The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye

The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living.

I was actually reading the Volume One Compendium of the Walking Dead. I was drawn to the storyline and the little stories behind the characters. I could never imagine how it would feel to wake up in the hospital after being shot to a zombie apocalypse. I honestly could not put it down and this is my first time ever reading a graphic novel so it did take a little getting used to reading it, but I really liked it and this has made me be more on the look out for more graphic novels. I will more than likely read the next one as I am curious if they ever find out how it all got started.

Finally tackling this series.

I don't like Lori.

I feel bad for that horse.
