Last week, I picked up the first trade paperback of the comic The Walking Dead. I had heard of this title before, and I'd been thinking about starting to buy it for awhile. I finally caved. My love of all things undead won out.
Then I read it and wish I hadn't waited so long. The story is about a police officer who gets shot in the line of duty, goes into a coma and wakes up to find the dead have risen and the world he knew is long gone ... and so is his wife and kid. The idea is to follow the story of someone who survives the rise of the zombies and how that person manages to survive in an ongoing series. It's a very cool idea, and the first trade showed that the writer really knows what he's doing. I'm thinking about picking up the second (and maybe even the third) volume this weekend.
