Introducing the first eight volumes of the fan-favorite, New York Times Best Seller series collected into one massive paperback collection! Collects The Walking Dead #1-48. This is the perfect collection for any fan of the Emmy Award-winning television series on AMC: over one thousand pages chronicling the beginning of Robert Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning continuing story of survival horror- from Rick Grimes' waking up alone in a hospital, to him and his family seeking solace on Hershel's farm, and the controversial introduction of Woodbury despot: The Governor. In a world ruled by the dead, we are finally forced to finally start living.
I picked this up because I'm a huge fan of the show and I was curious. It's interesting to see the differences between the two - and there are many. The overall themes and moods are the same and many of the plot points are the same but there are major character differences.
I think really I would rate this 3.5 stars. While I enjoy the art, atmosphere and general plot, I felt the writing itself was a little lacking. Dialogue is many times cheesy or downright ridiculous. It's not horrible, just annoying in some places. I'm definitely going to keep reading the series, though and would definitely recommend to fans of the show.
