Collecting together issues 31-36 of the comic book, THE
WALKING DEAD, VOL. 6: THIS SORROWFUL LIFE picks up where Vol. 5 left off. Rick,
Glenn, and Michonne have been captured by the Governor at Woodbury and are
being held captive. In the previous volume, the Governor cut off Rick’s right
arm and brutally tortured and raped Michonne. In this volume, Michonne is sent
to the arena and “betrays” the Governor by killing her opponent and all of the
zombies in the arena. Later, with the assistance of one of the guards named
Martinez, Rick, Glenn, Michonne make their escape from Woodbury along with Dr.
Stevens and his assistant, Alice. Michonne leaves the group to get her revenge
on the Governor. Meanwhile, Rick and the rest of the escapees make the journey
back to the prison only to find another surprise waiting them.
THE BEST DEFENSE picked up the storytelling of “The Walking
Dead” after several slow issues. THIS SORROWFUL LIFE keeps that pace going. It’s
full of action, a few twists, and some key realizations by Rick Grimes and his
company. As Tyreese points out to Carl, Rick is what holds the group together. Overall,
THIS SORROWFUL LIFE is a solid collection in a captivating series.
