I'm all about being pushed as a reader, but I just don't see the story sustaining itself without Rick.

 

This has even concerned me regarding the TV show. Let's say they get 3-4 more seasons, plus this new spinoff. The show is going to start outpacing the book in regards to story lines, and I'd imagine we'd see some type of resolution or ending when the series concludes at a point when we're barely over 200 issues.

 

This is all within the context of the book keeping the same format. It's such a massive cash cow for Image/SkyBound, that I'm sure we'll start seeing spinoff titles and the overall growth of the WD universe. I'm OK with them doing this, but we all know it may be good, but it won't be the same.

 

All the more reason why pre-100 (and really pre-48) art will be coveted down the road.

I'm sorry guys maybe I'm not the true fan I claim to be...... Cause I have never seen this before. :eek:

 

Can anyone tell me please, where this "pilot" story is located in one of the books?

 

http://walkingdead.wikia.com/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_Pilot

 

It's in the recently released 10th anniversary issue #1. I think it was also in the collectors edition of #1 (the one with the cover swipe of #50)

There's also a pretty cool interview with Kirkman and Eric Stephenson (in the 10th Anniv) where he talks about how he pitched the story to Image and how he lied about the plot to sell it! lol

Just go this back yesterday. Marc Silvestri was doing free sketches at Comikaze in Los Angeles. Waited in line forever but it was definitely worth the wait. One of the most down to earth and friendliest artists I've ever met.

I got the guy from CGC to come by and wait in line with me. There were 2 other people that wanted their sketches graded also so he had time to waste :-)
