The Walking Dead

The following is a guest review by Bill.


Who doesn't like zombies?

Well, if you don't you're a moron.

They're loads of fun. They're like ants in this book...They're everywhere.

I am admittedly late in jumping on this book. I have seen it but I never pulled the trigger. Until my LCS accidentally ordered a pile of the first trade. He didn't want them and couldn't return them. So he cut the price in half just to get rid of them.

So what idiot passes on a five dollar TPB. Certainly not this idiot.

The really cool thing about this book is that it takes it's time. It's showing what the world would be like in a world full of zombies.

There's none of the standard three act crap...

Act 1: The Trigger...how it all happened...you won't find any of that here. We still don't know. And I don't care. It isn't what the book is about. We may find out, we may not. It doesn't matter.

Act 2: Figuring out what the problem and how to fix it. In this book the problem is surviving...that's it. And it's not easy. Don't get attached to anybody because you could turn the page and that guy or gal will be dead. It's cool as hell.

Act 3: Fix the problem. There isn't a magic formula to set everything right. The survivors just have to deal with it.

None of the above crap is getting in the way of a really cool comic.

Do yourself a favor and check it out.
