Complete story — includes the ending
Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes is shot on duty and enters a coma, awakening to a post-apocalyptic world. He meets survivor Morgan Jones and his son Duane, who explain the pandemic that changed people into undead monsters they call "walkers." Morgan's wife, Jenny, was bitten and resurrected but Morgan let her go. Rick cleans out the firearms cage at the police station and sets out with a gun bag. He gifts Morgan a rifle to put down Jenny, but Morgan can't gather the strength. Rick departs for a safezone in Atlanta to find his wife Lori and son Carl, unaware that they are safe with his partner and best friend Shane. Rick finds Atlanta filled with walkers and gets trapped inside a tank. Alone and losing hope, Rick hears a voice on the radio.
