5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding horror series and volume..., October 3, 2007

This review is from: The Walking Dead, Vol. 7: The Calm Before (Paperback)

Robert Kirkman's THE WALKING DEAD stands as one of the greatest horror comic books (arguably THE greatest) ever printed. The theme has been done before (zombies taking over the world - a few humans fighting to survive in the post-apocalyptic world), but never has a horror comic served up such an epic tale of humanity, the undead as well as the good and evil, strength and weakness that lie within the (beating) hearts of the characters. Unlike George Romero's : NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, readers are treated to the long term reality of zombie infestation. The relationships that develop between the surviving humans (love, jealously, fear and hope) are not simple 2-dimensional designs - to the reader, these characters live and breathe, and we celebrate their struggle, and mourn every single passing. My highest of recommendations to all potential readers - you will not be disappointed with this amazing graphic novel.

This review is from: The Walking Dead, Vol. 7: The Calm Before (Paperback)

This serie is amazing, well written, well drawn. Perfect atmosphere, its easy to identify yourself with the main characters. When the gruesome thing happened to the main character in vol.6 i could not help myself getting mad at the guy who did it. That explains my 5-star rating. Perfect material for a rainy sunday-afternoon with a bottle of pepsi and potato-chips.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't put it down, December 9, 2009

Heath Rosenbaum "must . . . read . . . it . .... (Clermont, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Walking Dead, Vol. 7: The Calm Before (Paperback)

Tensions mount inside the prison haven while the survivors deal with a wedding, a birth, an ongoing war with roamers, an imminent war with another surviving tribe, and a few funerals.

This amazing series continues to keep readers wondering what happens next and urges them through each page of the story. The trauma of the undead threat takes a back seat to an internal stew that is coming to a boil.

How long can a handlful of people stay in their barbed-wire oasis, waiting for the inevitable? Can they rebuild society? Does one of the survivors have a plan to overcome the disease that wiped out the planet? Can anyone drive a tank?
