OK, I could be wrong, never having read any zombie comix ( comix is the wrong word, but graphic novel? Does that describe an incomplete collection of separate issues?). But I'm just assuming zombie comix were pretty much like most action comix, movies, novels, and television shows where it is commonplace for characters to witness the most disturbing things and experience fallout for only twenty or so scripted seconds or less: "Oh my God that was terrible!" "Yeah, but it's over now." "You're right. We have to move on." In action fiction of most media people get over emotional trauma even faster than bullet wounds. This gives up the first 48 volumes of the comic series You can read this compendium or just read them one at a time or there are in-between sized volumes to read. It is a very in-depth series that is worth taking your time through it. Lots of small details in the art especially. it is a gritty style that I am not normally a fan of but in a zombie apocalypse I think I'd be hard-pressed to find better.

I like the concept. I like the dark no-one-is-safe atmosphere. The art is fittingly bleak and gritty, if not particularly inspired. And also, they will find soon enough that zombies may be deadly, but men are evil. Zombies aren’t guilty of their actions, men are quite aware of theirs.Before recent wars and criminal adventures and subsequent psycho-medical research and publicity, PTSD was all but ignored by zombie comix. I loved comparing the two. Some of my favorites here I don't like in the tv version For example I love Andrea in the comics but nearly despise her in the series-although I do like the actress). But bottom line, there is a lot that can be new. The Walking Dead Compendiums are a great way to own all of the comics in the series with four giant books. These are easily read as huge graphic novels and feature the same story as the individual issues. Tony Moore is an American comic book artist, whose work consists mainly of genre pieces, most notably in horror and science fiction, with titles such as Fear Agent, The Exterminators, and the first six issues of The Walking Dead. So what is it that makes zombie stories so popular? Why do people love books like this one, or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies or World War Z? Why do movies like Shaun of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead and even Resident Evil get people so excited? It certainly isn't because of the zombies, although it is always fun to see the special effects improve.

The original pitch for the comics was a follow-up to horror legend George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead.But, it was suggested to develop an original concept that spawned the modern story we know and love today.

This also gave a nice not so little tangible form to a beloved show, an event really, that I love watching with my other brother. Makes me happy. Some spoilers for both the show and the graphic novel herein. I tried not to include too many. You have been warned.)

Many thanks to my brother Michael for knowing I would enjoy this, and I look forward to watching the AMC television adaptation.Characters would be terrorized by zombies, displaced from their homes by zombies, see friends, loved ones, and coworkers die and then become zombies, but with the exception of some tears and wailing there were no real emotional consequences to zombie-related events that would have to be profoundly traumatic. The Walking Dead series is based on the same-titled comic book created byRobert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. No one could have predicted the success of the series, which is the most successful comic-to-series adaptation ever. Consider this: the human body cannot tolerate constant adrenaline. Similarly, the average reader is not interested in persistent drama! When there is absolutely no down-time, you cannot make an impression. It's why popular music structure is as it is - you can't have constant choruses because it would be tedious and boring. As such, I found the constant action and drama in The Walking Dead rather droll. He also provides us with a look at some of the ethical problems that arise from a world where the dead outnumber the living. In nearly every zombie story ever written, the living immediately start killing the zombies, but is that the right choice to make? We don't know all the facts. We don't know what caused this outbreak, whether it can be cured, or even whether the people affected might just get better. We just start taking head shots in ignorance, but might it not be worth it to try and learn something about these "monsters?" [2]

Charles "Charlie" Adlard is a British comic book artist, known for his work on books such as The Walking Dead and SavageA good thing about The Walking Dead, if you want to enjoy it in comic books along with TV series is that both storylines are different, sure there will be connecting points here and there, and you will meet the same names of characters (in some cases) but they aren’t the same persons, and trust me, while this is my first compendium in the comic book’s storyline, I have been watching the TV series since its own beginning, and both stories are different, both truly great, but different, so don’t afraid of spoilers in any of both formats, since the events are developed quite different. You may think of the “other storyline” of any format, comic books or TV series, as “the road not taken”. Why I said "yes": Show is great (which was also recommended from above mentioned friend) and pure realization that I need to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to entertainment. ((You mean I can't read dirty romance novels and period pieces for life?)) And of course, it will always be about that one Capistrano Birds song. This volume is so good that Daryl's absence wasn't even conspicuous, even though I missed his presence. What I am saying is, I loved this huge ass volume. It was everything I expected it to be and more. Everything I look for in a source material. This graphic novel has eluded me for so long, I've been meaning to read it for such a long time, so this felt like homecoming to me. In more ways than one. The problem with The Walking Dead is that it's boring and badly written. Nearly all of the characters are either shallow, plain or outright annoying, especially the women (except Andrea). Dialogue is awkward and clunky, riddled with cliches, worn phrases and forced exposition. It just sounds unnatural, which is *pretty* problematic for a comic that centers around conversations and social relations.
