Creo que la serie tiene algo que a los cómics les falta. Lo cual es irónico porque la serie está basada en el cómic pero no sé... en los cómics todo parece ir tan ¿rápido? ¿Puede que sea porque he visto la serie antes?
En fin... no me ha llegado a impresionar este tomo pero supongo que seguiré por la simple curiosidad de saber qué es lo que cambia en ambas.

What can I say? People have been bugging me to read this for months and I finally gave in and loved it. It's my first real experience with zombies and I did enjoy the concept. Will definitely be hunting out the rest of these!

I liked it better than I do most graphic novels and comics, but the show is much better. Everything happens SO FAST in the book that it's a little overwhelming. You don't get nearly as attached to the characters, and that's one of the things I think the show does best!

After finishing the second season of the show I decided to give the graphic novels a chance. I used to read comics a lot but have kind of strayed from it the last few years. This book restores my faith in the medium. It is amazing.

Kirkman really understands that the crux of good zombie fiction is in the humanity of the characters. That is something I noticed in the show and it also stands out in the comics. The Walking dead has a lot fewer zombies then you would expect in a zombie comic. Instead it is about the people and their struggle to retain what makes us human. If we lose our values then we've lost the war and may as well join the zombies because like them we are dead. The nice thing about this book is that it never comes out and says this. There are no characters spouting of moral monologues about justice or compassion. They are just a group of survivors looking for a place to call home and a sense of normalcy. Aren't we all?

I must have been spoiled watching the show first, but the zombies are seriously not scary and the plot and character development feel choppy. I'll keep reading though I don't know if I'll make it through all NINE volumes. Nine? Nine.
