Attain The Walking Dead: Compendium Two Edited By Robert Kirkman Conveyed As Booklet

the events of the first compendium, this one sees Rick and the survivors trying to cope with their losses and then they are invited to become part of The Community, a town which is working to survive the apocalypse.
But after so long on the run, can the group ever adjust to normal life again And is the community as safe as it first appears

My favourite thing about this is that it's a great mixture of zombies and apocalypse surviving.
It's mostly about surviving and people trying to rebuild civilisation, After everything that he's been through, Rick especially struggles to return to normality, There's still some awesome zombie action in what is probably the most intense encounter of the series so far but the zombies kind of take a back seat for most of the book, which is a good thing because continuous zombie attacks would get dull after a while.


There's some fantastic character development in this book too, Rick is very conflicted, we discover how growing up in this new world is affecting Carl and Glen and Maggie's relationship continues to develop, We remeet Morgan for the first time since the start of the series and meet lots of new characters including toughguy Abraham, the conflicted priest Father Gabriel and leader of the community Douglas.
They are all believable and interact fabulously, better then the characters of any other comic series, Unlike in a novel we only get to see their feelings from their speech and expressions but the writers still manage to display them brilliantly,

This is quite probably my favourite read of the year, It continues the saga and is pretty much unputdownable, I can't wait to see where the series goes next given the ending of this! Again, great writing and storyline in my opinion, This omnibus picks up right where the first volume left off, As with the first compendium, there are several deviations the show producers chose to make but that does not take away from overall effect, As I read more, both the graphic series and the show have their strong suits, I would recommend these large compendiums to anyone who enjoyed the show, especially in the early seasons, Thanks! It's not quite as good as the first compendium, which after a slow start culminated in the prison storyline, The second compendium eventually lands our group in the Alexandria "Safe Zone" and the action gets less frequent and the story moves forward much more slowly, The final part of the book sees the very gradual start of the Negan storyline which will kick into gear around issueearly in the third compendium, So, yeah, it's slow in stretches but still it's a ridiculous amount of content for the money, The Waking Dead returns in this second compendium!

Chapter Nine

HERE WE REMAIN

Rating:

What if everyone dies on your way there

A new compendium of The Walking Dead begins, and we get back to Rick Grimes and his group of survivors in a dystopian world where zombies roam it.


At the ending of the previous compendium, it was portraited the final confrontation between the forces of the town of Woodbury and Ricks grup while living inside of a prison.


Things got nasty, People died. And nothing would be the same anymore, For better or worse.

Enter: Sgt, Abraham Ford

, brawny former soldier who can give to The Rock or Sgt, Slaughter a run for their money,

New people got in the mix of Ricks group and while the interaction gets shaken AND stirred between the remaining members of Ricks group and the new arrivals, they find a common goal to look for.


Now, instead of just wandering aimlessly, a new merged group is forged, still under the leadership of Rick Grimes, and now they have a clear destination.



Chapter Ten

WHAT WE BECOME

Rating:

Youre some brilliant scientist working for the government and you wear a mullet

Ricks group have a clear destination, but one thing is to know where to head to, and another is being able to reach there.


And if you think that a bunch of zombies were dangerous, just wait for a dang herd, . .

Do you remember good old Morgan from the first chapter and also starring a Christmas Special Well, his Christmas became a living or more accurate a dead Halloween, a walking dead Halloween.
And with nothing to lose, he will be part of Ricks group,

And as I told you before, zombies are easy to understand, people dont, and in this dystopian crazy world, kids are no longer really kids anymore.



Chapter Eleven

FEAR THE HUNTERS

Rating:

And in the end, when its over I wont hesitate.


You may think that in an insane world where meneater zombies are everywhere, those would be your highest threat, but hardly, since there is a more deadly predator to men.
. .

other men.

And the worse of that is that men always will have the need of eating,

Hunger is a bitch for evolution,

The roles of predators and prey can be too easily interchangeable, and in this new dark world, love is the most tested emotion, . .


Chapter Twelve

LIFE AMONG THEM

Rating:

Im really good good with a gun Very goddamn good.
Its kind of ridiculous.

Welcome to Alexandria,

Ricks group is now in a whole new situation, . .

living in a civilized community,

And this can be ironically as unsettled and volatile as living on the road facing zombies,

You cant be living out there, sleeping with one eye open, seeing your teammates dying without notice, killing zombies, killing men, without losing an irrecoverable piece of your soul, and certainly getting back to live in society cant be the same anymore.


Now the question

is from whom do you have to be really afraid now


Chapter Thirteen

TOO FAR GONE

Rating:

I remember when you didnt want to be the leader.
Thats what made you a good one,

Ricks group collide with Alexandrias community while living inside of the same walls,

Leaderships are tested,

Loyalties fall down,

Romances are in a mess,

Mental health is long gone,

Living AND dead menaces are in their own ways toward them, . .


Chapter Fourteen

NO WAY OUT

Rating:

Well, boys Good plan so far.
Now what

Ricks group is again, . .

Ricks group

but now its larger

and so its the menace falling over it too,

Alexandria is under masive zombie attack and it will be impossible that everybody would get alive from this, . .


Chapter Fifteen

WE FIND OURSELVES

Rating:

Good effort everyone but save your bullets.
Ill take it from here,

Maybe the herd is over, but hardly Ricks group is safe again, and definitely they got out from that soaked with blood, all over their bodies and deeply inside of their souls.


Hope is not here anymore, but the quest for recovering hope in the community of Alexandria maybe it will be the only thing saving them from getting totally insane.


However, they still are in the slow and hard working process of finding hope, so there is still plenty of time to get crazy between each other.


And if they really want someday to have hope again, somebody will have to take the hard decisions, . .


Chapter Sixteen

A LARGER WORLD

Rating:

Im not talking to a fucking hat.


Ricks group is facing challenges in many fronts, Food is scarce. Ammo is low. Faith is even lower.

But winter is coming, . .

and so is Jesus

Enter: Paul Monroe, . .

, or as his friends call him, . . Jesus.

Ricks group will meet this man who works in mysterious ways and sometimes do some miracles, but no, hes not that Jesus, . . isnt him

Jesus aka Paul Monroe appears with good news and the word is, . .

trading!

He will explain Ricks group how their world is bigger than they thought possible, A world with other groups, other communities,

And it seems that they only way that all these groups may survive is creating a trading system,

But as you can guess, this just cant be as easy as it sounds,

If we kill all these bad guys, will you start to giving us half of your food and stuff

If you think that the problem was that zombies would get increase their numbers, youre wrong.
. .

the uncertain new scenario is that men are getting to be more of them, . .


This is, . .

THE WALKING DEAD!!!
