    The Walking Dead #113 gives us the ten minutes that occur after the cliffhanger of #112. It would take up ten minutes of the TV show. The comic is much better however. It takes less time to read than it would take to play out on the show, but it’s a rush. You can’t turn the page fast enough, unexpected moment after unexpected moment, and you end up out of breath. There is melodrama, but it’s mostly unsaid. There aren’t scenes of weeping or contemplation, things happen far too fast. I like The Walking Dead, but it can feel ponderous and slow in places. And it probably should, this is a comic about survival in the long term, it’s necessary to have such pauses. But there are none here. Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard give us speed and purpose.

    "The comic breaks rules, it swaps directions of view in an instant, it feels like there’s been a whip pan. For the main focus, Rick vs Negan, the comic doesn’t pause on a point of view for more than a panel, it moves, it gets reaction fast, it feels the page with movement.
    But there are other battles going on, and on those we linger slightly more. Such as Angie in the sniper tower, going through her own private hell. There is time for things to be said, dwelled on, luxuriated, in comparison at least. Before we snap back to the ground, and the wider, faster, more expansive battle. And some Negan swearing to boot. See, this is the Peter Capaldi I know, shame he has another TV role to concentrate on."

    They sure let a one-handed man beat up a bigger man with a barbed-wire bat enough

    I have a feeling Rick and Negan might turn out a little like the Governor and TV Andrea. Negan has all these chances to kill Rick, but doesn't. Then, he gets it from Rick.

    I agree. I think a main character might actually get the kill. I kinda want the saviors to lose but Negan escape.

    Then later he returns and kills a bunch of people in Hilltop and get offed by Maggie. Saruman style.

    I've gotta think there is a reason to have Maggie there in the story.
