I loved comparing the two. Some of my favorites here I don't like in the tv version For example I love Andrea in the comics but nearly despise her in the series-although I do like the actress). But bottom line, there is a lot that can be new. Despite everything that happened, the series ending is actually a happy one and really fills the reader with hope and all sorts of emotions. I definitely prefer the ending we got over Kirkman’s first, much bleaker ending. Moorhouse, Drusilla. "The Zombies Live! AMC Gives The Walking Dead a Second Season", E!, November 8, 2010 What I am saying is, I loved this huge ass volume. It was everything I expected it to be and more. Everything I look for in a source material. This graphic novel has eluded me for so long, I've been meaning to read it for such a long time, so this felt like homecoming to me. In more ways than one.

Behind-the-scenes look at Robert Kirkman's original, hand-written plot lines for the early issues of the Walking Dead Morgan is outside chopping wood. Then he comes in and talks to Duane. They talk and Morgan gives Duane a game boy for Christmas since they don't know the exact date. He tells Duane to conserve his batteries because they are hard to find. He then talks to Duane about paying for everything they "stole" to survive. He says sorry because the thoughts are sad and he should not be talking about this stuff but Duane didn't pay attention because he was playing his game. He then says Merry Christmas to Duane. At the Hilltop, Carl awakes to find Lydia watching him. She tells him she wouldn't be there without him. Maggie and Brianna are tending to a horse. Maggie tells her that she doesn't like being kept in the dark, saying she wants word from Alexandria. They suddenly hear someone yelling to " OPEN THE GATE!". Michonne rushes in with Aaron. She yells at them to get Doctor Carson, telling them Aaron's not breathing.I knew that the show had deviated from the comics in a number of ways, but there were FAR more differences than I anticipated. Lots of new characters, characters having storylines that were very different from the show, characters having storylines that other characters in the show had...missing characters! The list goes on. The story of Tyreese, along with his daughter, Julie and her boyfriend, Chris, in the early days of the outbreak. A series of novels based on the comics, written by Robert Kirkman and Jay Bonansinga, were released between 2011 and 2014 focusing on the antagonist "The Governor". Taking place in the initial outbreak, the books chronicle his experiences from surviving in the newly ravaged world to the establishment of himself as leader of Woodbury, and finally tying up the conclusion to the prison arc storyline in the comics. At Alexandria, Magna instructs Heath and Vincent to keep the Militia ready. When they ask what they're getting ready for, Magna tells them that it's just in case. Heath is confused, as this is the default state of the Militia, but Magna clarifies that she just wants to increase the standard level of alertness. So this is where it all ends. The final instalment in the saga of The Walking Dead, in which a bunch of favourites will die, and the world will go on.

Magna and her group get into an argument, with Kelly, Connie and Yumiko about whether or not they should stay in Alexandria, Magna decides to stands by Alexandria. Magna tells Connie and Kelly, that they're doing this for Luke and for them, then Magna and Yumiko walk off. The Walking Dead Compendiums are a great way to own all of the comics in the series with four giant books. These are easily read as huge graphic novels and feature the same story as the individual issues. Eugene and the radio survivor have a deep conversation, and promise to each other not to talk to other survivors about them.

OK, I could be wrong, never having read any zombie comix ( comix is the wrong word, but graphic novel? Does that describe an incomplete collection of separate issues?). But I'm just assuming zombie comix were pretty much like most action comix, movies, novels, and television shows where it is commonplace for characters to witness the most disturbing things and experience fallout for only twenty or so scripted seconds or less: "Oh my God that was terrible!" "Yeah, but it's over now." "You're right. We have to move on." In action fiction of most media people get over emotional trauma even faster than bullet wounds. It wasn't perfect, no - in my opinion, perfection seems an impossible goal for something that lasted for more than a decade and a half, but I digress - but its ending was pretty damn close. Did it suffer from some of the same stilted dialogue as the rest of the series? Sure. But did these undercut the emotional beats of its resolution? Not for me. Not after so much time, investment, and love. Did its characters shine, did they grow, did you believe in them, feel for them, right up until the end? I know I did.

Where to begin? I really enjoy reading comics (or graphic novels, if that's the term you prefer) and am constantly on the lookout for something new to enjoy in the genre. For the most part, I tend to read classic, well known stuff like Alan Moore's work or Maus or things like that. Recently I got the itch to try out something a bit more, well, recent! Something new and fresh. Mercer attempts to assuage the group's frustration by explaining that even though the community has a few bad people, the sheer size of it means you don't see these people often. He further explains that they all know that worse could be happening than being slapped, but Michonne interjects that this doesn't make it right. Mercer agrees, and cites this example to Siddiq as one of the reasons that the soldiers may need to "blow off steam". Siddiq uneasily agrees.

I've been reading The Walking Dead since well before the TV show began. I finally finished the last issue last week. I won't post a spoiler, but Kirkman ended the series well, on a dramatic and unexpected bookend, and a satisfactory denouement.
