First and foremost a comic creator, Kirkman has seen groundbreaking success in the adaptation of his comic book titles into major franchises in all forms of content. In 2010, his Eisner award winning series, The Walking Dead, was developed into an AMC television series. It has become a worldwide phenomenon as the highest-rated basic cable drama of all time and is the #1 show on television among the coveted 18-49 demo. The property has also been extended into a blockbuster game franchise, licensing business and ongoing publishing success.

He is also executive producer of the AMC series Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics, and the Korean pre-apocalyptic drama, Five Year. Kirkman’s popular demonic-exorcism comic, Outcast, was adapted, produced and airs on Cinemax.
For the big screen, Kirkman will produce Invincible based on his long-running popular comic book. The project will be written, directed and produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg for Universal Pictures. Other credits include AIR featuring Norman Reedus and Academy Award nominee, Djimon Hounsou.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2016Easily the best ongoing series available in my honest opinion. This series (Graphic Novels) is consistently throwing jabs at your heart and mind. You will NOT regret purchasing this, just make sure you start from Volume 1. There is honestly not a bad volume in the series and the story and pace never slows gets boring or repeats itself. It also will not let go of your heart or mind. Many times you will find yourself thinking to yourself, asking..."What would I do?"
If you or a friend consider yourselves to be even the slightest bit of a "fan" of either the AMC TV series "The Walking Dead" or "Fear The Walking Dead" you will not want to miss reading this ongoing series. It is a very easy read, yet not "dumb'ed down" if you will, in the least. I can't put it down. Be aware though, just like the TV series, this is NOT for young readers.
Robert Kirkman...What a plot, what a story...pure genius!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2020The beauty and awe these comics strike you with is bewildering. All this deserves is perfect. The Walking Dead will make you addicted to it, just like heroin, and it will be awesome. This is so good. If you haven’t read them then you are missing out on quality.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2022I love the walking dead comic. Fun to read.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016Another riveting chapter in the ongoing serial, NO TURNING BACK also serves to sort of reinforce what has become the central theme in Kirkman's saga: tumultuous and tragic events only become that much worse when emotion and anger dictate action. Throughout the series, we've seen hotheaded fury and short-sighted desire for revenge end with horrible repercussions for the innocent, or sometimes all parties involved.
This installment finds a quiet moment or two to deal with grief, a complicated emotion. Some of these characters have been carrying it around with them for years, wondering if the pain will ever lessen. Kirkman seems to have been waiting for some time to finally have the characters express themselves on this, and his dialogue feels honest and unstilted.
Sigh. The next six months is gonna be a tough wait.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2016I guess this is more of a review on the volumes than this particular volume. This volume itself was as good as expected and I had no problems with it. However, being my first volume (I typically read the individual issues) I am a bit disappointed. When I got to the end, I was looking for more until I borrowed an individual issue from a friend and realized it isn't broken up into the individual issues but that it combines them as one large issue. I know I'm getting most of the same content sans the reader comments of the previous issue at the end. So really it's a mental thing. Would enjoy it more if it were broken up so I better understood where I was at.
TLDR; if you like the satisfaction of completing an issue and knowing you are close to the end, just buy issues. If you prefer it to be all one continuous flow; get the volume. Still a great read, just didn't know what I was getting myself into.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016As I am currently reading Volume 25 of this book series I am obviously a fan of the comics. I don't want to say anything about the plot, but the book continues the same wild ride as everything before. I am always worried about the characters, as each turn of the page could lead to another favorite character meeting their end. When I was a child I read and collected comic books religiously, but eventually fell out of the hobby as I got older. Even now I still don't read comics, with the exception of The Walking Dead. I don't know what it is about this series that sets it apart from all others, but whatever it is it's got me hooked! I can't wait to see where the story goes next!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016I'm addicted to all of these. They are brilliantly written and digitized. You really can't go wrong with the way Amazon gets the digital copy to you and the quality of the digital product is impeccable.
As for the actual document is almost exactly if not better than the real thing. The only reason I can see to buy the physical copy would be to keep on your bookshelf.

Since, the next compendium will be out after 20 volumes, have to be happy with the individual volumes. Walking dead is an all time best running series!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just keeps getting better and better
I wanted to continue to read twd without waiting till oct for the fourth compendium. I was a bit skeptical as of the price being 20 bucks for one vol but I was not dissapointed. The book is made out of good quality
Now on to the story
After finishing issue 144 I ordered vol 25. Tensions are rising and as a result of that it has the members of ricks community questioning his ability to lead. Afraid for not only lydias but also carl rick sends them to the hilltop with andrea to wait things out.
