The final part of this book deals with the aftermath-decades in the future and it too is fitting an attempt to maintain the balance that was so drastically lost at the start of the series.

The volume focuses on resolving the tension with the governor in the new community that Rick's group have connected with and reading it, you feel like it is about to rhyme as it had with the Governor and Negan. The ending fits and the story feels complete-and I can be happy with that. I don't know that I'd consider it the best end of a comic series, but it doesn't come anywhere close to the worse. It was rather exactly what it needed to be. In sitting down and reading what is the last volume in this series, it wasn't as they say, bittersweet.
