So here begins my reading adventure to finally finish The Walking Dead comic series. I've read about half of it back in the day but never did get a chance to finish it.

I think most people seen, read, or least heard of the Walking Dead. After the zombies start invading Rick and his group of survivors must try to get through the hellish landscapes and meet new people to try to work together to survive. It is really amazing how it begins as so many people still have hope the government will fix this, that people are still KIND to each other. All this is about to change but re-reading the start it is amazing how different it is at the start.

The dialogue is Kirkman's strongest part. Realistic, well crafted, funny at times, haunting at others. He gives a voice to so many characters and they all feel different. On top of that the art is really solid and although it changes half way, both artist have the feel of the atmosphere even if the designs themselves change.

It is a bit slow and sometimes long winded conversations get a bit much, but everything else from the shocking deaths to the heartfelt moments really works well. One of the best horror/survival comics ever made without a doubt. First volume gets a 4 out of 5.
