The cover to the second compendum is awesome (except for Michone, I don't like how she is pictured), but the rest of the cover is amazing.

 

Are they auctioning it off?

[Nico Esq]

I don't know. I saw it in previews. I remember it took a while before the art from the first compendium was solicited. I'd just email who ever you deal with at Splash Page about an potential sale. In my opinion it is one of the best covers I've seen on any Walking Dead comic(s). Let me know what your opinion of it is. For the record, my only complaint about Michone is that I'm shallow Hal when it comes to women and prefer the starved look to a musculer build (plus I think her facial features are too hard), but that is how she's been drawn my lots of artists. She has the same look she had in the Phillips cover of WD 100.

yeah, sometimes they draw Michonne very masculine, and sometimes she's very feminine. i DO wish they'd stop going back and forth.

[Nico Esq]

She looks like rather androgonis at times. If she was always portrayed as such it wouldn't bother me, but as you indicate the various faces and body types gets annoying as hell. Come to think about it, none of the characters look remotely similar from arc to arc. I fear that I may be suffering from cross-racial-gender identification bias or I'm just happy to see her drawn as a sex symbol than not. Neither option is a good thing, but at least I'm conscious of it.

take for instance, the sean phillips cover. i love the color, but michonne looks like benicio del toro.

 

walking dead #94 image expo makes her look much more sexy, except it looks like she broke her nose at one point.

I wonder if they are trying to show her age? Carl hasn't aged with haste, but Michonne has been looking worse and worse as the series progressed. The way Tony Moore drew her on the cover of Walking Dead 19 is how I picture her body in my mind and I've always pictured the African American female character in True Blood is how I picture her face (probably b/c there were so many rumors about her taking the role and True Blood killing off Tara (the name of the actress escapes me but you know the character).

much as i like adlard, i think he just doesn't draw her that well (phillips too). i mean, there's probably 10 different looks for her. but yeah, WD 19 is her best look, and a damn fine look too.

they did kill off Tara from True Blood but now she is a vampire

Why do the zombified versions of the characters on the second compendium cover have eyes while the regular versions don't? It's flip-flopped.

[KONG]

I just got this WD 100 box in the mail. Thought I would flip it but I'm kind of digging this little screenprint, here's a crappy iphone pic.

 

 

Also included the Escape variant which I'm not sure was mentioned.

[Lethal_Collector]

^ That's rad KONG! I'll give ya $20 for it
