So finally carrying on with the walking dead graphic novels.
Since getting my iPad I have had a resurgence in desire to read graphic novels
as it is much easier to read than on my kindle. So, the second volume continues
where the last ended. Rick and the group are dealing with the aftermath of
Shane’s death before deciding to move their camp, hoping to find somewhere
safer to settle down. They are still at this time hopeful that this is going to
all blow over. We have some new character additions with Tyreese and his
daughter Julie along with her boyfriend Chris as well as the group coming across
Hershel’s farm. If you are a fan of the TV show, as I am, it was odd to see a slightly
different family group at the farm.
Over all the story is still engaging and moving forward this
is still the early stages of the crisis and most people are still hoping that
they will be saved soon. It will be interesting carrying on to see where the
characters drawn the line and realise they are not going to be rescued. A
really good point is addressed in this issue, about how this crisis is changing
people. That people are being pushed to commit acts they would not normally
contemplate. However the interesting aspect is how the characters deal with
this change in themselves. How some people are not concerned about what they
have done or why they did it, but they are worried about how they feel about
it.
I am looking forward to carrying on and luckily as I have
come to reading these novels so late there are many for me to sink my teeth
into.
