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. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally begin living. This volume follows our band of survivors on their tragic journey in search of shelter. Characters live and die as they brave a treacherous landscape littered with packs of the walking dead.
WrensReads Review:
So the art changed in this book, and I am pretty sure the rest of the series is drawn this way. It is really something. I wish I had enough talent in me to draw.
Welcome to a version of season 2 of The Walking Dead AMC. Where the barn is full of walkers, Maggie is annoying as ever (she gets better, don’t worry), and Hershel believes that everything is just a phase and a cure will be drawn up soon.
Maggie has a lot more siblings, Otis isn’t cutely over weight, Shane is already dead, Tyreese has a daughter and she has a boyfriend (that got awkward) and Carl was still shot.
Maggie is as forward and annoying as ever…
I liked this version more than the show. No. I liked it differently than the show. I liked Hershel in the comics more. He was a little more vocal about his opinions than passive. You know, the strong silent type.
What I did miss about it though is the epic walker-take-over. The group splits at the end for reasons. But they find a type of salvation at the end which opens up the third volume for lots of activities — and probably lots of deaths.
