I wanted to rate this one 4, because it was very good... but I just couldn't. This series is so terribly plotted overall that it just creeps into everything. The big bad guy here is just the Governor with some different artist choices. The zombies only crop up in maybe one real scene? It just.... it feels like the series is trying to better than it is. I had a feeling in this issue that the author was attempting to channel some GRRM and some SM Stirling and this author just isn't either of those two greats.
