For Every Zombie Fan One of Kirkman best Books besides Invincible. If your a zombie fan or just enjoy the genre The Walking Dead is for you. 5 out of 5 stars!!
Best Zombie Series Ever This is the finest zombie horror series I have ever read. The depth of characterization is remarkable and the quality of the art is consistently good. This volume hardly contains any zombie action but I still could not put the book down and had to read it in one sitting. Start with the first volume in this series and read them in order. You won't be disappointed.
A Cinematic experience in comics Can't really say anything bad about this series. I've been catching up with the larger volumes (Books 1, 2, and 3) and I had to pick this mini volume up because I am hooked and wanted to continue the story immediately. All of the characters are fully developed human beings with real problems. Excellent pacing and new innovative twists in the storyline at almost every turn. Can this series possibly keep getting better? I hope so...also, has anyone noticed the artwork in the this volume? In several panels, the humans themselves begin to appear as zombies more and more (sunken, black eye sockets) - very effective symbolic imagery!
Dead Assome You must read these!!!! Pictures so detailed!!! WOW and another book to go along with this is " Day by Day Armageddon" by J.L. Bourne This is also a great book. This Comic books have a great story line that it is very hard to put down.
Series is, if it's possible, improving. Robert Kirkman, The Walking Dead: The Calm Before (Image, 2007)
Kirkman has finally achieved one of the goals he set for himself at the beginning of this series. Yeah, it's always been more about the people than the zombies, but The Calm Before is the book where the zombies are truly window dressing, despite one memorable scene where they take center stage; this is much less a book about the death and devastation of the world around the survivors than it is about their life. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the zombies, but it's here where we've gotten to know the characters well enough that Kirkman could write an entire book without a zombie in it and we'd still be riveted to the pages. (Given the way The Calm Before ends, this is entirely possible in book eight.) This has been a strong series all along, and it's just getting stronger as time goes on. ****
