It's probably under-appreciated atm tbh.
The book that pushed things forward a few years and set up the new society that is now the new 'Walking Dead World'
Without it, there wouldn't be stable trade routes, co-operation, fishing, and of course new characters and threats.
Outside of #1-3 and #19 (possibly #92 if Jesus sticks around) - then #127 and #132 might be the next biggest keys.
Certainly with time #27 and #53 are losing their 'status' - and first apps like Tyreese are already forgotten by most.
#132 may be a fizzer if Alpha gets whacked in the next 10 episodes, but #127 will always be the book that advanced the entire Walking Dead Universe to a new place.
I agree. Issue #127 seems like a winner long term but I think #27 and #53 are and will remain bigger long term but who knows. If Magna and Zombie Bernie become big players, the sky is the limit. (thumbs u
In hindsight, you are probably right about #27.
I dunno about Abe - great character that was killed off way too soon imho.
It will probably come down to how long he lasts on the TV show.
Although he lasted nearly 40 issues (?) in the book - there is no guarantee he won't die in the first one or two episodes of the TV series - and in all truth, the real $ spike in #53 came when he appeared on screen.
Always regret selling my copy
Well that's why I was wondering. I'm not a speculator by any means, but I was tipped off on 127 and decided to buy a bunch (6), but I see them on eBay for just a little above cover, so wasn't really sure. I don't mind holding them.
