About this ebook

The Walking Dead Compendium Vol. 1 is here, collecting issues 1-48!Now's your chance to experience this gripping read for the first time or catch up on the tale with the first four years worth of material, collected in one volume for the first time.Since 2003, Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead has been redefining the survival horror genre with its unique and vivid account of life after the end of the world. Although the cast is diverse and often changing (including, of course, a great number of zombies), at the heart of every tale is Rick Grimes: former police officer, husband, father, and de facto leader of a ragtag band of survivors looking to make a future for themselves in a world that no longer has one. To call The Walking Dead a zombie tale is accurate to a point, but it touches on only one facet of a story that asks timeless questions about what it means to live. It also asks whether or not this is possible in a world full of the dead. This is a great opportunity to experience this gripping read for the first time or catch up on the tale with the first four years worth of material, collected in one volume for the first time. Collects Volumes 1-8.

Ratings and reviews

The book is good, But google doesn't give me the option of downloading the epub so I can read it on my e-reader. When I sent a message to support, got a notification that they would be in touch in 1 work day: it's been 4 days and no answer so far. Never been so disappointed on Google, I only got my kobo because google support says I can read the books they sell on it.

This series is. Pretty interesting one I must say. I started reading it because I enjoyed the show and have enjoyed other comics so it seemed like a good fit. The story line is a little predictable though. I dislike how they introduce characters just so that they can be killed off. Another thing I'd like to point out is that this is not the first volume of the series. It is a collection of the first 8 volumes of the series. All the people complaining about the price being 31.19 instead of 4.99 shouldn't be.

The artwork is very good, although it should be in colour... just saying. I don't know if it depends on what tablet or device you read it on but on multiple occasions it tends to not display 2 pages and having to restart the app to fix it... not worth £20 let alone what it was priced previously.
