I'll give you a hint...There are zombies there.
Part of the enjoyment of reading from primarily one groups point of view is that level of mystery you get. You don't know what's happening in Paris, London or Russia because Rick and his crew doesn't know either.
So wait you know there are zombies there but Rick and his crew from the actually story line don't? Are you holding out?
, you know what I mean. Rick and everyone else more than likely believes the epidemic is everywhere. Sure they can hold on to hope, but in a zombie infested world, hope is overrated.
, just kidding with you. I really think 100 could be a stepping stone for the series to get even better or dip into utter nothingness.
