Charles Adlard Book order

The world we knew is gone. The world of commerce and frivolous necessity has been replaced by a world of survival and responsibility. 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: no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, the survivors are forced to finally start living. Reprint Edition

Life in the prison starts to get interesting for Rick Grimes and the rest of our survivors. Relationships heat up, fizzle out, and change entirely almost overnight. By the end of this volume, relationships between key characters are radically changed, setting the stage for future events in The Walking Dead.

Mulder and Scully appear in comic-strip investigations as they pick up the pieces on the trail of a vengeful organ donor; get to grips with a choking ghost, run into static from an abductee who's out to foil intrusive aliens; and pursue a vampire.
