The Walking Dead Comics Vol.6: “This Sorrowful Life” Story Explained

[@HausOfGoosebumps]

The group wearing riot gear looked so cool, i wish they had used it more especially considering how beneficial it is to not being bitten

[@Swell-Films]

100%, I was always shocked how little they used it in the show

[@formally727]

while bite resistant, I feel like it'd also not be worth wearing on runs where they would've seen most of the zombies because of the Georgian heat. Though definitely could've provided useful for short in-n-out missions

[@-Kc1937-]

​@@formally727it's not that hot bro

[@jamesbodnarchuk3322]

How did those walkers end up with body armour?

[@formally727]

@@-Kc1937- Living in south carolina, it certainly is. It's already given to be 90-120 during the summer either way, now imagine your in full length clothing, including a facemask on that whilst moving quickly whether that'd be from walkers, looting, etc. You're gonna start feeling that. Might not be right now, though it could definetly get you caught.

[@Change--Eleven--11]

This makes me think that If TV Michonne did what her comic version did to the Governor, that would definitely make it difficult for Rick and his group to trust her since she was already on thin ice. They probably would've went through completely with the trade request.

[@Swell-Films]

Yeah that’s an interesting thought honestly, I think you’re probably right.

[@kingdevin_]

This chapter was one of my favorite for many reasons especially because of Michonne vs Governor conflict and her torture of him. The novel for example goes into a way better explanation of The Governor’s torture which I enjoyed more from his perspective. As for the show, I enjoyed Michonne vs Governor for the character development and emotional factors played bringing up Penny. When I first read the comics, Martinez’s betrayal caught me completely off guard. But I can’t wait until the next part! Btw, Otis didn’t go missing, he got partially devoured while the walkers broke into the prison. Rick saw him as a walker and put him down. It was very brief and it took me until my second reading to realize. Also, have a great day! 👍🙂

[@Swell-Films]

Oh jeez you’re right Otis body is shown this volume, I can’t beleive I missed that, I’ll definitely mention it in the next volume, thanks for letting me know

[@kingdevin_]

You’re welcome, I figured I’ll let you know 👍 keep up the great work!

[@alanodomino]

0:50 I will definitely always remember that smile as the turning point in the Governer's "friendship" with Rick's group as be reveals that "we're feeding them strangers"

[@Christian_H3rnand3z]

It's a great day when Swell posts a new video. *But it's an even better day when it's a video about the og Walking Dead comics!!!!!* Michonne really should've made sure the Governor stayed down. She should've gutted him after she was done........ *using the other tools.* There was no proper doctor and it'd still be a slow and very painful death. I also honestly forgot that Rick needs to eventually strike Martinez down with the rv.

[@Swell-Films]

Haha I appreciate you watching! Yeah it’s a bit silly she didn’t finish the job, but to be fair he was so mangled I think she honestly thought it would be much sweeter if he suffered like that instead of ending his pain

[@Christian_H3rnand3z]

@Swell-Films True.

[@TravisWard00]

I do like how the original comic was so much different then the show in some ways gave it its own feeling, alot of the stuff between the governor and michonne was probably just to brutal for amc to show.

[@M40X]

I personally preferred the comic when it came to michonnes vengeance against the governor. It showed how brutal the walking dead comics were and things like that never really happened in the show

[@cStatE95]

I gotta say michonne torture of the governor is the most brutal thing out of this series whole. and i mean everything from this franchise tv the spinoffs games. Like i have to skip it sometimes 😅. This was kirkman craziest idea

[@angelvaldez9291]

It was brutal and I loved every minute of it showing in the end everyone is in the comic is still human and vulnerable

[@Koupip]

thank you for making these videos, i know they don't get as much views as your other videos but i like revisitin the series with you makes me feel like when the comic book was still coming out and after every volume id talk with my friends about it its awesome lol

[@Swell-Films]

Haha I appreciate you watching. These are definitely some of my favourite videos to make so I’m glad some enjoy them

[@IrishSpuds6]

Babe wake up Ty Swell posted

[@jackmarshall3255]

I’m awake oh wait you weren’t talking about me. 😬

[@GonkBand]

Great vid as always! It’s always a treat when one drops because I’m a volume ahead of you (reading the deluxe single issues) and it’s always interesting seeing how other people interpret certain frames or character emotions within the comic. Keep up the great work and can’t wait for the next two 🥳

[@Swell-Films]

Haha I appreciate you watching!

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

Ah the Governor Arc, one of the best in the series.

[@MasonRiguedell]

I love your videos Man, you put so much work in to your videos ❤

[@MasonRiguedell]

No am not a bot

[@Swell-Films]

Thanks so much I appreciate you watching!

[@peabuddie]

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into researching, writing and producing these videos. They are so entertaining.

[@Swell-Films]

Thanks so much I appreciate you watching :)

[@regslime2411]

I always loved Twd comic universe including TWD games because of how much more darker it is as in like it shows more apocalypse reality and what you would expect in a zombie apocalypse and more realistic things and has a way better focus on the groups struggle to survive rather than the tv show.

[@jackleith3502]

Tight. Got my watching lined up for tonight’s building sesh 😎

[@foxinapothecary]

omg a new one! a new one! Im so happy youre continuing the series, I love these. Thank you very much, i found your channel last week and i immediately subbed Thank you again for creating these!

[@Swell-Films]

Haha I appreciate you watching!

[@abramsullivan7764]

Otis never went missing. Rick found him with his guts out in the front entrance implying he got attacked off-panel so Rick put him out of his misery.

[@Swell-Films]

Yeah I did miss Otis’ body, I’ll mention it in the next video, Andre and dale just mention he was missing

[@nick_4972]

I've been rereading this series and just finished volume 6 just in time for this video. This and volume 5 are just brutal man. Especially when Michonne tortures The Governor. Michonne really fucks him up.

[@Swell-Films]

Seriously, I get why it was watered down for the show but it’s really one of the most memorable moments from the early issues

[@KingNigelOfTheKookaburraCreek]

You should keep making these, this format works, love it.

[@Ryaan80]

Love your input and analysis on the comics. And your way of telling the story. Hopefully you can post the Comic related videos more often 🙏

[@Swell-Films]

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely try to get them out consistently!

[@killerchaos0346]

glad to catch a video so early

[@captainace04]

Same

[@caitlynsmith6896]

I love these so much i really hope you keep them coming

[@GreenLord128]

The 8 novel series by Kirkman and Jay Bonasinga go into more detail on governor in the 1st four and is worth reading. The last couple, not so much

[@mason-en3ur]

christmas come early with tonight’s video

[@Erwyn_]

Always a good day when ty swell upload 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@aaronpasetti]

Wow idk what to say about this but I have to say this was another great video that you made! Me personally I like this issue a lot for one Rick hitting Martinez with the RV was AWESOME and everyone reaction when Rick didn’t have his right hand just imagine in 2012 of season 3 they did that. Listen what Michonne did to the Governorhe really deserve it like all of it he was too far gone. I do like both of the Governors but me personally the show is better. You know when Rick hit Martinez with the RV it just shows who you can trust or believe in. In my opinion when the group went back to Atlanta in season 5 idk why but I liked when Rick was in the police car when he hit Bob if you think about it Rick was a police officer and it made more sense with car he drove and who he was fighting. Really you did another great job! I’m ready for the next video!

[@Swell-Films]

Thanks man! I think I agree honestly, Rick putting down a cop instead of Martinez is a great remix for his character

[@aaronpasetti]

@ no problem and anytime. I feel like in my opinion the comics should of kept going or should of done a spin off for example alpha or my favorite Hershel farm because we saw it in the telltale game maybe a nice comic book about the farm when Lee left.

[@blizard9701]

I love this series. I hope for more to come! :D

[@MikeLewis1964]

[@squrillcreek]

[@skullskills7772]

[@asa3666]

Can you explain the abandoned military base in The Walking Dead Daryl Dixon last episode

[@drewupton4880]

This prison arc was so dark and brutal

[@CalpiPapayaWinna]

I know, it's a bit late, but Otis actually died in this volume. When Rick's group comes back to find prison yard overrun by zombies and Glenn crashes his car. There Rick is almost grabbed by a half eaten zombie who was in fact Otis

[@B1_1_9_7_5]

Swag 😎 awesome content

[@the_therapychopper77]

dam

[@cameronfaulkner8359]

can you do these more often

[@Swell-Films]

I can definitely try my best! They require quite a bit more editing than other videos so it can be tough to get them out consistently

[@bleath2111]

Where is vol 7-10 after this it jumps straight to vol 11 😂

[@Swell-Films]

Haha yeah they’re coming, I did volume 11 just for fun under a different title before I started the series from the beggining

[@AnakinSkywalker-u5b]

This version of the story, the comic Governor, and this entire arc sucked hard. Thank god the TV show's Seasons 3 & 4 were written by someone competent. I hope we never get an adaptation of this garbage comic. It would be a waste of money and time for the animatiors.

[@MikeLewis1964]

Thanks bro enjoying the reread
