Lines are crossed that will affect everyone. This compendium was exciting because characters such as Abraham, Eugene, Rosita etc were introduced, as well as those who reside at Alexandria. And then towards the end we get to meet Jesus and those over at Hilltop! And Negan is mentioned!

There were so many characters, cardboard cutouts, that faded in and out of the story. I could barely remember names of some of these people - oh, no worries, he/she is dead now! WHEW! It's difficult to review these comics as they're so fast moving and so much happens!! That's one of the major positives of The Walking Dead - it doesn't really get stagnant. Even when the survivors settle down in one location for a while, there's always new dangers and new characters constantly being introduced. Slezak, Michael (July 10, 2015).

Each story arc is re-released in hardcover books containing two, omnibus editions containing four, and compendiums containing eight story arcs. First off the two are not the same. They are similar in a few keeps points and milestones but the events and characters diverge greatly from the separate story lines. The group continues their lives, and Lori's baby is born, until the Governor arrives at the prison, ready for a battle. The Walking Dead: Compendium One is a phenomenal and definitive post-apocalyptic horror adventure where a group of survivors attempts to find hope in a world filled with unhinged or deceased monsters.

However, they still are in the slow and hard working process of finding hope, so there is still plenty of time to get crazy between each other. Acuna, Kirsten.

I hate zombies in general, never have gotten into them at all, never was a genre I wanted to delve into, but The Walking Dead really helped me in a lot of ways to potentially look into other zombie things (I'm still not convinced that I will like them.)

Collected Editions

The general outline and journey of the survivors is similar to that of the show, but there's still huge differences with regards to individual character storylines, so even as a fan of the show, I'm kept on my toes.

[6] The original pitch by Kirkman and Moore was for a follow-up to George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead, with the series taking place in the 1960s. [7] Image Comics co-founder Jim Valentino suggested using an original concept instead so the creators would own the property outright. [7] The pitch was revised into an original story, taking a more traditional approach to a modern zombie survival tale. The revised pitch was again rejected, however, for being too "normal". Kirkman then pitched it again with a new added twist that the plague was sent by aliens, and that the comic would be more of an alien invasion story. Kirkman had no intention of making the comic about aliens, but felt that the lie was necessary to get the comic published, which it did. [8] A good thing about The Walking Dead, if you want to enjoy it in comic books along with TV series is that both storylines are different, sure there will be connecting points here and there, and you will meet the same names of characters (in some cases) but they aren’t the same persons, and trust me, while this is my first compendium in the comic book’s storyline, I have been watching the TV series since its own beginning, and both stories are different, both truly great, but different, so don’t afraid of spoilers in any of both formats, since the events are developed quite different. You may think of the “other storyline” of any format, comic books or TV series, as “the road not taken”.

Why I said "yes": Show is great (which was also recommended from above mentioned friend) and pure realization that I need to step out of my comfort zone when it comes to entertainment. ((You mean I can't read dirty romance novels and period pieces for life?)) Thankfully the one thing the televised version got right was that the Zombies are only a minor part of the story. The writing focuses more on the characters and how they react to the world than the world itself. The dark elements ( really dark) are mostly born from the monsters that the characters become, not the monsters that might be eating their mother.

These are easily read as huge graphic novels and feature the same story as the individual issues.Shuman, Sid (January 13, 2009).

Villains will rise, heroes will fall. Characters that you have been thinking that they are irrelevant will prove their value in key moments of survival. But don’t you get mistaken... In our society, you never would want to go prison, but in an apocalyptical dystopia plagued with zombies, a prison would look like the logical choice. The AMC television series The Walking Dead (2010–2022) loosely follows the storyline of the comic book. The Walking Dead franchise has also spawned multiple additional media properties, including four companion television series (the first two of which were Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: World Beyond), eight webisode series, video games (starting with The Walking Dead: The Game), and various additional publications, including novels (starting with The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor). However, their safety is again threatened by the psychopathic Negan and his group known as The Saviors, who reside in a factory. The Hilltop and Alexandria join with The Kingdom, which is run by King Ezekiel, in a war against the Saviors. The war ends thanks to Dwight, a savior who decided to betray Negan.

I knew that the show had deviated from the comics in a number of ways, but there were FAR more differences than I anticipated. Lots of new characters, characters having storylines that were very different from the show, characters having storylines that other characters in the show had...missing characters! The list goes on.Consider this: the human body cannot tolerate constant adrenaline. Similarly, the average reader is not interested in persistent drama! When there is absolutely no down-time, you cannot make an impression. It's why popular music structure is as it is - you can't have constant choruses because it would be tedious and boring. As such, I found the constant action and drama in The Walking Dead rather droll. The Walking Dead series is based on the same-titled comic book created byRobert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. No one could have predicted the success of the series, which is the most successful comic-to-series adaptation ever. The body count started on the first chapter making them to realize that ANYBODY may be the next one to fall. If you worry about reading the books and spoiling the show, don't. They are so different that you feel like two different stories are taking place that just happen to involve some of the same people. Characters would be terrorized by zombies, displaced from their homes by zombies, see friends, loved ones, and coworkers die and then become zombies, but with the exception of some tears and wailing there were no real emotional consequences to zombie-related events that would have to be profoundly traumatic.
