Reaction to "The Walking Dead"

             I want to start off by saying I have never read the actual Walking dead series but have been an extreme fan of the live action AMC interpretation. With that being said I found the comic to have amazing visual substance the details in the art are amazing and it really does help to build the story, not only is the plot amazing but well thought out and executed.

             In the opening strip I really like how they set the characters of Rick and Shane as best friends only later to find out that Shane has abandoned him and tried to steal his family and the jealousy eats him alive later on in the storyline.

             In the story though I do like how not only through word but through the use of fabulous art the author sets up the horrific reality that they are now plagued with. Life that consists of basically running and hiding for your life not knowing when the next zombie might strike. It is also interesting to me to see how the group as a whole is coming together to form a family like bond in their time of need but outside forces like the growing hate for Rick from Shane "ultimately leading to his death" or the zombies trying to rip them apart "literally in the case of the zombies". All in all I feel as if it is a well illustrated well written graphic novel that depicts the world and all of its pit falls and how in your time of need finding people you an rely on is one of the most important things for survival.
