Huge fan of the Walking Dead TV show here, but for some weird reason, I have never read the comics. Maybe it is because they started at a point in my life when I wasn’t really reading many comics. Anyways, I saw the TPB of the first six issues at the library and couldn’t wait to dive in. Fans of the show, it is quite a bit different. I won’t ruin it for you, but people don’t die in the same order as they do in the series. Kirkman does a really good job with pacing in the story and it reads pretty quickly. The art is good and suits itself to the story very well.
In other news, Marvel has announced that buying any paper comic will grant you an e copy of the book as well. This is to be done with special codes and the magic of the internet. You will have to have the marvel app to get the books and these apps are available for ios and Android. There isn’t an app for unjailbroken kindle fires as of yet, but I am sure that there will be by the launch date in 06/12.
