I sharted.

'Sup Doug. Don't worried, I feel both series plays well off each other to draw comparisons. When one doesn't "deliver" in one aspect, the other "usually" does. Both series are great in their own ways.

Care Bears But, I agree Crossed goes places The Walking Dead doesn't.

I thought if they were going to do a pilot to be released at Halloween, fine, keep it at that. After it turns into a smash, then announce it's going to be a series starting in February or March after the holidays, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Season One. People would have went crazy with anticipation until February. Now, if they do a maneuver like that, people will just forget about it like the "V" reboot. Right now, it just reeks of silly programming, but I am hoping for the best.

I have been worried AMC has marketed The Walking Dead all wrong since day one of posting it's release date. This show should have been released at the end of August or September and had it's finale on Halloween night. A lot of horror movies do this, because they don't play as well into the holiday season. I think the pilot will have huge ratings, but the rest of episodes will struggle. To me, they dumped this show(into a novelty time of the year) hoping it will find an audience and comic fans might not be enough, IMHO.

Well, sorry if a comparison with another horror show on cable was made. I mean, if Mad Men was brought up instead, I could see you having a legitimate gripe with the discussion. But really, how many horror TV shows are out there that last? Especially, one that is being released into the Christmas season after a major recession? ...and from reading your spoiler, it sounds like your bored of the series. Drop it then. I did at #33(it had gotten so ugly), but came back by issue #44(when I understood Kirkman's storytelling skills). I remember people on different forums complaining the series got too campy with the antics Governor and then after issue #48 hit, there was silence and only anticipation for the next issue. To me, this is a story about people trying to make it through a zombie holocaust once society is turned upside down. Kirkman is constantly putting his characters through hell and misery and we as the reader are supposed to connect to their plight as they make it through each obstacle with them. Kirkman is always winding us up for the next "D-day". When that happens, there will be anticipation for the next issue. Like it or leave it.

OK, back to Crows. These are a "friend's".

Sorry, but the winner was not a board member. Next rumor? I'm having fantasies about Lady Gaga. Is that bad? But, seriously the buyer got a great book.

I forgot.

Believe the Hype!

My eyesight isn't as good as it used to be.

Don't worry about it. You like good vampire stuff. I remember you said you liked Let The Right One In. It's my favorite vampire movie ever, if not one of my all time favorite movies. I hear from a lot of people how they hate it and think it's boring. It surprises me they don't get it.

Still have to watch them

I agree with Jeff. I went to Borders today and they had a special section of Walking Dead trades right next to the Twilight Saga: Eclipse stuff. I was so stunned, I had to stop. I'm used to these trades being ignored by the staff there. Word is getting out. I'm betting Hot Topic will be getting zombie make-up, TPB's and hoodies eventually for Halloween. The mainstream has yet to catch up and when(and if) they do...

Me too!

A valued opinion (thumbs u I liked the #3 issue the best though. (thumbs u

MAJOR LEAGUE KUDOS to EvilAsh, Deaf Mute Comics(Jay Franklin & Jason Daniel) and artist Billy the Kidd for setting me up with a very limited C2E2 CGC 9.8 SS Deaf Mute Press book signed and sketched by Bill Dinh and signed by Jason Daniel & Jay Franklin. It's my new favorite book.

I light my lighter out of respect for that rockstar of Ye Old Lore of Yore and his eventual triumphant return. Oh no, my books are on fire!

Now, I feel guilty and I promise to visit your threads more.

It should be. I fast tracked it, last week. Out of all of the raw Ye Old Lore of Yore books that have been trickling into my PO Box, it was the only one that I could find in a strong 9.8 so far too.
