Description: 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 The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility.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, the survivors are forced to finally start living. Lori's pregnancy has come to term, and the birth is near. After everything they've been through, nothing can prepare Rick and the other survivors for what they are about to experience. A major turning point in the series is reached. Reprint Edition. Waterstones The Calm Before - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

Review: I decided to read the comic books after being an avid fan of The Walking Dead tv series for years. Volume 7 is quite different from the TV series. The general story is the same but the specific parts and adventures of the characters is very different. That's why I gave this the 5/5. The character development is well written and the plot takes brilliant twists and turns. Perhaps most enjoyable though, was how the theme of survival is handled. It is more fleshed out than in the series and peoples reactions to the zombie apocalypse is covered well. I'd recommend this volume as it differs quite a bit from the TV show. That being said, I would add you'd be best placed if you had read Vol 1-6.

Review: Liked these books, although the TV adaptation has refined them into something better. Found this series a little tiring in a way, because all the characters die after a while, so you sometimes wonder what the point of following them is - at least on the TV series they occasionally have a few weeks of peace on a farm or starting a community in a prison. But my main complaint is that I did not think of the idea first - I started writing a zombie novel only to discover these graphic novels had got there first, rendering my idea redundant!
