I just finished book one of the Walking Dead comic book series this last week.
It was great!
It starts off with rick waking up alone in a hospital full of zombies. He then meets Morgan and Duanne and he provides them with guns and a police cruiser. Rick heads for Atlanta hoping to find his family. He discovers that Atlanta is now a city of the undead and is almost trapped but Glen, a survivor, rescues him and takes him to the survivor camp where he finds his wife, Lori, and son, Carl. They live in the camp for quite some time until Shane, Rick's best friend and Lori's lover when they though rick was dead, Snaps and tries to shoot Rick so everything will go back to normal. Carl sees what is happening and shoots Shane first. It is soon after that they all decide to try and find a more protected place to live and Lori tells Rick she is pregnant, it is believed that the baby might actually be Shane's because they had a one night affair on the way to Atlanta.
They all pile into the motor home and find Wilshire estates, a gated community. They believe that it is safe but after the first night they find it is completely infested with the undead and they have to abandon the food and housing they found there. It is after this catastrophe that Rick, Tyrese, and Carl go hunting to look for food in the woods. Carl is shot by a hunter from a nearby farm and Rick takes him to the farmer who is also a vet in hopes that he can help. Carl recovers and the group stay at the farm until the owner, Hershel, loses his sons to zombies and forces them to leave. The group is once again wandering in search of a new home, which is when they come across the prison. This is where the first book ends.
