   The scavenge team is still on the trek to Ohio to meet up with Stephanie. Meanwhile, Rick tells Jesus about how he doesn't know if Dwight can be trusted. Jesus tells him he'll keep an eye on him while Annie asks Rick to check on a distraught Mikey, still fresh from the loss of his mom.

Rick doesn't trust Dwight? I don't know why...

   Brianna and Maggie keep heading towards Hilltop but Maggie seems distracted. Meanwhile in the woods, a crazed Negan kills a bunch of walkers but wishes there were some people around to hear his one-liners. One person that is around though is Dante, who watches him from afar. 

"Welcome down to 'Mama Negan's Motherf*cking Death Kitchen Of Death (tm)'"

   Dwight and Laura talk about Rick. She tells him threatening Rick was a bad move, but Dwight doesn't see a whole lot of difference between Rick and Negan. Back home, Rick comforts Mikey though not sure it'll do any good.
   Back on the road, Michonne sees a kingdom guard and asks about life past the border. He can't tell her much - a possibility that excites Yumiko. Maggie and Brianna run into William who offers supplies to the Hilltop. Back in the woods, Negan returns to Lucille's grave. Crushed to be without his beloved murder weapon, a creepy Dante just keeps watch.
   Michonne and company stop to camp for the night. Eugene goes to pee and sees Yumiko and Magna making out. He hears Siddiq scream and runs back. There they all take out the walkers and Magna teases Siddiq that he's a pretty crummy lookout. The noise has forced them back on the move though.

Eugene: Still Creepin'.

   Jesus and Aaron share an intimate moment, contemplating a move back to the Hilltop when Jesus professes his love to him. Meanwhile the scavenge team rolls through an abandoned Pittsburgh. They walk through it and realize it's completely empty. Safe and out of harms way on a rooftop, Saddiq tells Eugene that Rosita loved him. With that, we're left to be continued.
   I've read a few collected issues of this book from earlier on in it's launch, and judging from these most recent issues, Robert Kirkman is on a plot moving marathon. Every page is almost a different group or character, which is cool and all but seems a little unnecessary. Still I guess he's giving the people what they want. I give this one an 8/10.
