I would walk by this comic at first and I kick myself for it now, because when I bought four trades of it, I read them all in two days. I'm of course talking about The Walking Dead by once again…Robert Kirkman(Invincible). I'll be talking about the first Trade paperback entitled Days Gone Bye.
As always Robert Kirkman's writing in this book is outstanding, at first I thought "ugh a zombie comic? No way that could be good." I will allow three peope to hit me really hard for thinking that. First off let me say this is far from a horror comic, I mean yes there are zombies in it and they want to eat people, but as you would see if you read it, this comic is more about character progression, that is of course if they live long enough.
In the book ex-police officer Rick Grimes wakes up from a gunshot-induced coma, from there he finds himself in a new dangerous world where flesh eating zombies outnumber the living. Later hearing that people were told to head to bigger cities for protection he figures that his wife and child headed to Atlanta to be with her parents, so he finds away to the police station borrows a car and heads out.
From here on Rick finds himself in some disasterous situations, the story throws you some interesting twist and turns as he finds a camp of living people to take him in. How will they react? Will the living prove to be more of a danger than the zombies?
In my opinion this story is a nice break from all other comics I read. I still love them, but it's nice to read something alot different sometimes.
"In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living."
thinking already..
