Police officer Rick Grimes and a few human survivors battle hordes of decomposing zombies.

Police officer Rick Grimes is shot on the job and wakes up a month later to find that the world that he knows is gone. Zombies have taken over and are killing and eating those who are still alive. He sets out toward Atlanta in the hope that his family is still alive and endures many horrors along the way.

"Three classmates who make their living (literally!) by acting as agents of the Z Loan office and dispatching zombies ... are hot on the trail of an elusive psychopath known as 'The Butterfly.' ..."--from p. [4] of cover.

Rick and the other survivors start to live under Negan and the Savior's rule, but someone is not willing to go along.

"The world we know is gone...In a matter of months society has crumbled, no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. In a world ruled by the dead, we are forced to finally start living."--P. [4] of cover.
