The Walking Dead: Survival

The Walking Dead: Survival is a series by Jaga 321. It runs alongside the comic and telltale game series, but follows a separate group in a new location, outer New York. It is organised into 'stories' which are smaller than volumes but longer than episodes/issues.

I - The Dead Walk
The first few weeks of the apocalypse are rough as the virus spreads and people are dying left right and centre. The Isaacs family look to escape the city, forming a group of survivors as they fight for their lives. They travel to a nearby refugee centre where they believe they can stay until the army can defeat the problem.

Trivia

 * Jaga did not intend for this series to have such a similar name to The Walking Dead: Survive, it was simply co-incidence.
 * He intended for his group to end up Woodbury (as run by Lilly Caul) but due to his poor understanding of US geography the survivors ended up a much further distance away.
