I've built myself up to be a little nerdy when allowed right? Cool, cool, cool, cool in the words of Abed from Community, A+ to anyone who gets the reference. Now I ask this because I'm going to do my first comic book review, and it's a good one. See I have recently gotten back into reading comic books, and the reason for this, The Walking Dead. This series is infallible, it made me laugh, it made me want to cry at times, it showed me exactly how people would react in such an extreme situation, such as a full on zombie apocalypse. The Walking Dead isn't your typical zombie bullshit, see I love anything zombie related but this, this is different. This story isn't about the undead, it's not about how bad the world is, it's about the characters. Since I started reading the series I have gotten attached to many characters, and a lot of those characters have died, either they were eaten alive, murdered by psychopaths, or killed by there own friends or family members because they were bitten. No character is safe, or so it seems. Anyone can die at any time and that's what keeps me tuned in, Robert Kirkman the writer/creater truly knows how to pull on his readers heart strings and he is able to do it in a zombie stricken world, that makes him a hero of mine.
See The Walking Dead television series is good for what it is but it can't truly capture the feeling of the comics, it has you afraid to see what is going to happen on the next page because your worried they might kill off your favorite character. Of course there is everyone's favorite police officer Rick Grimes. Rick seems to overcome everything, but the best part of Rick is that he will do anything it takes to keep his family safe. The things Rick has done for his family are unspeakable but necessary to keep his family safe in such a troubled time. I'm giving The Walking Dead comic book series a 9/10 but the T.V. show I'll give a 6/10 even though I really liked it a short 6 episode first season makes it tough to grade it any higher but hopefully the second season will be just as fun as the first, just a little longer.
