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: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally begin living. This volume follows our band of survivors on their tragic journey in search of shelter. Characters live and die as they brave a treacherous landscape littered with packs of the walking dead.

This is the 2nd zombie book from kirkman, they try to maintain that excitement level from the very first book and on most levels it works. The art work really stands out, im impressed by the fact that its only grey and white. These books would be the de facto standard if they were in color, this story is meant to be shown like a tv series

There is only one thing better than Volume 1 of Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead.
And that's Volume 2.
The story is great, the artwork is fantastic.
Have I mentioned that this may be the Greatest Zombie Story EVER ?
The Walking Dead: There Is No Substitute.

don't miss out on the walking dead, one of the best comic book series out there right now. one big thing going for it is who the heck knows what's going to happen subsequent or who's going to get unceremoniously waxed at any second. it's post-apocalyptic greatness, and a must-read.

In the second volume of Robert Kirkman's character study disguised as a zombie book, Rick and the other survivors finally pack up the RV and break camp. The idea to stay on the move was vetoed by Rick's partner Shane, but with him gone, Rick is now the unquestioned leader of the group. Rick's young son Carl was forced to kill Shane when he threatened to kill Rick over the matter of Lori, Rick's wife, whom Shane had fallen in love with. However, it seems that before Rick met up with the camp, Lori, who believed Rick to be dead, had sex with Shane, and that fact comes back to haunt the couple in a few ways.
While on the road, the survivors meet Tyrese, a former NFL player, his daughter Julie, and Julie's boyfriend Chris. Although the two groups are initially wary of each other, the new trio soon becomes integrated into the original group of survivors, though not everyone is happy with the new members.
A few times, Rick and the camp try to make permanent residence, only to be continually thwarted by the zombies. However, it seems at times that the zombies are the least of everyone's problems. Glenn is more concerned with a budding relationship between Tyrese and Carol, whom he secretly lusts for, while Tyrese has to deal with the sexual feelings between his daughter and her boyfriend, who he obviously doesn't get along with. While the problems between the people is the core of the story, issues such as the lack of food and shelter as well as the zombie menace makes life very difficult for the camp. One would think that they wouldn't let the little things bother them, but they are all still human.
Overall, these issues are as strong, possibly stronger, than the initial five. Kirkman's writing is great as usual, but the change in artists is very noticable. I don't know why Tony Moore stopped doing the interior art (he still does covers, which aren't included, a fact that I really don't like about these trades), but he was definitely a stronger artist than the current one. It was harder to keep some of the characters straight, and I don't like the way Carl is drawn, especially in the scene where... well I can't tell you, but you'll know it when you see it. He looks very out-of-proportion.
Still, this collection is well worth it. Kirkman is a strong author who shows how, during a crisis, people can come together to do great things. But they can also be very petty and selfish.

The Walking Dead Volume 2 continues to show humanity falling apart. It's not just the living verses the dead. It's the living verses the living. When drastic things happen people also change , weather good or bad. The story as well as the art work has got more gritty.
