What's the cover for #57, guys...did I miss it?

 

Oh wait...the lame Rick and son hiding behind Abraham...not feeling that one. At least they are kicking out some great Zombie covers as of late.

 

Now, considering that #57 was delayed for at least 2 months...we now have some time before the next issue...bummer.

The Walking Dead #58 cover:

 

 

Now, after reading #56. I have to ask myself if Abraham is helping Rick, or finishing him off... :think: It seems Rick is becoming very clumsy as of late.

[PEP]

I think they're playing tackle football.

Good news, straight from the mouth of Robert Kirkman

 

I don't see myself ever handing this book off to someone else. If I wanted to stop, I'd just end the series.

 

Just to be clear, I DO plan on ending the series... eventually, just not for a long time.

They have different covers.

 

Vol 2 has Michonne and vol 3 has the Governor...

Amazon does that. They use the prvious image and recolor it to use before the official cover is out. Not sure why they still are using it now...however if you order volume 3, you'll get the governor cover.

ah i see, thanks (thumbs u

This really isn't any news; everything has a beginning and end. I prefer to know that no one else would handle the series, though.

pretty steady rise in sales. amazing how few early issues sold.

[PEP]

How many issues were printed of the first 5 issues?

[CDaBruce]

This will be of interest to many of you... The next Romero "Dead" film. I didn't even know this was being made.

 

Romero's ...Of the Dead

 

Any one know when this is scheduled for release?

Yep, I'm VERY excited for it

 

Even though they made a poster with it, I believe the "Of the Dead" title is just a temporary working title and will probably change. I haven't heard anything about a release date yet, but hopefully there will be some more news soon

 

 

There are some more pics and info here:

it's just listed as 2009 and still in process of edit. the filming started in sept of last year and this is a pseudo sequel to diary (as long as he doesn't cast another canadian whose character is from baltimore "what is that aboot?")

 

i hope he gets a few more out before he becomes one of them...

Agreed, I'll be there opening night for anything he pumps out, dragging my wife along for the ride

[User 01001010]

my biggest issue was diary didn't have a true "release" premiered at toronto and the weinstien's didn't give it the national domestic release it should've gotten, the way diary was handled, it should have been land of the dead that got the non release and diary get a full release.

 

atleast it's on bluray (after i got the regular sd release because i wanted to see it so bad).

 

ash, were you at the balto con?
