While the graphic violence is what makes this series especially striking, it's also notable for exploring some alternative solutions that you don't see in most superhero stories. Later in the series, there's a fascinating focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment, looking at how people can try to work together to make the world/universe a better place instead of engaging in increasingly destructive battles. Plus, it gets larger and larger in scale, leading to some really epic events. I don't love everything that Kirkman has done, but I feel comfortable saying that this is his masterpiece.
I've never read the comics, but I think I own the first issue somewhere in my long boxes. My oldest son and I love the Prime series for sure. Great post!
Great read, I really enjoyed the first series on Prime, but am yet to watch the second and start reading the comics

I like the focus on rehabilitation. That further encourages me to keep reading.
Kirkman created "The Walking Dead" and this thing? He must be, as Daffy Duck would say, "comfortably well off..."
Yeah, I think he's set.
