Absolutely fantastic.
Kirkman has a way of building up plot points and giving every tiny thing that happens a meaning; even if it doesn't seem that way at first, old plot points always sneak up on you and pay off.
There are big dramatic showdowns pretty frequently, due to the Compendium format, but each one still feels bigger than the previous because they build upon each other instead of being seperate stories, and the themes of justice and pondering the no-kill rule do a good job framing the whole story and giving everything the same theme.
There are a few story decisions Kirkman had made that I would do differently; but overall it's still great.
