I gave up on this after #50 where it was revealed it was a big alien invasion. I thought that was taking the cheap way out. That really ruined the whole book for me. Here they had this great story...and then caved to the cheesiness. I hope they don't go the alien invasion route with the TV show, but I am sure they will. :(

From Diamond Comics today........

 

 

To our retail partners –

 

Last month, Image Comics released the 100th issue of The Walking Dead to near-universal acclaim and the biggest first week sales of a single comic book since 1997.

 

We couldn't have done that without you.

 

When Robert Kirkman first launched The Walking Dead in 2003, orders were under 10,000. In fact, they were just a hair over 7,000. But we sold out immediately and within a few months, sales were moving upwards. Better still, thanks to your enthusiasm and support, sales have kept moving upwards – if not every month, then most months – and today, The Walking Dead is being ordered in quantities almost 10 times that of the first issue.

 

That's a true success story – not just for Robert Kirkman and Image Comics, but for the entire Direct Market.

 

Everyone at Image, as well as Robert's Skybound imprint, is incredibly appreciative of your hard work and support. We wouldn't be here without you – this industry wouldn't be here without you – and while we may not say it nearly often enough, we are eternally grateful for everything you do.

 

With that in mind, we're sending you a special limited edition variant for The Walking Dead #100, signed by Robert, and featuring the now infamous Lucille. This is one of the rarest of all the variants for issue #100 and will not be available for order, and it's our hope that it helps to convey our gratitude for your business and your continued support.

 

So again, from Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, everyone at Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, and myself – THANK YOU.

Apparently there are only 500 being distributed.

 

NOT every Diamond acct is getting one.

 

per a post on CBIA:

 

The formula was Top 100 orders and the top 400 greatest percentage changes to their regular number.

Please for the love of god NOBODY spend that $750 the eBay insufficiently_thoughtful_person is asking for. If you do I officially quit collecting this series and will move back to trades.
