why arent we up to 120?

 

im sure there were delays. theres a reason the original artist never seems to last more then six books on a book (see: Marve NOW Deadpool) before "moving on"

I really don't know the answer yet TBP. I will get to the bottom of this and figure it out exactly what happened. bffnut has given me a lead, so I'm gonna follow that. brb

im going to say it was delays during the first arc

This is the answer. No need to look any further.

These are not the droids your looking for. Move along.

Maybe I haven't done enough research on the walking dead, but I just thought of something.

10 years = 120 months

If WD is issued monthly, then shouldn't we be at issue #120? Did I miss something? I must have. Anyone? Thanks

 

Yes you did miss something. Fortunately we have managed to keep it from you up until now both here and on the internet in general. The rest of the world is 5 issues ahead of you!

Are you serious? Think of all the OA I have missed. Thanks Garf without your help I would have been broke, divorced, and homeless. Thank you for holding back. (thumbs u

 

hehe

I just went through the entire run and found that there was a lot of 2 month gaps in between books release dates. Some issues were even released twice a month followed by a non-released month. I didn't keep track of all issues and figure out when it stopped. I haven't been collecting since the beginning , but I have been since #91 and there has yet to be a 2 month gap. Man I would hate to wait 2 months in between issues. Anyways, here's some examples of the gaps I'm talking about... Hope this helps for those who don't know. I can't even fathom what it takes to write, draw, ink, produce, distribute, etc for a book once a month.

Hum...mmm

Any ideals if I should get someone to fill it in? Or keep it raw? As a collector not sure which way to go....

[Awax]

Raw.

 

Use a 109 for a sketch if you really want one.

[James J]

Raw.

edit: seriously though it would be cool but Wrightson would be wasted on a blank ... still cool though.

Anyone else feel like the storytelling gets more and more decompressed as the story goes on? When this series started it had a fairly brisk pace, with slower periods and longer scenes to add emphasis in certain spots. I feel like the arcs have grown more drawn out, and the overall story has been grindingly slow for about a year or two. I feel like I'm always waiting for the next arc. I hate to say it, but I feel like Kirkman's books are falling into the trap that event books usually suffer. Am I alone in this feeling?

(oooh the art is up on Splash... still think there is better stuff to come in AoW i.e. key moments but certainly a couple of memorable ones here)

Tempted by a lot of the pages especially 18, 20 and 22 but just can't justify spending that much on a page when I got my Issue 10 OA for £150 4 months ago
