The previous issue of The Walking Dead racked up one of the highest body counts in the series' long history, as no less than a dozen characters were killed so that Alpha could send an unmistakable message to our heroes. A tragedy of that magnitude practically demands that the characters take a step back and take stock. And that's pretty much what issue #145 is - a quieter, more downbeat installment that explores the immediate fallout of these senseless deaths and how they impact Rick and the others.
More than usual, this is an issue that really banks on the storytelling abilities of Charlie Adlard. Almost two full pages pass before any dialogue is uttered. Even when conversations unfold, the emphasis is far more on emotion and facial expression than dialogue. Adlard really delivers on that front. He sells the idea that these characters had reached a point where life finally seemed to be getting better and new hope for humanity loomed, only to be hit with the realization that this world as every bit as savage as it was when they were fighting Negan or the Governor.
