So, I'm 28 and I'm a total Nerd, but to be honest I just never got on the whole comic thing and can say I've never read a comic book in my life. I do however love zombies.
After watching The Walking Dead - Season 1 [DVD] I was totally hooked and like most of my interest, I look into them more and find out the whole series is based on a comic book, more specifically a long-running black-and-white one.
For the price of this compendium I thought I would give it a try and I honestly enjoyed reading through it. The stories are loosely the same, but go in different directions so reading/watching one doesn't ruin the other for you and I'm enjoying both as two separate media.
Since buying this I've brought 2, 3 and 4 and am only holding off on buying the next to prolong the experience so I can continue to enjoy the Walking Dead for longer.
So if like me you've never read comic books before but were tempted after watching the TV series, I'd say give it a go, I'm almost certain you won't regret it!

This is the first comic/graphic novel I have read, I am very interested in zombies and read on a forum somewhere that The Walking Dead was the best zombie fiction there is, so I decided to check it out. I have since read all the current books and cant wait for book 5 to be released. These books are amazing, the dialogue is very well written and the stories and characters feel very real, after reading these books you will understand why they decided to make a TV series based on the books. If you buy and read these books you will not be disapointed.

Without a doubt, one of the finest comic books of recent years. Intelligently written, believable, realistic and thought provoking, if you're a fan of more serious, grown up comic books then this is for you, even if you do not like horror or zombies it is worth giving a try.
Kirkman is a genius and nicely accompanied by talented artists (though I do prefer Adlrad's work from issue #7 onwards) and this book is only the tip of the iceberg. Containing the Days Gone By and Miles Behind Us arcs, compiling volumes 1 and 2 it sets the stage for later events and worse things are always just around the corner.

Zombies never looked better
High quality, glossy pages in large hardcover. If you want the definitive Walking Dead experience and don't mind paying a little extra, this is for you.

I would recommend the walking dead to anyone who has an interest in graphic novels. What distinguishes this apart from a lot of other comics is that all the characters are well... Read more
