Tor Books
IMHO The book is great. It's a really nice addition, and I think it doesn't matter how much of the TV show you've watched, or the comic books you've read.
I mean, as long as you're aware that The Governor is a character, there isn't really any spoilers. It's just his backstory.
After reading for around 30 minutes - 1 hour (depending on reading skill of course haha) You'll realise how brilliantly Robert Kirkman can describe zombies getting punished in various ways, with excellent attention to detail describing noises, and specific parts of the body taking damage from a fight.
Also, Jay Bonansinga (a very excellent thriller writer) Collaborated on this book, helping out with the action scenes and sharing credit for what I think is a great book, with lots of nods of the head to other characters/events in TWD Universe.
I might also add, my girlfriend read this, having previously seen only a few clips from the show and reading none of the comics, and she thoroughly enjoyed it as well.
If you enjoy it, there's a sequel coming very soon as well! -
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0330541366/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0312547749&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1K7J3ZSM4983W5JDY2BM
Tl;DR - The Book is 3/5 In my opinion, fun for existing or new fans.
Watch: If you have already watched TWD and GoT, some other good TV series include: Fear the Walking Dead, True Detective season 1, Vikings, The 100, American Horror Story season 1 - Murder House and season 2 - Asylum, Stranger Things, Penny Dreadful, first few seasons of True Blood, Sons of Anarchy, Narcos, House of Cards, Bates Motel, The Last Kingdom, and that's all I can think of right now. You can also check out IMDb: Most Popular TV Series.
Read: Read TWD comics and read the Game of Thrones book series, A Song of Ice and Fire. Just give the first A Song of Ice and Fire book, A Game of Thrones, a try and I guarantee you will be hooked and won't be able to put it down. I can't even stress how amazing both book series are compared to their TV show counterparts, especially the GoT books. There's so much detail in both TWD and GoT books that they didn't have time to fit into the TV series or didn't care, but reading the books really helps to understand certain characters and situations that occur in the show. You don't even have to actually pay money for the books, you can just download the ebook files to read them for free. (If you want to know where to download the ebook files for free, message me.) I actually always do that, if the files are available, and if I start reading it and enjoy it, I purchase the actual physical book, as I did with all of the GoT and TWD books. To save money when purchasing the physical copies of TWD comics, make sure to buy TWD comics in Compendiums (Amazon: TWD Compendium One) instead of individual books.

"Shane, You want my kids to call you there linky!?"
"Rick, I swore you was Link!"
Well You could Wait till This Fall For the Second Combined Version Book Which will be 49 - 96
-----------------------------FAQ Section----------------------
How Many Books Is there?
Soon 96
Is there Any Online stores to buy them from?
Yes The Ones I linked Should work If not Then This site has a Few
Not really a good Way to buy them but ok
Are the books really that good?
Well If you love the show then you'll love this more because you are missing so much!
[E1]: Made a F and Q Section of my comment
[E2]: Forgot about Volumes
[E3]: Fixed link to volumes
There are elements that are the same, but there are already some major deviations from the comics in the show. Many of the characters in the group did not appear in the comics (notably Daryl). The CDC plot line and its implications are not in the comics either.
That being said there are some similarities. The ending of tonights episode did happen in the comics, so anyone who has read them has a pretty good idea what's going to happen.
Based on everything I've seen and heard from the creators/producers, I would say read the comics for sure, they are fantastic (they actually got me hooked on comics in general). There may be some things that are less shocking or suspenseful, but by and large the show is progressing differently than the comics.
Start out with this if you are interested: http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1318826494&sr=8-4
If you are looking to go the collection route I highly suggest getting the hardcover books. The quality of book build is much better then a softcover 1000 page over sized compendium tomb and you wont tire from holding it while you read. Plus they look awesome on a bookshelf
Naturally this a much more expensive route to go but like many who testify here its an epic graphic novel worthy of the investment.
I torrented and read the entire series and and am now working on collecting them all.
Please don't torrent it. I may get hate for this, but I think we should be showing our appreciation to Kirkman for what he is doing. Torrenting music or movies from large industries is one thing; they don't need the extra 99 cents. But Kirkman is just one comic book writer with a brilliant story. If you can afford it, please buy the compendium.
I didn't down vote this, but I came here to say that I don't like this person trying to read the comic for free. Order the first compendium, it has 48 comic episodes in one book. $35, but it's friggin massive, and it's a great read.
http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1330525358&sr=8-3
Of course, if you just want some reference info and don't want to buy the comic, by all means, go to this site:
http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_Wiki
I just finished the first compendium. It is amazing. So much happens and it is not like the show at all. The characters are better, the action is super intense, and you dont have to wait an entire season for something to happen. Every three pages some shit goes down.
Dont buy it in a book store. It's $60. On amazon it's $35. I got lucky and got it for $30 last year.
Only legal place I know digital is comiXology through ipad etc. If that doesn't work for you I'd suggest ordering the Compendium from Amazon, it's huge and great value for how many you get (48 issues in 1).
The cheapest legal way to read them is by purchasing Compendium One, Two and Three. That's the first 144 issues. Probably best to start with just Compendium One to ensure you like them.
*Edit: The Comics FAQ can probably answer any additional questions you may have.
Are you talking about this one?
Wouldn't it be cheaper to go for the hardcover books simply because it covers more issues?
Thanks for helping out anyways. :)
Not sure - is the compendium the same as the volumes? I've got volumes 1-4 with Vol 1 being "Days Gone Bye". I'm not sure if those are the same things.
I've only read Vol 1 but it's been awhile. I stopped because the comics progress WAY faster than the series and I didn't really want to get ahead of the show and spoil anything. I've been LOVING the show this season and can't wait for the restart.
Oh you have options my friend.
The Walking Dead - Compendium 1 Pros - absolute cheapest method on a per-issue basis, only one book to worry about instead of multiple copies. Cons - Only released every 48 issues, so you get 1-48 but the next compendium won't come out for at least six more months as they just hit issue 90, so you'd be waiting a long time for the next group.
Trade Paperbacks
Pro's - still a better value than buying individually, released every six issues instead of every 48 so much, much greater frequency, if you have a book shelf having a bunch of these lined up on it looks "cooler" in my opinion.
Con's - more expensive per issue than the Compendium, still only comes out every six issues so can leave large gaps.
Actually I think there's like ten, there's well over 100 comics and 4 books probably doesn't cover it all
actually yeah if you scroll down it looks like there are more!
http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-Dead-Book-5/dp/1607061716/ref=pd_sim_b_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0MVMVCAWF91SXPEBMYB7
In that case, I think everyone who wants to write a zombie flick should have Max Brooks' The Zombie Survival Guide as mandatory reading to ensure continuity regarding the capabilities of zombies in future movies. Love that book - it makes me question what the writers were thinking whenever I see a zombie doing something out of the ordinary.
Looks like you can get omnibus 4 when it comes out for $60 on Amazon. Doesn't solve your Book 3 problem, but I hope it helps.
Amazon Links
Issues 1-48. SUPER thick compendium that does NOT include individual comic covers. So thick, it's honestly annoying to read, although it is the most bang for your buck.
or
Issues 1-6. Softcover.
or
Issues 1-12. Hardcover.
That should get you started.
My preference is to buy the "Books" like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Walking-Dead-Book-Bk/dp/1582406197/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343944040&sr=8-1
They are released a lot more often than the big compendiums, and it lets me pace the story out a bit rather than reading issue 1 - 100 within a day or two.
Also, I think they look the best. Just my opinion.
Get the compendiums. There are three out so far. They have like 50 issues each in them and are 20-40 bucks. Best deal in comics. https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1542150565&sr=8-4&keywords=walking+dead+compendium
If you like the first few, please considering supporting the author by buying the books.
First half is only $35 on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330666477&sr=8-1
Best bang for your buck if you are short on cash. Amazon ships everywhere. $35-$40 total for the first 48 issues. It's a steal and the perfect jumping on point on a budget.
Here's the first compendium. It's huge and contains a whole collection of the comics (I think it's issues 1-49, but I could be wrong). Amazon also sells the second compendium, and soon there will be a third. You could also buy the comics in volume collections, which are smaller and easier to handle, but they cost more than the compendiums.
Yeah I saw the Compendium, amazon but when you say issue is that the same as individual comic?
So every individual comic, does it have it's on story arc or does it continue along like the TV show?
If I bought the trade paperbacks would that be the same as buying 6 comics?
Do I make sense, I don't think I do.
I completely agree. I found one of the compandiums in a local store, picked it up and could never imagine actually reading it. Because of this, when I ordered the comics recently, I decided to go with the 12 issue collections. And they're hardcover, which is always nice.
Well I feel kind of bad for getting on your case then. I'm sorry.
I think there are 94 issues and 15 volumes out. I've been buying the volumes at Barnes and Noble but they are really fucking expensive. Honestly for the price I spent on the first four volumes I could have bought six from Amazon and paid for shipping. Shame I'm addicted and can't be bothered to wait for a package.
Here is a link to the first compendium. Right now it's $35 for the first eight volumes. Pretty insane deal. If you're interested I would get that, but if you're against getting one big book the "Also Bought" section has the stand alone volumes.
Me too, absolutely love the first two. I did find this at the library though, it's the first 4 books in one.
Comics are on 93, I believe. Just so you know, the compendium was made up of the first 8 TPBs (trade paperbacks) and there are 8 more TPBs out now, I think. Here is the link to the TPB with issues 49-54:
http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Vol-Here-Remain/dp/1607060221/ref=pd_sim_b_1
EDIT: And if I remember correctly, you're at a spot right now where you need to know what happens next ;) Enjoy!
You should, they really are excellent and you can you can pick up the bulk of it in 2 books. Compendium 1 and 2.
There are compendiums, but I enjoy seeing the color cover art for each issue as I read them.
I think the best bang per buck are the Compendia:
https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1540922803&sr=1-3&keywords=The+Walking+Dead%3A+Compendium
3 are out there so far, each containing 48 chapters, so that's 144 chapters. Right now chapter 184 is the most recent one, so it's going to be a while until compendium 4 comes out. I guess, if you plan on buying the next compendium, it'd be "okay" to read the chapters somewhere online until you can buy them, if you can't wait. At least that's what I'd do.
The first issues are selling for hundreds of dollars (#1 selling for over $1000). The hard cover books (combined issues) are selling for about $20-$30 per book (I think there are 7).
If your not collecting them, and you just want to read, this would probably be your best bet. It contains issues 1-48 of the comic.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332247752&sr=8-1
> instocktrades.com
it's only cheaper if you spend more than 50 to get free shipping.
instocktrades: $20.29 + $4 S&H = $24.29
amazon: $22.94 with normal shipping or $24.26 with Prime
No, you can get them all online via the Pirate Bay, but you can buy them on amazon.com and a pretty reasonable price. They ship really fast too, if you have prime!
Go get volume 20 part 1! $8.97 on Amazon Prime :)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1607068826?pc_redir=1395987827&robot_redir=1
I bought mine from amazon. Very good deal. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Walking-Dead-Compendium-Volume/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368462307&sr=8-1&keywords=the+walking+dead+compendium
There is 22 volumes of the graphic novel currently (the graphic novels contain 6 issues of the comic per book, there are also hardcovers which contain 12 issues, and the compendiums contain 48 issues).
If you're like me and prefer physical media you can also get them on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Zombie-Survival-Guide-Protection/dp/1400049628/ref=tmm_pap_title_0
Enjoy!
Here you go my friend!
https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760
You should start from the start. You won't regret it. It'll make the back stories more interesting too.
$35 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760
Now I just wish I had $35.
Just did some price history searching, looks like $36 is the cheapest it's been in a year. Worth every penny though.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1607060760/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1492056568&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=walking+dead+compendium&dpPl=1&dpID=51S12ntkIbL&ref=plSrch
Local comic book stores should have TWD comics, if not look online. I know amazon sells the compendiums (collection of about 50 issues) or you could buy them by volumes. Shop around online and see what medium you’d prefer. Here’s a link to help out.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1607060760/ref=pd_aw_fbt_14_img_3/147-3855025-4383101?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RJV3QTS2RE3J140EJVXY
2 weeks ago a bought Compendium 1 and could not put it down. I read the entire thing in two sittings. I would always recommend starting from the beginning as it lets you get a proper feel for the tone of the comics compared to the show. There's a lot that is the same but an equal amount that is different.
The Walking Dead Compendium Volume 1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1607060760/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_E8u-wb1T7BB5Q
Already bought the rest and absolutely plan on powering through them as soon as they arrive.
I'm not sure what they would be like on a Kindle. I love my Kindle but haven't got any graphic novels on it yet.
After you finish compendium 2, this is what you want next (All Amazon links):
Volume 17
Volume 18
Volume 19
Volume 20
Volume 21 will likely publish in the summer sometime.
EDIT: I was right! Vol 21 was announced today to publish July 23.
The compendiums are okay, but being so thick the panels close to the spine are a bit hard to read and they're heavy. I would recommend getting the hardcover editions.
Buy them on Amazon!!!
The first one here for $37.
The second here for about the same price.
If it's any consolation, this is about as good as I was able to find.
I'd suggest just buying the paperback volumes, I believe they are up to volume 13 now. I say this because they look nice on your bookshelf. Volume 1
yes go buy the compendium its the first 48 issues in one book
I found it on amazon but you might want to check your local library chances are they can get it.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760
It's legal, so don't worry about your ISP. It's a Physical copy as well.
First I would find a local comic shop and try and support them. If you don't have one near you here are some links for Amazon.
Compendium One
Compendium Two
Those two will catch you up through issue #96. You can either wait until Compendium 3 comes out in a year or so or buy the trades starting with Vol. 17. The trades collect 6 issues and come out a couple of times a year.
No, it's not too late to start reading them.
There are a lot of differences between the show and comic and is a different experience altogether.
In case some one would like to know;
http://www.amazon.com/Swiss-Neoprene-Face-Mask-Smoke/dp/B003ICTER2
Compendium One and Two float around $35 on amazon. That's not bad for One that you can take home now.
Check out the book The Rise of the Governor. It's the backstory for the governor in regular novel format.
Well, you could grab the compendiums one at a time and read all the comics that way.
well then in that case It seems it would be about 50 bucks cheaper to just pick up this big guy
Book 8 comes out next month. And you might want to look at the actual books: ONE, TWO
Nah, he just bought it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Swiss-Neoprene-Face-Mask-Smoke/dp/B003ICTER2
It depends. The tv show definitely follows the overall plot of the comics like the path of the group from Atlanta to the prison, to Alexandria and so on. The tv show adds sometimes major plot points in that are not in the comics (won't say which exactly, you can ask about those).
The characters are partly the same but there are cases in which characters act completely different compared to their counterpart in the comics. And/or they die in different ways (or not at all) in the comics.
Lately, the comics have been following the comics very closely. There were moments or episodes in the TV show that resembled parts of the comic but these past 4 episodes were really close to the comics (and other stuff this season which I won't spoil for you either).
All in all I really recommend you to read the comics. I was in the same situation as you and decided to go for it.
The best way to read the comics would be to buy the compendiums; there are currently 2 of them. They are by far the cheapest way to read the comic.
Compendium 1 ends with the fall of the prison. The tv show is about halfway through compendium 2. I suggest you to buy compendium 1 (see here) and then decide whether you want to read past the current story line in the show.
Start right here. You won't be sorry.
http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-Dead-Rise-Governor/dp/0312547730
Rise of the Governor is already on sale.
Samhein is right.
You can always purchase this too:http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-Dead-Rise-Governor/dp/0312547730.
I got u https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-15th-Anniversary/dp/1534310231/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?keywords=the+walking+dead&qid=1568261090&s=gateway&sprefix=the+walk&sr=8-12
Last year there was 15th anniversary box set with the first 3 compendiums. Nothing announced right now but it would make sense to do one with all four as a complete story set.
https://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-15th-Anniversary/dp/1534310231
Oh you mean the actual issues...
I thought you meant these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Walking-Dead-Book-Bk/dp/1582406197/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343238959&sr=1-5
volume 1 for the kindle
You need to get, starting with this one #9
so you reckon I should get this one: http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1291040363&sr=8-1
$29
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Walking-Dead-Compendium-Volume/dp/1607060760 are these the volumes that you mean, it's going for £30, how many of the comics roughly? Will buy them all if needs be, wanted to get them myself, but would prefer the comics...
Here are the first 48 issues, and the next 48 will be released in the same format on October 16th.
From here
Compendium 2 should be not too far around the corner also since issue 96 is coming right up.
http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760
Here is the mobile version of your link
Marked down to $35 from $60 in the US. And it's in stock.
Buy this. Issues 1-48 in a single book.
He means each volume of the compendiums. Compendium 1 is 1,088 pages. Compendium 2 is 1,068 pages.
There's the iOS app and then there is the comics, books, novels, and compendiums. If you do not have any of the comics yet, I suggest picking the compendium up
I believe you can get them even cheaper online too.
Compendium 1 (Issues 1-50): http://www.amazon.com/The-Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760

Just saying.
relevant
Amazon carries the compendiums. I think there should be 3 now which will equal 150 issues I believe, and will get you close to caught up with the ongoing releases.
You could always read this. Or if you've read that, there's this. Or if you've already made that quest, may I suggest this?
Here is one.
Also here is another one.

Here's a much cheaper alternative.
There's some smaller collections and then there's a $60 compendium of the first 48 issues.
[Amazon has it for $35 :]](http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1321506198&sr=8-1)

Quick question... Is this series of books http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1607067986/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1382290711&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 just a compilation of all the comics?
Here ya go
Got her from Amazon
Not homemade, I have the same one. Amazon link
there's also this which compiles the first 48 issues. It allows you the tactile experience and you can feel less guilty.
It's a novel about the beginnings of The Governor (if you haven't read far enough in the comic books to know that character, keep reading), one of the most evil characters to ever exist in fiction literature.
Here's the Amazon link I used.

Isn't this it? Under 40 bucks.
You can get the The Walking Dead: Compendium One on amazon for around $35.00 which is probably about the cheapest you're going to be able to get it.
Another option would be hit up your local subreddit were you live and see if someone would be willing to loan you the book.
If you're talking about free content...well...you can always pirate them, but that's kind of a dick move and I wouldn't recommend it. Kirkman deserves our support for this masterpiece!
Go buy the trade paperbacks from Amazon...support the author, and you get a physical copy to boot!
That child abuse book that Daryl dropped is an actual book... You can buy it: http://www.amazon.com/Treating-Survivors-Childhood-Abuse-Psychotherapy/dp/1593853122
The only one I know of is
The Walking Dead: Rise of the Govenor, But thats more of a character's backstory than anything dealing with Rick's group.

I’d suggest getting [these] (The Walking Dead: Compendium One https://www.amazon.com/dp/1607060760/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_h5a.BbV94Y0J9)
Going to buy The Walking Dead, Compendium 1 and read it.
They are The Walking Dead compendiums. http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Dead-Compendium-One/dp/1607060760
Compendium 1 goes to issue 48, compendium 2 goes to issue 96.
If you buy the compendium, she is introduced about halfway through it -- right after they get to the prison. You will fly through that thing. Second one should be coming soon. On Amazon I've seen the price of Compendium One fluctuate a lot and have seen it as low as $20.
Here's how my comic shop sold me... Walking Dead #7 just came out along with the graphic novel collection of #1-6. They put one in my box and said "If you don't like it, we'll buy it back."
I was sold.
Start with the first collection. It's $9 on Amazon. If you hate it, I'll send you an $10 Amazon card.

They're available on Amazon if you feel like staying home and having them delivered to you.
I assume you're not interested in them for collecting reasons, so I would suggest ordering The Walking Dead Compendium 1, which covers all the way until the end of the prison arc. Then if you want continue you can order Compendium 2, which covers the story to most likely the end of season 5.
From there you will have to start buying smaller collected editions to continue, starting with the Deluxe Edition vol. 9.

There is a link to the first compendium which includes the first 8 volumes containing issues 1-48. These, because they are collections of the volumes themselves, are a bit more expensive but give you more for your dollar and take it from my experience, the walking dead is a marathon book. You dont want to have to wait for the next one.
The cheapest buying option. Each compendium is 48 issues.
There are 3 compendiums so far, covering 144 issues out of the 152 yet released.
If you're willing to spend ≈$30 on The Walking Dead based only on recommendations, then go ahead and do so.
If you prefer reading a book before buying it, or not buying books at all, your local library will mostly likely have The Walking Dead in some form stocked, provided your town isn't extremely small. (That's how I got into it—my high school had them.)
If you're wishing to remain unspoiled, stop after reading Compendium 2, Book 8, Volume 16, or Issue 96 (all line up with "Knots Untie" AKA S06E11.)
Reading further will spoil upcoming episodes.
Message me if you're legitimately interested in investing in reading the comic book, and I'll give you more details about getting your hands on them and/or reading them without spoiling future episodes.
(This invitation goes out to anyone else as well.)
There's also a Walking Dead book that came out a few months ago. I haven't read it, but it's about the back-story of a character they meet in the comics.
It's good that you are going to start World War Z. I can't recommend that enough.
This is unrelated, but I recommend checking out Breaking Bad. I'm hooked on that right now.
