Briefly:
You asked for it.
We weren’t sure about the novels–reports/reviews are that they are far more graphic than the TV series.
Decision:
We’ll have the graphic novel series available to you soon. They are mature, for teens, but not over the top.
At Chaffey, we bought issues 1-17 (all that are currently available). At Colony, I asked the public library to purchase as there is adult appeal to all fans of the program. They jumped right on it and ordered the two book compendium of the graphic novels.
Zombie happiness all around? 🙂
Take a living walk into the library soon!
