Although I have always enjoyed The Walking dead graphic novels, I must agree with everyone else that lately there has not been much going on. In Volume 18:What Comes After this is not the case at all. Carl, Michonne, and Maggie all start to develop their own story lines while still following Negan's story. They also introduce a new neighboring town, The Kingdom. In my review for Vol.17:Something to Fear I praised TWD for being so realistic, The Kingdom does not follow this rule, but I was still pleasantly surprised by its appearance. This has made me even more anxious for the next book that I have decided to start buying the single issues as they come out.

I do not agree with everyone else who says that Negan is too much like the Governor. The similarity between them begins and ends with them both being major villains who want control. The Governor kept his bad side a secret from the majority of Woodbury, while Negan's community all clearly fear him. I think Kirkman purposely made the two similar to show the reader's how much Rick has changed since the prison, but I do not think Negan is just a copy of the Governor.
