Walking Dead Vol 23: Whispers Into Screams

Robert Kirkman's latest Walking Dead, Vol 23 "Whispers Into Screams" was pretty good. Carl is settling in on Maggie's side of town when they capture a young girl who is part of the group of people who call themselves the Whisperers: they walk among the dead in zombie skins. Carl gets to know Lydia while he's cooling his heels in their makeshift jail, locked up for going a bit overboard and almost beating two guys to death who were hurting Sophia. He convinces Maggie to let Lydia out, saying she's harmless, and Maggie does. Carl spends the day with Lydia, and like a typical teenage boy assumes he's in love with her. Lydia's mom comes to get her and Maggie trades Lydia for the prisoners the Whisperers have, much to Carl's chagrin. When Sophia goes looking for him later, he's vanished, gone off to rescue Lydia.
