SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
First appearance of Alpha (in cameo on last page).
Death of Doug.
CGC census 4/2019: 429. 388 @9.8, none higher.
Story summary: Magna orders Kelly to let go of Andrea. She tells Andrea to "get comfortable" as it may take a while answering their questions. Andrea responds with a promise, that if they hurt her in any way they will be dealt with.
Brianna brings Hershel to Maggie up on the Hilltop mansions deck (as shown on the cover), as Rick and the two watch the sunset. Sophia and Carl join them shortly after playing chess with Earl Sutton. The group settles together as they watch the sun go down.
Meanwhile, Dante and his search party fight their way out of the barn. As they cut their way through, one of the roamers slashes out at Doug with a knife (this is the death of Jesus in the TV show, season 9 episode 8). Dante orders them all to get back in formation as few remain, hoping to finish them off and ignore this event.
Another roamer thrusts its knife at the other guard whom manages to deflect it in time. Dante is oblivious to this as he takes down one of the few remaining undead. Doug panics and attempts to flee as one of them chases after him, stabbing him in the back before getting on top of him and stabbing him repeatedly.
The remaining guard calls out to him as another stabs him in the neck. Dante, now the only surviving member of the search party, fights the armed roamers. During a brief confrontation with one, it informs him that the undead will not notice if one whispers. Dante is surprised that the undead can talk.
Dante is able to kill the roamers, and is shocked to find out that they are actually disguised survivors using skin from roamers as masks and suits. He is then approached by a pack of other disguised survivors, one of them pointing a shotgun at his head, and saying "Don't move."
