I cannot believe the dark places this graphic novel delves. No one, and I mean no one, is safe in this ongoing saga. It takes place after the dead have risen and destroyed everything and follows a handful of often rotating survivors as they try to get by in a frightening new world. It starts out a little slow as everything is set up but once it gets going I didn't want to put it down.
It is less focused on the zombies than its core of characters and their interaction and relationships but there is plenty of gore to go around. It's horrible, sad and unputtdownable. This volume collects issues 1 - 48 of the long running series and man is this sucker heavy!

A grim look at what happens when a small group of survivors have to face a world filled with unrelenting horrors. Exactly what a graphic novel should be: filled with complex characters populating a well-conceived and realistic (for the premise) world. And not only is it well plotted, but the art adds greatly to the sense of urgency and despair, as it should.
I can't wait to keep reading.

LOVE IT! If you love the TV series, you'll love the books. The story lines are often similar, but different enough from the TV show to keep it fresh. I don't keep many books, as I like to read and redistribute, but I'm keeping all of these.
