 More To Fear From Each Other: The Zombie Epic Continues August 24, 2010
K. Harris (Las Vegas, NV)
When I heard that AMC was going to produce a television series based on the zombie epic "The Walking Dead," I was both concerned and delighted. A bona fide classic in undead lore, "The Walking Dead" graphic novels are brutal and surprising--not really what I would picture for a basic cable TV show (the first season is slated for 6 episodes, we'll see if it goes beyond that). But AMC has produced terrific and prestigious shows like "Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad," so I'm pretty stoked to see what they do with this. Add Frank Darabont of "Shawshank Redemption" fame as the creative force behind the show, and we just might have a winner! In anticipation, I've gone back through the volumes of "The Walking Dead" to discover again the many pleasures that this series has to offer. Book Three collects the following two chapters.
"Chapter Five: The Best Defense" takes things in a new direction. Tracking a downed helicopter, Rick, Glenn and Michonne head off to look for survivors. What they discover instead is another encampment--a whole town fenced off and self sufficient! Perhaps less involving in the initial trek, the chapter picks up with the introduction of the town's "Governor." When our traveling trio discover that their new friend might not be an ally, it's already too late. Most notable for its extreme violence and brutality, both Rick and Glenn suffer severely at the hands of this new madman. Most of the material back at the prison is relatively uninvolving making this a weaker entry in the series. But the danger that Rick in Michonne find themselves in has very real consequences that set up a new storyline for the future. Essential, but somewhat unpleasant.
"Chapter Six: This Sorrowful Life" picks up with Rick, Glenn and Michonne held captive as the ruthless "Governor" tries to extract the location of their camp. Finding unexpected allies in the doctor, his young assistant, and a perimeter guard Martinez--a plot to escape has been hatched. The escape is exciting, but the real action comes when Michonne seeks retribution against the "Governor." In easily the series most disturbing sequences, let's just say Michonne means business! "The Walking Dead" has continually blurred the lines between "good" and "bad" and amped up the moral question of what makes a hero--and within this installment we see one of our protagonists exact horrifying vengeance! Returning to the prison, the camp has been overrun and our heroes must again face a zombie hoard. But in the midst of this, a very human betrayal is discovered and Rick is once again faced with the choice of murder. An action packed volume!
 Continuing a Great Zombie Series March 5, 2010
C. Bitondo (California)
The Walking Dead graphic novel series is an outstanding story for fans of the "Romero" school of the zombie apocalypse. There are no sprinting zombies or special infected undead from "Left For Dead" here. These are rotting creatures that seek human flesh. This story is a drama/horror of a group of survivors and progressively gets darker and darker. I've been following it for 3 years now and am fully entertained every time. I prefer the first issues/volumes for when the outbreak first happens, but these later ones are great also. This is NOT a series for young children. A great buy!
Holy @%#$ing @#$%! ...seriously April 23, 2009

((((((DO NOT READ THE OTHER REVIEWS UNLESS YOU WANT THE PLOT SPOILED))))) I really don't think there is a way to describe the amount of talent that goes into this book without dropping some F-bombs. but I'll try...
Speaking generally about the entire series so I don't give anything away... Lets just say that I honestly can't remember the last time words and images had this big of an impact on me. I work at a comic book store and I read everything. Honestly. My @$$ is kicked. This book has made the biggest impact on me than ANY other series I have read. YOU HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE THING. Kirman slows down the story from time to time but only if its necessary, and then pulls you right back in. You are in good hands. This book has EVERYTHING! If this review is the one that talks you into reading the series... your welcome =o) trust me.. you will want to thank me later.
It just keeps getting better and better!!! January 28, 2009

These WALKING DEAD books just keep getting better and better. After finishing BOOK #2 I was wondering if the series would get repetitive and boring. But I was dead wrong. Robert Kirkman just manages to keep things surprisingly unpredictable.
At the same time, it is amazing how intense the story get at certain times. I find it also very funny the way Kirkman appears to pay some nice homages now and then to George Romero. News people on a helicopter? Very nice, Mr. Kirkman. Now I cannot wait to put my hands on Book #4.
This series is truly amazing and I can only say that it puts to shame 90% of all zombie films out there.
This series is mandatory reading for any true zombie connoisseur!
