It's still unbelievable that Rick's wife and kid survived and are still alive. But it's a fiction after all and as the story progressed, maybe his family will be attacked by the zombies and turn into one of them. ( )

I love this issue, just like I love the others. In this issue Rick gets back to his family and meets everyone in the group that Glenn, Shane, Lori and Carl have been staying with.

In a way, the women talking while they were doing the laundry almost felt like they were not in the middle of the end of the world and it was nice to see them having a normal moment.

That said, I think it is stupid that they are still out in the open. Sure, they have only had to deal with a few zombies over the last few months, but that is only because they have been lucky.

Shane and Lori saying that they are staying out in the open to wait for someone from the government to rescue them, is not wise. At this point, I would assume the government is dismantled and most people are dead. From what Lori has said, they have been out there for a few months. So no one is going to rescue them.

Sticking themselves out in the open is a dangerous thing. Any people that show up and any nearby zombies could hear and see them and then they would be in deep crap.

I do not understand why the group did not look around for a nearby neighborhood or community and move in there, where I assume it would be a little safer.

At the end of this issue, you can already see that Shane is gonna become a problem. If not soon, then a little down the line.

He likes Lori romantically, and I am sure he is gonna be a problem for Rick and Lori. Rick better not mess around and take him out if it comes to that.

Also, something I noticed. Lori (I think?), told Rick that they have shovels at the camp to smack the zombies with. Why are they not carrying the shovels around and using them for protection instead of constantly using guns?

Sure, Dale killed the zombie that was after Donna, with an ax, but he had to haul ass to get to her to kill it. There was a better chance she would have died before he could save her, but she was lucky.

They need to start carrying around the shovels. Also, what about raiding some nearby houses or neighborhoods and looking for knives or firepokers if the house has a fireplace? I mean, they should have weapons on themselves at ALL times.

I am glad that Rick talked Shane out of trying to take the deer away from the zombie so they could eat it. Why would Shane even suggest they try to take the deer from it? Does he not think that at least SOMETHING would be wrong with the deer, now that the zombie had started eating it? ( )
