This week for my back issue review I'm sticking with the Halloween theme and reviewing The Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye. This is one of my favourite trade paperbacks for the simple reason that it is both extremely well written and has some fantastic art work. The book (and remained of the series) is written by Robert Kirkman and it is illustrated by Tony Moore. This is one of those books that grabs you and hooks you from the very first panel. For me Days Gone Bye is quite simply one of the greatest comics ever written and got me to actually dish out money for the compendium 1 which cost me around $65.00. *Spoiler Alert* The book starts out much like the show with main characters Rick and Shane trying to arrest some old crazy guy but in the process Rick get shot and wakes up in a coma, only the world he wakes up to is quite different from that he left. With zombies now roaming the earth Rick has to fight his way from his hospital bed to find his wife (Lorie) and son (Carl). When he finally does this he finds them safe with his best friend Shane. This drives Shane mad because we find out that he and Rick's wife were together while Rick was in his coma. The book ends with Rick having to kill his best friend and taking over as leader of the group.
Overall this is a great read and one of my favourite reads! I recommend this book to any Walking Dead fans or any hardcore Image Comics fans!
