The Walking Dead, Compendium 1 (The Walking Dead Compendium Edition #1) 
In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living. With The Walking Dead #1-48, this compendium features more than one thousand pages chronicling the start of Robert Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning story of zombie horror, from Rick Grimes waking up alone in a hospital, his band of survivors seeking refuge on an isolated farm and the controversial introduction of Woodbury despot, The Governor.
My actual rating is 4.5 stars.It's unfair to compare the comics to the TV series. The two are very different from each other and I am coming into it from the wrong side, having watched and fallen in love with the show first and then discovering the comics. However, comparisons are inevitable as they still share so much in common. They have the same basic plotline's, the same locations, and a lot of the same characters (even if these characters can sometimes be very different). I admit that I do
I knew it was different than the TV show but HOLY COW. It's so different. They are basically just something that has a few same character names and there happens to be zombies. That's about all the similarities. They are more like cousins instead of siblings. (Hopefully that make's sense to you, it did to my brain.) I liked this so much more than I actually thought I would. Everyone is more intense in the comics. The Governor is so much more psycho than he is in the show. He's a literal monster.

I was going to write reviews of the first three volumes of this series, but I decided to save my creative juices (and they are so little) for the compendium. So here we go...First off, a general overview: The story concerns a local cop, Rick, who wakes in the hospital to discover the world has gone to hell. All the people have been turned into the walking dead. (I know, overtones of 28 Days Later, but go with it.) We then follow him as he struggles to find out what has happened, where all the
If you watch The Walking Dead aka stalking Daryl Dixon, throw any notions you may have about the show paralleling the comics right out the fucking window. This version does not have this: Or that: I may have even missed this a tiny bit: It does have this: And that: Although our friend the Governor on the show is rated G compared to the comic version.Now take all the sick, twisted, and fucked up things that happen on the show and multiply the fucked-upness by a gazillion. Throw in some
I cannot believe the dark places this graphic novel delves. No one, and I mean no one, is safe in this ongoing saga. It takes place after the dead have risen and destroyed everything and follows a handful of often rotating survivors as they try to get by in a frightening new world. It starts out a little slow as everything is set up but once it gets going I didn't want to put it down.It is less focused on the zombies than its core of characters and their interaction and relationships but there
I am a fan of the show, a serious fan. I found myself looking for something to hold me over between show/seasons so I looked into the books. I'm not a big fan of many comics so I went for the novels on Woodbury and the Gov. Oh my, if you haven't read this get to them, fast. I finished those 6 books quickly so time to try the graphic. I should have known these aren't a best seller for nothing. I am now officially a Robert Kirkman fan.This is what a zombie book should be, gross, bloody, gore plus
