As I've already said, for those of you who faithfully follow this series nothing I can say here will ever approach the utter intellectual delight and base sense of dread and foreboding you feel when you read the actual comic book itself. And for those who have yet to read it, I believe the best way--as always--is to start from the very first issue. grows more absorbing as it goes, revealing more exciting and complicated reasons to want to follow a story where, in a zombie-infested apocalyptic hell, the few surviving humans somehow prove with increasingly horrific means that they are, truly, more monstrous than the undead. As an IGN reviewer avers, "If there is better, more consistently thoughtful character work going on anywhere in mainstream comics, I'd like to see it. Kirkman is a master at peeling away layers of a character's psyche, and Charlie Adlard has the expressive chops to convey those complex emotions." Indeed IGN again bestows on issue #68 an "Outstanding" 9.1 out of 10 rating and its Editor's Choice Award. Following IGN's ratings system, I'd give the series an "Incredible" 9.8 out of 10. Hands down consistently the best ongoing comic series today.

is an American monthly black and white comic published by Image Comics beginning in 2003. The comic was created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore (replaced by Charlie Adlard from issue #7 onward) and chronicles the travels of a group of people trying to survive in a world stricken by a zombie apocalypse. Thus far the series has been divided into 6-issue story arcs, with issue #60 being the conclusion to the 10th story arc entitled, "Those Left Behind."

Following IGN's ratings system, I'd give the entire series an "Incredible" 9.8 out of 10. . Apparently from the general acclaim, a whole lot of people think so, too.

is a ongoing comic book series written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by R. M. Guéra, published monthly by Vertigo Comics. Issue #1 was published on January 3, 2007. Right away the series' style can fairly be described as a fusion of film noir and western elements in a modern setting concerning organized crime on the (fictional) Prairie Rose Indian Reservation in South Dakota. It is a no-holds-barred tale about past mistakes, bold moves, and a proud people brought low by lies, violence, and corrupt men and women. The artist, R. M. Guéra, uses the colour brown predominantly, with blue and green monotones to emphasize starkness and aiming for a gritty, grimy, sleazy look. Shadows, the desert and the glaring sun are used to emphasize a sort of stifling atmosphere. Aaron for his part intersperses many allusions to noir prose authors and to the western genre in the names of his characters and in his titles, in a sort of pop homage. Graphic and violent, yet among the most consistently good titles of Vertigo. Never to shy away from a controversial topic, Scalped's issue #39 tackles unwanted pregnancies in a new story arc, "Unwanted." It received great reviews from all over.

was a three-issue horror comic book mini-series written by Steve Niles, illustrated by Ben Templesmith and published by IDW Publishing in 2002. All three parties co-own the property. The series takes place in Barrow, Alaska, so far north that during the winter the sun does not rise for 67 days. Vampires, being vulnerable to sunlight, discover and then flocked to Barrow to take advantage of the prolonged darkness to feast upon the town's inhabitants. Initially an unsuccessful film pitch, the series became a breakout success story for Steve Niles, whose previous works had received relatively little attention. It was also the first full-length work by co-creator Ben Templesmith. The series became a surprise hit, revitalized the horror comics genre and jump-started the careers of writer Steve Niles and artist Ben Templesmith and has been followed by numerous sequel series, all of which, including extras, are included in this compilation.

is an American monthly black and white comic published by Image Comics beginning in 2003. The comic was created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore (replaced by Charlie Adlard from issue #7 onward) and chronicles the travels of a group of people trying to survive in a world stricken by a zombie apocalypse. The series has been divided into 6-issue story arcs. Issue #66 concludes the 11th story arc entitled, "Fear The Hunters." It is also one of, if not the, most chilling issues ever. And it may yet be the most brilliant and finest work Kirkman and Adlard have done together as a creative team, so much so that IGN has given issue #66 an "Outstanding" 9.2 rating and an Editors' Choice Award for the comics week of October 14, 2009. As I have always been saying, IMHO the best among all the comic book series currently ongoing.
