Well being a filthy trade waiter, I never had any problems with getting the final volume.
Apart from the obvious spoiler of knowing it was the last issue, that worked pretty well for me. Yes, it didn't have enough Zombies, yes there was too much speechifying, and yes, the characters just tell you how they feel and the reason they are doing things rather than it evolving naturally. And yes, these actions don't always feel consistent. But this is TWD, we expect that all by now.
But an optimistic and hopeful, if not entirely, ending and humanity on the up is what I wanted.With a series this size, you'll never get everything tied in a bow but I would have thought at least one scene showing new procedures for dealing with death given that they say several times that "x has never seen a walker" (maybe I missed it).
