To celebrate the casting news today I'd like to share this CGC book from my collection....

Negan has been cast.... Casting News!!!!

Congrats on the re-read! I do it once a year and love it every time! I'd add... Sandman HellBlazer Watchmen Ex Machina Not sure i would put East of West on the list just yet...

or John Black. :: Glad you liked it... Walking Dead is, after all, a soap opera for nerds.

Second issue was great... I need to win the lottery so I can buy the issue #5 cover!!!

Only because I fancy myself a creative person, here are my thoughts on a good ending to Glenn's story... (I am assuming he lived through the last episode, somehow). Glenn gets bit multiple times by walkers but somehow escape the herd. His physical fight with the infection and turning into a walker is coupled with a mix of hallucinations and flashbacks (similar to Tyrese's death). The hallucinations include him making it away from the herd ok without getting bit. He also hallucinates meeting "Jesus" (the physical character from the comic and some religious implications, maybe a white aura around Jesus' head when they meet). The flashbacks include his recent memories with Maggie and learning she is pregnant and they are expecting their first child (from the comic). Both the hallucinations and flashbacks are coupled with Glenn's current struggle in the woods to return to Alexandria. He is "turning" but fights it off, focusing on seeing Maggie one last time. Note that while in the woods Glenn DOES meet Jesus and this meeting is sold to the TV audience as a hallucination but it actually happens. Glenn story ends when he arrives at the gates of Alexandria. This arrival is coupled with (and TV edited with) one last hallucination. Glenn slowly walks over a hill and into Maggie's arms, a hallucination of a happy ending with a brief story about how he escaped. In reality, Glenn does arrive at the gates of Alexandria in a much different way. The camera close on his face, and with all his strength and the last bit on humanity left he utters the words "M...M... Mag... Maggie." He then yells "MAGGIE". (his last words are straight from #100 of the comics). Multiple tenants of Alexandria hear him yell including Maggie, but knowing immediately that is it Glenn, she is able to run faster than anyone, fueled by adrenaline, to get to the gate first. She gets to the gates, pulls it open to see her loves fate. The TV viewers see for the first time how bad Glenn's injuries are at the same time Maggie see's him. He is overly bloody and being carried, a motionless rag doll, in the arms of Jesus. He is clinging to life and his wounded are clearly fatal. Jesus hands Glenn to Maggie. Maggie takes Glenn into her arms. He is still alive but barely. They share a glance, they do not speak. Others from Alexandria arrive and are seen reacting, in slow motion behind Maggie. Glenn and Maggie are reunited long enough to for him to die in her arms. Fade to black.

Is that why he's wearing a shoulder holster in those pics? Maybe Stephen Yeun has to protect himself from the throng of groupies constantly stalking him and he's packing heat? Or Jesus is visiting the set?

I don't think there is any room to doubt what happened to him. But it needs to be resolved and finalized.

Are all the Wolves dead now?

Next week 90 minute episode is a Morgan flashback... we must wait two weeks or more until we find out about Glenn.

Glen was very close to the dumpster (regardless of everywhere else)... any chance he climbs under the dumpster somehow?

You didn't submit them for on site grading? Just dropped them off at the booth under their regular tier timeline? -J. No on-site grading at NYCC... I got fast track of course.

I submitted 5 yellow label books at NYCC, all 4X signed....

Bingo good article. Way too coincidental she decides to leave the same day the town gets attacked. There was a short moment, when Carl tells her she's staying and he'll protect her. He sits down on the floor, with his back to her, and she pulls out her knife, standing over him...then turns and sits with her back to his. For a moment there it looked like she could be attacking him, just before she sat down. I noticed that, too. I agree with the article, too much coincendence going on for her not to be a spy of some sort. Wasn't she saying that a place like this has to many blindspots and that's how we.....and carl cut her off and he didn't catch that unless i misheard her trying to confess to him that she's been spying to them. We were shown her WHOLE origin story at the beginning of the episode, why would anyone think she is a spy? This Spy theory was debunked at the beginning of the episode.... duh!

Yes. Boston, MA. But small sample set; the shop only had 4 copies (noon Wednesday). Indentation is not exactly in the same spot as all 4 copies. But it's on the back and a quarter inch long. Yes, Midtown comics in NYC had some of the dinged copies... I had to sort through a bunch of copies to get gradable ones.

Invincible by Michel Fiffe (of Copra fame).

FYI there is a signing on Thursday October 8th at Forbidden Planet NYC from 8p-10p with BKV and Cliff. This is also the first night of NYCC. I am taking bets on if they will be late to the signing.

Us New Yorkers love our Invincible!

Really?

Its PLANNED as on-going... but sales do make a difference.

Sean said this series is slatted for 10 issues minimum but could move beyond that depending on sales. He is signing thing Saturday at the Barnes and Noble in Park Slope Brooklyn for Batman Day.

Best quote from issue one!

I agree. The art work is stellar and the story is thick and detailed, you get so much in one issues it;s great!

Anyone read the first issue yet?

Next week!
