Book Overview

The bestselling start of the original Walking Dead series, now in mass market In Robert Kirkman's Walking Dead universe, there is no greater villain than The Governor. The despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury, he has his own sick sense of justice: whether it's forcing prisoners to battle zombies in an arena for the townspeople's amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him. The Governor was voted "Villain of the Year" by Wizard magazine the year he debuted, and his story arc was the most controversial in the history of the Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover The Governor's origins and just how he became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.

Customer Reviews

A must read for fans of the walking dead

This book is absolutely amazing. Fans of the show and the comics will love this book, even if your'e just looking for a zombie book to read this is the book for you. Ive read this book twice and both times I had a hard time putting this book down once i picked it up.

Amazing twist

I recently got into the comics and was referred to check this book out. From beginning to end, this book was amazing. Anyone who has watched the show or has read the comics knows the governor as the villain, which is why you'll find disappointment in yourself for falling for this character in the beginning. I suggest anyone check this series out. I'm in the middle of reasing the second book, The Road to Woodbury, and it's just as good.
