An outstanding horror series and volume...
Robert Kirkman's THE WALKING DEAD stands as one of the greatest horror comic books (arguably THE greatest) ever printed. The theme has been done before (zombies taking over the world - a few humans fighting to survive in the post-apocalyptic world), but never has a horror comic served up such an epic tale of humanity, the undead as well as the good and evil, strength and weakness that lie within the (beating) hearts of the characters. Unlike George Romero's : NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, readers are treated to the long term reality of zombie infestation. The relationships that develop between the surviving humans (love, jealously, fear and hope) are not simple 2-dimensional designs - to the reader, these characters live and breathe, and we celebrate their struggle, and mourn every single passing. My highest of recommendations to all potential readers - you will not be disappointed with this amazing graphic novel.

Magnificent series
This serie is amazing, well written, well drawn. Perfect atmosphere, its easy to identify yourself with the main characters. When the gruesome thing happened to the main character in vol.6 i could not help myself getting mad at the guy who did it. That explains my 5-star rating. Perfect material for a rainy sunday-afternoon with a bottle of pepsi and potato-chips.

Things Start to Calm Down
After all the devastation in the previous books, I think it was natural to rest off the climatic events for a bit. In this volume Kirkman really explores each character with great equality. I learned more about the supporting characters that I wanted to know about. There's not a lot of shock and awe in this book, but leave it to Robert to keep the story going with subtle progression. He did an awesome job, and he is one of the best writers I have seen in comics.

I won't spoil the significant changes throughout the book, but just know that they exist. Stuff does happen, although not as terrifying as the previous comics. What I believe he is doing is giving us time to get a grip on the characters before some of them get taken from us. Sounds like a powerful method to me. I really got lost in this world and I felt happy for the characters who got to calm down a little. Then at the end of the book I took a large gasp at the terror that awaits my characters. I care for these people, however silly that may seem. And after this episode, I am afraid to read the tragedies that will soon unfold.
