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 The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility.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.
At long last, the survivors of Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's acclaimed post-apocalyptic survival adventure find the hope they've longed look for. Can a town not yet ravaged by the horrors unleashed on Earth possibly be all it's hoped for? Is there a far more sinister secret behind their newfound safe haven? Even worse, can people forever changed by the worst in humanity ever hope to get back to their old selves? The next chapter of The Walking Dead is primed to change everything!

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Kirkman’s post-zombie-apocalypse tale is a road epic par excellence, filled with compelling characterizations, gut-wrenching status-quo shifts, and gritty monotone art paying high homage to the granddaddy of the genre, The Night of the Living Dead. This volume trails ex-cop Rick and his group into the care of a tightly knit community that welcomes the ragged group with open arms. But in a reversal characteristic of Kirkman’s sharp writing, it is not the community but the main characters who aren’t ready to cooperate. As good a jumping-on point as any, but ideally you should have the entire fantastic series, right alongside Vaughan's Last Man series. --Jesse Karp

Robert Kirkman
Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
First and foremost a comic creator, Kirkman has seen groundbreaking success in the adaptation of his comic book titles into major franchises in all forms of content. In 2010, his Eisner award winning series, The Walking Dead, was developed into an AMC television series. It has become a worldwide phenomenon as the highest-rated basic cable drama of all time and is the #1 show on television among the coveted 18-49 demo. The property has also been extended into a blockbuster game franchise, licensing business and ongoing publishing success.
Kirkman also serves as consulting producer of The Talking Dead, the popular talk show hosted by Chris Hardwick that deep dives into each week’s episode of both The Walking Dead and its companion series Fear the Walking Dead. Kirkman is co-creator, writer and producer of The Walking Dead’s companion series, Fear the Walking Dead.
He is also executive producer of the AMC series Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics, and the Korean pre-apocalyptic drama, Five Year. Kirkman’s popular demonic-exorcism comic, Outcast, was adapted, produced and airs on Cinemax.
For the big screen, Kirkman will produce Invincible based on his long-running popular comic book. The project will be written, directed and produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg for Universal Pictures. Other credits include AIR featuring Norman Reedus and Academy Award nominee, Djimon Hounsou.
Additional Kirkman comics include Super Dinosaur, Battle Pope, Astounding Wolf-Man, and Thief of Thieves.
Robert is also the Chairman of Skybound Entertainment. Robert, an advocate for creator rights, co-founded Skybound alongside his longtime business and producing partner David Alpert in an effort to ensure creators are able to maintain their intellectual property rights and creative control.

Yay, Alexandria!

I know what's coming soon, I do, but I really enjoyed the Alexandria angle of the show. Those people really were clueless about things outside their "walls". Sometimes guy have to learn the hard way, though!

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

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 6, 2016

Verified 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!

A twist in perspective

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 5, 2010

Verified Purchase

This was one of the most low keyed Walking Dead volumes I have read, with only a couple of minor scrapes with the undead and most of it dedicated to interaction between Rick and his group and a new group of people who find him. They are welcomed with mostly open arms into a community outside Washington, D.C. This community seems too good to be true and much like me, some of the characters are finding it hard to adjust to a world that seems safe and normal...normal being the part that feels strange to everyone.

I think what was most interesting in this particular volume was the fact that while we do not know everything about this new group, on the surface they appear to be completely on the up and up, while Rick and his group have the perspective of being the ones not to be trusted...and based on their actions, it almost seems as if Kirkman wants us to feel a little uncomfortable with Rick and the others rather than this other group. I thought it was an interesting twist and raises the question of whether or not it is impossible for things to ever go back to what they were before the apocalypse for Rick, his son, Michonne, and some of the others.

My guess is that things are about to get stirred up in this series, because as is the case with previous episodes, there is usually a calm before the storm. I just wonder if Rick is going to be the one that is going to be the cause of all the trouble this time around.

it’s great

Build up... low key.. but great ( spoiler alert )

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 10, 2010

Verified Purchase

This volume is as great as any other volume if you are a dedicated reader to the series. I have been playing catch up as I did not get into the Book untill the comic stands were on volume 64. So after a lot of reading I am now up to date with these trades, and have also purchased the newstand books through issue 75. Many people belive that the next chapter will be a big reveal, but it must be told that issue 75 of the series, ends with a huge question of what is going to happen, but there is has yet to be resolve or payoff of the buildup. This being said, I am not complaining... just pointing out the next 4 volume set (#13), will not be a answer to this volume.. it will still be buildup.

The saga continues.... (with some twists!)

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 7, 2010

Verified Purchase

Further development of Rick and his crew continues. The story takes quite a twist in the second half (no spoilers, don't worry!) and goes in a direction that you would may have never expected!

As usual with the Walking Dead series, it's not just a story of zombies, but how people change in the face of such a constant threat. Rick's group seems to be changing regularly, some faces going, other new faces joining, but I found myself riveted to my seat, wanting to know what happened next with every turn of the page.

This volume makes another great addition to the Walking Dead series.

My only complaint is that often the release dates get pushed back, but I'd honestly rather have a good story than a fast one!

Good Positioning Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 2, 2010

Verified Purchase

This book is about character development and rising action. One of the characters is revealed as a fraud early on. The relationship between Rick and Carl is developed as they discuss what happened in the prior story arc. You meet many new survivors that could potentially cause problems in coming events. There is a little bit of action as the survivors make their way to DC. The story ends with a lot of questions still left out there and you will be stuck waiting for Volume 13. If you have bought all the other volumes it is well worth it to get this volume as it seems like our survivors have a safe-haven but something appears to be brewing.

"Wasn't easy. Seeing people... happy."

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 26, 2010

Verified Purchase

The Walking Dead is up to volume 12 (#67-72 of the comic) & while most writers would be struggling for new ideas by now, Robert Kirkman proves he's still able to pull the rug out from under his readers' feet, as yet again, this series unexpectedly changes direction. Rick & his band of survivors are running low on food as they travel through zombie-infested America towards Washington, in the vain hope that society has not entirely collapsed. They've spent 14 months being tortured, hunted by cannibals & seeing loved ones end up as the living dead & zombie snacks, so the last thing they are expecting to come across is a normal, suburban town full of normal, suburban people!

Walled off from the outside world, kids play & women gossip & bake while the walking dead shamble around outside. Their leader certainly seems a lot more friendly than the Governor (although that's not saying much!) but how can they trust him after everything they've been through? And how will they fit in with 'normal' people after everything they've seen & done - particularly in volume 11?!

I may be an adult but when my copy arrived from Amazon today, I immediately read it from cover to cover like a kid at Christmas. That's because The Walking Dead still surprises & intrigues, still has great characters, great ideas, excellent art & zombies by the shedload. And in this case, it has a last page that left me desperate to get hold of volume 13! If only they could publish them faster...

The artwork could've been better in these, but don't let that stop you. Its interesting to see how accurate the TV show is, in regard to the characters and also how the plot deviates here and there.

All in all, this series is gripping and compelling. Highly recommended.

Deadly Read :)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 4, 2013

Have bought all the volumes for my son who is a massive Walking Dead fan. We do all watch the TV programme together, but he loves these graphical novels, they are very well drawn and the story is a little different from the TV program so if you enjoy the program I think these are a great read. :)

Not as exciting as the last issue, but the mystery if the community discovered early in this issue is intriguing. Is it safe & Rick's group will spoil it with paranoid? Or is a dark secret lurking? I look forward to finding out. Giving its TWD I'm going for option2 lol
