 A New Beginning?: The Zombie Epic Reaches An Emotional High 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 Two collects the following two chapters.
"Chapter Three: Safety Behind Bars" finds our ragtag band of survivors moving into a new safe haven. This one has real promise--it's a well secured prison. While Chapter Two has forced us to confront the fact that no one is safe, new hope springs alive. Still wary from their encounter on Herschel's farm, the group extends an olive branch to the family to share the safety of their new digs. So a community starts to form again and the group begins to grow with the newcomers as well as four inmates that were alive in the prison. Building a safe structure takes the primary focus of this chapter but all the new people are still wary of trusting one another. Jockeying for dominance and leadership, this bloody good chapter makes us confront that the zombies are not the only dangers inherent in the new world. With murder, suicide, and betrayal--its starting to get harder to determine the good guys from the bad. And in true cliff hanger fashion, the safe haven may be slipping from their grasp--or actually, it may be ripped away!
"Chapter Four: The Heart's Desire" wraps up the prison cliff hanger from the previous chapter. Among other things, Rick takes another controversial step to defend his tribe. Is he losing his humanity or doing whatever is necessary to survive? As a new character is introduced, the enigmatic warrior Michonne, things start to unravel for Tyreese. Still haunted by his daughters death and what he did in its aftermath, his relationship with Michonne threatens those he is already involved with. The series retains its heart with the continuation of the love affair between Glenn and Maggie including a racy nude scene. But the destruction of Rick and Tyreese's friendship packs a huge wallop. Easily one of the more dramatic chapters, the series hits an all time high with Rick's "We are the Walking Dead" speech--an absolutely unforgettable moment of raw emotion.

Book two in the ongoing(hopefully neverending)series of blood, brains and mayhem. The survivors continue their journey trying to assimulate some form of a life after the mysterious initial outbreak. Their path from book one brings them to the door step of an abandoned prision... What lies behind the walls? Roamers? survivors? personal demons? bikini clad vampire chicks from hell? ummm no, none of that last one but plenty of the first 3!

James D. Morefield (Wynne, AR USA)
This is the best comic series going today. This hardback collection is perfect. I highly recommend this series to anyone that enjoys zombie stories or just good drama. The zombies are actually more a backdrop that actively in the story. The story focus on the survivers and how they interact with each other.

This hardcover edition collects the 3rd and 4th trade paperbacks which is actually issues 13-24 of the monthly comic. The hardcover is well put together with nice binding and high quality glossy pages. For those of you who don't know, the comic is in black and white which I think works very well for the grimness of the book. In this collection the words "We are the walking dead" are uttered by one of characters which sums up the title. These stories were never about the zombies, but about the people trying to survive. Sure there are fights with the zombies and they are always a part of the story, but they are back round to the true story of the interaction of the characters. Kirkman has done a great job of fleshing out the players and telling a very interesting story. The art is solid and the writing is always top notch. Besides the actual issues, this collection also has a two page sketchbook and the covers to all the individual issues. Great series and the hardcovers are a great way to collect them.
