The Writing
Robert Kirkman’s skill as a storyteller is on full display in this final issue. The aftermath of the initial battle with the Great Serpent sets the stage for a climactic showdown that will determine the fate of the world.

The themes of family, friendship, and love resonate throughout, giving the series a depth and emotional resonance that is rare in comics. Kirkman’s ability to pay off long-running plot points and callbacks from earlier issues adds an extra layer of emotional weight, rewarding longtime fans for their dedication.
The Art, Colors and Letters
Chris Samnee’s art style is the perfect complement to Kirkman’s writing, with its simple yet expressive linework bringing the characters and their world to life. Samnee’s attention to detail, particularly in the background scenery, adds depth and texture to each panel, while Matt Wilson’s vibrant colors imbue the artwork with a sense of energy and vitality. Russ Wooton’s lettering enhances the action sequences, giving them a dynamic and cinematic feel that propels the story forward. Together, the creative team has crafted a visually stunning and emotionally resonant finale that will leave a lasting impression on readers.
