I'll go you one better; I don't buy black and white comics. Except this one.

I'm a fan. I'm somewhat lukewarm on Invincible (started strong, now kinda mores me) but WD.... day-um.

I swear by Walking Dead whenever folks ask for my suggestions on new books to read. I like to describe it as a TV drama with zombies thrown in as an afterthought. Glad you're aboard!

i'm waiting for the new one to come out, my friend made me borrow all of his...last one was suppose to come out in trade last month edit: seems like it doesn't come out until august now =/ i ended at volume 9 i think, right when they were leaving for dc with the new group of people =/ :S is it worth it to pick up the single issues instead and get caught up so i can start picking it up as it comes out? and does anyone know which issues i would need to get to be caught up? :S also found it funny that like halfway through the comic the main character starts to look like chuck norris XD

i get impatient a bit in reading the tpb's :S because i hate the wait =/ i only pick up a few comics as it is XD deadpool since that never seems to get a tpb =/ the dark avengers and thunderbolts :S and one or two dc comics here and there like battle for the cowl (is only 3 issues long, so yea *shrugs* but this i keep looking for number 10 in tpb XD but now i have to wait until august to get it :S bad enough i have to wait till august to see gi joe (unless they show it at SDCC XD) but now this too i just wish they would bring tpb out faster :S

yea, i might check them out next paycheck XD i like picking up tpb...

Dude, I told you this is a badass series! lol

Glad you're loving it. I need to get the last couple trades myself to get caught up.

Been with from issue one and am more excited month to month. TWD is the last book I read-like dessert,because it always delivers more than I thought it would and helps wash the bad taste of lesser comics out of my mouth.. I believe this is Kirkman's most consistent book. Try reading the big hard covers-they read like movies.

I have the Walking Dead Compendium Vol 1. Which has issues 1-48. it's heavy and thick enough that you could in the event of a zombie infestation use it for:

1. reading while taking a break from running from zombies
2. stopping a zombie from biting you by jamming the book in it's mouth.
3. bash the zombies head in with the book.

:D

Us Windy City folks are especially lucky in this regard, as our public library system has an *outstanding* TPB collection. There's still the occasional trade that I'll go out and purchase (Mouse Guard, for example), but you can read the complete run of Sandman, Preacher, Y: The Last Man, Fables (up to the most recent trade), and Hellboy (ditto) without having to spend a dime - provided you return them all on time, of course. They've also got the usual mainstream titles like X-Men, Batman, all the Ultimates titles, and about a zillion copies of Watchmen (I think it was the "Chicago Reads" book for a month).

Personally, I pick up Walking Dead in single issues, but I'll check the trades out of the library if I don't feel like digging out the longbox...
