the Cover that got me on board of Kirkman and Adlard's "The Walking Dead"

I am immune to peer pressure. I didn't start reading The Walking Dead even though all my friends were raving about it. I mean, an ongoing zombie comic? Yawn. But then they put a sister with a samurai sword taking her jawless pet zombies for a walk on the cover. You know what happened next...
Here's the Sales Pitch:
The group has a visitor, but is she friend, foe or worse? Where did she come from? How did she survive? Can she be trusted? This is the beginning of a new story arc, an excellent jumping-on point for new readers. The quest to rebuild civilization starts here.









In a move designed (I guess) to capitalize on the AMC television show debut, Walking Dead publisher Image comics decided to re-release the issues of the series on a weekly basis in a reprint series entitled (wait for it) The Walking Dead Weekly. A pretty slick way to make some extra bread from a really good comic. In case you haven't tried it, and my cosign means anything, this comic is the shit. You should check it out. click here to cop The Walking Dead, Book 1 and prepare to have your guts ripped out regularly, as Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard kill off characters you love (or love to hate) on a regular basis! If you prefer to fuxwit the Weekly joint, issue #19 just dropped this past week. Get 'em while they're hot!
later.
