Synopsis

The zombie plague unleashes its horrors on the suburbs of Atlanta without warning, pitting the living against the dead. Caught in the mass exodus, Lilly Caul struggles to survive in a series of ragtag encampments and improvised shelters. But the Walkers are multiplying. Dogged by their feral hunger for flesh and crippled by fear, Lilly relies on the protection of good Samaritans by seeking refuge in a walled-in town once known as Woodbury, Georgia.

At first, Woodbury seems like a perfect sanctuary. Squatters barter services for food, people have roofs over their heads, and the barricade expands, growing stronger every day. Best of all, a mysterious self-proclaimed leader named Philip Blake keeps the citizens in line. But Lilly begins to suspect that all is not as it seems. . . . Blake, who has recently begun to call himself The Governor, has disturbing ideas about law and order.

Ultimately, Lilly and a band of rebels open up a Pandora's box of mayhem and destruction when they challenge The Governor's reign . . . and the road to Woodbury becomes the highway to hell in this riveting follow-up to Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga's New York Times bestselling The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor.

Goodreads review by Baba on December 14, 2022

It's the calm before the storm? Will Woodbury's people find the prison? Will Martinez make it back to Woodbury? Will Carl get a sister? This relatively quiet time gives time for relationships to harden, Rick to re-evaluate what he can offer, and Michonne to maybe heal? As we're talking more about re......more

Goodreads review by Sean Barrs on July 31, 2016

This was a simply set up. Nothing more, nothing less. These issues exist to usher in the conclusion of the first compendium. It’s filler material, appropriate filler material, though it’s still a little dull. It’s a foreshadowing of the climax. The group arm themselves and set up the prison’s defenc......more

Goodreads review by Gabriel on January 25, 2025

El tomo menos entretenido y no porque no pase nada, sino que se nota que es de transición para lo que se viene. Eso sí, agradezco que se le haya dado fin al conflicto de Carol.

Goodreads review by Bookishrealm on February 22, 2023

Yes! We're finally getting a storyline where there's a little bit of joy. Part of me was excited to find the small moments of joy in this volume and then other parts of me were nervous because it feels like the calm before the storm. That's not to say that nothing sad and/or traumatic happens in this......more
