Let me see if i get this clear: a guy named Negan pops off the head of a cool guy named Glenn with an wired bat, after that a lot of deaths comes, including the one of a girl named Holly who was killed in an un-disclosure way and then she is used as a weapon. Then a pretty Dr. named Denise and some others casualties comes along with the story, then at the end of the conflict the leader named Rick decides that it is time to be a moral figure, keeping alive the Osama Bin Laden of his world, and the widow of the headless Glenn agrees with that... well to me that does not sound like human nature, that sound like superman's logic in which the good guy is ,no matter what, always good. Well... again... i am not buying it AT ALL.
This comic is (I still do not want to use the word WAS) great because it captures, in each character, the human nature on his most pure form: defensive, offensive, aggressive, fearful, fearless etc, but this last episode looks like a contradiction to the 125 issues that came first, because is trying to tell us that Rick is no longer the guy who spoke with his death wife on a ghost phone, or is no longer the guy who smashed to the death a group of cannibals, or is no longer a guy capable of kill a guy biting him on the throat( just to mention some pretty savages qualities in him) that guy can be forgotten because this Clarkkentanian Rick is new and has forgotten, just in one issue, his post apocalyptic nature, his past, his story, and now he is… a frickin’ politician, ready to show his most civilized perspective of life, he has become one of those annoying “doesntmattertheworldisupsidedownwithzombieseverywhere” guys trying to do the right thing.
Enough Said.
