The Georgia heat clings to the asphalt as Rick Grimes stands stranded on the deserted King County highway, his car sputtering its last breath. Dust motes dance in the shafts of light piercing the abandoned church ahead, an oasis of eerie order amidst the rotting chaos. The altar glitters, candles scenting the air, a stark contrast to the scattered walkers outside. Rick, weary and desperate, grips his Colt Python, his blue eyes scanning the pristine interior for any sign of life.
