The Walking Dead: Compendium 1
The Walking Dead: Compendium 1 | Robert Kirkman
The Walking Dead Compendium Vol. 1 is here, collecting issues 1-48!Now's your chance to experience this gripping read for the first time or catch up on the tale with the first four years worth of material, collected in one volume for the first time.Since 2003, Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead has been redefining the survival horror genre with its unique and vivid account of life after the end of the world. Although the cast is diverse and often changing (including, of course, a great number of zombies), at the heart of every tale is Rick Grimes: former police officer, husband, father, and de facto leader of a ragtag band of survivors looking to make a future for themselves in a world that no longer has one. To call The Walking Dead a zombie tale is accurate to a point, but it touches on only one facet of a story that asks timeless questions about what it means to live. It also asks whether or not this is possible in a world full of the dead. This is a great opportunity to experience this gripping read for the first time or catch up on the tale with the first four years worth of material, collected in one volume for the first time. Collects Volumes 1-8.

For photo challenge prompt 18: “zombie.”

Which actually tugs on my heart a bit, as bonding with a coworker over The Walking Dead 9 years ago turned out to be the first seedlings for our eventual courtship and marriage.

Zombie matchmakers, who knew.

Book #1
I'm not even going to bother rating this one - it's TWD, and I love it. This is my second time reading it, and I've watched the show through (except the final season) every year before a new season starts. In relation to character storylines, the graphic novel has quite a few differences, but the feel is mostly the same.

I know I'm definitely rereading The Walking Dead since I just recently got the last volume. Discovery of Witches will also be a re-read. The others are not narrowed down yet, but ones I will be picking from. I also have a few audiobooks on hold through the library.

I'm definitely ready for October. 🎃👻

vivastory What's your favorite McCammon? I've been meaning to check him out 4y
Addison_Reads @vivastory I read Swan's Song because of a post @Reggie made and loved it! It is still probably my favorite McCammon. Then I read A Boy's Life because @TrishB recommended it; it's a very close second to being my favorite of his. After that I started buying any of his books I came across. 4y
vivastory Thanks! I think I'll start with Boy's Life since I'm planning on reading The Stand soon & I want to wait a bit before Swan Song so I can appreciate it as it's own thing 4y

I've been sick for 2 weeks with what was discovered in the ER Tuesday to be a kidney infection. Graphic novels are perfect for my fever brain at the moment so I'm really glad I'd just picked up this hold from the library. Today is day 3 of antibiotics and the fever and headache seem to have receded, so I'll hopefully be able to take my boy outside to play finally. I've been the non-dog-walking dead all week!! :(

Finally finished this giant of 1,086 pages! Soooo good! Can‘t wait to get into the second one which is patiently waiting for me to finish the other two books I started. Completely different then the show, it twists and turns and constantly left me with a “what?!!!??” Feeling.

This TWD wine makes me happy! The cork is a definite keeper, and the back of the bottle discusses the apocalypse then goes on to say "...In a matter of months, society has crumbled; there is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable tv. Luckily, there is wine.' ?

#Comicthon - Possibly cheating here 😜 Taking a break to play episode 5 of Telltale's The Walking Dead: A New Frontier. But as we all know, the entire Walking Dead universe is BASED ON a comic series 😉 They are good, read them if you haven't. These games are also really good. I would hardly even classify them as video games, they're more like interactive stories.

xicanti Stuff based on comics totally counts! 7y

Woah. So a few things I noticed: the Governor is way more twisted and evil in the novel, though David Morrissey does a good job portraying him in the show, he is also lucky that all he lost in the show was an eye...because he lost much more in the novel. 😳 I still didn't like Lori. What moments from the novel that did make it to the show were almost scene for scene, and I really liked that. Great read!

This was a reread for me and the beginning was slow (as I knew all the characters already). The second half picked up and was very entertaining even though I knew what would happen. I probably won't read these comics for a third time ever, but I do recommend them to anyone who hasn't read them at all!

Nearly every time we watch The Walking Dead, my husband says, "I thought this show was about zombies; where are the zombies?" ? I then have to remind him that it's about the survivors more than the zombies, so it was fun to come across this page this evening where Rick is explaining that idea for me.

Mariposa_Bookworm I had the exact same experience! 7y

I started to read this because of the TV show and they were my first introduction to the comic/graphic novel world. It's an action packed story full of flawed characters that you end up loving anyways.
I haven't kept reading these and I really should, I miss this characters, specially Michonne.

Was pleasantly surprised what a treat this story was! I loved it and am really trying to wait to start the next compendium. Excellent characters, plots, ideas, and really liked the focus on humanity and its changes after the world essentially ends. Super violent, some parts of rough to read, but it is so rewarding and addictive. Cannot wait to start watching it soon.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Excellent! And I have to say I love the TV series too. 7y

Here you go, @Jinjer . This is the first page of the compendium and all of the artwork is pretty similar. Some different artists throughout though. This one has 8 volumes included (48 issues). I think each volume has 6 issues. Frankly, I'd rather read it by volume but this was what my local library branch had.

Gezemice I just got into them! My library had the first seven volumes and ran through them fast. I prefer those, too, but I had to get the books after that. The compendium is so huge! 7y
Zelma @Gezemice I don't mind the size so much as the weight. It's really heavy!!! 7y
Soubhiville I've read the first 2 compendiums but the third is still sitting on my TBR. I didn't want to know what was going to happen last season before the shows aired, then my challenges took over! (I know there are some big differences between the show and the comics, but still) 7y

With four hours of sleep in two hour shifts, I feel like a zombie. Having bad caregiving times here. Had some alone time at Starbucks and now some afternoon coffee with a little Alan Bennett and zombies. Ahhh.

Jinjer I love #TWD but know nothing about the comic books. Could you show the inside of it? How many total issues are in that one volume? Thx! 7y
Zelma @Jinjer I know it is really different than the show (which I've never seen). Apparently different people survive and die in each one, thus different storylines. I'll look at it closely and snap a photo for you. I heard a great review for it on a podcast I like, so figured I'd give it a whirl. I have little attention span for anything but comics right now. 7y
