Good, but honestly wonder what I would have thought prior to the show。 Governor from the show is much better, more 3-dimensional, more human。 Also the rape element - yikes - That being said, Characters are damn good, damn fine。 And that ending, oof, might need a break。 The nihilistic heart-wrenching ending hits brutal。
Marcus,
Entertaining portion of the story。 Lots of death at the end as seems appropriate。 Good stuff。
Janet,
This set of issues really turns the blood/violence up to 11 compared to the 1st collection。 I know it's a horror series, but yeesh! This set of issues really turns the blood/violence up to 11 compared to the 1st collection。 I know it's a horror series, but yeesh! 。。。more

Being a huge fan of the show, I wanted to see how the original writing started and how the show writers followed and deviated from the comics。 My dislikes were that the comics are much more crude, crass, and unnecessarily violent。 I did like the change in relationships and how people worked together differently, and the comics have a different creepiness feel than you get watching it on TV。 Overall, I prefer the show, and probably will not finish out the comic book series。
Robert,
Still very different from the tv series, much crueler and bloodier。 That's a good thing in my opinion。 Still very different from the tv series, much crueler and bloodier。 That's a good thing in my opinion。 。。。more
Iira,
Just as good as the first omnibus - if not better。 Crueler, for sure。 Trying to not to think of the plot in the tv-series brings a challenge, but since quite a lot of different people are dead, it gets easier。 Can't wait for the next one, but at the same time I feel I must save it so I won't run out。。。 Just as good as the first omnibus - if not better。 Crueler, for sure。 Trying to not to think of the plot in the tv-series brings a challenge, but since quite a lot of different people are dead, it gets easier。 Can't wait for the next one, but at the same time I feel I must save it so I won't run out。。。 。。。more

Watched the series, but not read this。

I'm really enjoying reading the graphic novel form of this story。 It's interesting to see the differences between the original material and the TV show。 However, I think having watched the TV series sort of dulled the effect of this book for me。 That was the only pitfall though。 I'm excited to continue reading past Issue 48。 I'm really enjoying reading the graphic novel form of this story。 It's interesting to see the differences between the original material and the TV show。 However, I think having watched the TV series sort of dulled the effect of this book for me。 That was the only pitfall though。 I'm excited to continue reading past Issue 48。 。。。more
Paul,
To tell you the truth, if it weren`t for the TV series, I doubt I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did。I really liked both the parallels and the tangents the book takes from the series。This second Omnibus ends on a hell of a cliff hanger, so obviously, I am going to HAVE to order the third volume now, right? It`s good story-telling and I can`t wait to find out what happens next。 To tell you the truth, if it weren`t for the TV series, I doubt I would have enjoyed this book as much as I did。I really liked both the parallels and the tangents the book takes from the series。This second Omnibus ends on a hell of a cliff hanger, so obviously, I am going to HAVE to order the third volume now, right?

Mike Horne,
I have now read over 100 volumes of this comic。 For a comic, it is very good。 The zombies really become minor as the apocalyptic story unfolds。 As Hobbes say--Life in the state of nature (with just humans, not zombies) is nasty, brutish, and short。 Good characters (who develop and die off like no other comic), good dialogue (nice conversation about Jesus revealing himself to the heathens), edge of your seat excitement make this a comic to follow!

I have only seen the first season of the TV series, but this seems darker and better。 Not much in the way of forgiveness and redemption。 I certainly would take McCarthy's The Road over this any day。 。。。more
Elise Oliver,
Kirkman is nothing short of a genius。 I love everything about this series。 It delves into all the questions we have about humanity, loss, insanity and post apocalyptic flesh eating zombies。 The storyline is wonderful and really makes you question your own humanity in a way I never thought possible。 Harrowing and tormenting in some parts。 Beautifully gory in others。 A must must must read for any zombie or apocalypse lover。 They are the greatest horror based graphic novels out there。
Bradley,
I love how this was offered to fans from Comixlogy site and app。 It is a greatest collection ever for Walking Dead fans。 I read on my Kindle Fire or my Galaxy Player。 The Digital edition is very different and only offered during the 100 sale。 It is 909 pages long where the hardcover is around 500。

Just as well done as the earlier volumes in the series。 Kirkman is fantastic!

Roger,
I mean, seriously。 This series is so good。 Like the rest of the Robert Kirkman books I've read, I just get hooked and stay that way, straight through to the end。 Then, when it's over, I want more。 no, not want, I need more。 I mean, seriously。 This series is so good。 Like the rest of the Robert Kirkman books I've read, I just get hooked and stay that way, straight through to the end。 Then, when it's over, I want more。 no, not want, I need more。 。。。more

Juliezs,
Yes, I admit it, I love a good zombie story (or movie)。 This series has all the spectacular gore, intense surprises and crazy situations。 But it also has a lot of great examination of human reactions to the unthinkable。
