    THE WALKING DEAD OMNIBUS: VOLUME 2 PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Cliff Rathburn,Charlie Adlard,Robert Kirkman | 560 pages | 27 Dec 2011 | Image Comics | 9781607065159 | English | Fullerton, United States The Walking Dead Omnibus: Volume 2 PDF Book Just as good as the first omnibus - if not better. Lance agrees, adding that they can't have people loosing faith in the officers and explains that this is why they need Michonne's help. Mercer wonders what happens if Pamela doesn't want to talk, but Rick assures him they won't give her a choice. Princess says they just picked her up, but they are getting to know each other; Lance says he will need to talk with her a little more. He wants her to defend the officers and prove they did nothing wrong, firmly adding that this is not a request. He says that this is his way of honoring her and that he is always thinking about her. Not much in the way of forgiveness and redemption. Glenn shoots their heads and Dexter is "arrested" because everyone thinks Dexter is the murderer. One of them, Sebastian , tries to convince the other to have sex, noting that they are far enough away for anyone to see. Pamela points out that some residents have much nicer home than others, and questions how they are going to determine who deserves to sleep in them. The mob are about to beat her up when Jerome throws himself on top of her to shield her from them. The nihilistic heart-wrenching ending hits brutal. Rick commends John's leadership, saying that he really turned things around and John replies that he's "all about making friends now".
