The property has also been extended into a blockbuster game franchise, licensing business and ongoing publishing success.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2006Like many readers, I've been an on again/off again comicbook fan for many years... In the last couple of years (since the year 2000) I've returned to the fold, this time taking advantage of the many top-quality graphic novels out there, and Robert Kirkman's "Walking Dead" was one of the titles most frequently recommended to me since I started this reading spree. It lives up to the hype.
I just finished reading books 1-4, which collect the first twenty-four issues of the comic, and man, I can't wait for book #5 to come out. The series tells the story of a guy named Rick, a small-town cop and self-described Barney Fife who wakes up from a hospital stay to find the world changed around him -- it's zombie time, but zombie time with twist. The twist is that, unlike all the movies and TV shows we've all seen, "The Walking Dead" has a much longer, open-ended story arc -- Kirkman and co. don't have to wrap things up in a tidy, two-hour package, so there is space for the story to unfold at its own pace, with character development that's more prolonged and in-depth than the usual zombie flick allows. By the end of Book 4, the crisis has lasted about a year and Rick and his band of survivors are about twelve strong, having lost about an equal number of family and friends over the course of the story. It's a taut, grim, reflective plot line that keeps your interest and compels you to read. I, for one, hope this isn't just another one of those neat B&W comix that kind of fizzle out, but rather that Kirkman really gets the chance to do what he says he wants to do, and follow Rick's saga as far as he can. Anyway, I'm hooked. As long as he keeps writing this series, I'll be first in line to buy it. [copyright joesixpack @ slipcue.com ]
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2023Love the books so far. Way different from the show. This stupid thing just keeps making me write more words, even I have nothing else to say.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021This is another great installment, can't wait to continue the series. There are some major differences from the show, but the comics are so emotional and you can really see how they were able to get so much inspiration out of them for the TV series. It's sad to see Hershel naively trying to save zombies in case there is a cure and having to see him devolve into madness over the consequences.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024Book is good. Most books ordered from Amazon come damaged or bent. Just a heads up. If you are ocd like me and like stuff pristine, do not buy from shipped and sold by Amazon. Books will be damaged.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024My kids really enjoy these. Great price
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2023This is a great follow up to the beginning of the Walking Dead. It shows the effect of winter on the entire environment, something that should have been explored more in later volumes.

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2024A diferencia del show, esto muestra la realidad del mundo y que el escritor plasma bien 👍.
Recomiendo que tenga en cuenta este volumen.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2008The Walking Dead is a very mature story that takes a look at topics ignored by many of the other examples of the Zombie Survival Fiction genre. It shows how emotion leads to action in ways that can shock modern readers' sense of stability. It provides an interesting commentary on how thin the veneer of civilization is despite all attempts by the characters to cling to it. It lets the reader experience the loss of structure and provokes thoughts of "what would I do" beyond the typical "raid the gun store, grocery store and head for a cabin in the woods" mentality we've seen before.
The entire series thus far (1-7) has been top notch and a real example of how graphic novels can tackle stories that would take a 600 page novel to cover in detail.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read Worth The Money
I love the illustration style. The story following on from book 1, is just as compelling as the first.
I hate myself for reading it so fast, but its hard to put down. I may have to read it again.
Looking forward to reading book 3, 4, 5 ... and the others soon.
Recommended to anyone who enjoyed the WALKING DEAD tv series. The previous book.
Or any fans of the Zombie Horror Genre.

Fan des Walking Dead de la première heure, je continue à les dévorer comme au début, contrairement à la série qui m'a déçue.
Les premiers volumes se relisent avec nostalgie :-)
