A review by ellelainey
The Walking Dead, Issue #1 by Tony Moore, Robert Kirkman
3.0
Admittedly, I've never watched the TV show, nor have I read any of the comics, books or anything to do with The Walking Dead before. This was a free option on Amazon, so I figured it was a great place to start, to give me a taste of the plotting and storytelling.
For me, I felt like something was missing. I like that it was more 'human' focused - more about how humans deal with the zombie issue than about blood and gore. I like that the humans have never heard of zombies before, so they don't know how to deal with them. The illustrations were great, but I feel like my issue - black and white - was lacking a little something that could have made it pop, if it had been in colour. It could have just added that bit more realism or relatability.
Overall, something missing that I can't figure out, but generally good.
