The Walking Dead

XIII · Post by **XIII** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:42 am

So in May, Image Comics will release a massive Walking Dead collection. Issues 1-48, in one book, 1088 pages, for $60.

That might be an incentive for me to get it.

So, without spoiling anything, could someone tell me if it's worth it?

Jezus, $60?! I'm getting that. Glad I never got anything before. $60?!! How will it look?

Softcover I think.
I'm thinking something along the lines of the Bone One-Volume Edition.

This is in the sollicits, I suppose? God, I'm getting that.

And not unimportantly, where'd you learn about the news?

And VERY important: check Amazon.co.uk. It's listed for 31,50 pounds, which converts to about 33 euros.

Wait a minute...

... Arn.

Why, in the first place, are you not reading it already? This does not compute.

I feel it's actually strange that you are asking the question, "is it worth it", because I would naturally assume you would have pre-existing knowledge confirming that it is, as you are our walking encylopedia of comic knowledge. I mean, if you can tell me about a series like Bone, I expect you to be more aware of a top 3 publisher book. *tut, tut, tut*

Tell me you are reading Invincible?

No I don't read Invicible either. Of course I have heard about Walking Dead. I can tell you it's written by Kirkman, it was first drawn by Tony Moore before Charlie Adlard (of Codeflesh fame) took over.
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's the book that SET the zombie craze.

yes, you need to read TWD. (Do I really come off as loving it that much?...huh.)

then thank all of us verily for pushing you.

and Invincible, too. Might as well pick up the first 2 trades and don't ask questions. Please just do as you're told.
