The Walking Dead: Book Three, pages 61-90

Rick, Michonne, and Glenn make it to Woodbury at last.  They look around and realize the place looks dead, like no one else is there.  There are several zombies nearby, and they wonder if their best bet is to use one of them to mask their own smell in order to get around.  Suddenly, bright spotlights shine on the ground and they hear a voice telling them to get on the ground.  The zombies are all shot, and the voice tells them to walk toward them and give up their weapons.  The man who takes their weapons explains that it's for their protection, and introduces himself as Martinez.  He begins taking them to "the big man," but he is already on his way.  His name is The Governor, and he begins giving Rick, Michonne, and Glenn the tour of Woodbury.  He says the town has 40 people and 4 blocks of fenced in land.  Rick wonders where he's taking them, and he simply says that there's a fight tonight.  They make it to a huge arena in which several zombies are chained to poles.  The Governor explains that they put live people in the arena as entertainment for the citizens of Woodbury.  He says they use strangers to feed the zombies in order to keep them docile.  He explains that the couple in the helicopter is getting chopped up to feed the zombies after the fight.  Michonne calls him sick, and he threatens to put a bullet in her.  He wraps up their conversation since the fight is about to start.  The Governor notices their weapons and suits and realizes they must have some camp nearby. As the fight continues, The Governor and his cronies hold down Rick, Michonne, and Glenn and threaten to do nasty things unless they give answers about their camp.  To make his point very clear, he swings his large knife onto Rick's wrist, cutting off his entire hand.  Michonne springs into action, pinning The Governor onto the table.  She leans into his face and bites off his ear.  The Governor holds back his assistants, telling her the only pain that will come upon her will be from himself.  The Governor takes Rick to his medic before he bleeds out.  He wants Rick alive at all costs so he can get the answers he needs.  The medic is obviously not a fan of The Governor and does not support what he did to Rick.

Michonne is chained against the wall, having a conversation with herself about how she's just not strong enough to break the chains.  The Governor walks in and orders his assistant, Bruce, to take Michonne's pants off and tie her legs to separate walls.  He orders Bruce to leave and tells Michonne he is going to try to humiliate her every day until she figures out a way to kill herself.
