Vol. 6 This Sorrowful Life (Issues #31–36)



NOTABLES

  • Doctor Stevens seems very empathetic and helpful to Rick.
  • The Governor offers Michonne a week of "rest", from her torture, if she fight in the "Fight Night". He instructs he not to kill her opponent and gives her sword back. (Big mistake.) Of course Michonne does the opposite and beheads the guy.
  • Surprisingly Martinez tries to help Rick escape -with Glenn's help. He feels guilty for Rick's hand being chopped off. The character in the TV show doesn't show much depth and seem to obey The Governor's ever order. Maybe in season 4 we might see some of the traits he has in the comic- being as The Governor massacred most of the town.
  • The group seems to have new additions. Alice asks Rick to take Dr. Stevens and herself with them. It seems as if Martinez will have to join due to his involvement with their escape.
  • Never get attached to any characters. During the Escape Dr. Stevens is bit by a walker. They'd barely made it over the wall before the biter attacked.
  • As in the TV series before the group retreats from Woodbury Michonne decides to pay The Governor a visit. This time he's already in his apartment with his daughter. They tussle and Michonne manages to get the advantage; then proceeds to torture him. (See photos)
  • When Rick, Glenn, Michonne, Alice, and Martinez return to the prison the gates are open and the yard is over ran with walkers.
  • It turns out that Martinez's intentions were to lead The Governor to the prison. Rick chased him down in the RV and choked him to death. 
  • Glenn asks Hershel for Maggie's hand in marriage. And of course he proposes and she accepts.
  • Rick realizes how detached he's become and how comfortable he is with killing the living. He's starting to really embrace the changes he's made; even though it is completely opposite of the man he use to be. 
  • The volume ends with the group coming to the realization that they may be facing an attack from Woodbury, and preparing for it.


RANDOM THOUGHTS

  • Michonne is a bad ass. I can't get enough of her.
  • The Governor must be crazy if he truly thought Michonne was going to honor her agreement. He seems really baffled by the fact that she did not keep her word. 
  • Michonne's a biter. . .LOL.
  • The Governor has yet to make the same impression he did in the TV show. I loved to hate the character in the show, but as of right now he's just a crazy bastard.
  • Damn, Michonne cut off the an arm, and 'popped' an eye out. 

QUOTES

  • Michonne to The Governor: "You passed out a second time when I nailed your prick to the board you're on."
