I actually liked All Out War (since I read most of it in trade, it didn't feel as drawn out), but the new direction is fantastic. It's still a zombie survival story, but we're seeing the post-apocalyptic world growing and developing along with the characters now, which is great. We didn't need another stretch of Rick % Co. on the run or finding a new community. Having them BE the community now? Very nice.

It was nice to see how so many of the mains from pre-127 are doing, although Carl's got a terrible fashion sense. Hopefully Magna and her group stick around, because I really like her as a second generation Rick.
