SURVIVAL HORROR!

ZOMBIES RULE.... thats a fact! Just ask George A. Romero. They rule and they are relentless! There are a lot of amazing zombie movies out there but not many zombie comics, good ones anyway...well there is one....Robert Kirkman's 'Walking Dead' this comic grabs you by the throat,bites you on the arm,rips open your belly and makes you wanna know what happens next. Kirkman and Moore totally nail the survivalist feelings of living in a zombie world and they aren't so focused on the gore and horror(but not to worry, theres quite a bit) that they can't put in a well-developed set of characters,situations and prediciments. Ok the first few pages is nothing new to the zombie enthusiast,waking up in a hospital bed and finding themselves in a vastly changed world is a cliche that has played out in all kinds of stories, the gathering of weapons and supplies is nothing new either, but if you are into the whole zombie thing you'll know that this is industry standard...and I love it. What Kirkman does though is he makes this feel fresh and not cliched, his story is steeped in 'Zombie tradition' and instead of focusing on how or what happened and trying to stop it, Kirkman focuses on how everyday people would deal with it.The story is told in black and white, a great choice reminiscent of George Romero's classic Night of the Living Dead. Now I'm not sure how long this title is gonna run or if Kirkman has an final issue in mind,but there are 44 issues rigt now that about 7 volumes.......and the next volume promises to be a belter(those who read the title know what I'm talkin' about). "'The Walking Dead is about a small town cop, Rick Grimes, and his epic story of protecting his family and staying alive in a world ruled by hordes of undead zombies, I like to call it the zombie movie that never ends." explains Kirkman.If your not reading 'Walking Dead' right now...start reading it...its a must for any zombie fan and a nice change from the men in tights!
