Praise for THE WALKING DEAD #116:

“So far, this bi-weekly event is living up to its name and expectations.” --Augie De Blieck, Jr., Comic Book Resources

“Gaudiano's inks bring a newfound level of sharpness and clarity to Charlie Adlard's pencils. The action hits harder and the storytelling flows better as a result.” --Jesse Schedeen, IGN

“So far this arc is truly unlike anything Kirkman has done before. Which is no easy feat after writing the same series for ten years. With any luck the fantastic pacing will keep up and we'll be treated to a new gold standard of zombie story by years end.” --Jimbus_Christ, Bloody Disgusting
