Robert Kirkman‘s The Walking Dead: Book One
Most people who know me know I am a huge fan of The Walking Dead. Well, to be clear, I was a huge fan of the show. I just received a hardback edition of The Walking Dead: Book One, which is a volume containing quite a few issues of the comics, all presented on slick, […]
