I’m going to be honest; I
fell out of love with The Walking Dead TV show on AMC midway through the second
season. I loved season one for its interesting take on a zombie apocalypse and
that it focused on the characters. Then I started watching season 2 this fall
and it just didn’t grow at all. It was tedious, slow and, worst of all, it
bored me for a while until I stopped tuning in on Sunday nights. From what I
hear it has got much better and the end of season 2 makes up for the slow beginning
and middle of the season, but that never swayed me to go back to the series.
When it comes to the
comic, I have read the first two trade volumes (issues 1-12) which I liked. But
the rising price of comics has kept me from delving into the series (that has
changed though as I found The Walking Dead compendium #1 which collects issues
1-48 for a very reasonable price and it is now on the way). So going into the game
I had a decent idea of what I was getting into, zombie apocalypse and what it
does to humanity, and that was a good enough set up for me.
