With The Walking Dead, Mr. Robert Kirkman has put Speranza fashion by creating the best comic of this type that has ever been done, and Planet Comic brings us the first of the eight volumes in which he collects the complete work

There are comics that entertain, others that learn and some that capture you completely and change the way of looking at a genre. Deaths walkingin his first volume of compilations published by Comic planetIt is one of those few. Far from the pyrotechnic show to which the television series of AMC (Sometimes brilliant, sometimes irregular and finally disappointing, even if always above their insipids spin off), The comic of Robert Kirkman It grabs us by the neck from the first page and does not release us. And it does not do it using terror as a tool, which would be expected from a comic book of live dead, but with rough emotions, impossible situations and difficult questions.

Apocalypse as an excuse (and as a mirror)

Kirkman clarifies that his story is not really zombies. The live dead are there, yes, but not as protagonists, but as a suffocating background that serves to tell a deeply human, ruthless and moved story. Kirkman’s narrative voice is honest, direct, without ornaments, and for this reason. His style is like a slap in a world that has lost meaning.

Every dialogue, every decision, every moral dilemma that faces our main protagonist, the sheriff Rick GrimesAnd yours forces us to look at each other and ask ourselves what we would do instead. At the beginning this can remember that of the film 28 days later (Released the year before the start of the publication of this series), we are given the keys to what the story will be: we do not know why, but a zombi plague devastated the planet and the survivors on the first wave must join small groups and form new companies in a world in which the rules we knew have ceased to exist.

Art: tension in every blow

In this first volume we find the work of Tony Moore In the first numbers and what a joy. Moore has a clean and expressive blow, which knows how to balance horror and emotion with rare talents. Their zombies are repugnant but credible, their characters breathe, feel and suffer. And despite everything, seeing other works by the artist gives the impression that everything went well here that it would be years later.

Then insert Charlie AdlardWhich would be the main cartoonist of the series during almost all his career and although the change of style is not evident not to be ignored. In fact, there may be readers in the dark that they do not even realize the change. Adlard brings a dirtier and more dark blow, perfect for the tone that begins to darken while the story advances. What is lost in detail is earned in the atmosphere. Among them, they build a visual narrative that masterfully completes Kirkman’s script, full of sobriety and strength.

A world without rules, a comic without concessions

The Walking Dead is not afraid to break with what was expected. Kirkman does not protect his characters or idealizes them. Each page smells of despair, to impossible decisions, to decomposed humanity. And in the middle of this, what surprises is that there is still room for hope, for love and family, although always on the point of the disappearance.

It is that contrast, that constant tension between the brutality of the world and the fragile warmth of human ties, which makes this comic a work that goes far beyond terror or action. This is an emotional narrative masked by the story of zombies.

If you saw the series and you liked it, the comic will make you fly your head. If you have not seen it, much better, since this first volume is the perfect entrance door of a universe that is not on the dead walk, but to live the disconcerting to live between what they were and what could still be.
Kirkman and the company did not come to tell you another story. They came to drag it. Once you enter, you can’t go back. And the best has yet to come …
