THE WALKING DEAD

Back in 2004, when I first started writing for City Weekly, The Walking Dead was the first comic I ever reviewed (apparently the CW archives only go back to 2007, which is kind of a bummer). I didn't like it. I thought it was too soap opera-y and just wasn't into it.

Now it's six years later and about to become a live action TV show on AMC (home of the excellent Mad Men and the even better Breaking Bad) Executive Produced by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption). I decided that I'd better give it another shot, so I went online and found The Walking Dead Compendium One. It's got the first 50 issues of the series in one giant trade paperback. I'm actually really excited to start reading it.

You'll probably get an update here in a few weeks. Or days—I've been told that I'll burn through the entire thing quicker than anticipated. We'll see. Stay glued to the edge of your seat for my thoughts.
