    Short summary describing this issue.

    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally begin living. Rick Grimes is not prepared for this. A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired a shot and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family he must now sort through the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son.

    Grime and Time = good story Vol.1 0

    What makes Walking Dead good is Robert Kirkman's love for the universe.  He is weaving a strong character driven story, dealing with Zombies, but is really about the people.  The drive of survival allows Kirkman to explore concepts taboo in our society, but might be essential in a world of the Walking Dead.  Such as Guns, how much do we really need them?  Such as living arrangements, is it wrong two hotties live with an old man?   Another strong thing about the Walking Dead is the narrative is v...
