Tagging comic spoiler just in case there's any newcomers.

I noticed a messed up parallel in the comics. I'm on issue 70, and I'm very well aware of everything that happens after this, but I think this is one of the darkest ironies in the comic books.

When Rick talks to Douglas Monroe upon his first day in Alexandria, Douglas tells Rick a story about a father he read about on the internet that... ate his 4 year old son's eyes out while he was on drugs. He tells Rick how that messed him up for a while and can't imagine anyone who would hurt a child, and what the kid must have been feeling.

Which made me remember something that happens 13 issues later. While Douglas is being killed by walkers in the herd, he fires his gun about 5 times. One of these shots meets an unfortunate mark...

And he shoots 8 year old Carl in the face, taking out his eye.

I thought that was interesting and so messed up.

I consistently see Volume 2 of The Walking Dead ranked very in rankings of the comics’ volumes. Why? Other than the art change I found this volume to be a great follow up to Days Gone Bye.
