I agree with you a 100% everything you just said sits true for me. Yes I am new to reading long term comics, I have read some in the past and have read some graphic novels here and there but never a full run comic story. I love the story and Rob gets me every time. Just when I think something is gonna happen I get thrown for a loop. Negan is not my favorite, he's grown on me very little though. I will always root for Rick he fuc*king kicks as*......And now I'm rooting for Carl. Something big is about to happen.
If there's some boardie award ceremony you need to win the award for most enthusiastic. I love talking to you about this stuff, YOU end up getting me more hyped up then I was !
