The Walking Dead, Vol. 25: No Turning Back

A lot of these issues, after the big bombshell in 144, were super hyped, especially with the idea that Negan would be utilized more in the story now that a new threat has arrived. Sure, there's some good savage moments with old Rick (old as in earlier in the story and age), but the hype was a bit too much for some of these issues. Negan doesn't really get to shine till future volumes. The contrast is nice with the more upbeat previous volumes, in preparation for the fair, and the depressing volume now post fair, after everyone finds out what has happened to their friends, families, and leader.
