The beautiful thing about this comic is that it plays on the ultimate survival technique….FEAR. It makes you human. By far some of the best writing i’ve seen in a while.

This is probably my favorite book being released now. This comic is much more than a conventional Romero knockoff zombie flick put to paper. The black and white artwork is absolutely stunning and helps to create a sense of despair that runs throughout the series. Robert Kirkman is one of my favorite writers and he’s really at his finest here. As others have mentioned the characters are quite believable much of the time and for the most part not frustratingly idiotic like the characters of so many horror flicks. As you read The Walking Dead, you will likely grow attached to Kirkman’s characters. He makes you empathize with their trials and tribulations. The way in which the author makes you feel energized by the group’s successes and feel pained by their losses is an amazing achievement. If you pick up only one new book this year let it be this one.
