Blurb:

How many hours are in a day when you don't spend half of them watching television?
When is the last time any of us REALLY worked to get something that we wanted? How long has it been since any of us really needed something that we wanted?

The world we knew is gone.

The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility.

An epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months society has crumbled - no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV.

In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living.

Collects issues #97-144 of the acclaimed zombie hit!

My Review:

The war has begun. Rick, Maggie, Jesus, Andrea, King Ezekiel and Michonne have started the war by going to the Sanctuary where Negan and his crew live and attacking them and leading a heard of zombies to their front door so to speak. They are hoping that the zombies will trap them inside and they will run out of food and water then the war will be over before it actually starts. But of course they know that will not happen. Negan is way too smart for that one.

After being attacked by Alexandria, the Hilltop and the Kingdom Negan and crew make their way to Alexandria and attack Rick and his people by blowing up their homes. Rick, Andrea, King Ezekiel, Michonne and everyone at Alexandria take off for the Hilltop to stay until they can rebuild Alexandria and the war is over.

While they are at the Hilltop Negan brings his crew there to retaliate. Of course Rick knew that he would so they were expecting them and was prepared as much as they possible could be. As with any war there were a few casualties on both sides. Who will win the war?

Carl decides that he wants to go live at the Hilltop to learn how to be a blacksmith. When he leaves Alexandria he is given a letter from a girl Anna whom Carl has had a crush on for a while. Anna tells Carl not read her letter until after he reaches the Hilltop. Upon arriving at the Hilltop guess who is waiting for Carl? Sophia that’s who and she just happens to like Carl too.

A man that had been sent out on a scouting expedition returns without his buddies. He tells Maggie that he left his friend behind because he got scared when he saw this group of people who at first he took to be zombies until they tried to stab him. Maggie then sends out a group to find the man that he left out there alone with an injured leg and after being attacked by the Whisperers they brings back one of their people with them as a hostage to learn more of this group that call themselves the Whisperers. The hostage that they have brought back Carl takes a liking to her real quick like. Carl now has three girls chasing after him. The first one would be Sophia from the Hilltop, the second one would be Anna from Alexandra and the third would be Lydia from the Whisperers.

The Walking Dead is my all-time favorite tv show and book. I love me some zombies. I love the undead world and can’t get enough of it. I really, really loved reading about Rick, Carl, Andrea, Michonne, King Ezekiel, Maggie, Sophia and even Negan. Negan will keep you rolling on the ground laughing at all times.

Ready for some zombie biting, stabbing, killing end of the world adventures? Ready for all out war? If you love zombies then I think you will fall in love with The Walking Dead. Come join in the war against humans who want to be in control and against zombies who want to take over the world. Come join Rick, Maggie, Carl, King Ezekiel and everyone else as they try to make the world a safe place to live.
