Introducing the first eight volumes of the fan-favorite, New York TimesBest Seller series collected into one massive paperback collection! Collects TheWalking Dead #1-48. This is the perfect collection for any fan of the EmmyAward-winning television series on AMC: over one thousand pages chronicling thebeginning of Robert Kirkman's Eisner Award-winning continuing story of survivalhorror- from Rick Grimes' waking up alone in a hospital, to him and his familyseeking solace on Hershel's farm, and the controversial introduction of Woodburydespot: The Governor. In a world ruled by the dead, we are finally forced tofinally 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.
