Well, he could always keep out of the topics about the comic.

So I create a thread and now I have to leave it behind me, so as to avoid spoilers...
So sad is the life of message boarders...

I know it suffered huge delays, I know it's in B&W and I know D totally loves.
What I don't know is : should I read it?
The big zombie thing that is going on at the moment made me want to stay away from it so far.
But I would hate to pass on a great book.
It is not delayed so much anymore. Kirkman has done serious work to get both his books out on time now, and it is working.

Let's not forget the Astounding Wolf-man.

Another kickass title.

Brit got the axe, tho. Which sucked, I liked the story with his sister as the established main character.

Well, how would it look if he went around giving lessons to everyone on online video and yet, couldn't even manage to get 2 books on time?

I was speaking of the delayed Invincible and Walking Dead.

Astounding Wolf-Man has not had any major delays.

Remember, it started as a bi-monthly title.

That might be an incentive for me to get it.

So, without spoiling anything, could someone tell me if it's worth it?
That is a great deal. For my 6 paperbacks I paid roughly $10 a piece for them which will come out to the same amount.

As for if its worth it. It's a zombie/horror comic and you said you're not into horror so I don't know if you'd like it or not. I'd recommend reading a few issues (the first entire storyline actually) to see if you like it.
