The Walking Dead Compendium Volume 1: 01

Product Information

The story is worth a read, but particularly satisfying is the flash-forward that occurs at the end of the major tale. We get to see what the world looks like a couple of decades in the future, and whether that's a happy ending.

This also gave a nice not so little tangible form to a beloved show, an event really, that I love watching with my other brother. Makes me happy. So the series is basically about about character development. And that's great! But if you do it badly, you end up with a cheap soap opera. And that's what The Walking Dead really is: a mediocre soap opera. With zombies. Even the zombies are kind of lame and serve primarily as an excuse to include mindless action scenes, which do little to break up the monotony of it all. I liked Sherry trying to overcome Alexandria, as a mean of Negan making clear that he changed and he knows that when he was in charge things were totally shit.

If you haven't read the books because of being afraid to spoil the show..don't worry. It's different enough that you don't know anything about anything.

Ja, es macht mich traurig, Abschied zu nehmen, denn jeder einzelne Charakter ist mir ans Herz gewachsen - auf die ein oder andere Art und Weise. Von einigen mussten wir uns schon früh verabschieden, andere blieben bis zum Schluss. OK, I could be wrong, never having read any zombie comix ( comix is the wrong word, but graphic novel? Does that describe an incomplete collection of separate issues?). But I'm just assuming zombie comix were pretty much like most action comix, movies, novels, and television shows where it is commonplace for characters to witness the most disturbing things and experience fallout for only twenty or so scripted seconds or less: "Oh my God that was terrible!" "Yeah, but it's over now." "You're right. We have to move on." In action fiction of most media people get over emotional trauma even faster than bullet wounds. First off the two are not the same. They are similar in a few keeps points and milestones but the events and characters diverge greatly from the separate story lines. The characters in this story make hard choices and sometimes do terrible things in the name of survival. But, with very few exceptions, there are few characters that we cannot truly come to understand and identify with. Their decisions and their reactions make them richer, more interesting, which is what truly makes for a fascinating and engaging story.So this is where it all ends. The final instalment in the saga of The Walking Dead, in which a bunch of favourites will die, and the world will go on. a collection of concise but detailed information about a particular subject, especially in a book or other publication. There's also the question of how to organize a post-outbreak society. What kind of person or people should run the survivors' societies? Is this an opportunity to remake civilization, or should the old ways be adhered to? How much leeway to we have in restarting the world, and what will that look like in the end? The characters in this story have to deal with how to define a family when one's partner or parents or children could die at any time. They have a chance to redefine what is lawful and illegal, to toy with the notions of what is right and wrong, and to re-evaluate the role religion plays in their lives. It's a chance to rebuild the world from scratch, and the characters in this story test those limits in interesting and sometimes unsettling ways. Kirkman created a relatively easy to anticipate, routine rhythm to his series. All of his conflicts tend to follow the same blueprint: the sudden reveal of a new group of people, usually via violence, the plan to eliminate or integrate this new group, the moment of hope when it feels easy, the “sike!” moment when it turns out not to be easy, a difficult period of adjustment and regrouping, then the final punch. Every final punch in this series is, in fact, final. We know what happened to the antagonists: they’re dead, they’re imprisoned, they’re integrated into the main group. Oh. My. God. I can't even. My feels are completely broken after reading this.. How can I possibly wait until MONDAY to get my hands on Compendium 2? EVERYTHING I LOVE DIES. It's like, I heard some of these things were going to happen, but WHEN they happened I couldn't help but cry.
