the train. Clem falls asleep. Lee and Kenny are talking when a voice coming from Clem's radio tries to convince her that he has her parents, which shocks Lee and Kenny, as they though the walkie was broken. (Long Road Ahead)
October 31st Day 104
  • The group walks through the streets of Savannah. Kenny believes they can find boats if they reach the river front. The church bell starts ringing, attracting walkers. Lee spots a figure on the rooftops, and then the voice from Clem's walkie warns the group of the incoming walkers. The group try to escape. Ben and Clem get surrounded by walkers, but Ben abandons Clem, so Chuck saves her and tells the group to go as he fights the group of walkers. (Around Every Corner)
  • The group finds a fortified mansion. Kenny tries to find a way in, but the mansion is locked and boarded up. Lee spots a locked dog door, and Omid tells them that they need a collar. Lee finds the grave of the dog and digs it up, getting the collar to opens the dog door. Clem immediately crawls inside to let everyone in, but gets scolded by Lee to ask first. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee searches the entire downstairs. Afterwards, he and Christa ask Clem about the man on the radio. Before Clem can answer, Ben runs down the stairs asking Lee for help in a panic. Lee goes up to the attic and finds Kenny on his knees staring at a starved zombie boy who can barely stand. This reminds Kenny of Duck. Either Lee, Kenny or Christa put down the child. Lee picks up the dead child and buries him in the garden with the dog. While burying the child, Lee notices a mysterious man watching him, and Lee chases him off. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee and Kenny walk to the river front in silence. They hear a church bell ringing further away which draws walkers that Lee and Kenny have to hide from. After they pass, they keep moving to the river front. They find the area deserted and all the boats are capsized. Kenny finds a boat that might be salvageable. Lee comes across a wall of bodies with impaled walkers acting as a warning and wall. Kenny realizes that the boat isn't salvageable. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee finds a quarter to use the telescope to scope out of the area. He sees a figure climbing on rooftops, so Lee and Kenny hide while the stranger goes to a small kiosk to loot. Lee and Kenny decide to ambush the scavenger. Lee is either beaten or overpowers the scavenger. Clem comes to Lee's rescue or yelps not to hurt the scavenger. The scavenger removes her hood and mask, then introduces herself as Molly. She reveals that she was the one ringing the bells, telling them about the town of Crawford. She knows they are not from Crawford, as they have no children. Walkers show up, so Molly almost abandons them, but changes her mind because of Clem. Lee gets separated from the others and goes down into the sewer to get away. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee roams the sewers and comes across an exit that is blocked by walkers eating something. He distracts them by turning a valve that releases water and attracts the walkers. Lee sneaks past but he finds Chuck's body devoured, with an empty revolver. He shot himself in the head before he could turn. Lee tries to escape the sewers by jumping up to a ladder, but fails. However, he knocks a sign off the wall, revealing a hole leading to a morgue filled with supplies. He walks in to find a group of five people, all considerably older than Lee. A man named Vernon points a revolver in Lee's face and asks him who he is. They are convinced he is from Crawford, so Lee either threatens them or acts with kindness. Either way, Vernon agrees to come back and help Omid, leaving Brie, Clive, Boyd, and Joyce. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee and Vernon make it back to the mansion. Molly is raiding the place while Lee returns her ice pick to her. Christa tells Lee that Omid has gotten worse, so they take Vernon up to look at him. Lee can't find Clem anywhere, so he asks Ben and Kenny. Neither knows. Kenny is too busy getting drunk. Lee continues searching for Clem, so he goes outside to look. He finds a hole on the side of the shed and something starts trying to break out of it through the doors. Lee opens the door and finds Clem, who found a completely intact boat. Kenny comes out and drops his bottle in amazement. Although Omid still isn't well, Kenny returns with good news and bad news regarding the boat. The good news is that the boat is sea-worthy. The bad news is that the battery is dead and there is no fuel. They decide that Crawford is the place where they can get all the supplies they need. The group hatches a plan to infiltrate Crawford at night. Molly wants a spot on the boat, while Vernon wants a cut of the medical supplies they'll find. Vernon leaves to tell his group of the plan. Lee decides whether Clem comes along to Crawford or not. (Around Every Corner)
November 1st Day 105
  • Just after midnight, Vernon arrives back at the mansion with Brie, as she knows the layout of the school in Crawford. If Clem stays behind, Lee can choose to give her a gun or tell her to hide if anything happens. Lee, Kenny, Ben, Christa, Molly, Vernon, and Brie - and potentially Clem - head to Crawford. (Around Every Corner)
  • They enter Crawford through a manhole, only to realize Crawford is overrun with walkers. Lee's yell alerts the walkers, so the group to run inside the school and block the door off. They find a classroom to use as their main room and assign everyone tasks. Kenny and Brie look for gas. Christa and Vernon look for medicine. Molly and Lee go find the battery. Ben stays and tries to unlock the armory door. If Clem came along, Lee will let her be in charge of Ben. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee finds Molly at the repair centre beating a walker violently. They use a crank to open the garage door to avoid walkers that spotted them. Lee uses Molly's ice pick to cut a hydraulic hose to bring down the car, but the car falls and sets off the alarm, attracting walkers outside. Lee grabs the battery from the front of the car and puts it in Molly's bag. They climb on top of the truck and escape via the skylight. Molly takes off with the battery to run an errand. (Around Every Corner)
  • Kenny and Brie return with the gas, with a group of walkers right behind them. Lee helps barricade the door with a hatchet, then they return to the classroom. Ben hasn't been able to get into the armory yet, so Kenny goes over to help him. Lee can choose to speak with those in the room. If Lee speaks to Ben, Ben tells Lee about his guilt for keeping the secret about the bandits from Kenny. If Clem comes along, she and Lee can decide to start having one-on-one tuition classes when they find somewhere safe. Lee then goes to help Vernon and Christa, but finds a group of walkers in front of the door, so Lee shoots them. When he opens the door, he is almost shot by Christa. They explain to Lee that the medicine cabinet is locked and they need the combination to get into it. Lee finds a document about a patient named Anna Correa, along with a video tape that could reveal the combination. They watch the tape, but it doesn’t quite show the combination, though Lee recognises the doctor as the zombie that molly beat earlier. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee goes out to find more tapes, returning to the repair centre alley to loot the zombified Dr. Logan, finding a code to his locker and another tape. Lee may use the code on Logan's locker to find another tape. They watch the tape and it reveals the combination, while Christa cries over the footage. Christa and Vernon head back to the classroom while Lee can choose to watch the last tape, which reveals that Molly was a part of Crawford. (Around Every Corner)
  • On the way back to the classroom, Molly returns and scares Lee. If Lee watched the tape, he can confront Molly about it, to which she will tell him about her past and her sister. Ben comes around the corner with a hatchet. When Lee notices it was the hatchet blocking the door, a bunch of walkers barge through the door. Suddenly, Molly gets grabbed by a walker. If Lee shoots it, Molly is saved but if he accidentally shoots Molly or hesitates she is surrounded by walkers and runs away. If Clem is at Crawford, she will shoot the walker for Lee. They all run back to the classroom, and Brie holds the door shut. Ben starts panicking about how it's his fault, and Kenny busts down the armory door. Christa asks what Ben means, so he confesses about giving the bandits supplies, resulting in Katjaa and Duck dying. Kenny lunges at Ben in a fury while Lee and Vernon hold him back. The group decides to vote on whether Ben gets left behind or not, since the boat has a capacity problem. After Kenny calls Ben a piece of shit at the end of his tirade, Christa also votes to leave Ben, as Omid is her priority. Lee can either vote to leave Ben, let him stay, or abstain. If Clementine comes, she will vote to let Ben stay, which prompts Chista to change her mind and abstain. (Around Every Corner)
  • Walkers burst through the glass in the door and devour Brie, prompting everyone flee to the armory. Kenny finds and gives Lee a shotgun to hold the walkers back. When they reach the top of the bell tower, Ben is grabbed by zombified Crawford Oberson hanging by a noose from the bell. Lee shoots the walker and grabs Ben as he hangs over the edge. Ben asks Lee to drop him and save himself. Lee can choose to let him go or pull him up. If Lee drops Ben, he breaks his legs and is eaten alive. (Around Every Corner)
  • They return to the mansion. If Clem stayed and Lee gave her a pistol, there will be a dead walker on the floor that she shot. If Lee told her to run and hide, the walker will be trapped behind a door. If Clem went to Crawford, there is no walker. Vernon and Christa give Omid his medicine. If Ben is alive, Clem will mention that he seems different. If Lee dropped Ben, Clem asks where he is, so Kenny tells her that Lee did what he had to, which upsets her. Vernon pulls Lee aside to ask if he can take in Clem, as he feels the boat plan isn't good for her. Lee can either accept, reject, or think about the offer. If Molly was saved, she says goodbye to Lee, since she is better off on her own and doesn't want to crowd the boat. Clem asks Lee if they will be able to look for her parents, to which Lee can lie and say 'yes' or tell her the truth. Either way, she gets upset and cries. Lee gives her back her walkie as an apology, before falling asleep. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee wakes up to find Clem gone. He searches for her but finds nothing. He goes outside and finds her hat and walkie sitting on the ground. Lee is surprised by a walker hiding under the trash which goes for his arm. Lee kills it, but realizes he has been bitten on the wrist. The others come out of the house looking for him. Lee can either show or hide his bite, before telling them that Clem was abducted, then asks for help to find her. If Lee showed the bite, then Omid and Christa will insist on coming; otherwise, they stay at the mansion, even if Lee pleads with them. Depending on how Lee has treated Kenny during the game, Kenny's reaction will vary. A friendly Kenny will insist he comes with Lee; an unfriendly Kenny will stay to guard the boat; a neutral Kenny must be persuaded with the fact that Clem is the only family Lee has left. If Kenny agrees to come but Ben is alive, Kenny will protest, saying that Ben fucks up whatever he touches. Lee can choose to just take Ben or Kenny, or manage to persuade Kenny to have both their help. Lee can leave with any combination of the group or go on his own. (Around Every Corner)
  • Lee arrives at Vernon's underground morgue, but the place is empty. Suddenly, Clem's voice comes from her radio, but she is cut off by stranger's voice; a man claiming he's not Vernon. (Around Every Corner)
  • Walkers start to break into the hideout. Lee gets an elevator door open using ribcage-spreaders, but passes out from a fever. If Lee has company and hid the bite, they will discover it; regardless, he wakes up on a table with someone about to saw off his arm. If alone, he awakens on the floor, and will consider cutting his arm off himself. Regardless of Lee's company, he can also choose to leave his arm and let the bite fester. Meanwhile, Vernon's group arrive at the mansion to steal the boat. If someone is guarding it, they will rob them at gunpoint and lock them in the shed. If Lee's whole group joined him, Vernon steals it, leaving an apologetic letter. Shortly after this, Vernon is somehow killed before the group can successfully evacuate the boat. (No Time Left)
  • If Lee's arm was cut off, he awakens shortly after; moreover, if someone else came with him, they will have gotten the elevator door fully opened. Lee climbs up a ladder to the hospital roof. Once there, he sees the streets overrun with walkers. Lee finds and grabs a ladder to use it to get to the bell tower so he can draw the herd away. The ladder falls and Lee nearly falls to his death, but he makes the jump. (No Time Left)
  • Lee returns to the mansion to find the doors to the shed open (if everyone left) or whoever stayed behind locked in the shed with the boat missing. If everyone left, there is a note on the door from Vernon's group. If Ben is alive, he tells Kenny to calm down, which makes Kenny mad. Ben and Kenny have an argument when Ben snaps at Kenny, saying that he never found out what happened to his own family. This makes Kenny start to apologize, but walkers break into the garden. They all rush inside the mansion and barricade the doors. An undead Brie breaks through the widow before being killed by Lee or Omid. They take a stance upstairs before fleeing to the attic. Now trapped in the attic, the group talks about what to do next. When Lee and Kenny argue, one of them throws a bust at the wooden wall, which breaks. They find out that the walls are corroded and can be broken through. They take turns trying to break the wall and Kenny goes first. Lee, Omid and Christa talk about Clem and Lee's bite. If Lee hasn't always sided with Kenny, then he forgives Lee. (No Time Left)
  • Omid eventually breaks through into the mansion next door. They go inside and find a couple who committed suicide. There's one bullet left in their pistol. The only way out is through the balcony, so they jump from it to the next building's roof. (No Time Left)
    • If Ben is alive, the balcony collapses after he tries to jump. Omid and Christa keep watch while Kenny and Lee descend a ladder to help him. Ben has been impaled on the fallen balcony and is stuck. When walkers are attracted to Ben's yelping, Kenny tells Lee to get out; he will push Lee and lock him behind the gate if he doesn't leave. The walkers close in, so Kenny uses his last bullet on Ben so he wouldn't suffer. Lee gets back to Omid and Christa and they have to keep moving. Omid, Christa and Lee walk over a precarious wooden bridge connected to the next rooftop, then walk past a hole on one of the roofs which is infested with walkers.
    • If Ben is dead, Kenny is still with the group. After going across the makeshift bridge, Kenny pats Lee on the back, which makes him drop the walkie in the hole. Christa jumps down into the building for it, but walkers come out of the dark. Kenny goes in after her and helps her get out, but he is swarmed by walkers and vanishes. The group moves on, sadly mourning Kenny.
  • The trio reach River Street, where they have to cross the Maccabe sign. Lee can choose to go first or he can send Omid and Christa across. Either way, Lee ends up separated from them when the sign breaks in half. With no other option, Lee can tell Omid and Christa to either find a boat, meet him by the train, or find him when they get down. Lee then climbs down to the infested street and heads towards the Marsh House. With a meat cleaver from the mansion, he fights through the herd of walkers to get to the hotel. (No Time Left)
  • Lee searches the hotel for Clem. He puts his ear to a door and enters. He walks inside the room and a man points a gun at him from behind. He tells Lee to give up everything he has. Lee can either do as he is told or not give up his walkie and cleaver. The two sit down for a talk. The stranger reveals that it was his car that Lee's group raided, before criticizing Lee for his past decisions. He also says that Clem's ninth birthday was six days ago. She sneaks out of the closet and attacks the stranger by punching him or hitting him with a bottle or Lee's cleaver. Lee and the man fight, resulting in Lee strangling him or Clem shooting him. They finally reunite and escape the hotel, when Lee sees a walker which doesn't attack straight away. Lee figures out that, since he's covered in blood from killing zombies on the street, it masked his scent. He guts the zombie and smears its blood on Clem. While walking through the overrun streets, Clem spots her parents, now undead. Lee then passes out. (No Time Left)
  • Lee wakes up in a jewelry store after being taken there by Clem. They try to leave, but the shutter door won't open. Lee says he was bitten, which is why he looks so sickly (if he kept his arm) or only has one arm (if he removed it). His eyes start to turn yellow and he struggles to walk. He slumps down by a radiator and can't get back up. He gives Clem instructions on how to escape. She breaks glass with a baseball bat so she can get into a back room. She finds handcuffs, and Lee may tell her to cuff him. The keys to the exit are on an undead security guard stuck in a chair who attacks her. Clem bludgeons the guard before grabbing the keys and his gun. Lee tells Clem to either shoot him or let him turn. If Lee makes no decision, then Clem will choose what to do herself based on Lee's past choices. They share a teary goodbye. (No Time Left)
November 2nd Day 106
  • Clementine sits alone in an empty field. She spots two figures walking in the distance and thinks about calling out to them. The figures stop and spot her. She is reunited with Omid and Christa. (No Time Left)

November 8th Day 112
  • Lilly's high school friend, Megan Lafferty, tells her that she should apologize to Josh for running. Lilly doesn't know what to say and is convinced he hates her. Megan jokes about Lilly and him sleeping together. This causes an argument, as Megan has been getting high and having sex regularly as a coping mechanism, making the two friends distant. Megan causes a scene and storms off with everybody watching. (The Road to Woodbury)
November 9th Day 113
  • Lilly babysits Chad's girls; Sarah, Ruthie, Mary and Lydia. She tells them to go inside the tent when Donna asks if everything is okay. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • A truck pulls up to the site and everybody gets tense after hearing stories of groups going savage and becoming bandits. Three teenagers with supplies jump out the back, so Lilly approaches them. Former army medic and current alcoholic, Bob Stookey, drives the truck and tells Lilly about the deserted Target they looted. They didn't find any guns or ammo though. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • He tells Lilly that Josh thinks she's mad at him and doesn't know why. Lilly nervously approaches Josh and asks to speak alone. They sit cross legged under a tree and talk about being scared. Josh loves Lilly but doesn't want to mess things up with her. (The Road to Woodbury)

November 12th 		Day 114 to Day 116
  • Three days pass in Tent City without any walker attacks. A few isolated incidents happened here and there, but nobody is in danger. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Hierarchies are made and Chad becomes the de-facto leader. Megan moves from one lover to the next, and hooks up with a husband in plain view of everyone including the man's pregnant wife. Chad keeps a close eye on her, since they used to be together only a matter of days ago behind Donna's back. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Lilly lies in her tent at night thinking about the turn. Harlan Steagal has been discussing the origins of the plague, as well as the behavior and patterns of the walkers, whilst smoking weed and drinking coffee around a campfire with his friends each night. Most of the tents are now set up, with vehicles parked all around the camp. Winter is coming, and a layer of frost sticks to the ground each morning. (The Road to Woodbury)
November 13th Day 117
  • Chad, Josh and many others leave camp to look for firewood. Lilly babysits the Bingham children in the community's circus tent. They play musical chairs with Lilly as the music while Megan and Jerry Hennessey hook up instead of looking after the man's three children. Lilly hears a noise outside and decides to take the children back to their tent. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Outside, the first walker emerges out the woods. They go back inside the circus tent and the girls hide while Lilly arms herself with a shovel. An arm grabs Sarah's ankle from under the tent flap and crawls inside after her. Lilly kills it and the tent flap blows open revealing a dozen walkers. They turn around, but another crawler has made its way in, knocking over the centre pole, collapsing the entire tent. Lilly sees daylight and escorts the girls out. Lydia has been left inside, so Lilly goes back for her. She takes all the girls to a parked car near the access road and safely gets them in. Walkers close in on Sarah, who, in the confusion, runs back towards the collapsed tent and is devoured by the swarm. Lilly bangs her shovel off the perimeter row of vehicle hollers to lead all the walkers away from the car, except the six eating Sarah. After successfully diverting the swarm, Lilly collapses next to a tree and cries. Sixteen survivors are killed in the attack. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Later that afternoon, Lilly is found by a search party. Dick Fenster thinks she might have turned, but they discover she's alive. Chad then goes to attack her for the death of Sarah, but is stopped by Megan, who reminds him that she saved his other three children. He storms off in a rage while another father cries over the loss of his child. (The Road to Woodbury)
November 14th Day 118
  • The whole camp gathers at a burial site in a semi-circle. Josh says a prayer but breaks down into tears and excuses himself. He notices that everybody except Chad and Lilly are present. Chad asked Lilly to talk in private before the burial, so she asks him if he's alright. She tells him that Sarah was an amazing girl and a hero. Chad responds by asking why Lilly didn't do her job and strikes her across the face. He begins to choke her out when Josh tackles him out of nowhere and throws him against a tree. He checks on Lilly before going back to Chad who pleads for mercy and repeatedly slamming his head into the tree before the back of it caves in and Lilly stops him. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Bob tends to Lilly's injuries while Jerry, Simmons, and Alice Burnside are deciding what to do with Josh. Josh shows up and tells them both that he's got three minutes to say goodbye before they force him to leave. Lilly insists she comes with him. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Fifteen minutes later, they have Josh's motorbike loaded up with supplies. Bob arrives with a duffle bag of alcohol and medical supplies, and asks who's going to check on Lilly's injuries before inviting himself to joins the pair. They start loading up Bob's Dodge Ram Pickup when Megan and her newest partner, a stoner named Scott Moon, show up holding hands. Megan asks Lilly if she's still mad at her. Lilly says no and the two stoners ask if they can leave the campsite and join them. Josh reluctantly agrees and they quickly go to grab their own things. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Bob drives, Josh sits in the passenger seat, Megan and Scott are in the back, and Lilly in the rear of the cab. They think it might have been a bad idea to stray too far away from Tent City. Lilly spots several walkers approaching from the trees. Bob spots fifty or so ahead surrounding a school bus and eating the remains of children. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • They reverse and take a crossroad Josh spotted. Megan and Scott are getting high and hysterically laughing about 'girl farts' when a walker climbs into the back of the camper. Scott freaks out and successfully kills his first walker, causing the two to hysterically start laughing. They find an abandoned gas station, which Bob and Josh check out. Megan tells Josh about their walker incident and he congratulates Scott for getting his first kill. Megan and Scott start to make out and plan on having sex. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Josh and Bob find only two walkers inside, so the group moves into the gas station. Megan fakes exhaustion, so Scott decides to 'fix her up a place to sleep'. The humping noises begin before Josh even makes his way back to the office where the others are unpacking. Bob looks at Lilly's wounds and they start discussing the walkers outside, "Camp Bingham" and their plans to stay in the gas station for a while. (The Road to Woodbury)
November 15th Day 119
  • In the morning, the group holds a meeting about what to do long-term, and possibly stealing supplies from Tent City. (The Road to Woodbury)

November 19th Day 123
  • Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma in Harrison Memorial Hospital in Cynthiana, Kentucky. He finds the entire hospital abandoned and a rotten body on the floor. He opens a barricaded cafeteria door and is greeted by an entire room of walking dead, which slowly come after him. Confused and horrified, he falls down the stairs with one of the dead and uses his belt to tie the door shut. He finds a bicycle to ride home with accompanied by an almost completely devoured woman who stares at him. He cries and rides home to find his family isn't there. (Issue 1)
  • Rick is suddenly hit over the head with a shovel by a young boy. The boy's father is surprised to find another living person, so they bring him into their home. After Rick wakes up, the father introduces himself and his son as Morgan and Duane Jones. He fills Rick in on the last four months. Rick decides to go and find his family in Atlanta, but he first takes the Jones' to his police department to grab some weapons. He takes a duffle bag of rifles and pistols with him along with a police car. They come across a zombie outside but don't shoot it to save ammo. They bid each other farewell and go their separate ways. Rick stops off by the bicycle girl and puts her down. (Issue 1)
November 20th Day 124
  • Rick's car runs out of gas near Atlanta. He stops off at a house to ask for fuel and finds the entire family dead in a religious suicide pact. He pukes outside and finds the family's horse still living in the barn along with a hatchet. Rick rides the horse to the city and talks about his son's birth along the way. Rick finds the highways empty and continues deeper into the city, where more and more zombies follow him until he's completely surrounded. The horse is torn apart and devoured while Rick shoots at the dead. (Issue 2)
  • Rick runs towards an alley and is grabbed by a survivor named Glenn, who helps him up a ladder and onto the roof. They jump across rooftops, and Glenn tells Rick about the cities falling. They make it out of the city and arrive at Glenn's camp, where several survivors arrived at Atlanta too late to get in. (Issue 2)
  • Rick is reunited with Lori, Carl, and his best friend Shane. Shane introduces Rick to Dale, Jim, Carol, Sophia, Amy, Andrea, Donna, Allen, Ben, and Billy. That night, Rick and Lori catch up by the campfire while Shane stays on watch. Glenn takes over halfway through the night. (Issue 2), (Issue 3)
November 21st Day 125
  • Rick wakes up and has a shower in Dale's camper. Dale warns him about Shane's advances on Lori, which he ignores. That day, Lori, Donna and Carol wash the laundry in a nearby lake. Meanwhile, Shane takes Rick out hunting, and they soon come across a zombie eating a deer which ignores them. Meanwhile, another zombie approaches the women; Donna freezes, but Dale beheads it before she's killed. Its severed head is still snapping, so they shoot it, which alerts Rick and Shane. (Issue 3)
  • Elodie and Colette are still living in Kentucky after heading north. They've been living without their father, Dominic, for a while. They run into a group of people who protect them from the dead, but expect the girls to perform sexual favors in return. Colette refuses, so the group rape and murder her. Elodie doesn't refuse, and later murders the entire group in their sleep, an action which haunts her.
  • At night, Rick talks with Shane about moving the camp because it's too dangerous this close to the city. Shane is convinced the government will find them quicker when they start fixing this mess if they're nearby. Rick argues that it's also getting colder, but agrees to stay as long as they're equipped with more guns. (Issue 4)
November 22nd Day 126
  • Before Glenn goes out on a supply run, Rick asks him about gun stores. They ask Jim, who gives them directions to Pleasant and 38th Street. Lori and Carl beg Rick not to go, but he insists he'll be fine. Glenn tells Rick about how Jim escaped Atlanta and they realize that the gun store is way further into the city than he's explored before. Rick had an idea and takes Glenn to the zombie they killed yesterday. They cover themselves in its blood and guts to mask their smell and blend in with the dead. They get into the city and the plan works. (Issue 4)
  • Further in, they discover abandoned tanks and undead military personnel near the gun store. After breaking in, they quickly fill a shopping cart with guns and ammo. The dead start to realize they're different when a thunderstorm washes off their smell. The cart crashes and Rick is bit on the shoulder while fighting off the zombies. Glenn gathers what he can and they escape. Rick checks himself for a bite and is thankful that his thick jacket protected him. (Issue 4)

November 25th Day 129
November 27th Day 131
  • Bob finally notices the thumping noises coming from Megan and Scott's room whilst drunk. He looks through a hole in the wall and develops a secret crush on Megan. Lilly catches him watching. Later on, Lilly and Josh go hunting in the woods through the snow and talk about what happened to Josh's mom. Josh breaks down and is kissed by Lilly. He returns the affection but reminds her this place isn't safe. Several deer emerge from the trees, followed by about twenty walkers from the Coal Brother's Family Circus. They escape with a juvenile deer, which they take back to the gas station. (The Road to Woodbury)
November 28th Day 132
  • At 4:43 AM, Josh wakes up and sees a large fire in the distance. He and the others gather in the gas station's doorway as they hear car engines roaring over the hill in the distance. A Cadillac Deville comes speeding over the hill towards them and doesn't stop. They jump out of the way as another vehicle follows, spinning out of control. The first car takes out the gas station's front window and the front part of the roof. The second vehicle crashes into an empty fuel pump and catches fire. They see a walker rise up in the vehicle's back window. The group abandons their supplies in the wrecked gas station and head north in Bob's car. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • They find Tent City burned to the ground and a massive herd of walkers emerging from the trees. They drive straight through the herd and go back the way they came. A few walkers hold onto the car and Bob kills them. They get away and sit in silence for a while. Bob thinks about going back to look for survivors and supplies, but they deem it too risky. They realize they are in the middle of nowhere and decide to head south to avoid populated areas and keep the cold behind them. Bob mentions that their gas meter is on E, so they decide to spend the night in the car. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • In the morning, they find a car and siphon some gas. At noon, they head west and spend the night under a train trestle. They start to argue about finding somewhere to stay, sleeping arrangements, snoring and generally get on each other's nerves. They stay there for almost a week. Thanksgiving comes and goes without a mention. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 3rd Day 137
  • In the morning, Bob goes off to fish by a creak he found. Josh and Lilly discuss their concern for him. Bob returns having not found the creek but instead a Walmart, which he takes them to. Inside the Walmart, a headless body with the name tag "Elmer K" lies on the floor. They decide that the shop is safe, and Lilly asks if they can clean it up to stay in. Some of the higher shelves still have many supplies so the group loots them. Bob finds some more alcohol and takes what he can from the pharmacy. They also find a Desert Eagle, which Bob claims. Josh hears something at the front of the store, so they hide. All of their supplies are in the car along with Megan. Bob and Scott flank one way and Josh and Lilly go the other behind the pharmacy counter. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Six heavily armed men enter with Megan taken hostage. Bob jumps up and tells them to let her go, which results in Josh and Lilly pointing their guns at the men. The leader tries to calm them down and orders Haynes to let Megan go. The leader insists he didn't know how many people they were dealing with and orders his group to lower their weapons. He introduces himself as Martínez. After talking for a bit, Martínez offers the group to come and live in their walled-off community, Woodbury, which has food and beds. The group takes a moment to discuss this by the checkouts. Megan doesn't like the idea of it, but Josh doesn't see any harm in checking the place out. They agree to go. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Bob's car follows behind Martínez's truck. They make two stops on their way to town. It starts snowing heavily and is almost dark. Martínez asks them to hand over their weapons, which they aren't willing to do. He allows them to keep them out of sight and joins them in Bob's car. They drive past a ruined Piggly Wiggly, and Martínez mentions that they had a rough skirmish with some biters a few weeks back. They drive deeper into town and find a lot of residents looking shell-shocked and not too friendly. Bob likes the setup they have and asks about the big field in the middle of the town. Martínez says it used to be a dirt racetrack, which their leader banned due to noise. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • They pull up in the town square next to a courthouse and wait for five minutes in a warm meeting room, before they hear heavy footsteps coming towards them. Three men wait by the doorway with suspicious smiles. The man in the middle introduces himself as Philip Blake, and his bodyguards as Bruce and Gabe. Josh's group introduce themselves, and Philip explains their barter system and flirts with Megan. Scott jokes about how Philip looks like the president with his secret service men. Philip says he prefers "the Governor". They spend the night in a school gymnasium outside the walls with a bunch of strangers. Lilly can't sleep and comforts Josh after he wakes up from a nightmare. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 4th Day 138
  • The group gathers around Josh's cot and agree that the town gives off weird vibes. However, it's better than sleeping in Bob's car. They agree to watch each other's backs, carry a gun at all times, and know where the car is parked, just in case. They split up to explore Woodbury. Lilly and Josh go to get breakfast. Residents keep to themselves and nobody offers a greeting as they pass through the entrance to the town. They pass three old men sitting around a barrel outside the Feed & Seed store. Josh greets them and one of the men asks if they're new. Josh says they got in last night, and the old men laugh at an inside joke. The man tells Josh to keep an eye on his woman, so Josh takes Lilly's hand. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Inside the store, a man in a wheelchair named Davy sits at the counter with two armed guards at his side. Josh tells him they found some supplies at the Walmart with Martínez and if they could have some of those. Davy tells him that's between them and Martínez. The three men begin to stare at Lilly. Josh offers a $300 watch, but Davy only offers $50 worth of rations, so Josh asks for more. Sam "the Butcher" enters and asks what the problem is. Davy tells him that the two were just leaving. Sam advises Josh that he should work to get food. He then looks at Lilly and implies that she should sell her body. Lilly is struck with fear. Josh stays calm and accepts Davy's $50 offer before taking their leave. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Outside, they hear the scream of a teenager stuck in the fence and covered with bite wounds. Philip Blake euthanizes the boy with no emotion. Lilly and Josh move into a new apartment above a drugstore outside the walls. Megan and Scott have already moved their stuff inside and traded their sleeping bags for weed. Bob has traded some Walmart rations for alcohol. Josh decides they should work for some supplies, and then leave at the end of the week. He won't let anything happen to Lilly. They start to kiss and have sex in Bob's camper with the back end open, oblivious to everything but each other. They lie there for a while, unaware that someone's watching. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 5th Day 139
  • Josh trades one of his best chef knives for soap and a bed roll. He convinces Lilly to move into the apartment by the dry-cleaners. Lilly stays in all day planning her escape. Scott and Megan are nowhere to be found. Lilly suspects Megan has grown bored of Scott and become a prostitute for weed. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Bob stumbles into the infirmary beneath the racetrack and is given a tour by Dr. Stevens and his assistant, Alice Warren. They tell Bob about the town and where they're from. Stevens prescribes Bob to stay as drunk as possible in order to cope with the town. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Philip notices Bob outside and starts talking with him. Bob spots the bloody bag Philip is carrying but states it's none of his business. They discuss Bob's time in Afghanistan and his wife, Brenda. Philip takes a liking to Bob, who reminds him of his father, and invites him to his apartment to drink. Philip shows Bob his "daughter", Penny, who is chained up in the apartment. He feeds the biter the head of the kid he shot the other day and tells Bob his story. He talks about how his brother, Brian, went crazy with guilt after getting Penny killed, so Philip had to put him down like a dog. He almost gets bit and lets Bob feed Penny a finger. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 6th Day 140
  • Scott and Philip travel to the local Walmart to gather fish tanks. Scott thanks Philip for letting him, Megan and the others stay in Woodbury. Philip quickly gets tired of him, but warns him about an approaching biter, which Scott quickly turns around and shoots. (The Governor Special)
  • They return to Philip's apartment and carefully set up the tanks like a wall of television sets. Scott hears a noise in the other room and jokes about him having a girl back there. Philip tells him it's something like that. Scott asks what the tanks will be used for, to which Philip explains that he is going to fill them with human heads and make himself stare at them until he's numb to the horrors of the world, starting with Scott's. He then murders Scott and begins his collection. (The Governor Special)
  • Josh and Lilly hardly see Bob, Megan or Scott anymore. Megan is sometimes stoned at night in the street but nobody has seen Scott, or even seems to care. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 9th Day 143
  • Diane Stinnot is devoured by walkers two weeks after leaving her home, leaving Timothy broken. (Alone, Together)
December 11th Day 145
  • Josh gets a Saturday job on the construction crew to feed himself and Lilly. Martínez tells him to get another load of wood before lunch, but he accidentally leaves his lumber coat and snub-nosed police special hanging on a fence. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Lilly comes up behind him as he arrives at the warehouse. He hugs her and wonders if he's coming on too strong. Lilly desperately wants to get away from Woodbury. The couple hears gunfire and three walkers burst in. Josh realizes he left his gun in his coat and manages to kill one, before Martínez orders them both to get on the floor from outside. They get down as bullets erupt out of the wall and kill the remaining walkers. He asks if they're alright, before he and his men rush back to the town. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Back in Woodbury, a fight breaks out between Dean Gorman and Johnny Pruitt, after Johnny insulted the Augusta state football team outside the food centre. The twenty spectators start to cheer it on due to the town's lack of entertainment. Dean kicks the leg out from under Johnny and gains the upper hand until Johnny kicks him in the groin. Johnny then gets on top of Dean and starts repeatedly punching him in the face. The crowd goes wild. Martínez is about to break up the fight, but Philip stops him. Philip starts looking at the spectators, observing every excited face. Johnny starts to choke out Dean, so Philip allows Martínez to break it up. One of the guards goes to get Stevens. Philip tells Martínez that he has an idea for what to do with the National Guardsmen. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Meanwhile, the four remaining National Guardsmen whisper to each other in a makeshift holding cell below the racetrack. Manning tells Trey Barker that his plan to escape wont work, but Stinson reluctantly agrees to play dead so Barker can tackle Philip when he comes in from the immediate left of the door, where he is chained to the wall. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Philip tells Bob about the soldiers and his plan to make them gladiators in the arena. He opens the cell door and sees Stinson supposedly dead on the floor. He is about to shoot him when Barker tackles Blake. Philip falls to the floor and drops his pistol. Barker claws and bites his ankles whilst the other three guardsmen try to break free. Philip manages to grab the pistol and shoots Barker several times in the head. The others plead for their lives and Philip spares them. He asks Bob to clean up the place and bring Barker's body to the infirmary. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 12th Day 146
  • At night, Megan has sex with a guard whose name she forgot. It's either Denny or Daniel, and the state of the apartment is disgusting. She thinks about Lilly and how she ended their friendship the other day because Lilly disapproved of her choices. The guy finishes and immediately falls asleep. Megan gets up and looks out the window, seeing her former best friend and Josh sneaking out of the town. She cries. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Josh and Lilly sneak out to look for their own supplies. They pass a summerhouse with a mailbox that reads L. Hunt. They go inside some of the houses and find a treasure trove of supplies. Lilly says they could live here, but Josh isn't sure yet. Neither of them realise that most of the backyards lead to a steep canyon filled with a herd of walkers, one hundred strong who are starting to slowly climb up the slope. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 13th Day 147
  • Lilly and Josh sit and talk in one of the houses. Lilly feels like she's been using Josh for protection and doesn't truly share the same feelings as he does. She decides to tell him how she really feels, but Josh doesn't understand. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • The walkers overrun the backyard, but neither of them notice. They continue talking for a while until Josh sees the herd's reflection in a family photo. They get up to escape, but more come in from the entrance. They head up a spiral staircase, which the walkers manage to clumsily climb on their hands and knees. Thinking fast, Josh goes into the bathroom and grabs a bottle of rubbing alcohol. They go into one of the bedrooms, which has an oak tree branch close to the window. Josh douses the room in the liquid and helps Lilly climb out onto the tree. He uses his lighter to set the room ablaze, burning the walkers and spreading throughout the house. They climb down from the tree and grab their duffel bag of supplies from the garage. They walk back to Woodbury without saying a word. Eventually, Josh brings the topic back up and gets angry. He swings open the gate to Woodbury without being desecrate and they argue some more past the food centre. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Sam calls out to Josh and asks him what's in the bag. Josh won't tell him anything specific. Sam informs him that he hasn't covered his debt yet, although Josh has been working for 48 hours. Sam tries to snatch the bag off Josh, and people start looking. Sam offers to wipe the debt clean if Josh gives him the bag, but Josh refuses and walks away. Sam goes for the duffel again, but Josh shoves him over and continues walking. The Butcher pulls a pistol out of his back pocket and shoots Josh in the back of the head. Lilly breaks down and cradles Josh's head in her arms while screaming for a doctor. As Josh's brain shuts down, he tells his sister, Alicia, to close the window, before dying. Sam drags Lilly away from the body and points his gun to her head. She kicks him in the groin and claws at his face. Sam raises the gun when Martínez and his men arrive. Martínez pounces on Sam and they wrestle with his carbine. Sam slams Martínez into the front of the food centre, knocking over the old men's barrel. Martínez then throws Sam through the front of the store window and delivers several hard punches to his face, knocking him unconscious. The crowd roars for Martínez, when Philip arrives and asks to know what happened. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Shortly after, Bob comforts Lilly and tells her Josh felt no pain. Stevens and Alice inspect Lilly's wounds, and are introduced by Bob. Stevens tells Lilly that, if she ever needs someone to talk to, she can come to them in the infirmary. Bob gently says they need to move the body. He gets no response, so they signal two of his tavern friends with a stretcher. Lilly screams at them to get away. Philip says they can move the body later, tells Gabe to throw Sam in a cell with the guardsmen, and tells Bruce to take everyone to the square for a town hall meeting. In a gazebo, he announces that the racetrack will be their new "Greek Theatre", and if anyone breaks the new law, they're going to fight in the arena, no exceptions. The crowd cheers. Lilly lets Bob take away Josh's body. Bob takes Lilly back home and organizes burial arrangements with Stevens. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Later, Bob stumbles into the arena, where the town has gathered in the stalls, and watches through a chain-link fence. Sam the Butcher stands in the field, semi-nude wielding a wooden bat sporting nails. He fights against Stinson in soaked camo pants with a machete. Sam gets the upper hand and punctures Stinson's left pectoral and cheek. Bob feels sick and drinks some whiskey until he can look back. Stinson is down and stops moving. Sam faces the crowd, soaking in the cheers and applause. Stinson makes a comeback and quickly sinks the machete into Sam's neck, almost decapitating him. The crowd goes wild. Lilly cries on the spot of the murder and is approached by Stevens. They start talking and take a walk around town. They discuss the Governor and various dictators throughout history, and how Philip Blake is a necessary evil for the town, like some sort of side effect of the plague. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 14th Day 148
  • Lilly, Bob, Stevens, Alice, Megan and Calvin Deets - one of Josh's work friends - attend his funeral. Lilly tries to say a few words, but breaks down into tears. Bob finishes by saying the Trinity and ending with an Amen. Megan wants to say something to Lilly but can't bring herself to, and lets Bob escort her home. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Alice asks Stevens if he can smell the herd of over fifty biters attracted to the sound of the arena fight. Stevens assures her that Martínez and his men are keeping track of it and setting up defenses. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Bob stays with Lilly for a while, he makes her food and tucks her in to bed. Half asleep, Lilly asks him why he won't leave Woodbury with her and tells him that the Governor has a grip on him which he denies. Somebody knocks the door, Lilly tries to stay awake long enough to see who it is. Philip enters and tells Lilly she's had a long day before she drifts off to sleep. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • The Governor and Bob head towards Martínez on Main Street as the heard arrives. They reach the wall and Philip tells Travis to drive his truck up against it and await further orders. Philip orders Martínez not to open fire immediately. He barks at Stevens through a walkie-talkie to bring Stinson to the north wall. Stevens objects because the guardsman is still recovering from blood loss, but reluctantly complies anyway. The guards open the gate and Travis backs the truck through it with Stinson now inside. Stinson is devoured by the approaching herd of walkers and around three dozen are collected inside the vehicle. The remaining biters are shot by Martínez's crew. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 15th

December 23rd 		Day 149 to Day 157
  • Christmas doesn't get much celebration. Martínez decorates a tree in the courthouse and puts tinsel on the gazebo in the square, but that's pretty much it. The Governor plays Christmas music through the PA system in the arena, but it's more of an annoyance than anything. (The Road to Woodbury)
December 20th Day 154
  • Three weeks after acquiring firearms from Atlanta, Rick and Shane teach the camp how to use them during target practice. Andrea is surprisingly good at it compared to everybody else, and becomes the best shot in the group. Rick lets Carl shoot with the others, to Lori's disapproval, and gives him his own pistol for protection. However, he makes sure that it's immediately taken off him if he ever gets it out with no danger present. They head back to the camp, which Allen has been guarding. (Issue 5)
December 22nd Day 156
  • Rick, Shane and Dale collect firewood for dinner that night. Rick brings up how it's getting colder. Shane gets annoyed at this, telling Rick to give it a rest, because they're not going to move the camp. (Issue 5)
  • That night, everybody gathers around the campfire to eat. They all talk about what they did before the outbreak and how they found their way here. Dale explains how his wife had died in a campsite after the plague hit. He found Amy and Andrea on his way to Atlanta and gave them a ride. Amy was a physical education major and Andrea was a clerk in a law firm. Glenn was a pizza delivery boy in Macon, swimming in debt. He would rather go back to that than live in the apocalypse. Allen was a shoe salesman also in debt. Jim was a mechanic. Carol's husband was a failed car salesman who killed himself after he saw his parents die. Carol and Sophia went to Atlanta to live with her sister, but they never got into the city. (Issue 5)
  • Amy goes to the bathroom. On the way out, she spots a zombie dangerously close and then backs up into another, which bites a chunk out of her neck. Everyone springs into action to defend the camp. Andrea cradles her dead sister and shoots her without hesitation so she doesn't reanimate. Lori almost gets attacked, when Carl saves her by shooting the zombie with his handgun. Jim repeatedly beats on a zombie that apparently killed his family. When the chaos dies down, the group find out he was bitten. (Issue 5)

He feels freezing but his forehead is burning up. He tells Donna he must be lucky because he's never seen anyone last longer than a day after getting bitten. Allen thanks her for looking after him. She's worried because his condition has worsened. (Issue 6)
  • Rick, Shane and Carl go hunting. Shane is in a bad mood due to the deaths and tells Carl to be quiet. He shoots a rabbit and Rick praises him for the shot. Carl innocently tells his father that they're not going to need as much food because Amy is dead and Jim is too sick to eat. Shane freaks out on Rick again and tells him the deaths aren't his fault. They get into an argument over moving the camp, causing Carl run away crying. Rick goes after him. (Issue 6)
  • Morgan Jones chops up some firewood and returns back to his house. Duane complains that his comics are getting boring because he rereads them so much. Morgan surprises him with a Christmas present, they don't know if it is exactly Christmas because they aren't sure the calendar is accurate. Morgan gifts Duane a Gameboy, some games and batteries. He talks about how they should probably stop worrying so much about not paying for supplies, as it's been almost five months since the plague started and they haven't seen anyone alive since Rick Grimes came through. No military or government or anyone. Yet stealing still gets to him. Duane isn't listening. Morgan wishes his son a Merry Christmas. (Morgan Special)
  • Jim tells Donna his final wish to be left outside Atlanta to turn. It's the only way he feels he could be reunited with his family again. The group escorts him to the outskirts of the city against a tree and say their goodbyes. (Issue 6)
December 24th Day 158
  • In the morning, Shane asks Rick if he wants to go out hunting. Carl asks if he can come, but Rick tells him that he and Shane need to talk about something. Shane tries to play dumb, but Rick tells him he knows. In retaliation, Shane immediately punches Rick in the face in front of everyone. Lori rushes over and scratches Shane on the cheek. She calls him a lunatic and Shane runs into the woods in tears. (Issue 6)
  • Rick goes after Shane to calm him down, but Shane pulls his gun on him. He rambles on about how he has nobody left in the world except Lori, and Rick coming back has ruined any chances he had with her. Before Shane can pull the trigger, he is shot through the neck by Carl. He chokes on his own blood and collapses into the snow. Carl tells his father that it's not the same as shooting the dead ones, Rick embraces him and says it never should be. It takes the group several hours to bury Shane. A funeral is held and Lori spits on his grave. (Issue 7)
  • Later, Dale tells Rick that he's the leader they need, and they all agree that the camp's not safe anymore this close to the city. They agree to pack up the camp and leave in the morning. According to Andrea's calendar, Christmas is tomorrow, though Rick wants to skip it this year so the kids don't get upset. (Issue 7)
  • Lilly visits Stevens and Alice in the infirmary, where they all celebrate Christmas together. Later, Martínez shows up. After a few drinks, he starts talking about how he's scared the Governor will lead the town off a cliff. The four of them all bond.

The figures reveal themselves to be survivors. Tyreese and his daughter, Julie, along with her boyfriend, Chris. They were crossing a field when Julie saw the RV's headlights. Rick welcomes them into the group and gives them some food. Rick offers them a place to sleep in the RV, but Tyreese decides to stay in the abandoned car for the night to be careful. Lori tells Rick not to be so trusting of strangers. (Issue 7)
December 26th Day 160
  • Rick and Tyreese get to know each other in the morning. Tyreese believes the world has changed him and tells Rick that he accidentally killed a kind old man who suddenly tried to rape his daughter. He's ashamed that he feels no guilt for it. Rick tells him about how Shane tried to kill him not a couple days ago, and that the world is changing people. Two roamers approach, and Rick explains that they've started calling them "roamers" and "lurkers". They take them out, and Tyreese shows good skill with his hammer. (Issue 7)
  • The group makes it 20 miles away from Atlanta when they run into more car wrecks. At night, they gather around a campfire and get to know Tyreese's group a little better. Tyreese and Carol start flirting. Lori walks off into the dark and Rick follows. He asks if she's okay, to which she reveals she's pregnant. Rick and Lori return to the group and announce that they're going to have a baby. Everybody's more concerned than happy due to the lack of doctors and hospitals. Dale tries to talk to Rick about the baby possibly being Shane's, but he's aware and doesn't want to think about it. (Issue 7, Issue 8)
December 27th Day 161
  • The survivors look for a place to stay and find a burned down mansion which would have been perfect. While siphoning fuel, Dale gets scared by a frozen roamer. They continue on and find a gated community called Wiltshire Estates. They enter, amazed and figure they could all live here safe and undisturbed in their own homes. They decide to stay the night in the same house to stay safe. (Issue 8)
  • Rick and Tyreese search for roamers while the rest of the group shelters in the first room. Rick finds a basement and is attacked by two roamers. Before Glenn and Dale can fire a shot, Tyreese quickly tackles one to the floor and Rick deals with the other. They clear out the basement and then drag the bodies outside, where Tyreese explains his old jobs as a pro football player and bouncer. The house is full of supplies and clear of the dead, so they spread out into different rooms to sleep. (Issue 8)
  • Donna goes around the house at night handing out spare blankets. She gives three to Tyreese to give to Carol, Sophia and Glenn. When she approaches Andrea and Dale's room, she finds them having sex and leaves them alone. She tells Allen that she's happy for them despite disapproving. Meanwhile, the snow begins to melt outside, revealing a sign which reads "ALL DEAD DO NOT ENTER". (Issue 8)
December 28th Day 162
  • In the morning, Rick announces that they're going to be splitting into two groups to search the surrounding houses for supplies and clear them out to live in.

January 3rd 		Day 163 to Day 168
  • The group worries about Allen and slowly runs out of food. They raid stores but find nothing and have to resort to hunting. (Issue 9)
December 31st Day 165
  • On New Years Eve, Philip locks himself in his apartment and celebrates alone with Penny and an expensive French champagne. He feeds Penny a human kidney and pops the champagne. He doesn't know if it actually is New Years but it may as well be. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • He remembers looking forward to New Years for months in the old days. He and his friends would get a whole pig delivered on the 30th and start slow-roasting it behind his parents' place. They'd have a two-day feast and play the Clinch Mountain Boys all night and Philip would smoke good weed and get laid. He then stops himself and realizes he can't remember if Philip used to do this or Brian. He takes a sip from the bottle and reassures himself that he's Philip Blake "the Governor", but then breaks down. Brian cries for Penny's death and sees Philip's death scene behind his eyes. He hears a knock at his door and snaps out of it. Philip opens it expecting one of his henchmen, but finds Megan instead. She asks if he'd like some company, so he invites her inside for a drink. She tells him Duane said she could find some weed here and proposes a trade. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Later that night, the pair have sex and Philip shows almost no emotion in the act. While painfully riding him in his La-Z-Boy recliner, Megan's peripheral attention is drawn to the two-dozen rectangular objects lined up on the wall behind her, which she almost mistakes for TV sets, before she notices the bubbling sound. Annoyed, Philip turns on a battery-operated camp lantern and reveals the aquariums filled with severed heads. Megan slips off him in shock and lies in terror on the floor. Philip angrily tells her that he hasn't finished and forces himself onto her as she stares in horror at the zombified faces. As he finishes, she realizes the face staring back at her in the last tank on the left is that of her old boyfriend, Scott. Philip orders her to clean herself up in the bathroom and tells her that she's in a relationship with Bob now. And if she says anything about this, he'll put her head in the tank next to Scott. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Megan leaves and Philip sits there for a while staring at the tanks, feeling empty. Suddenly, Brian surfaces from within him and he starts to feel sick and terrified about what he's just done. He roars vomit up onto the floor and wants to run away from the twitching heads, but forces himself to stare at them and be strong. (The Road to Woodbury)
  • Megan goes to Bob's apartment on the west side of town and breaks down crying. She tells him she found Scott dead in the Governor's place, to which Bob asks what she was doing there. He gets her a glass of water and puts her to bed. They sleep together, but don't come remotely close to having sex, much to Bob's relief. He does dream, however, about doing the act on a desert island and feels a sense of peace wash over him. (The Road to Woodbury)

January 1st Day 166
  • Bob wakes up in the morning to a scream from outside and realizes Megan isn't lying next to him.

She goes over to Bob who informs her that Megan committed suicide. (The Road to Woodbury)

She washes off her left arm whilst Alice gathers her equipment. Alice finishes checking on Rick. His pulse is still faint but better than before, and his temperature is up. All good signs. Alice comes to check on him every ten minutes. (Issue 45)
  • Dale tells Andrea that Rick is doing alright. He reminds her of when they talked about leaving in the RV a while back. He believes the time is now, and they should escape with their lives and leave the prison for Woodbury. Andrea is against leaving their friends behind, but Dale insists it's only if they refuse to come with them. She thinks about it. (Issue 45)
  • Tyreese panics about Rick. Michonne tells him that they're missing their opportunity to attack Woodbury. He tells her that he knows it's a good idea, but they just don't have the manpower to pull it off. Michonne tells him it can be just the two of them, so he thinks about it for a moment. Glenn asks Michonne and Tyreese if they want him to gas up a car for them. Michonne says it will draw noise and get them killed. She and Tyreese leave the prison by foot, dressed in riot gear. Michonne hopes that the Governor hasn't left snipers or guards around to watch them. (Issue 45)
  • At 6:17 PM, nobody notices two figures - a man and a woman - sneak out of the prison and slip into the treeline. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Dale tries to convince Lori and Carl to leave the prison with them. She insists on staying with Rick, but Dale tells her that Hershel, Billy, Axel and Patricia wanted to stay behind and can watch him. Lori refuses to leave, so Dale decides to take Sophia at least. (Issue 45)
  • Dale, Andrea, Billy, Ben and Sophia are about to leave the prison just to avoid the conflict. Glenn and Maggie join them, as they want to start a family. Glenn gets their things, whilst Maggie says goodbye to her father and brother. When they leave, Hershel believes that he just saw Maggie for the last time. They place the grenade crates behind a row of cars. Hershel reassures the group that they've got God on their side to win. (Issue 45)
  • Raymond gathers his group: James Steagal, Gloria Pyne, Daniel and Eric get ready to move out and scout the prison. Gabe joins them. Ray thinks he hears something, so they decide to go back and find a ridge that overlooks the prison. James tells the group that he needs to pee and will catch up. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • James goes into a clearing and starts to relieve himself, but Michonne and Tyreese find him. Michonne decapitates him. Ray wanders down and spots the two as they're trying to hide the body. Tyreese tackles Ray to the ground, causing Ray to hit his head on a rock and fall unconscious for a moment. Gabe finds Ray on the floor and the man named Tyreese struggling to his feet. Gabe grabs Michonne and starts trying to run away, but she stops him and they jump down to a ditch. The group loses track of them and searches for an endless minute, occasionally hearing sounds around them and fearing that biters are drawing near. Suddenly, Michonne jumps up, and Gabe dodges the sword by a centimeter, realizing that they were throwing stones to distract them. Gunfire erupts, and Eric is killed in the chaos. Tyreese is wounded and Michonne escapes, leaving her katana. (Issue 45, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Gabe orders the party to keep the man alive, before going after Michonne. He realizes he can't catch up to her, so he aims his laser site and fires off a dozen successive shots, all missing her. She vanishes into the trees. Outraged, Gabe kills a biter then gets an idea. (Issue 45, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Meanwhile, Lori tells Carl about how Rick would stand up for his younger brother Jeff from bullies in school because that's the kind of guy he is. She begins to cry, but is stopped by Rick, who has now woken up. Alice gives Rick a pair of crutches, and they go to look at the defenses that have been set up. Alice tells Rick that Dale, Andrea, Glenn, Maggie and the three kids have left in the RV, and that Michonne and Tyreese went out to attack the Woodbury army. Rick loses confidence and no longer believes they can do this with the absence of so many. (Issue 45)
  • Gabe approaches the Governor, with Ray and Daniel carrying a beaten and injured Tyreese, and Gloria behind them with a load of weapons on her back. He explains how they were attacked, and that Eric and James were killed. Gabe goes on to inform the Governor that Michonne ran away, so he "blew her fucking brains out". The Governor goes on to question him and make sure she's dead. Gabe calls over Gloria, who hands him Michonne's sword. Gabe gives it to Philip as a trophy and apologizes for her death not being as slow and painful as he would have liked. (Issue 45, Issue 46, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • They load up the Woodbury cargo truck they stole with food and other supplies just in case things turn south and they have to evacuate. (Issue 46)
  • Rick wants to move some prison buses from the garage to the guard towers for cover on the ground. He tells Alice that he feels less lightheaded and can get rid of the crutches. She protests, as he could risk infection if he busts his stitches. Rick and Carl gather canned food and store it in a backpack in case they can't reach the truck in time. Rick tells Carl that, if they're separated, he'll try to find him and Lori. He then returns Carl's gun back to him, now he may need it. Carl asks if he's scared. Rick tells him he's worried but not scared, and convinced they can get through this. (Issue 46)
  • The Governor joyfully talks with Tyreese in the back of a cargo vehicle, trying to provoke and anger him. He refers to Tyreese as 'homie' until the man angrily tells him his name. The Governor tells him that he doesn't want to have to torture or hurt him, and just wants information. Tyreese says 'have at it', so Philip slaps him across the face, which sends his head slamming into the wall. Tyreese starts to insult Philip until he begins to ask questions. Philip asks if there are any weak spots in the prison, Tyreese tells him that it's a fucking prison, so no. He asks how many people are living there, which Tyreese refuses to answer. He's about to hit him again when Lilly knocks on the truck's door frame. Philip invites her in to see what the animals they're against are like. Philip leans in close to the man and tells Lilly that he's 'nice enough'. Tyreese head-butts him, which sends the Governor onto the floor. Lilly draws her gun and tells Tyreese to sit back down, which he reluctantly does. He says something inaudible. Philip asks him to repeat it, so he reads out a Bible quote from Revelation. He tells them that that's what all this is, and they'll kill themselves with their own weapons, before Lilly flips out on him and points her gun to his head. Philip calms her down and sends her out the truck to sleep. He grabs a baseball bat, closes the rear hatch, and repeats to himself "I got this". He turns to Tyreese and smiles. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
June 14th Day 331
  • Alice goes to find Axel to check on his arm, but walks in on him and Patricia having sex. She comes back later. (Issue 46)
  • Hershel and Billy try on the riot gear suits. Hershel makes Billy have to wear it all day every day from now on for his own protection in the guard tower. Billy asks his dad if he's been praying. Hershel tells him he has like he's never prayed before and he's put in a good word for Billy. Billy tells him that he's scared and starts to cry. They embrace. (Issue 46)
  • Axel eats breakfast when Alice comes back to check on his arm. He apologizes for her having to see him and Patricia like that, because he wasn't going to turn anything down. Then, he asks Alice if they're going to get through this. She regrets not leaving with Dale and Andrea. Axel doesn't, because the prison is his home and there's nothing out there for him. (Issue 46)
  • Nobody gets much sleep that night, least of all Gabe, who tosses and turns, worrying about how much he has lied since the turn. His latest lie about Michonne really worries him. What if the Governor finds out she's alive and still out there? Should he just bail on this whole prison situation? He dreams about her sneaking up on him and gutting him with the katana from the stomach up. He wakes up with a gasp and finds the Governor knocking on his cargo truck's door. Gabe gets dressed and Philip tells him to give him a hand with the guy. They go out in one of the cargo trucks with the beaten man in the back, tied up. Nobody sees them about to leave except for Lilly, who stops them and asks to come with them. Philip tells her to hold down the fort and that they're going to try and negotiate with the prison group, using the man as a bargaining chip. Lilly sees Michonne's katana at the Governor's hip and dreads what might happen. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick looks after Judith whilst Lori sleeps. (Issue 46)
  • Billy fires off a shot and calls out that a truck's approaching. They all rush outside and find a cargo truck pulling up to the gate. The Governor and Gabe arrive at the prison. Gabe fires a few shots out the window, killing biters. They then quickly reverse towards the prison gates. They hop out. Philip opens the back of the cargo truck and pulls a sheet off of the beaten, shirtless body of Tyreese, which shocks the prison survivors who are watching. (Issue 46, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Philip pulls out Michonne's katana and lies about having her captive too, so if he dies, she will die. He orders them to open the gate and come back with them, or he does something horrible to Tyreese. Tyreese tells them not to let him in, and is hit on the back of the head by Philip. Getting no response, Philip angrily slams the sword down on Tyreese's neck, getting stuck. He yanks it out and drives it in again. Rick tells the group that there's nothing they can do, and maybe Michonne can escape this time. Philip finally decapitates Tyreese and kicks his head off the truck. They leave his body for the walkers when Billy starts firing off shots at them, barely missing Philip. They speed off to safety. (Issue 46, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick tells Lori about Tyreese's death. She is outraged and in tears about how Rick did nothing to stop it. (Issue 46)
  • Carl eats breakfast and asks Axel why everyone's upset. He tells Carl to ask Rick. Rick tells Carl about Tyreese's death. Carl isn't upset because he knew he would die eventually. Rick gives Carl the bag of canned food to look after, not to run with if things go south. He tells Carl to stay with his mother. (Issue 46)
  • Philip and Gabe return. Ray asks how it went, but Philip lies that it didn't work because the crazy bastards shot their own man so they couldn't use him against them. This shocks and baffles the eleven onlookers. Philip tells them that they're going to kill them all immediately and orders them to load up into the trucks. (Issue 46)
  • Nobody moves, Gabe freezes. Michonne holds Philip at gunpoint from behind. Gabe tells her she's surrounded, but she knows and has already planned for that. He tries to shoot her, but hits her armored shoulder. In return, she shoots Philip, but the bullet skims past his cheek. He falls to the ground and, in the confusion, she kills a soldier and fires off a spray of shots with her AK-47. Gabe climbs on top of Philip to act as a human shield, everyone darts for cover. When the shooting stops, Michonne has vanished. Philip scolds Gabe about her not being dead. Philip orders Gabe to get everyone ready to take down these assholes once and for all. (Issue 46, Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick checks on everyone outside. Billy alerts everyone that Woodbury's come back. They all get ready. (Issue 47)
  • Lilly and Austin prepare for the second assault. Austin is scared and unprepared, and he looks vulnerable to Lilly. They climb in their truck and drive four soldiers to the prison. As they arrive, Lilly notices that hundreds of walkers have gathered to the noise of the conflict over the past 36 hours, and now both sides are fucked. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The vehicles come to a screeching halt and the soldiers jump out to open fire on the swarm of walkers in front of the fence. The prison survivors quickly open fire, which catches everyone by surprise. Lilly and Austin jump out of their truck and hide under it for cover, shooting biters' legs and then their heads when they fall. Gabe asks the Governor how this will be any different than last time, and he tells him that there are fewer of them now, so "shut the fuck up". Lilly quickly runs out of rifle ammo. A biter crawls under the truck with Lilly and goes for her ankle. She can't shoot it, so she kicks and squirms to get it off. Austin comes to her rescue and kills the biter before she can get bitten. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick tells everyone that they're prepared, as they scramble behind the cars for cover. Axel is shot directly in the forehead and falls on top of Rick. Patricia cradles his limp body in tears. They start shooting the soldiers from under the cars, killing a few. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Billy looks in the grenade crate from in the guard tower, and throws a grenade down to the soldiers. The Governor and Gabe spot the tiny object coming towards them and get confused for a second. The grenade bounces off a Buick sedan and then explodes, throwing the car into the air and sending pieces flying. This kills Charlie Banes, Rudy Warburton, Teddy Grainger, Bart, Daniel, and Don Horgan. The blast sends Philip and Gabe flying back. Philip grabs Gabe and drags him behind the tank. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick tells Billy to throw more grenades, but he can't hear him. Hershel tells Rick that they could throw them back. Rick believes that they might make it through this. (Issue 47)
  • Gabe yells at the Governor for them to regroup, which gets them into a short fight. Gabe apologizes and will try to do anything to please his abusive father figure. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Nobody sees a busted up RV drive in from the west. Andrea returns and snipes Gabe in the back of the head, right in front of the Governor from atop the RV. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The Governor hides and orders Wes Strunk to drive a truck into Andrea, which he does. Andrea kills him in the process, but the car still crashes into the side of the RV, sending her flying off and setting the thing alight. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The Governor celebrates, which makes Lilly and some of the soldiers believe that he has finally lost it. Two soldiers die in front of him, and he doesn't care, because he believes they've almost won. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Lilly and several other soldiers tell the Governor that they can't go on, and too many of them are being killed. At first, he can't hear them. However, when he does, he gets angry at the thought of giving up; he climbs up the tank and tells Jared to "just drive!" and the tank begins to move forward, mowing over any remaining biters in its path. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Then, it crashes over the prison's outer fence. The inhabitants inside scramble for cover as the tank goes over the second and third fence. The remaining members of the Woodbury militia storm inside the prison. One soldier leads the group and orders the prison survivors to be put out of their misery. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Austin helps Lilly up, and they join the others inside. Rick tells the others to get to the truck while he goes to find Lori, Carl, Judith and Alice. Hershel tells Billy to get down from the guard tower. (Issue 47, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick runs inside the prison and calls out for his family. He goes to his cell and finds Alice holding a shotgun to Lori's head. He begs Alice not to kill Lori, but she tells him that it was all an act so they could escape, Lori being Alice's prisoner. Lori tells Carl to come out from under the bed, and they all hug. They try to escape and Rick takes Carl's bag of supplies so Carl isn't slowed down. (Issue 47)
  • The Governor approaches three men shooting at Hershel, Billy and Patricia. He orders Tom to go and check inside the prison for anyone hiding, and then kill them. Tom obliges and takes a group with him. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Patricia tries to convince Hershel and Billy to make a run for it. Philip pulls out his Tec-9 and shoots Patricia in the back of the head, which paralyses Billy. Hershel grabs Billy's arm and they start to run for the truck. Billy takes a direct shot to the head and goes limp. Hershel stops to help him up before realizing his last surviving son is dead, breaking down into tears, oblivious to the danger around him. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The Woodbury soldiers stop shooting. Philip approaches one named Smitty and asks him what the problem is. He is ashamed that he just killed a boy and starts to cry. Philip tells him he should be proud because of how many that kid killed himself. Smitty gets himself together and moves on. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Lilly and Austin notice walkers breaching the fence, but are too occupied with the prison survivors to pay much attention. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick and his family sneak outside the prison with Alice. Rick spots Hershel on his knees beside Billy's body. He calls out for him to go, but Hershel tells him to leave him there. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The Governor points out where they are, so Rick gets Lori and Carl to run, but Lilly notices them running away and heads towards them. Alice tells them she'll join them in a second, and starts wildly firing off shots from behind the door. The soldiers open fire on her and a bullet takes out her knee, sending her to the ground. She fires one last shot, killing a soldier right next to the Governor, before he kicks her gun out her hand. Lilly approaches, and the two former friends stare at each other for a second. Alice spits at Lilly and closes her eyes. Philip points his Tec-9 to her head and pulls the trigger. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The Governor orders Lilly to open fire on the Grimes family. She doesn't hear him at first, but does when he repeats himself. Rick tells Carl to slow down, as Lori can't keep up. She spots Rick's wife falling behind, carrying a package, or bomb, or gun. She sets her as a priority and pulls the trigger without hesitation. Her back explodes from the shot and she cripples to the ground, falling on top of the object. Lilly stares through the scope of her rifle and realizes she just murdered a mother and her newborn baby. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick stops for a moment, paralyzed. He continues on in tears and tells his son to keep running. He redirects him away from their truck and towards a gap in the fence, where the first biters are starting to come through. They narrowly escape the prison. The Governor orders everyone to stop shooting at them because the biters will get them for sure. He approaches the group in disbelief that nobody has killed Hershel yet. Red tells him that he surrendered. Hershel begs the Governor to kill him. Philip points his Tec-9 to his head and waits for a moment before executing Hershel. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Lilly approaches Lori's body in tears. Austin doesn't know what to do and just aims at the approaching biters. Philip asks her what her problem is, to which she calls him a monster. Furious, he asks her to repeat herself. She screams at him to look at what he made her do. For the first time, the Governor sees the consequences of his actions. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Austin raises his gun, not knowing who to shoot. Lilly slams the butt of her rifle into his face, sending him to the floor, and wedges the barrel deep into his throat. She stands there for an endless moment. Hap Abernathy tells her not to do it, whilst Austin tries to convince her that this isn't the way. Some of the soldiers beg her not to kill him. Biters approach and get dangerously close, knocking Austin over. The group gets themselves together and the Governor hits Lilly to the ground with her own gun. Clint Mansell is devoured. The Governor panics, telling the group that they can rebuild the fences whilst yelling at the voice in his head to shut up. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Lilly begins to run towards Austin and the others before turning around, raising her pistol and shooting the Governor in the back of the head, blowing his one eye out. He remains semi-concision and lets out a garbled scream. The voice of Brian Blake tells him one last time that Philip Blake has been dead this whole time. Lilly kicks him into the approaching herd of biters, who devour him and tear into his face. She takes control of the group and leads them away, towards the inside of the prison. Austin is attacked by two walkers; he kills one, but the other is only grazed by the bullet. Lilly comes to his rescue and kills the walker. (Issue 48, The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The prison is overrun by walkers. Rick and Carl make it a safe distance away from the prison. Carl asks where his mom and sister are. Rick stops him from running back, and they hug as walkers approach them. (Issue 48)
  • The seven surviving Woodbury soldiers - Lilly, Austin, Hap, Gloria, Matthew Hennesey, Speed Wilkins and Ben Buchholz - barricade themselves inside a room in the prison. They all start panicking, stressing about how they're going to escape. Austin bellows at Hap to shut up in an odd, out-of-character shout. Lilly tells them that they should all wait out the swarm, at least until they find an opening; in the morning, they'll reassess the situation. Nobody likes the plan, but they know it's for the best. Nobody questions the elephant in the room, which is that Lilly just killed their former leader moments earlier. They all start to look towards Lilly as their new leader. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Michonne returns to the ruined prison and stabs Tyreese's reanimated head, putting him to rest. She wanders over to the destroyed RV and decapitates the reanimated Woodbury soldier who crashed his car into the RV. She checks inside and finds nobody. Outside, she follows footprints leading away from the prison into the woods. She follows them, looking to kill anyone she doesn't know. (Issue 49)
  • Rick and Carl rest in the woods. Rick asks Carl to open a can, as he can't do it himself. Carl isn't hungry, but opens it for Rick anyway. They decide to get moving and find some shelter for the night. Rick stands up and gets a severe cramp in his stomach from busting his stitches after running from the prison. They scavenge in a shop, looking for mostly water. Carl finds some 'crappy' cereal. Rick is attacked by a roamer, but he hits it in the head with his hatchet. The axe doesn't damage the brain, so he brings it outside to kill easier. Carl shoots it before Rick can silently kill it. They stay alert just in case a swarm arrives from the sound, but only one roamer is drawn, which Rick shoots. (Issue 49)
  • That night, the remaining Woodbury soldiers try to rest in their own little corners of the prison's intake room. Lilly and Austin rest on a tarp on the floor behind the glass-fronted receiving counter. They don't say anything, just hold each other. Lilly looks around the room and notices things that don't make sense, such as the lump under Austin's sleeve. She checks the lump and finds his wrist bandaged with a blue bandanna and underneath, the telltale puncture wounds of a walker bite. She slips into denial and asks if he cut himself on the fence, but he tells her he got bit. She starts to frantically search the room for something to ease the infection, despite it having already visibly spread. The noise wakes Gloria up and she asks what's going on, but she realizes that Austin is bit. Hap and Ben join her. Austin hugs Lilly and tells her it's too late. The whole group has gathered outside the glass now, and Lilly yells at them to go away. She tells him that she wants to do something drastic. He stops her and tells her that it's already too far along for amputation. She gives up and tells him that she can't lose him, maybe he won't turn. A guy in Macon got his finger chewed off and he never turned. Austin doesn't want to dwell on it and tells her that he knows she's going to live for a long time. He tells her to go and grab a flask he saw because, if there's a God, then there will be liquor left in it. They talk most of the night about anything but Austin's bite. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick and Carl find shelter in a house and settle down in the living room. Rick starts sweating and goes into the bathroom to check his stitches. He discovers that he has caught an infection from busting them, so he takes some medicine to fight it. He returns to Carl, and they decide it's best to sleep downstairs. Carl goes on to talk about how he misses his mom, when he turns around and finds that Rick has passed out on the floor. He starts panicking and almost shoots Rick after he makes a groaning noise similar to that of a roamer. He cries next to his father and sleeps there for the night. (Issue 49, Issue 50)
June 15th Day 332
  • Early in the morning, they wake up. Austin looks terrible. Lilly notices how quiet it is and decides to take a group out to check the hallways. Austin insists he comes with her, and she takes Ben and Matthew along too. They discover the remains of the three soldiers the Governor sent to explore the prison, completely devoured to the point of no reanimation. Austin is attacked by another walker and almost shoots it, before Ben stops him. He slams its head into the wall repeatedly until Ben stabs it with one of his knives. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Lilly pauses and picks something up off the ground. It comes from a little girl's cell, decorated with toys and books with the name 'Sophia' hung on a small banner of letters. Lilly cradles a teddy bear and plays a music box. They hear the footsteps of walkers shuffling around not far away and get worried. Austin comes up with an idea and tells Lilly that she's going to live a long life and have loads of babies. She tears up and asks him what he means. He takes them back to the room so they can discuss the plan. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Lilly and the other five Woodbury soldiers wait for Austin to fire off his first gunshot. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Half an hour ago Lilly and Austin argued over his insane plan, eventually he broke down into tears and insisted that he has to do it because he's always been a coward and will never be able to redeem himself for it. Lilly is the only girl he has ever loved. Now, they wait until he fires off the first shot. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Once Austin fires the first shot, Lilly starts counting up to two minutes, bracing herself for when they have to go out. Austin takes out a few walkers and pushes his way through a cluster of them by the fence. When he gets outside, a biter clamps onto his ankle in the tall grass. He can't shake it off and knows that this isn't about killing them, but luring them away. He powers on, blood oozing out of his leg. He makes it quite far with the 300 or so walkers following him north. He lures them away from the vehicles outside the prison whilst thinking about the last thing Lilly said to him. "I will never stop living with you". He screams at the biters to come and eat him. Alas, he gets far enough away that his mission is complete. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The six Woodbury soldiers sneak out of the prison onto the exercise yard. Lilly can't see Austin anywhere. There aren't many walkers left roaming, and Matthew dispatches a handful of them as they get to the fence. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • They reach Lilly's truck with the door still open and keys in the ignition. Gloria kills a biter and pulls it out the passenger side. The four men climb in the back and Lilly notices a gory feeding frenzy in her peripheral vision off to the north. She tells everyone not to look. The truck pulls off and drives away onto the highway just as a few walkers begin to notice. Lilly keeps telling herself not to look, but accidentally spots the frenzy in the side mirror. Gloria is shocked and ashamed at what they let happen to Austin. They drive back in silence. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Less than ten minutes from Woodbury, Gloria convinces Lilly to talk to her, and she tells Gloria about how she and Austin were going to have a baby. Lilly ends the sentence appreciating how Austin saved them. Gloria starts to tell Lilly how they're all thankful for her part too and her leadership, when they spot black smoke in the distance. Woodbury is burning. The 20 or so Woodbury residents led by David and Barbara Stern try to fend off the 50-ish biters that are attacking the south side of the town. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • The men in the back of the cargo truck are getting ready to jump out with their guns ready. Lilly orders them to stay put so they can quickly think up a plan before the fires spread further. Lilly instructs Hap to drive the truck and asks the others how their singing voices are. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Barbara Stern runs around the corner of Main and Mill with a chemical fire extinguisher, feeling incredibly guilty for all this happening. All of a sudden, she hears human singing and sees a truck idling outside the town. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • David stands by the railway office with a bow and arrow. Barbara excitedly yells at David to look. He eventually does, seeing three men on the back of the cargo truck, horribly screaming country rock tunes with Lilly behind them. The burning walkers follow the sound of the returning warriors outside of Woodbury. As the truck is slowly driving along, it hits a bump, which makes Speed fall off the back and land next to a dozen biters. He rolls away into three more whilst nobody but the Sterns from behind the water tower realize what's happening. Lilly leaps from the truck, picks up Speed's Bushmaster rifle, and throws it to him whilst shooting the first two walkers. Speed catches the rifle and kills the last walker. The others in the truck spring into action and unload the remainder of their ammo into the following swarm. Lilly rips a piece of her shirt off and sticks it into the truck's fuel tank. The others run for the barricade and Lilly lights the rag, honks on the horn a few times, drops the lit rag and runs to the others as the truck explodes, obliterating the biters. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Carl wakes up next to Rick, who is still unconscious. He checks Rick's temperature and cools his forehead like his mother used to do. He starts to cry again and furiously curses at Rick to wake up. This grabs the attention of two walkers outside, who start tapping on the window. Carl sneaks outside around the back of the house and lures the walkers away. He goes around a corner and tries to sneak into another house, when a third roamer attacks him from behind. He falls to the floor and kills the first roamer, followed by the second, who both land on top of him. The third takes two shots and makes him vomit. He looks upon his work and smiles with pride. Carl returns and tells Rick about what he did. He doesn't believe he needs his father to protect him anymore, as he can look after himself better than anyone could; and Rick couldn't protect Lori, Judith, Alice, Tyreese, Donna, or anyone. He thinks he will be fine if Rick dies and tells him to just do it before slumping down and falling back to sleep. (Issue 50)
  • By dusk, Lilly secures the town. The wounded are taken to the infirmary and alleys are cleared of lurkers. Lilly makes a quick announcement in the town square, everyone should take a quick break and then meet in the community room in the courthouse in an hour. The 25 residents of Woodbury - not counting Speed, Matthew or Bob - gather in the courthouse and listen to what Lilly has to say. She gently tells them everything. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Bob walks past outside and lingers for a while. Lilly already briefly told him everything and he knows that he'll support her throughout this. Lilly, however, doesn't know about Philip's final request or the secret inhabitant of his apartment room. He watches the faces of some of the residents. They ask questions and show signs of hope for a better future. He takes his box of parts up to the Governor's apartment. Lilly gently tells everyone that they've gotten used to living under a dictatorship. She asks to be the leader of Woodbury, with the permission and support of the town. Half the room's hands shoot up, the Sterns' the highest of all. The others look around and raise theirs too until the whole room is in support of Woodbury's new leader. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • That night, sleep comes hard. Lilly wakes up in the middle of the night several times to pee and notices Austin's belongings scattered throughout the apartment. She packs them away and has a good long cry before going back to bed. She comes up with a nice idea for something they should do in the morning. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Rick briefly wakes up and resembles a roamer to Carl. Carl points his gun at Rick, but then realizes he can't be alone, and begs Rick to just eat him. Rick isn't dead and slurs Carl's name, telling Carl that he's sick and warning him to stay safe. Carl cradles Rick's head in his lap and tells him he's scared. (Issue 50)
June 16th Day 333
  • Lilly wakes up in the morning feeling refreshed. She arrives at the diner where most of the elderly residents are already settled. They greet her and she feels like people are relieved that the Governor's tyranny is over. Lilly tells them her idea. An hour later, everyone gathers at the racetrack. Lilly reads off the names of everyone they have lost over the last few months, with short moments of silence between each. She invites everyone down into the field and they commence the final part of their ritual. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Everyone helps to dismantle all evidence of the arena fights, where people at one time would beat each other to near death. A group of the younger men go down below the racetrack to kill the captive biters. They clean up the halls, remove blood stains and collect scattered weapons. People start to lighten up, they talk to each other in positive tones, some even crack jokes. People almost seem happy. Almost. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Lilly goes home and runs into Bob, who is carrying a bloody sack across town. Concerned, Lilly stops him and questions him. He tells her it's not human, just the carcass of a rabbit he found. He tells Lilly that he made a promise to look after what was once Philip's daughter. Lilly asks him to show her. Bob introduces Lilly to Penny Blake. Lilly goes cold and feels saddened and empathetic for the creature and Philip Blake, who lost everything. She tells Bob what needs to be done. Bob stays whilst Lilly finds a clean bed sheet. She drops the sheet over the biter's head whilst she's feeding and holds the thing as it squirms. Bob sings an old Christian hymn to the girl and it relaxes under the sheet. Lilly stabs her in her head with an ice pick, and the girl finally rests. Bob goes to tell everyone and prepares burial arrangements. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • Lilly stays to finish one last task. She grabs a shotgun and puts down all the reanimated heads of the Governor's victims in the fish tanks: Christina, Mike, Scott, Martinez, and many others. Water floods the room. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • A funeral is held for the little girl none of them ever met when she was alive. Her resting place is outside the walls under a large oak tree, away from any damage or walker attacks. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
  • A late 1990's Ford LTD comes down the road. Parents pull out weapons and everyone braces themselves for anything. Lilly can tell that the people are harmless and tells everyone to lower their weapons until they're in any immediate danger. The station wagon comes to a stop and a thin, malnourished man steps out. He asks Lilly if she can spare any food or water for him and his family. She comes a bit closer and he introduces himself as Calvin Dupree, his wife Meredith, and their three children: 12-year-old Tommy, 9-year-old Bethany and 5-year-old Lucas. Lilly comes up with a better idea and invites them to stay in Woodbury. (The Fall of the Governor - Part Two)
June 17th Day 334
  • In the aftermath of the Governor's attack on the prison, a colossal gathering of the dead, one thousand strong, has formed and is heading northeast towards the small town of Woodbury. A biter, which was lost after the attack the other day, crawls up through the busted grate, in which it fell, after seeing the group approach. (Descent)
  • Rick has mostly recovered from his infection. He asks Carl what food they've got left, and Carl tells him they've only got green beans left. Carl reads a book called Elsewhere and tells Rick that he thinks it's more fun than video games. Rick tells him to read it next to a window in the kitchen. Carl asks Rick to come with him. (Issue 51)
  • Lilly gives the Dupree family a tour of Woodbury. She explains they're planning on expanding the safe-zone towards the north and south. As they approach the racetrack, she explains how they're thinking of transforming it into a public garden. Lilly addresses rumors they might hear at some point later and asks Bob who stands behind her if he wants to tell them about the Governor. He declines, and she goes on to explain how Philip Blake was a deranged sociopath who dictated the town for the better part of a year. Though he was seen as a necessary evil, they've now reclaimed the town as a safe place to live, though many residents may still be jumpy and on edge. (Descent)
  • Lilly invites the family to live here permanently. Calvin goes to politely decline hospitality, but just then, the hidden biter grabs at the dress of nine-year-old Bethany. Everyone springs into action. Lilly kills the biter with four shots to the head, then tells Bethany - and internally herself - not to look. Lilly is a few bottles of cheap bourbon and a couple of sleepless nights from total annihilation of spirit, which is why she needs Woodbury to work. Everyone is alright. Calvin complements Lilly's handiness with a gun, and she notices a large silver cross around his neck. She asks the family if they're interested in staying. Calvin wants to think about it and pray on it, but Meredith butts in and states that they appreciate the hospitality but will be gone this afternoon. Lilly assures them that the offer still stands if they change their minds. (Descent)
  • Rick and Carl pack up their supplies and move out of their house because of all its broken windows. They raid the other houses in the street and move on. Rick hears something and rushes into one of the houses with Carl. He urgently picks up a telephone and is answered by a woman on the other end. Amazed, Rick starts asking her questions. She is in a group of fourteen, but won't tell him where they're located due to a recent run-in with a hostile group. They agree to call at the same time tomorrow, and Rick hangs up. Rick and Carl decide to go hunting for dinner, but are unsuccessful with hunting, so they figure they should probably start looking early in the morning. (Issue 51)
  • They make their way back to the house and hear disturbing, desperate screaming coming from nearby. They rush to a clearing and find a man desperately screaming for help with a dozen walkers surrounding him. He is quickly devoured by the swarm. Carl tries to help, but Rick says the man was already bitten and a shot would only put them in danger and possibly even lead some of the walkers back to the house. They come across an abandoned car in the woods, which is filled with a week's worth of supplies. They figure that the car belonged to the man from earlier, who must have been suicidal. They take the car and supplies back with them. (Issue 51)
  • Well into the afternoon, Matthew Hennesey and Speed Wilkins go off the road after Bob's pickup truck got stuck in mud while on a supply run for fuel. They cross nearly three miles of access roads before pausing on a ridge overlooking a tobacco field. Matthew is the first to spot a deeper field of green in the distance of the field. Matthew asks for Speed's binoculars and gazes out into the distance. Excited that they've just hit the lottery; not fuel, but an entire field of marijuana. They admire the plants and smell the leaves before quickly searching for a makeshift pipe. (Descent)
  • Calvin and Meredith sit in a cluttered storage room in the rear of the Woodbury courthouse, which Lilly gave them as a private room a few minutes ago. Calvin can see their three kids playing outside through a single window. Meredith doesn't want to stay, as she thinks it's best for them and their kids if they keep moving. However, Calvin believes the place was a gift to them from God. Meredith is convinced they'll be exiled when Lilly finds out about her condition, and reminds Calvin about the KOA Camp. Calvin takes her hand and prays. Meredith joins in, but he isn't sure if she's praying or mumbling something more personal and cryptic. (Descent)
  • Speed wakes up on the edge of the hidden marijuana field. He forgets what happened and how he let himself fall asleep unguarded in the open. Then, he realizes he'd been smoking weed through a fountain pen for hours. He lets out a small stoned laugh before stopping himself as he smells several biters close by. He can't see Matthew anywhere and estimates that there's possibly fifty to sixty biters close. He arms himself and slowly makes his way through the edge of the tobacco field calling out for Matthew. He sees the top of a figure's head approaching him inside the tall crops, and is about to shoot, when Matthew pops out and tells him to get down. (Descent)
  • Speed, still stoned, quickly gets down when he spots a figure behind him. An old female biter lunges out the field at him and he quickly shoots her in the head. He panics at the noise he's made, but Matthew drags him away from the scene to show him something else. It takes them about half an hour to get to the highest point in Meriwether County, not far from the intersection of Highway 85 and Millard Drive, just outside Yarlsburg. (Descent)
  • First, they have to circle back to where Bob's pickup is stuck in the mire. Once they get it moving, they drive five miles to reach Millard. Matthew doesn't tell Speed what it is, as he wants to show him, which annoys Speed. Is it a fuel source they didn't think of? Another Walmart they've missed? Speed then realizes this area is the same location the Governor staged the military vehicles before they approached the prison. They exit the truck and walk into a clearing by the woods. Speed tries to not look at the tire tracks from the convoy, which have scarred the ground. Even the Abrams tank's tracks are visible. At the edge of the forest, Matthew hands Speed the binoculars and tells him to look down the meadow. Fog and smoke still surrounds the ruins of the prison. To the left of the complex, alarge gathering of the dead emerge from the forest, bigger than they've ever seen before. Speed remembers the herd they faced, but nothing like this! He vomits at the sight of it. Matthew takes back the binoculars and they immediately have to do something about this. (Descent)
  • Lilly has been sketching plans for the community garden in the racetrack all day. She's about to show the Sterns her ideas when she sees Speed and Matthew squeeze through the gate. She goes over to them, hoping they've returned with fuel for the generator, when she sees no cans with them. Speed is about to tell her what they've seen, when Matthew stops him and takes their conversation into the courthouse for privacy. Matthew explains what they saw. A super herd heading northeast towards Woodbury, a herd so huge that it keeps gathering momentum and isn't going to change direction unless something or someone fucks with it. Lilly tries to imagine all the herds she's previously seen combined, but it just makes her head hurt. They estimate that it'll take roughly two days to get here. In the meantime, they come up with a plan. (Descent)
  • Lilly has gathered a group of the town's elders to assess the situation. She has also invited Calvin, in hopes that the news will make him stay. David Stern asks Lilly about the possibility of the herd just fizzling out. She hopes it does, but right now it's unpredictable, and they have to account for the possibility of it hitting the town. He suggests they send out scouts to keep tabs on the herd. Speed and Matthew are already going out early tomorrow to do just that. Hap leans against a walking stick, looking like he's about to fall asleep at any minute. Ben pipes up and asks how much weaponry they have. Lilly states that they lost every fifty-caliber machine gun and most of the ammo during the assault on the prison; they fucked up. Everyone moans. Lilly states that they do, but have numerous explosive and incendiary devices which didn't burn when the town was attacked. Ben doesn't think that'll cut it. Bob suggests they use all their personal guns and pool their ammo into one big stash for everyone to use. Gloria thinks they should redirect the herd somehow, which is the most plausible idea yet. Lilly suggests they dangle something to catch the herd's attention somehow. Ben believes she's thinking of using someone as bait, and is disgusted. Bob has a go at him. Lilly calms the two down and notices Calvin standing in the corner. He asks to speak to Lilly in private after. Nobody likes Gloria's idea, but it's the best one they've got. (Descent)
  • Lilly meets with Calvin in the railroad shed behind the courthouse. He offers a deal to her, which she is initially confused about. He assures her that he and his son Tommy are strong backs, which the town are going to need to help work. After a bit of hesitation and beating around the bush, Calvin confesses to Lilly that his wife is mentally ill and a liability. They've been kicked out of two previous settlements before. Lilly asks for the details. Calvin tells her that Meredith had a psychiatrist, who diagnosed her with bipolar disorder and clinical depression. She was taking lithium in Augusta before the turn, which seemed to be helping. However, since then, she's attempted suicide twice. He thinks Bob can help her, and they've got loads of medicine and people with training. Lilly calms him down and tells him that Bob is no psychiatrist; he fought in the Gulf War and as far as she knows, they don't have any lithium. Lilly agrees to help find the medicine Meredith needs; she was never good at saying 'no'. (Descent)
June 18th Day 335
  • Lilly assigns Gloria to work with Speed and Matthew through the night to alter the course of the herd. (Descent)
  • By dawn, they've formed a strategy. They'll use incendiary devices and any other flammable liquid they can spare, then start a controlled fire line across the eastern edge of the herd, thus blocking the path to Woodbury. (Descent)
  • Lilly and Bob put together a small team of men to go on a run to find lithium in the small You-Save-it Pharmacy just beyond the wall on the east side of town. (Descent)
  • It takes a few hours for Bob to prepare his team. In past missions, Bob has discovered an unexplored and locked up lower level beneath the store, which may contain a medicine stash. Bob, Hap and Ben plan to explore the building later that morning. (Descent)
  • Gloria, Matthew and Speed track the herd through the farmlands. It passes, and they estimate the speed at which it is moving. (Descent)
  • By 8:30 AM, they see the first signs of the herd in the woods west of Highway 85, about twelve miles away. (Descent)
  • Fifteen minutes later, they find a vantage point on the edge of the two-lane. They park and get out. They observe the herd again through the binoculars to find that it has grown over the course of 24 hours. Somehow, it maintains its eastward direction at about a mile or two an hour. (Descent)
  • It takes an hour to lay down the fire line. They choose a low-lying, rocky area north of Roosevelt State Park. They work quickly and silently, communicating mostly in hand gestures. They draw down a chalk line and then unfurl nearly a hundred yards of thick rope to absorb the flammables. Lastly, they pour various accelerants along the line, such as isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, gallons of old liquor, and even the guts of old fireworks. The final step is to cover the line with kindling, such as railroad ties and building timbers. (Descent)
  • By 9:45 AM, they're ready, anticipating the arrival of the herd. They smell it before they can see it. The biters arrive right on time, and Matthew prepares to ignite one end of the fire line with his makeshift detonator, a device jerry-rigged from a remote-control airplane found in a ransacked Woodbury hobby shop. He waits for the first biters to walk right on top of the line when he thumbs the ignition button, setting the whole line on fire. The biters quickly set alight. Due to the methane gasses radiating off of them, the fire spreads much faster than expected; soon enough, the whole herd is a walking inferno. They have made a huge mistake. (Descent)
  • Lilly has been checking the walkie-talkie every fifteen minutes for a possible update, but it's been silent all morning. Just when she leaves for a pee break, it blows up with Matthew's panicked voice. She asks if everything is alright. Nobody is hurt, but Matthew explains how they did the fire line and it just made everything worse. The whole herd lit up and just carried on walking like they didn't even know they were burning. Some walkers will die or be immobilised, but a large number will still make it to Woodbury by tomorrow morning. (Descent)
  • Bob and his team search through the looted shelves of the pharmacy. They can't find anything useful, so Bob decides it's time to take a look in the cellar. Ben disapproves of going to these lengths so some "nutcase housewife can get her meds". Bob thinks it's best to get her stable for all their sakes. Bob breaks the cellar's padlocks, and the men descend the service ladders. (Descent)
  • Hap struggles to see through his glasses and realises he shouldn't have insulted that young optometrist a month before the outbreak. Hap follows the sound of Bob's voice, who looks through shelves of old medicine, probably expired around the Clinton administration. Bob excitedly spots something. Hap shuffles closer, and the two stare at a door, wondering where it could possibly lead. Bob begins to chip away at the 100-year-old brickwork with his hammer to get behind the door. (Descent)
  • The door suddenly gives in; something breaks through, sending dust everywhere. Hap is startled, too old to react quickly. At first, he registers the thing as a raccoon as it crawls quickly along the floor. It clamps down on his ankle and pain shoots up Hap's leg. The biter barely looks human. It's gray and deteriorated from its time spent behind the door and might have once been a child or dwarf. Bob shoots it in the head and rushes to Hap's side, trying to quickly help him out of here. Hap refuses any help, as he knew he was going to get bit sooner or later. Bob is determined to help him while Ben reminds him that he needs to put Hap down. Bob puts his gun down and rips a part of his shirt-tail to make a tourniquet for Hap's leg. Hap grabs Bob's .375 revolver and commits suicide. Bob has no time to stop it and cradles Hap's limp body as his greasy blood pools out the back of his ruined head. Ben assures Bob that it was Hap's own choosing and he went out like a man. Bob believes he could have amputated it, but there's nothing they could have done. (Descent
  • Bob and Ben make a crude stretcher out of planks and tape to carry out Hap's body. Before they leave, Bob spits at the walker. He then notices a long tunnel beyond the door, hand-built and stretching possibly for miles. (Descent
  • Calvin rushes into his family's temporary room, panicked. Bethany sits on an office chair reading a book. Tommy and Lucas sit on the floor playing a board game. Meredith sits alone staring out a crack in one of the boarded windows, silently singing "Hush, Little Baby" to herself. Calvin asks her if she's okay, but he gets no response. He wearily tells her that something went wrong trying to stop the herd and it's heading this way. He hears what she's humming and realises this is what she's been silently singing for days. He asks if she heard him, and she quickly recoils, insisting she heard. He asks her to join him in a prayer, when Tommy stands up and tells him to do something other than pray all the time. He tells his dad that mom's sick in the head and praying won't do anything. Calvin orders his son to sit back down, so Tommy storms off and kicks the board game, startling Lucas. Calvin tells Meredith that it's all going to be okay. She pulls back again and tells himthat TTommy's right. She's mentally defective. Nuts! Calvin tells her to stop, but she barks back. She tells him to stop praying on everything, pretending they're not in the End Days, and to stop lying to her. Calvin asks what she means, so she explains that Tommy heard Calvin agree to go to the National Guard depot later to help look for weapons. She demands to know if it's true. When Calvin admits it's true, she immediately decides to go with him. (Descent)
  • ALilly, David, Bob, Calvin and Meredith travel to the scorched remains of National Guard depot #18. Calvin wearily asks what happened to the place. David explains that a group who tangled with the Governor burned it down as a kind of preemptive act. Calvin rhetorically asks who they were, and Lilly tells him they were just people trying to survive like everybody else. Burned walkers still roam the place. Meredith sarcastically tells them they're not going to find anything circling in the pickup truck, and they'll have to get out at some point. (Descent)
  • After about an hour of searching, all the supplies have either been destroyed along with most of the buildings or taken by looters. They find a narrow, long-slung Quonset hut in the far corner of the property, next to the parking garage. The hut is still intact and padlocked from the outside. Bob breaks the lock, and everyone enters the room with their flashlights to find loads of huge crates stacked to the ceiling, each labelled. Bob pauses on one crate labelled 'Incendiary munitions/white phos.' He tells Lilly that it's white phosphorus - nasty stuff like napalm, which the army used in Kuwait. Lilly mentions how they already tried that, but Bob clarifies that this stuff is different, like fire on steroids. They grab a dolly and load several crates back to the truck. (Descent)
  • Late into the afternoon, Lilly's group returns to Woodbury. Matthew's team has already beaten them back to town. They're shaken, sweaty and covered with soot, so Bob treats them in the infirmary for minor burns and smoke inhalation. Lilly questions them about what happened and how long they've got until the herd arrives. Matthew predicts they have 12 hours at the most. Lilly has seen walkers spooked by fire before but nothing like walking straight through it without any care. Bob says that the corner of the west wall should be fortified by nightfall. He knows they don't have much tim, but Bob wants to say a few words for Hap before they bury him. Lilly agrees and says that, once the wall is reinforced and everybody is gathered in the square, they'll bury Hap next to Penny. Nobody knows how badly Bob wants a drink right now. Speed asks if Calvin and his family have decided to stick around. Lilly isn't sure. She thinks he's cool and the kids are sweet, but everyone should keep an eye on Meredith, as she's got this look in her eye and wants to help with the explosives, which isn't a good idea. (Descent)
  • At 7:50 PM, the herd can be heard in the wind. Barbara Stern leads a group of eight children, aged 3-12, into the service bays below the racetrack. The group consists of the Dupree kids, Robbie, Alyssa DeVries, Nathan DeVries, and two other kids. (Descent)
June 19th Day 336
  • Carl opens 'the mystery can' without realising that Rick is on the phone again. Rick asks if they could spare any supplies. The woman tells him that she trusts him, but the others agree that he seems too eager to find them, and they're all just on edge after losing so many. After two days of unsuccessful hunting, Rick and Carl are afraid they might have to move on. They hunt again. Carl asks about the woman on the phone. Rick tells him that he's concerned, since they could be from Woodbury for all he knows. Carl hopes they're good people in a nice place. So does Rick. (Issue 51)
  • Woodbury is attacked by a huge herd. Meredith lures the walkers away from Woodbury and blows herself up, along with several hundred walkers. (Descent)
June 20th Day 337
  • Rick tells the woman on the phone that he and Carl are going to have to move on, as food has become too scarce in the area. Rick asks for her number, so if he finds a working phone somewhere, then he can check in from time to time. The woman reluctantly agrees. As she searches for the number, Rick asks her for her name. She tells Rick that it's Lori. Rick is utterly baffled and starts tearing up. He unplugs the phone from the wall and can still hear her voice on the other end, believing he has lost his mind. Lori tells him it's not his fault that she and Judith died in the prison. (Issue 51)
  • Carl finds Rick crying in the kitchen and asks if he's okay. Rick tells him to pack up because they're leaving. Carl asks about the woman on the phone and if they're going there. Rick lies and tells him she was crazy and dangerous. He goes back into the house for one last thing. He packs the phone into his backpack and joins Carl in the car. (Issue 51)
  • Rick tries to teach Carl how to drive a car, but they almost crash after running over several walkers. They argue for a moment, and Rick tells Carl that he's going to need to know how to do these things if they ever get separated. Carl knows he means if he dies, but Rick tells him he doesn't mean that. Rick gets out to clean the windscreen and goes to investigate a crashed truck whilst Carl stays in the car. A roamer approaches Carl, drawn to the noise and attacks him. (Issue 52)
  • A sword shoots out the roamer's mouth and behind it stands Michonne. She asks if Carl's okay; he jumps on her, and the two embrace. Rick greets Michonne and tells her about Tyreese, but she already knows. She asks where they're going, so Rick tells her their plan to visit Hershel's farm. Michonne was following a trail from the RV, which she lost in the woods. She had been going in this direction ever since, looking to kill anyone who wasn't one of them. Rick thinks Andrea might have survived the crash. (Issue 52)
  • Later, Carl asks Rick to stop so he can pee. Michonne asks if anyone else might have survived it, but they didn't. They stop on the road for the night. Rick had hoped they'd make it to Hershel's farm before it got dark, but now they're stuck. Michonne tells him it will be okay nd they can just take turns on watch for the night. (Issue 52)
June 21st Day 338
  • Rick and Michonne eat breakfast while Carl sleeps. She asks Rick how the prison battle went down, as she needs to know. He explains how, after Tyreese's death, the Governor drove the tank over the fences. Rick then stops himself, unable to go on. Michonne understands how hard it is, Rick tells her it was all his fault because he made the call. Rick and Michonne hear the sound of horses coming towards them. They turn around, delighted to see Glenn and Maggie. The two groups reunite, and Glenn asks if everyone's alright. Maggie asks about Hershel and Billy, but Rick gives her no answer. She begins to cry. Glenn invites them all back to Hershel's farm where they've been staying. (Issue 52, Issue 53)
  • Pete offers Oak a job on The Companion. (What We Deserve)
  • Andrea spots Glenn and Maggie returning with Rick, with Michonne and Carl in the car next to them. She tells Dale, who shares her surprise but not her joy. Andrea asks Maggie if she's okay, but Glenn tells her she might have to look after Sophia for them tonight. Dale approaches Rick and apologises for leaving. Rick tells him he's sorry too. (Issue 53)
  • Carl visits Sophia, who is sitting down on the floor of her room. He tells her that it's okay to be sad because they both have dead moms now. Sophia tells him that her mom is sitting in the next room crying. Puzzled, Carl reminds her that that's Maggie, but she insists Maggie is her mom. Carl asks if she remembers him which triggers her to suddenly become joyful and hug Carl. He tells Rick that he thinks Sophia is crazy because she thinks Maggie is her mom. Rick tells him that people grieve in different ways, but Carl thinks that's stupid. Rick tells him that Sophia has been through a lot and all she needs is for Carl to just be nice to her. (Issue 53)
  • Dale asks if Carl's sleeping, so Rick says he'll zoink out in a minute or two. He asks if Rick is okay, but he's just getting by like everyone else. The farm has been quiet, with only half a dozen walkers a day coming by. Dale wants to stay here because the farm isn't a target, and there are a dozen just like it down the road. Rick blames himself for everything that happened. He thinks that, if he had just left with Dale, everything would be fine. Dale tries to comfort Rick by telling him that nobody knows what could have happened if they all left, it could have been worse, but he needs to focus on the living. A lot of them would be dead if it weren't for Rick. Rick thanks Dale. Dale tells him to come and speak to him if he ever needs to talk about Lori, as he knows what it's like losing a wife. Dale asks if they should stay on the farm. (Issue 53)
  • Rick doesn't want to make decisions anymore. Rick finds Michonne talking to herself around the side of the house. He asks her who she was talking to and tells her she can trust him. She tells Rick about her dead boyfriend Mike. Sometimes, she can hear him, clear as day, talking to her and controlling her sometimes. She thinks Rick thinks she's crazy. Rick pulls out the telephone he took from the house and tells Michonne how he can hear Lori's voice on the other end if he picks it up. They both agree not to tell anyone. (Issue 53)
June 22nd Day 339
  • Rick and Carl wake up to a gunshot. Rick rushes outside and finds Andrea holding three strangers at gunpoint. The bigger man tells Andrea that they're just here for supplies, and they can leave if she wants them to. The smaller man tells him they need the supplies and aren't going anywhere. Rick comes out and points his gun at the strangers. Two walkers burst through the fence, so Glenn goes to pick up a gun. The big man stops him and quickly takes out the two walkers with his knife by kicking their legs first. Andrea shoots three times and orders him to drop all his weapons. The man asks her why she's using firearms in a stationary camp. The smaller man tells her that biters are attracted to loud sounds and everyone in a radius of that shot will come here and form a herd. (Issue 53)
  • Rick tells everyone to calm down and asks what the strangers want. The big man introduces himself as Sergeant Abraham Ford, the woman as Rosita Porter, and the smaller man as Doctor Eugene Porter. He asks them for any supplies they can spare so they can make it to D.C., so Rick asks why they would want to go there. Eugene explains that he was in contact with people in D.C. who can reverse the apocalypse, as he's a scientist and knows exactly what caused everything. He goes on to tell Rick how he was working on the human genome project, weaponizing diseases. The group are shocked and confused. A generator in one of D.C.'s signal boosters ran out, so he hasn't been able to contact them on his radio for a while. (Issue 53, Issue 54)
  • Andrea sticks her rifle in Eugene's face, causing Abraham to grab it and hit her with the butt. He answers Rick's question about what a herd is by explaining it in more depth. He then tells the group that Eugene's information is classified and he hasn't even told them. Rosita tells the group that Abe is usually much nicer. Eugene asks once again for supplies so they can all move on, but Abe wants to save the group, as they'll all die if they stay on the farm. Rick tells them they have kids, so Abe calms down and asks if they could spend the night at least. Dale tells them to keep their distance and they'll be able to stay. (Issue 54)
  • Andrea asks Abe if he slept well last night. He apologises for hitting her in the face with her gun, because he knows she wasn't going to shoot Eugene. Andrea tells him he doesn't know that. Abe spots five walkers approaching, but tells Andrea not to fire her gun and to tell others to use melee weapons if he needs help. He grabs a pitchfork and impales one of the walkers, then uses it to knock two more down so he can stab the two that are still standing with his knife. He picks the pitchfork back up and stabs the two fallen walkers, before finally killing the last with ease. (Issue 54)
  • Abe then convinces the group to consider leaving with them before more and more show up. Rick and Dale consider the offer.

July 23rd Day 370
  • Clementine walks up to the toilets near Gil's Pitstop, along with Omid and a visibly pregnant Christa, who discuss what to name their baby. Omid is adamant on naming it 'Omid Junior'. They reach the toilets and Omid tells Clem to clean herself up in the girl's bathroom and make sure it's safe. He then helps Christa in the men's. Clem checks each of the bathroom stalls. The first one is gross and the second contains a bloody stuffed animal. The final toilet is clean, so Clem gets to cleaning her face in the mirror. She accidentally knocks her bottle off and it rolls under one of the stalls. She picks it up, but a stranger then enters the bathroom. With no time to grab her bag or gun, Clem is forced to leave them by the sink while she hides. (All That Remains)
  • The girl enters and eyes up Clem's gun. She then points it at the cubical Clem is hiding in and tells her to come out. Michelle robs Clem at gunpoint, demanding everything she has. When Clem tells her that all she has in the backpack, Michelle demands Clem's hat. Clem refuses and tells her where she got it. As Michelle searches through Clem's backpack, Omid enters the bathroom and cautiously walks towards Michelle. The girl looks at a picture of Lee and asks if she's Clem's dad before insulting him. The bathroom door shuts, startling Michelle, who spins around and accidentally shoots Omid in the chest. Christa bursts into the bathroom with a rifle and gazes upon Omid's body. Michelle insists she didn't mean to, before being blasted in the stomach by Christa. Christa holds Omid in her arms and cries, she looks at Clem's gun, realising that it was used to murder him. (All That Remains)
  • Omid is later buried outside the gas station. A while later, Christa gives birth to her baby with only Clem to help her. The baby is stillborn, which pushes Christa deeper into depression. (All That Remains)

  • Tavia looks at the pictures of Vince, Wyatt, Russell, Bonnie, Shel and Becca on a notice board outside Gil's Pitstop, then tells a man on the walkie-talkie that she has found survivors. After driving around, she spots smoke in the distance and heads towards their camp in hopes of bringing them to her community up north. After some persuasion, Bonnie will leave the camp with Tavia. (Epilogue)
    • If Vince saved Danny, then Russell will bring up how Danny was an asshole and died before Shel and Becca joined the group, so Vince will stay. If Vince saved Justin, he will mention how Justin left him to find one of these communities, and will join Tavia.
    • If Wyatt was abandoned by Eddie, then he says that Vince saved his life and will only leave if Tavia says there might be people they know in the community, in hopes of finding Eddie. If Wyatt abandoned Eddie himself, then he leaves the camp with Tavia regardless.
    • Russel will also only leave with Tavia if she says there might be people they know there, in hopes of finding his grandmother and family.
    • If Shel and Becca left Gil's Pitstop, or if Tavia says there are people of all ages in the community, they will join Tavia.

Note

  • Although we evaluated the many dates given for the cause of the outbreak in "Around Every Corner", we found out that the start of the outbreak was July 19th, 2003. However, Robert Kirkman has previously stated in his letter hack that signs of the virus started in October 2003. The Novel Series by Jay Bonansinga also imply the outbreak date being in late September or early October of 2012.
    • It appears that the outbreak date was retconned from October to July after the Telltale Game was released in 2012. The following year, the Morgan Special issue was released, which further supports this date.
    • With the exception of the Jay Bonansinga novels, all media set in the comic universe supports the outbreak year as being in 2003, either explicitly or implicitly.

Trivia

  • The comic series was set in 2003, but in early drafts, it was going to be set in the 1960s, be called Night of The Living Dead, and most likely pay homage to the original Night of The Living Dead material that started the zombie genre.
  • The comic series is the farthest ahead into the apocalypse, at over 25 years.
