A Larger World

A much darker book than Compendium One, The Walking Dead Compendium Two takes Rick on a harrowing journey. The book begins to become crowded with new characters and the amount of hairy situations can be a little overwhelming, but Kirkman’s fantastic storytelling is still a force to be reckoned with.

We Are The Walking Dead

 

Robert Kirkman’s brilliant writing and understanding of his characters makes The Walking Dead Compendium Volume One absolutely one of the greatest zombie apocalypse scenarios ever conceived. The art style shift between chapters one and two is a little jarring, but the strength of the story will carry you through this tome.

After the popularity of the AMC series of the same name began to rise, Image comics released a Compendium of the first eight volumes of the comic series. While there are obviously similarities between the two, the comic’s strengths lie in the powerful character development and not lame soap opera moments to drive the story along.
