    Have Books 1 - 9.

    The one thing I love about this epic story is that no character is safe in the world they now live.

     
    Over the course of the books we have has many shock deaths. Particularily in Book 8. I did think the unthinkable and believed that Rick had died in book 9. I still reckon he will be killed off soon though.


    Book 10 won't be due out until the autumn probably, but I do keep my fingers crossed that they will find a schedule for the collected editions release dates that is more rigid than the schedule type they employ currently.

    As a matter of interest, does anyone buy the monthly editions? If so, what number is that particular part of the series up to?

    Yep, reading the graphic novels too. Or should I say my girlfriends graphic novels.

    Would love to see this done as a film, or a series. Unfortunately, a series about the living dead would be insipid...like most TV shows.

    Just wrap the text you want between the word "Spoiler" in brackets with a / in front of the last Spoiler...like this: [spoiler <---example]Text to be hidden[/spoiler <---example].

    Or just quote me to look at how i set this spoiler up:

    Remember when you were a kid & you thought "This sucks. I never have any money & don't get to do what I want! I can't wait 'till I grow up."

    Then you grow up & think ""This sucks. I never have any money & don't get to do what I want! AND I've got all these bills, AND a bunch of stress, AND I've lost my hair, AND...."

    The moral of this story is wish I was a kid again or life sucks or something...I forget now....

    I've pretty much followed this series from the beginning. Missed Issue #1, but I own #2-#60 and the first three trade paperbacks. Kirkland's writing style has matured greatly since the beginning and that's probably the reason I keep reading.

    Good series.

    I read volumes 2-8 (since that's what my library has), and that's it. It's pretty good. I don't "love" the series, but I've read worse. Much worse, actually.

    I've been reading since issue #1.... my only complaint would be having Tony Moore back for art. The current guy is good but Tony's work is great IMO.

    I agree with this sentiment.

    Please don't remind me of the unbreakable super-katana

    And yeah, that was some badass art.

    Around $75-$350 dollars depending on the artist, and what the page content was. Splash pages like the one above go for the high end of the price range.

    Here is a link to some art from the series...

    Never been a big comic/graphic novel fan, but I had heard of this before and it's now looking really quite interesting to me. Thing is I already had a few books/films planned to buy, and me being as conservative with money as I am even a £5.99 price for the first volume makes it tough to decide.
