Digital Comics: Walking Dead #1

Digital Comics: Walking Dead #1

Hello Digital Comics! On occasion I will review something that I've read digitally. These will be quick reviews since some of these books will be ones that I've read before.

Walking Dead was the first comic I downloaded, and why not, it was free! It was also my first look at seeing what a comic would look like on a tablet. The tablet I have is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 screen.

Now I have read the original Walking Dead comic several times over. I have read this issue as a single issue, part of a trade, part of a hardcover, and part of a compendium. So how does it read digitally? Not too bad at all.

Now for this issue, this digital format works great. I still get some great detail on the art. Tony Moore was the original artist for the series, and it always shakes me up a bit when I see it. But Tony Moore is great. Seriously. I keep this comic on my tablet as a way to show people what a great comic looks like digitally.

The panel transitioning is great. Since there aren't any double page spreads or anything like that, it really gives you a closer look at each individual panel. That's were you really get to Moore's artwork shine.

Cost: Free
Overall Comixology Rating: 4/5
My Rating: 5/5
