Agree - great issue. Kirkman is hitting his stride again. And my first letter submitted to Letter Hacks got published! I'm the guy asking them to do Issue 200 in full color cover to cover. So I'll take credit if they actually do it

Looks like Mollie has been busy adding all these 15th Anniversary issues to the Walking Dead Complete with Variants set. Looks like all the individual store variants of #1 are there 136 of them! When you add in the 65 blind bag books, it looks like this set is going to go from ~425 to 600 books. Anyone bold enough to try and get 9.8 Signature Series for all 201 of these variants? Good lord, that is one crazy amount of books added in a single day event.

In the Talking Dead after show, Gimple commented that there will be AMC-produced Walking Dead movies in the future and there is a strong likelihood that we will see Rick again.

I like the book a lot in the series and the new characters. I decided to part with $110 and got #127 in Signatures Series signed by Kirkman and Adlard (plus in a nice new holder)

Agree it would be great to see this build-out to the set. Plus the 100+ variants for the store editions of #1 15th Anniversary.

Hi Mollie! I would like your consideration to increase the Registry points for The Walking Dead Issue #2 (Image Comics) The points are far, far too low. Here is my reasoning: #1 in CGC 9.8 is 8,400 points and sells for about $2,400. #2 in CGC 9.8 is only 400 points and sells for $1,200 to $1,400 about half as much yet the registry is only 5% as much. Consider the circulation numbers. I understand the impact of a #1 book but TWD #1 had 7,266 issues published while #2 had fewer at 6,067 published. This is apparent in the Census numbers; #2 is a much more rare book than #1 in 9.8 condition. #1 has 1,002 graded in 9.8 or 9.9 out of 2,971 which is 33.7% #2 has 225 graded 9.8 out of 1,363 (no 9.9s) which is 16.5% so less than half as many books are graded 9.8 than #1 and less than 25% as many books available. I have spoken to "Sensei Ryan" who holds the top position in The Walking Dead Registry sets. He agrees that the #2 issue should be in the 3,000 to 3,500 point range. Is this something you can address? I am sure all the participants would appreciate recognizing the value and rarity of The Walking Dead #2. With thanks, Tom (BladeTX in the Walking Dead #1-48 Registry Set)
