Has there been a NYCC roll call yet? I might be bringing some goodies with me.

 

-shawn

I'll be there all 4 days! And most likely be buying stuff from Skybound every single day (like I do every year). I'll say what's up if I see ya Shawn!

Two more Negan Kills variants, but otherwise no TWD exclusives at NYCC:

I just picked up a Cover B ( Adams ) of 157 from my LCS

 

 

Looks even nicer in hand.

 

I think I'll get a set of 9.8's of these. They will look awesome.

 

 

Was 157 under-ordered? Are you guys all seeing sell outs in your local area?

My main comic shop was out of both covers when I got there (an hour after they opened on Wednesday)

My secondary shop was out of the Adams cover

Wish I could have made it.. we were all set to take the 4 hour drive this morning when a family emergency came up.

Wish this was an annual event so at least I could say "I'll make it next year"

Definitely would have stopped by the Skybound booth.

Oh well, looked like an awesome event.. glad everyone had a good time!

Pretty cool to have the backdrop of Cynthia for the cover! Makes sense, of course...just really cool. I bet the owners of that Italian restaurant are stoked (I would be if I owned it, at least)!

 

Regarding the most recent issue:

 

 

Did anyone else think the reaction by Gabriel when he's in the tower was a bit overdone? After seeing his gasp, I was expecting to see hundreds of hundreds of walkers (or something worse) but instead it's like 80. Granted, there's a tree-line probably hiding some in the distance but it wasn't a massive herd or anything like we saw from the Whisperer's Camp earlier on. Gabriel does like to be a bit of an emotional basket case so maybe that's it...I was just expecting more based on his expression.

 

 

 

I thought exactly the same thing when I read it. Certainly didn't look like an overwhelming number of walkers. I thought I missed something and looked all over the page for clues as to a different threat.

 

I did the same thing.

 

Can't wait for part two.

He's fairly new at this.. I wonder if his reaction means that he's not as prepared as he thought he was

Has every seen the Walking Dead Day variant by Tony Moore? ?

Did everyone see the full Art Adams spread? IMO they're truly badass

 

 

Enormous image warning:

 

 

 

These covers are so amazing.

Agreed! You got a true legend to do these covers.. well done!

Enormous image warning:

I feel like the demand starts going down every October when the show starts.

It seems like TWD prices are highest during the break. Anyone else agree?

Got mine in today. I cannot believe how great the packaging is on this thing. It's going to be very hard for any of these to get damaged in shipping.

 

The edition size is 3,000. I love this statue. I hope they make additional Saga characters in this scale.

 

Really glad you like it!! We worked long and hard to make sure she was packaged properly. The last thing we wanted was for her to break in shipping. Same goes for the magnetic connections. We feared that if she took a soft tumble, the magnets would help keep the breakage to a minimum, especially the tail.

 

We're definitely looking at other stautes in the future.

Great news! A Marko or Ghüs statue would rock

 

Here's a pic of mine.

 

 

That looks sweet! The paint job is clean . Agree on the marko and Ghus statue.

We need Alana too.

Make them all! Prince Robot, Hazel, Isabel..

But MOST importantly Stalk and The Will

 

 

Man, i'd hate to be on the cover with Michonne alone.

 

RIP Abe

RIP Aaron

 

 

 

I'm thinking they are definitely going to fade to black and not show who dies. Which is unfortunate, because it's an unnecessary gimmick that does not further the story. A much better ending to the season would be seeing the death followed by showing the aftermath of a beaten down Rick and the group reeling. The suspense for next season would be "how are they going to come back from this" rather than a cheap, "who died."

 

I AGREE and will be very upset if thats how things turn out this Sunday. One thing you didn't mention is that I feel the idea to wait until next season to find out who dies via Negan's bat is a shameful ploy to get higher ratings for next seasons premiere. They can make much higher profit sell ad space for a 90 minute (Im guessing) premiere if millions will be turing in to see the guaranteed death of a main character. Just look at what they did with Glenn under the dumpsters this season.... UGH!

I respectfully disagree with you both.. here's why:

When Negan first showed up in the comic, he kills Glenn and we hated him for it. We immediately wanted revenge. It's all we cared about. We wanted Negan dead.

Rick tries, time and time again, to exact that revenge but Negan out-does him every time. Eventually we realize that we're dealing with a far more adept 'bad-guy' than we've ever have before. We start to learn more about Negan and we realize that he has his reasons for doing what he does. For many of us, he is now our favorite character.

He went from being the character I hated the most, to being my favorite. That's a pretty impressive turn for a 'villain' to make.

If Negan kills one of our favorite characters this Sunday, it will be painful. However, we will have 6 months for our rage too cool and our pain to heal. Whereas, if he kills on Sunday, but we don't know who.. We'll spend 6 months living in tension. And then when the season premier hits, we'll see that death. We'll lose that character, we'll crave that revenge, and we'll have 8 weeks of episodes to watch Rick try to obtain it and fail miserably.

I feel it's important, for Negan's character development, that we don't lose any of our 'anger momentum' after he kills whoever it is that he will kill.

Superman pulled that mask off so hard that it some how wiped off all of the makeup around Bruce Waynes eyes!

The connecting covers were released after the 2nd printing of issue #100 was released

Why would the second print come in higher than the first print? The cover or is it a smaller run?

The first print had about 15 variant covers and a print run over 300k I believe.

The second print is the only cover to show the entire character, it's harder to find in high grade due to the black cover, and it has a significantly lower print run

You would.

That article says he'll appear in the mid season finale? How is that possible when that's already been filmed and is 3 episodes away?

At best, it will be the end of season finale.

I don't think he is dead. It would suck for Maggie not having closure by not knowing what happened to him haha

That's what gets me with this whole thing.

Let's presume that he died. He would have been completely devoured, right? There would be no evidence of his death, nor would our group have any idea where to search for him.

You know Rick, Maggie and Co. are going to want to search for him when he doesn't return. And with no evidence of his death, that search could last forever.

There's going to have to be some sort of closure.

The dialogue with Michonne/Rick was some of the best of the series. Love the zombies, but the depth of the story is why I come back. That was some couch talk ish right there. Super emotional and well done.

Completely agree...

Powerful stuff

Anyone at NYCC know where I can buy some Dead slabs?

I hope so as well! The Lee figure is pretty damn awesome but I was really hoping for a comic book figure!

I (and everyone else) was really hoping for a Comic

 

And everyone gets one but you (thumbs u

 

 

 

 

If they do, it'll prolly be another reprint of #1 with some unknown up and coming artist.

 

Sorry I'm a hater

I'd be happy with that

Shawn's busy watching football.

 

Busy crying. What a horrible game.
