The Walking Dead #88

As much as I love this series, there is always the odd issue that is only very very good, as opposed to the usual level of fantastic I've come to expect.  This is just one of those issues.

Carl is awake, but doesn't have all of his memories.  Rick is having a hard time coping with all of this, so he decides to go out scavenging in the area around the town.  Andrea tries to get rid of that guy that likes her, and there is a possibility of new intrigue taking place within the community.

It is a very good issue, but it feels a little like a conduit between two places in the story, and so doesn't hold up well as its own thing.  As always though, there is strong characterization and great art.
