The Walking Dead: Compendium One

When I heard that AMC was going to produce a television series based on the zombie epic "The Walking Dead" I was both interested and happy. A bona fide classic in the tradition of the Dead , "The Walking Dead" graphic novels are brutal and surprising - not really what I want to represent a television show basic cable ( the first season is scheduled for 6 episodes we'll see if it goes beyond ) . But AMC has produced fantastic and prestigious shows like " Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" , so I'm happy enough to see what they do with it . Add Frank Darabont of "The Shawshank Redemption" fame as the creative force behind the show, and we just might be a winner! In anticipation , I returned by past volumes of "The Walking Dead" to rediscover the pleasures that this series has to offer. Compendium collects the first eight chapters listed below - great value , but a book MASSIVE !

Chapter One: . Days Gone By "is the jumping off point - and, indeed , sets things in a fairly typical manner After participating in a shootout , cop Rick awakes from an isolated , but not alone coma in a local hospital. apparently , in the time it came out , something has changed in the world and now the dead walk . the chapter introduces Rick and many other principles as he tries to understand what is happening as it passes through the state to locate his family. in suburban Atlanta , Rick is reunited with his wife Lori , son Carl , and police partner Shane with a group of other survivors. at this point , hope is still alive and people are just waiting to be saved and restored order. Whereas the establishment was very familiar, the chapter highlight involves a real human betrayal that redefines the state of mind of all participants. much characters are introduced to define the basis for the rest of the story . good, with a strong final emotional charge , it is a worthy introduction that gets our group of survivors on the road.
