Comic Book Reviews: The Walking Dead

September 5, 2005

If you don’t already know, I really enjoy a good zombie story. I’ve never been a big comic book fan, but this series is one I’ll make an exception for.
The Walking Dead Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye
The Walking Dead Vol. 2: Miles Behind Us
The Walking Dead Vol. 3: Safety Behind Bars

It’s about time someone made a good zombie story. As much as I enjoy the “classic” zombie films I am annoyed by the rampant stupidity of the characters. In these books the characters do some foolish things but you can more easily see their personal thought process versus a lame plot device. “What nobody’s been eaten by a zombie for a while? Well I better wander off my myself…”

And unlike other comic books where the main characters wear capes and spandex you’ll see no brightly colored caped crusaders here. Everyday people drawn in a simple black and white, very stylish I think.

But don’t take my word for it check them out! You may have to be logged into amazon for this link to work: Look at the first few pages of Volume 1!

I also see that the forth book is on it’s way!
The Walking Dead Vol. 4: The Heart’s Desire

As much as I’d like to post an individual review of every book I read, it’s just not feasible. I’ve already turned into an internet creature and if I hope to maintain some semblance of a life outside of my computer I must draw the line somewhere.
But I’ll continually update this page with Books and Authors I think are worth your time to read. Of course this is my own terribly biased opinion so use your discretion.

Authors:
John Ringo ~ Military Science Fiction writer.

Murray Leinster (William Fitzgerald Jenkins) ~ Credited with the invention of parallel-universe stories.

Clifford A. Pickover Writes on a variety of intellectually stimulating topics.
