    Default The Walking Dead: GRAPHIC NOVELS


    Being a fan of the AMC television series, I decided to start reading the comic books that inspired the creation. From Ric waking up in hospital until book 6, I am in awe by this genius, not only by the captivating story and clear sense of basic human psychology, but by the excellent artwork and dialogue!

    Honestly folks, I am hooked and keep downloading the books on my Kindle Fire HD to see what happens next! The television series does differ in plots and characters, but as two separate entities, both the series and the comics are a work of great genius! As a child I was fascinated by artwork and the George Romero zombie films, and this has brought the two things together beautifully for me, and I am in love with this concept! I'm a massive fan of the Resident Evil video game series (I hate the films!) and have been playing Dead Island lately, so I think I might be a little obsessed

    Anyone else in awe with the comics?

    Thanks to my 'friend' that quite rightly corrected me by telling me they are GRAPHIC NOVELS rather than comics. Believe it or not, I have kissed a girl

    I keep hearing good things about the comics and now that the next season of the show is months away I might pick them up to see what everyone is going on about.

    “Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.” - C.S Lewis
    The beauty of the internet is that there is always a 'close' button.

    The individual books are compilations of several issues.
