Zombies Rule
Any fan of zombie fiction will get a kick out of Rob Kirkman's masterpiece, The Walking Dead series. Originally(so glad to not have to buy each individual volume now!) but the hardback is wonderfully sturdy. Altho this third book gets even more disturbing with the introduction of some really seriously messed up dudes and everybody just might be going a bit psychotic, Kirkman's storyline just keeps on getting better. Must have for zombie fan!
The best of the best
To make this review short and helpful I will start by saying that "The Walking Dead" Series is perhaps the finest of all zombie comics. The characters are rich and developed slowly as part of the long serial plot. The zombies are Romero through and through, so there is none of that super human thinking zombie crap. Much like a good zombie film, the monsters help set the stage and serve as a challenge, but are not the only danger/motivator that the protagonists face. The world is dark and horrifyingly revealed by quality art. The issues in this volume are quite good, action packed, and brutal enough to make a veteran horror fan come back for more. The hard cover edition is well put together, looks nice and has the durable feel that a reader or collector will want out of a volume. Plus the gallery in the back has some nice art from covers and other sources.
Missing Issues in Hard Cover...
Walking Dead Book 3 Hard back is missing two comic issues, according to the copy I have received from Amazon. I would recommend purchasing the comic books individually than get cheated in purchasing this hard back. The missing issues depict the main characters encountering a nearby town, then brutally tortured and maimed by the governor. The scenes in those missing issues are graphic and I guess that's why they have not been included.
The storyline is great. I must give the hard back one star for missing issues-- that is solely the Printer's fault.
The Zombie Story that Never Ends
The third hardcover installment of "The Walking Dead" (contains volumes 5 and 6), continues to chronicle the life of Rick Grimes, ex-cop, and a myriad of other characters that attempt to survive in the sprawling adventure written by Robert Kirkman. "The Walking Dead" makes an excellent addition to anyone's zombie and/or comic collection.
Top notch
If you are into the zombie genre, these stories are a must read. As the author states, this story will hopefully go on forever.
I can only recommend the three (for now) hardcover books, they are a superb finish to an already excellent story.
