Owner's Description

Death of Bruce Cooper

Last Appearance of Bob and Penny Blake.

This is the only issue so far where the main characters are not Rick's group.

Creator Robert Kirkman calls this the "flashback issue".

The Governor is found in his apartment lying on a wooden panel. The Governor's right hand men, Gabe and Bruce Cooper, think that he is dead until Cooper tries to kill Penny Blake, and he wakes up and tells him not to. Cooper runs downstairs, and finds Bob, the local town drunk. It's revealed that Bob was a medic "40 years ago for about 2 weeks", and he says that he can't do anything.

Cooper forces him to do something and they go back to the Governor's place. When Bob sees the Governor, he throws up, and notes he can't even look at him. Cooper asks if Bob wants the Governor to die, but Bob doesn't. Cooper yells and wants him to do something. Finally, Bob does what he can, and he says that he needs clean bandages.

Almost a week later, the Governor wakes up. Gabe is with him in the Woodbury hospital. The Governor is very surprised when he hears that Bob had saved him. He notes: "That old drunk couldn't draw a straight line -- let alone patch me up". Later, he's watching his human head TV, when Cooper comes to tell him, that they found Martinez, zombified.

The Governor gives a speech to Woodbury survivors and they are plan to kill all of Rick's group. The Governor says that they killed Dr. Stevens and shows them Caesar Martinez's zombified head. All of the survivors are shocked. Next, they try to find The Prison and kill all people who are living in there.

While the survivors go with Bruce and Gabe to try and find The Prison, it's revealed that the Governor is right-handed. He can't shoot well with his gun, because Michonne had cut his right arm off.

Later, in his house, The Governor pulls out all of Penny's teeth and kisses her. He throws up and says that he will get used to the taste. Gabe knocks on his door, and tells him that Bruce Cooper has left and the survivors have heard some gunshots. The Governor, Gabe, and some other soldiers find the other men, including Sam, dead. Bruce is barely alive, choking on his own blood. He says that "they came back", and dies.The Governor shoots him, and gets more vengeful and angry.

Gabe and an unnamed survivor eventually locate the Prison. Later, Gabe asks why they can't attack yet. The Governor answers that they are going to wait because the Prison survivors are relaxing and would not be ready if they attack later and unexpectedly. The Governor leaves Bob to watch Penny, and says that if somebody dies, he could feed her. Bob agrees and The Governor leaves his house.

The Governor, Gabe, and large number of Woodbury soldiers are gathered up, and are ready for the fight of their lives. The Governor also says that they will see woman and children, but according to him: "They dont deserve to live". Gabe ask The Governor if he is coming with them, and he replies that he wouldn't miss this for the world, and he's riding in the tank. The issue ends, when Woodbury tanks and cars are assembled behind the fences, and The Governor yells: "Kill them all!"
