    <![CDATA[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. Rick Grimes finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying future. A couple months ago he was a small town cop who had never fired a shot and only ever saw one dead body. Separated from his family, he must now sort through all the death and confusion to try and find his wife and son. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally begin living.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The opening gimmick is copycatted from '28 Days Later': hapless dude (in this instance a likable cop) wakes up in hospital to find himself amidst a silent zombie apocalypse. But then Kirkman takes us on a much more tedious ride, involving burly square-jawed males, freckly twentysomething goils and grisly brain-eating zombies. The comic demonstrates that zombies can be just as dull and predictable as us campfire-confessional humans. The saving grace is Tony Moore's art -- axes splitting heads in half, zombies tugging jugulars with their teeth (in the rain), grizzled cop on horseback trotting into desolate Atlanta. (Speaking of which: if this shit is set in ATL, why only one brief black character, and zero queer characters?) Worth a look for Moore, but don't expect much more than that. ]]></body>
