The Walking Dead #1

koz's The Walking Dead #1 - Days Gone Bye, Pt. 1 review

Koz's Comic Flashback

If you do not read this series there  is something seriously wrong with you. this series is not your typical zombie let me eat your brains all out blood and gore. It is a character driven book and throughout the series there are many charaters that come and go and you will be upset when one of your favorite characters dies. I feel that this is Robert Kikmans best work yet. I love the Walking Dead and I hope it never ends. I picked up issue #1(a reprint) for free on Free Comic Book Day. Now it has been a long time since I read issue #1 and I loved it even more reading it the second time around.  The Walking Dead is centered on Rick Grimes, a small-town police officer, Who wakes up in a hospital from a coma after being shot in in the line of duty. In a matter of minutes he notices that things are not quite right. Not only does he find out that the hospital is being overrun by zombies, but it is the whole town. Rick's sole purpose is to find his wife and and son. Also how did this all happen? Even if your not a fan of horror books I think this is a must have. You can buy the first trade for only $10.00 bucks well worth it. A warning though. Once you start reading you will not want to stop. I give this book a 5 out of 5. 

Thanks for reading Mike Koz :)                Happy collecting everyone!!

This is fast becoming one of my favourite titles, and I just had to check out the opener - So, the first installment of what is to become (if it isn`t already) a classic horror comic series... Injured in the line of duty, policeman Rick Grimes wakes in a deserted hospital - deserted of the living, that is - after a near escape from a canteen full of zombies, Rick cycles home. His house is deserted but he does bump into two other survivors, Morgan Jones and small son, Duane, who put him in the pi...

The Walking Dead is one of the best on-going survival horror comics I've read. Not often is the concept of a long term zombie out-break explored such as in Walking Dead. One valid complaint throughout the series could be an imbalanced zombie to character development ratio, but sometimes the sweet carnage of the undead comes second to our group of survivors.  The premiere issue starts similarly to the film 28 Days Later (this is merely coincidence, as both titles were being written around the sam...
