1st Novelization of 'The Walking Dead'


In between seasons, what is a Walking Dead zombie fan to do?  Go out and get yourself this novelization of the Robert Kirkman franchise, that's what!

 Rise of the Governor, which will be penned by Kirkman himself, as well as horror novelist, Jay Bonansinga (Stoker), will be the first in a trilogy. Amazon describes it as follows:

Following in the footsteps of the New York Times bestselling graphic novels and the record-breaking new television show, this debut novel in a trilogy of original Walking Dead books chronicles the back story of the comic book series greatest villain, The Governor.
In the 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 arc in the history of the Walking Deadcomic-book series. Now, for the first time, fans of The Walking Dead will discover how the Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.

What do you think? Will you be reading this one?
