Book Seven collects issues #73–84, exploring the internal fractures within Alexandria as Rick Grimes wrestles with his leadership role in a fragile new society. The tension between civility and brutality simmers, questioning whether humanity can rebuild without repeating its mistakes. Visually grounded in Adlard’s expressive linework and Rathburn’s textures, this arc is a slow-burning examination of fear, power, and community in the undead apocalypse.
