Review

The Walking Dead is all about the living, the people who struggle to retain their humanity in the face of the unspeakable. So what does that mean? What good is being human when you're no longer the dominant species on the planet? And what's really left to hold on to? The Walking Dead is an examination of all those questions and more. -- John Hogan, The Graphic Novel Reporter

My recommendation is if you are a fan of the Walking Dead tv series, and you feel you want to read the largest chunk of the collected graphic novels in the lowest price per "chunk" format... pick up this compendium! -- squidoo.com

MISSING PAGES...

ByDaniel Akunwaforon September 3, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I watch the show and I heard the comics were a bit different, so I decided I should read them. So far, I'm enjoying it until I just about reached the halfway point. There about 20 pages that looks like they ran out of ink when they were printing. THIS SUCKS!! I missing major parts and I think someone died during the faded pages....

Do they not have people for quality control? Sigh...

Don’t buy compendium 3 from amazon

Bydavid rosenbloomon September 23, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love walking dead, but I don’t always love amazon. Mine came with scuff marks on the corners and peels on the cover. The cover was folded also so there was a big line down the middle from that. There was also some sticky stuff on the cover like there was a “used” sticker that was peeled off. There were also some pages that were misprinted and some dialogue was cut off. I’m a nerd so I like having this stuff on my shelf in good condition but it just looks so bad compared to my other two.

I thought I could deal with the questionable quality. until I noticed that these pages had definitely been read already. The part where the pages meet the binding were on an angle which is a sure sign that this isn’t new. I found sweaty fingerprint marks in pages I would open up to randomly. Eventually I found a footprint in my book during one of the negan parts and I went “okay that is it” and scheduled a replacement. This clearly isn’t a new Book. I’m getting a replacement from amazon so we’ll see how the next one looks maybe I’ll up the review rating a bit. I bought compendium 1 and 2 and had no issues. They could just have a bad batch of books they are giving out right now.

I watched the TV show first (caught up as of 3/6/2016) before reading and holy crap these are awesome

ByJon C.on March 14, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I've purchased all volumes up to 22 and the TV show has just about caught up to wear I am in the novels. These books are friggen awesome. I don't read much and my buddy lent me VOL 1 after he knew I liked the show. Well, I burned through the first one and then just went on a tear buying 4 volumes at a time...the price is pretty good for what you get out of these. $9-$15 is the range I've paid per novel, I'm not sure why they aren't the same but anyways, I keep buying them none the less. The story was written before the TV Show and the show follows the story but there is some differences. The written story is more violent and graphic then the tv show but the tv show does a decent job of sticking with main ideas. I've noticed that certain plot things that happen in the book also happen in the show but there is a unique twist like a different character it happens to or something like that. Which makes reading these volumes great cuz I have some idea of where the story is going (after having watched all tv episodes) but there are still surprises. If you like the TV show and haven't read these, give it a try and you will get a whole new experience of the Walking Dead story. I'm putting this same review under every volume I've purchased (1-22) so people can see it. go buy these!

For the price these are a great catch. I ordered the 14 and 15

ByMichelleon August 3, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Hubby loves the walking dead and was wasting money paying a premium at the local store so I decided to get him the next 2 books int he collection for cheaper here. For the price these are a great catch.

I ordered the 14 and 15. The 14 came perfect but the 15 had a small imperfection int he corner where it was bent a bit. Hubby didn't seem to mind so I didn't contact the seller. Plus the other came perfect so I assumed it was a fluke.

Hubby is happily devouring them and I expect to order more soon.

A fantastic piece of literature

ByTVs Michael Grayon September 22, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is one of the greatest graphic novels ever written. It follows up the second compendium with its rich gallery of interesting characters all banded together under Rick's control in Alexandria and the hilltop, and begins to unfold the story with the people living in the hilltop and their strange deal with Negan. The conflict between Rick's people and Negan's saviors is a brutal, gripping story that is hard to put down. This compendium is made superior to the others with the introduction of the character of Negan, a villain so terrifying and perfectly written that the reader won't be able to decide whether to love or loathe him. And, of course, this book includes wonderful artwork the whole way through, with many iconic full double-page illustrations of daunting post-apocalyptic landscapes.

Walking Dead Revisited!

ByJ. StrohVINE VOICEon April 2, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I recently found out about this book after watching the season finale of Walking Dead on AMC. Wow!! I love the book! The series is so much like the book only it is expanded and not much has changed from the storyline.

Great story and I can't wait to read the rest of the books. The only problem I had with the book is that it took me a while to read in comic book format as I havent' read a comic book since I was a kid. But once I got used to it and looked at the pics it became easier to understand and read.

The whole Walking Dead storyline is so amazing and so realistic for this day in age. Yes it does have it's gore and violence but it is appropriate for this type of book. After all it is about zombies and the survivors of the zombie invasion. It doesn't get much better than this.

I couldn't not reserve time to watch this very realistic post-apocalyptic show on AMC that I fell completely in love with either

ByAmazon Customeron March 3, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

In my eyes, The Walking Dead comics are the epitome of the real deal, a classic kind-of old school comic. A comic than can still keep you guessing and the text matches up perfectly with the drawings. Its totally raw and unfiltered but is ever so intriguing.The whole story-line, itself, is what truly distinguishes it away from any other series and/or comics. I was instantly engaged; I couldn't not reserve time to watch this very realistic post-apocalyptic show on AMC that I fell completely in love with either. I began to read the comics and wow, was I truly hooked. Robert Kirkman's comics have no rules, no limitations. Its all just so raw.I love The Walking Dead: Thank you AMC!!

Amazon: The only complaint i had with the compendium was that a few pages had fallen out of the book (of course, it is a huge book) but it was a gift for my boyfriend. Needless to say, I called Amazon and they were more than reluctant to help me :) to either refund me the price or send me a new Walking Dead Compendium, I ended up doing an exchange and I have no further complaints regarding this replacement copy! Thanks to Amazon the whole ordeal was simple and effortless.

Thanks
