- This issue is reprinted in the Walking Dead, Volume 8: Made to Suffer trade paperback collection. It is also included the Walking Dead Compendium, Volume 1 trade paperback collection, the Walking Dead, Book Four hardcover collection, and the Walking Dead Omnibus, Volume 2 hardcover collection.
- This is the sixth and final chapter in the "Made to Suffer" storyline.
- Alice is the first character to appear in this issue.
- Patricia is the first victim in this issue.
- This issue is notable for its high body count, especially with long-term characters including Lori Grimes, Judith Grimes, Hershel Greene, Billy Greene, and Patricia.
- This issue marks the final appearance of The Governor. He is shot in the back of the head by Lilly Caul and then consumed by zombies.
- It is implied that Judith Grimes was crushed to death when Lori's body toppled over.
- Billy, Patricia, Alice, Hershel and the Governor all died from head shots so they would not have reanimated in the aftermath of the events from this issue. Lori Grimes and Judith Grimes however, likely did reanimate. However, the zombified versions of these characters are never seen or heard of again.
- What becomes of Lilly Caul following the events of this issue is unknown.
