After the last volume, it was no surprise that this one would seem anticlimatic. And I did find the pace well-handled in general, although I preferred some things (like Carl's development) as they were done in the TV series (actually, since I hadn't been able to read the comics in a while and still went on with the show, I had a bit of trouble remembering who was dead and who wasn't in this version). 
 In any case, am really interested in seeing what all of this will lead to...
