I was thinking about this earlier today and maybe someone can help me.
What issue was The Walking Dead on when it got picked up by AMC? And what issue was it on when the show actually aired? I have only been reading comics casually since the end of last summer and I have only started speculating since the beginning of this month.
There is a lot of hype for issues that are less than a year old (Mind MGMT, Revival, Peter Panzerfaust, Thief of Thieves), but they still seem so new. And then you see The Sixth Gun that gets picked up in the late #20s.
