The Walking Dead: Bloodlines Issue# 2 Sins of the Saviors
Picking up immediately after his emotional reunion with Rick Grimes in the blood-soaked woods, sixteen-year-old Johnny is finally brought behind the steel gates of Alexandria. But peace is a luxury the dead world cannot afford.
Between page one and page two, years flash by. We jump over Johnny's late teens—years spent in grueling physical and mental discipline under the watchful eye of Morgan Jones. Here, Johnny learns to channel his deep-seated trauma, mastering Aikido, staff combat, and transforming his beloved country-singer guitar into a lethal, steel-reinforced weapon of defense.
Now in his early twenties, Johnny is thrust onto the frontlines of the most brutal conflict the allied communities have ever faced: The Savior War. This issue spans years of relentless, back-and-forth warfare against Negan's forces, testing Johnny's limits as a leader, a brother to Carl and Judith, and a son to Rick. By the final page, the dust settles, Negan is locked away in a basement cell, and a twenty-four-year-old Johnny stands tall—no longer just a survivor, but a battle-hardened veteran ready for the quiet before the next storm.
