About the authors
First and foremost a comic creator, Kirkman has seen groundbreaking success in the adaptation of his comic book titles into major franchises in all forms of content. In 2010, his Eisner award winning series, The Walking Dead, was developed into an AMC television series. It has become a worldwide phenomenon as the highest-rated basic cable drama of all time and is the #1 show on television among the coveted 18-49 demo. The property has also been extended into a blockbuster game franchise, licensing business and ongoing publishing success.
Kirkman also serves as consulting producer of The Talking Dead, the popular talk show hosted by Chris Hardwick that deep dives into each week’s episode of both The Walking Dead and its companion series Fear the Walking Dead. Kirkman is co-creator, writer and producer of The Walking Dead’s companion series, Fear the Walking Dead.
He is also executive producer of the AMC series Robert Kirkman’s Secret History of Comics, and the Korean pre-apocalyptic drama, Five Year. Kirkman’s popular demonic-exorcism comic, Outcast, was adapted, produced and airs on Cinemax.
For the big screen, Kirkman will produce Invincible based on his long-running popular comic book. The project will be written, directed and produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg for Universal Pictures. Other credits include AIR featuring Norman Reedus and Academy Award nominee, Djimon Hounsou.

The Walking Dead Volume 7 continues the story of former Normal-World Police Officer Rick Grimes and those that he comes in contact with in a New World...a world that has been over-run by zombies.
Volume 7 begins about 9+ months after The Walking Dead epidemic started ( The Walking Dead, Vol. 1: Days Gone Bye ), and all of the characters are now reluctantly beginning to accept that their home is not the only thing that's new. Their entire existence is new: New families. New friends. New daily routines. New rules to live by. No cable TV. No grocery stores. No air conditioning.
New World.
And venturing out into The New World is dangerous. The confines and security provided by the characters' home (established in Volume 3 ) are less than safe. But outside the gates await unfathomable chaos and horror; hordes of the undead, along with other survivors (see Volumes 5 and 6 ) in desperate situations that do the unthinkable to stay alive (or entertained).
Volume 7, like Volume 6, is much less about zombies and more about what happens to society, its morals, laws and standards when government is lost and the planet becomes mostly uninhabitable. There's real, heartfelt emotion in The Walking Dead series combined with believable scenarios...not bad for a comic book.
The volume releases of The Walking Dead are like reading a screenplay with storyboards of a version of Night of the Living Dead that began simultaneously, but in a different part of the country (much like George Romero's late 2007 release, Diary of the Dead). Yes, The Walking Dead is kind of a rip-off of a story (stories) already told, but the key is that it's done very very well. The zombies are true to the original Romero creation: slow and stupid as opposed to the 28 Days/Weeks Later ( 28 Weeks Later / 28 Days Later ) or 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead fast and thinking zombies.
Each Walking Dead volume only takes about an hour to get all the way through, and they leave you wanting more. And they seem to keep coming; The Walking Dead Volume 8: Made To Suffer is due in early 2008.
Volumes 1 - 7 are all available individually. A hard cover combination of Volumes 1 & 2 is out ( The Walking Dead Book 1 ) and a hard cover combination of Volumes 3 & 4 also came out this year ( The Walking Dead, Book 2 ). The Walking Dead Book 3 (Volumes 5 & 6) is listed on Amazon for a late 2007 release as of this writing.
So anyone in need of a very well done zombie fix that you don't put into your DVD player should absolutely get down with The Walking Dead sickness. Add it to your cart, but be sure to start with volume 1 and read them chronologically.

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.
