The Walking Dead – Made To Suffer | Comics

The Governor was found severely crippled with several limbs missing and taken care of by his men who had him rescued from a vengeful Michonne in the nick of time who was about to painfully torture him to death. After they barely patched him up with help from a former army medic named Bob, The Governor eventually survives. He wakes up a week after in Woodbury hospital and then waits for his man Caesar Martinez to return.

Caesar was sent with Rick Grimes and his group to follow them back to their home as a double agent for him and to locate the prison facility where the survivors were currently residing. After some searching, his men found Caesar zombified in the field. Apparently, he was killed by Rick who ran over Dale's RV on Martinez and then strangled to death when he found that the latter was going back to Woodbury.

The Governor then successfully convinces the townspeople of Woodbury to attack the prison by telling them a false story about the prison dwellers being a very aggressive and savage band of folks. He also showed Martinez's zombified decapitated head to them to prove his claims, which really shocks a lot of them. As his search parties kept looking for the prison, The Governor prepares himself by practicing shooting even though his right arm was off.

Meanwhile, he was spending time with his own zombified niece Penny and kisses her after pulling out her teeth only to throw up immediately. Then he learned that a group of soldiers from Woodbury was killed by the prison group at the National Guard Station during a confrontation of their supply run. This angers The Governor and his men to attack the prison but they wait for long. With heavy vehicles and armory they approached at the prison as one of Governor’s men was successful in locating it after weeks of searching and mapping the surrounding areas.

During the first attack, Andrea climbs on the guard tower and devastates the Woodbury forces by shooting at them. The remaining survivors debate as to run away or to fight back. Tyreese and Michonne are also captured by Governor's men while trying to turn the tides of the battle and their fate seems to be quite unsure at this point. What happens next between the two group is a savage contest of massacring each other till no one is left.

The Walking Dead – Made To Suffer

Following the events of “The Calm Before”, there comes “Made To Suffer” storyline that collects issue #43-48 of The Walking Dead monthly ongoing comic-book series from Image Comics in 2008. It also is the one volume that features the highest amount of deaths in the panels which is later surpassed by the “All Out War” story arc. Series creator and writer Robert Kirkman (Outcast, The Astounding Wolf-Man) and artist Charlie Adlard (Judge Dredd, The X-Files) created this six part plot that is succeeded by "Here We Remain" storyline which is next to this one.

The eighth episode from Season 3 of AMC's The Walking Dead TV Series also shares the same name of the storyline. However, that episode did not feature the attack of Woodbury people led by The Governor on Rick's prison. Since AMC's TV adaptation is solely based on the source material of Robert Kirkman's work on the comics series, the third season seemed like a stretch as it concluded to Season 4 for viewers to find out what threat The Governor will pose on Rick's group. The key-elements of the violent nature of the conflict that took place on the arc was toned down for television audience when it was aired.

X-Men – Blinded by the Light | Comics

X-Men – Blinded by the Light | Comics
Rogue is mentally troubled after she has recently dealt with the murderous alien entity known as Hecatomb and absorbed the consciousness of eight billion people along with it. All of the members of the team are re-grouping now and Emma Frost tries to help Rogue out by managing the trapped minds inside her. Omega Sentinel suddenly starts acting weirdly and unexpectedly attacks Emma. It is later revealed that she was possessed by a digitized version of Malice. As Wolverine and Beast senses abnormalities in the mansion atmosphere, Lady Mastermind reveals that she is manipulating their minds and allowed The Marauders to sneak attack on them. In the heat of the battle, a betraying Mystique shot and fatally wounded up her step daughter Rogue.

Other X-Men also soon fell under the attack by The Marauders, with Mystique on their side and the X-Mansion is blown. This is perhaps one of the bad fights for the X-Men, as most of them are injured from their previous battles or in shock at the discovery of their recent enemy. Cable is then ambushed by former X-Man and Apocalypse’s Horseman of Death, Gambit and Japanese mutant Sunfire, who attacked him brutally for almost no seeming reason. Cable managed to survive the initial heat of their combine attack and stops Sunfire but soon disappeared from the scene. The Marauders meets Mister Sinister in his secret hideout with the wounded body of Rogue, which the villain may have any use for.

Hulk was banished to space by The Illuminati to save the people of Earth from his rampage but he drifted to a harsh planet named Sakaar and become the ruler of Sakaar with Caiera as his queen, after defeating the notorious tyrant Red King of that planet. However, their joy on Sakaar was short lived when the people on Sakaar and the pregnant Caiera died in a powerful explosion of warp-core from the shuttle that brought Hulk on Sakaar.

Without even verifying who caused the accident, Hulk madly blames The Illuminati for this incident and travels back to Earth for vengeance with The Warbound at his side. On moon, Hulk battles and savagely beats down The Inhuman king Black Bolt and even his Quasi-Sonic powers were only good enough to knock the Hulk back for a while. Then he returned to Earth with Black Bolt's unconscious body, announcing New York City to be immediately evacuated.

The Walking Dead – The Calm Before | Comics

Lori was silently thinking about the time which was initially after the worldwide outbreak when she had sex with Shane at the side of a road while Carl was sleeping inside the back of the car. As she was worrying about Rick's situation, Shane comforts her by saying that everything will be alright in the end. However, she was still unsure on how to approach Rick about it when they finally reunites. Rick talks with her about the present but Lori still seems to have been indulged into her own thoughts for a while.

Glenn and Maggie finally ties the knot of holy matrimony in the prison cafeteria with Hershel’s blessings and approval for them. Everything in the prison compound seemingly starts running back to normal again. Even though she was uncertain about how to confront Rick about this, that night, Lori finally confesses the truth she’s been hiding from Rick all along about her and Shane, noting the possibility of her unborn child could be of Shane’s and Rick confirms that he already knows this but chose not to talk about it.

The Walking Dead – The Calm Before | Comics

Next day, Rick, Tyreese and Dale decide after a quick inventory check that they need more weaponry to defend themselves from The Governer and the Woodbury group if they are truly planning to attack on them. The group of Andrea, Axel, Glenn, Maggie, Michonne and Tyreese goes for a supply run and found the National Guard Station which the Woodbury forces were using till then and collects whatever they can along with a large army truck.

After gathering necessary supplies from there, the group blew up the station to make sure that the Woodbury men will not be able to collect anything from there. On their way back from the run, they met a few of Governor's men when they stopped at an abandoned Wal-Mart and engage in gun fight after one of them recognizes Glenn and shot at him. Back at the prison, Lori goes into labor and gives birth to a baby girl child who is named Judith.

In the middle of all that Dale got bit in the leg when he and Billy Greene went to siphon gas from the cars outside to run the generator they discovered earlier. To save him from infection and turning into a Walker, Rick quickly amputates his leg. Carol goes nuts as she loses grip over the reality of the world and there's enemy at the gates to lay waste of their new found home and take it away.

The Calm Before” is the seventh storyline of The Walking Dead monthly ongoing comic-book series, which collects issue #37-42 from the title and is published from Image Comics in 2007. Series creator and regular writer Robert Kirkman (Image United, Invincible) and artist Charlie Adlard (Judge Dredd, The X-Files) continues to chronicle the events of undead apocalypse just like the previous issues. “The Calm Before” perhaps is one of the slowest running arc of the entire series.

Welcome to The Tombs

Elements shown in the book like Carol becoming suicidal was never really adapted into the live-action adaptation of The Walking Dead TV Show on AMC. Instead, Carol's character lived and became one of the long-lived characters from the show till date. The story was preceded by “This Sorrowful Life” before and is followed by the epic “Made To Suffer” storyline which also belongs to the same series and marks a great reckoning for the characters of the series.

Fallen Son – The Death of Captain America | Comics

So, along with Daredevil, he went on to the S.H.I.L.E.D. custody with help from Doctor Strange and the Winter Soldier, to see if Steve Rogers is really dead or if there is a body. Ms. Marvel, Ares, Wasp, Wonder Man, Black Widow and The Sentry of the Mighty Avengers are called by Iron Man to inform about Logan’s infiltrating to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

To lessen his guilt over Rogers's unexpected death, Tony Stark offers a newly resurfaced Clint Burton to take Captain America's place to represent the hero to American people, as he is one of the few people who can effectively handle Captain America's shield but Burton, seeing the real picture behind the cause, refuses to do so and left Tony alone, who assisted him as Iron Man to apprehend two of the unregistered Young Avengers member.

Spider-Man also mourns at the grave of his beloved Uncle Ben about all the people he has lost over years including his best friend Harry Osborn, Captain Stacy and the love of his life; Gwen Stacy and now he'll have to deal with Cap's death too. Spidey got engaged with Rhino as a result of a silly misunderstanding and he stands tall against his opponent as he once saw Cap standing against The Incredible Hulk in the past.
