The Walking Dead, Vol. 8: Made to Suffer by Robert Kirkman

5.0

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED. This was so brutal and crazy and wow I can't even fathom what just happened. I'm so upset that I don't have the next volume with me at the moment so I'm left with a cliff hanger of sorts. I know I've seen the show so I have an idea of what happens next but the comics are so different form the show. It's different but also the same. I just aksjdlajsla I CAN'T.

SPOILERS BELOW
The Governor is alive and he's a ruthless bitch. They really should've taken the opportunity to kill him when they had the chance. I can't believe the amount of death in this volume. Tyreese got his head cut off with a sword by The Governor (in the show it was Hershel so I thought it was interesting that they changed it), and it was so sad. They just had to stand and watch while it happened. Poor Tyreese. He was a HUGE character in these comics and I was shocked to see him die that way. Then, Hershel also gets hot in the head and he basically just gives up and lets The Governor shoot him like what the fuck Hershel? Maggie is still alive out there and she needs you. I was disappointed that Hershel just gave up like that, especially being as religious as he is. He seemed to have the most hope out of all of them. Then fucking Lori died with Judith in her arms like what the fuck!!!!!!!! I didn't know Judith died in the comics and how can they kill a baby ugh. I'm so depressed. I wasn't sure how Lori was gonna die but that was so shocking. The way Rick and Carl are able to get over it so quickly and keep running is shocking. I thought for sure it would make them stop and turn around but nope. I really enjoyed that scene where Rick and Carl are leaving the prison and Rick is saying "Don't look back Carl," because it's EXACTLY like the tv show and I can't believe how perfect they got that scene. I was so excited about it.

But wow so many people died and The Governor is still alive.. or so it seems? I was kind of confused at the end and it was hard to tell if he survived or not but I'm pretty sure he's still alive. If he is alive I wonder how the Governor will eventually die, cause in the show he died as he was trying to take over the prison, so now I'm curious to see where that is going to go. Ugh, I'm so addicted to these comics now. I like that it's different from the show but it's also very similar too. They keep some of the same story lines but it happens to different characters, and then they'll completely shock me at times and it'll be nothing like the tv show. I never know what to expect and it's exciting and it's like getting to watch the show all over again. I'm so excited to continue reading this!
