why does walking dead#1 go for a good amount of coin?

Some of these doubters are jokers! Why do people always doubt walking dead? It is a revolution!

 

WASHINGTON -- "The zombies are coming!" the Homeland Security Department says.

 

Tongue firmly in cheek, the government urged citizens Thursday to prepare for a zombie apocalypse, part of a public health campaign to encourage better preparation for genuine disasters and emergencies. The theory: If you're prepared for a zombie attack, the same preparations will help during a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake or terrorist attack.

 

 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency hosted an online seminar for its Citizen Corps organization to help emergency planners better prepare their communities for disaster. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year first launched a zombie apocalypse social media campaign for the same purposes.

 

Emergency planners were encouraged to use the threat of zombies – the flesh-hungry, walking dead – to encourage citizens to prepare for disasters. Organizers also noted the relative proximity to Halloween.

 

Among the government's recommendations were having an emergency evacuation plan and a change of clothes, plus keeping on hand fresh water, extra medications and emergency flashlights.

 

 

I don't think that "mainstream zombie awareness" and the internet meme "zombie apocalypse" were not popularized in any way, shape, or form due to The Walking Dead comic or TV show, but more so due to the influx of zombie movies & video games that came out in the very early 2000's. The Walking Dead happened to be riding on those coat tails.

 

Do I think that it is currently hot?

 

Obviously it is.

 

It will continue to gain in popularity as long as the show stays interesting and AMC does not change the night or the time slot, and of course, when the big screen movie ultimately comes out.

 

Then you will see the peak full value of TWD #1 realized, and those buyers at that time will be the ones getting bent over, I do believe.

Tony Moore is the reason the book is so hot.
