How many people here have READ The Walking Dead?

[Thorn]

Read them all. Love them though I always liked the first artist much more.

yeah, i second the notion that they should have stuck with the 1st artist. not that the guy doing it these days is bad. hardcover #6 is out, should be getting it for christmas this year.

i have read only up to issue 48. keep meaning to read on but something else always gets in the way.

I haven't read any of the comic books...maybe that is a good thing? Would you rather you didn't read the comic books or are you glad you did read them?

Agreed. IIRC there were creative differences between Kirkman & he, plus he was taking to long to get the art in? Shame, as his stuff was wonderfully detailed & all of the characters & zombies were "distinct". When the change occurred it was a bit jarring & a lot of the "personality" was lost IMO. But it's serviceable. I haven't read any of the comic books...maybe that is a good thing? Would you rather you didn't read the comic books or are you glad you did read them? Hurm. Good question. On one hand, it's good to be able to compare & contrast, on the other you know what's coming. However, they've said they're not following the comic 100%, that there are plans to change it up A BIT, so even if you HAVE read it, there's no guarantees there won't be surprises further on down the road.

I been reading it since the first trade paperback. And buying and reading them ever since. That was back in 2004! Where does the time go LoL!

I have been reading since issue#1 came out and about issue 50 or so I switched to the trade... I prefer that now because some of the issues are a very quick read.
