"The Walking Dead" Compendium Comics

"The Walking Dead" came from somewhere before it was a hit TV show. It was first created as a comic. I've been a fan of the show for a couple of seasons now. It captured my attention almost straight away and even made me cry, which is not something I usually do when watching TV. 

After the last season ended on a cliff hanger, it really got me wanting to know what happens next. Plus we all know that TV and movies don't always stick to the script, so to speak. 

I choose the compendiums because they are all the editions of the comics wrapped up into on book. It makes it easier so that I don't to buy each individual one, which would be a lot of money and time. The compendiums are huge but totally worth it. I breezed through these compendiums. The books are huge but it't not hard when the book is made of mostly pictures. 

I truly loved the experience of reading the true "Walking Dead" story. It was amazing to see where the comic and the book differ. The comic definitely had a slightly less than TV friendly demeanor so at times it made sense that they changed the story. Even though I love the TV show story line, it was really cool to read the comic and get this whole other side of the story. Because even though the settings of the show may not be too different, the people and events have differences that make the comic a whole different story and a great story companion. 

If your a "Walking Dead" fan, you should definitely get your hands on these comics. It's such a fun and exciting read with as much cliffhangers and plot twits as the show. There are characters that are still in the comic that don't even make it past the first season of the show. It's truly a different side of "The Walking Dead." Can't wait till they compile the next set of comics into the 4th compendium.

Ciao,

P.S. There will be a new book review coming very soon! Check back soon. :)

HAPPY THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

It's that time of year again! Happy Anniversary Book Bound ! (Real anniversary is the 30th) Three years have flown by. Like every anniversary post, I like to reminisce and I feel like this one should be no different. I think everyone who starts something never really knows how it's going to go or if they can even keep doing it for so long. But when I started this blog, I knew it was something that felt right. It was something I knew that I could really see myself consistently keeping up with. And maybe my posts are not as frequent as I would like, but that doesn't make it any less of a success. It can get hard juggling life and having to read the books and make the posts. It's definitely time consuming when I don't have all that much time. But this post isn't a pity party. It's a celebration of 3 years of doing something that I love to do. It brings me much joy to my soul and that's all I can really ask for.

I also wanted to catch you all up on my latest literature adventures. Recently, I have really been loving comics. I know this is a bit off the path of what I normally review on this blog but I thought I would change it up for just one post and make a comic review. The particular comic I will be reviewing is "The Walking Dead." I have all 3 compendium's and I have already finished the first one and am loving the second one. I'm a huge fan of the show and was just dying to know the true story. I was considering doing an individual post for each, but reading the comics doesn't take too long. And I also wanted to just make one post about my comic experience so I think I will be able to cram all that into one post.

And as always, I wanted to thank everyone of you that does take the time to read my posts or comment and contribute to the blog. I thank you with all my heart for allowing me to feel like my dreams are real.

Ciao, xoxo
