    How many people here have READ The Walking Dead?

    I searched and did not see a thread about this, and was curious. I myself have read the first 68 issues...to not give any spoilers, I'll just say that I am very curious to see how (or if) they deal with some of the...incredibly "adult" type issues, torture porn scenes, etc. But I thought that the pilot was awesome, and while not 100% true to the source material, it was pretty dam close.

    Been reading it since roughly the sixth issue. I'm a bit behind now, though, due to terrible economic times for my girlfriend and I.

    Almost positive I first heard about it from Danny (hellsing). Memorieeeeees.

    I'm right up to date on the books. I'm sorry to say, though, that I have downloaded a few issues from torrent sites, due to the fact that I can't always get hold of them, or money is a bit tight. But I have bought more than I have stolen.

    I nearly bought a 5 inch thick compilation book of it last weekend in York, but in the end I couldnt justify spending the £45 on it, I may treat myself over the Xmas period though

    Only seen the first few issues at a buddy's house. I'm glad that's all too. Continuing the show with fresh views.

    I did read The Walking Dead.
    Of course it was a different 'The Walking Dead. ' a four part series put out by Aircel comics in 1989.
    According to Wiki, neither the 89 or 04 series are related (other than the title. )

    I've switched over to the trade paperbacks, as they're much more durable to read and loan out.

    Not reading replies backwards to avoid spoilers, but I've read up to about issue 65 or 70 (read through the 'Hunters' story arc). I find floppys hard to keep up with nowadays.

    Just said this on another thread - I have the first 2 hardbacks (12 issues a piece, 24 in total). Not read them yet though.
    Oblivion gallops closer, favoring the spur, sparing the rein - I think we will be gone soon

    Yep, so it WAS you that first turned me on to it.

    Props to my brother from another continent.
