An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead
to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months, society has crumbled:
There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. Rick
Grimes finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying future. A
couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired a shot and only
ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family, he must now sort through all
the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son. In a world ruled by
the dead, we are forced to finally begin living.
I like the idea of the Walking Dead graphic novel series. The set-up is pretty standard, but the scope and depth of feeling helps set the series apart. However, the story was so formulaic and sexist that I'm not sure I want to continue reading them. Why bother creating so many female characters if all they do is complain and get killed. Was really hoping for something better.
