The Morning After: The Walking Dead Vol. 8

If volume 7 of this series ended on a jaw dropping note (which it did!) volume 8 did little to rectify the situation.

I must warn you now about the imminent zombie danger within the rest of the post and by zombie I mean ******Spoilers****** People tend to take zombies and spoilers very seriously. you've been warned.

On my nightstand 11/15/10

On my nightstand to read right now is the next (in my current ownership) volume in this Gem of a series by Robert Kirman:

Volume 8 of Image Comics The Walking Dead. My wife and I have been reading this book together (She holds the book and I turn the pages because I'm the slower reader) It is really an excellent series and the end of Volume 7 left me with my mouth agape wondering what was going to happen next.

You can read the first single issue for free on the image comics web site but be warned this story takes place in a zombie infested world and the people that survived can be pretty horrific.

If you don't like reading you can always check out the adapted for TV version of this story on AMC

What is a Comic Long Box?

Comic long box? You are one of two types of people you either know what it is (you nerd, or in some cases my "I keep tripping on these things" frustrated wife) or you have no idea. It's really quite a simple concept for those who don't know what one is. It's a box. A long box. It stores comics see:



Why is this place named for a box? I know that you are asking yourself this burning question and the answer is: The comic box represents society's love affair with entertainment. Most, if not all, of people's hopes, dreams, and desires can be represented in the stories collected within the long comic box. Also all the other blog names I wanted were taken.

I will focus on books I am reading although I must warn you I am about a year behind current releases. (I took a break from collecting to focus on silly things like a college education) There will also be movie, TV, and video game talk.

I am a fan of stories in any medium and I will try to pass on my over saturated and rather pedestrian view point onto you so that you can be over saturated too.
