The last issue wasn't that great to me but I can't wait to see what happens next.

Posted by limegintonic on 08/12/08 at 01:22 AMThe greatest book ever.
Posted by doddzilla on 08/12/08 at 01:43 AM@Limegintonic This book has the best solicits.
Posted by NealAppeal on 08/12/08 at 03:57 AM:-D big cheese when I see this on my list for the week
Posted by BrikHed on 08/12/08 at 08:56 AMI wonder if those are Rick's hands, Love this book.
Posted by DoctorColossus on 08/13/08 at 04:11 AMthis is my all time favorite comic book ! this is so much fun when you read it on trade but i can't resist myself to pick up the monthly
Posted by hunkiechan on 08/13/08 at 02:13 PM@DoctorColossus - They can't be Rick's hands can they? He only has one.
Posted by stuclach on 08/13/08 at 02:25 PM@stuclach. - Egads I am dumb. I somehow forgot that Rick is a permanent Lefty.
So whose hands are they? I wonder.
Posted by DoctorColossus on 08/13/08 at 08:22 PMThis is getting interesting...I don't get why more people don't read this in issue...It's a great single issue title!
Posted by AlexG on 08/13/08 at 09:37 PMThis was really good. I kind of knew something weird was up but I still thought the ending was spot on.
Posted by CharlieBlix on 08/13/08 at 09:46 PMI love that this book is only like the 17 most pulled book yet curently is the pow of more than half of the counted Ifanbase.
Posted by thisisegan on 08/13/08 at 11:05 PMI haven't even had a chance to read the rest of my books yet, but I can't imagine them being better than this. Masterfully done.
Posted by flakbait on 08/14/08 at 09:45 AMEven though the single issues of this book are extremely quick reads, i simply cannot stand to trade-wait this book. I don't mind waiting for the nice hardcovers though.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 08/14/08 at 09:53 AMI was actually dissapointed. I felt like the storytelling rules in this universe were stretched a bit too far.
Posted by ThomasKaters on 08/14/08 at 03:46 PM @hisisegan the people that read this know its the best...
am I the only one who thought "I bet he's imagining the person on the phone" as soon as he picked the phone up?
Posted by deadspace on 08/15/08 at 04:04 AMSPOILER
@Deadspace Yeah I thought that at first too but I don't think the fact that he was imagining the voice was as big of a deal as the fact of who was on the other side in his mind. That and the fact that he is the one who figures it out yet he doesn't care all that much... he takes the phone... that's kind of deep.
Posted by CharlieBlix on 08/15/08 at 10:45 AMThe moment with the phone and it dawning on him -- WOW.
Posted by thebouv on 08/15/08 at 11:52 AMDamn. This was awesome. This definitely should have been issue 50.
Posted by ActualButt on 08/15/08 at 03:06 PMman... that hurts.
Posted by gat0rl1vebeatz on 08/15/08 at 09:22 PM*SPOILERS*
Does anyone think it was actually her ghost talking? Even though the voice said it wasn't, maybe she's a sensitive ghost & doesn't wanna freak him out that he's not only living in a world of zombies, but ghosts too?
(I'm only throwin' the idea out there, I'm not totally serious about it.)
Posted by WadeWilson on 08/16/08 at 07:50 AMSPOILER
@WadeWilson I really doubt it. I'm pretty sure Kirkman wouldn't want to go down that road with this comic. I know it has zombies in it but it has been keeping to a pretty real feel. No aliens (Yet) or angels or demons. I guess its possible but I hope not. This book has been great and I'm not sure how I would feel if spirits started to walk around in it. It sounds weird to say that a zombie book is realistic but I think this book is.
Posted by CharlieBlix on 08/16/08 at 09:42 AM@CharlieBlix -- It does sound funny to say this book feels realistic, with so many dead bodies walking around (lol) but I know what you mean. The characters feel like real peolpe and you care about them all more than most comic books, maybe becuase when they die they actually stay dead, not like in other comics.
Posted by WadeWilson on 08/17/08 at 07:03 AM
I just realised the irony of saying "they actually stay dead" in a book about zombies lol, but hopefully you know what I'm sayin'.
Posted by WadeWilson on 08/17/08 at 07:05 AM*spoilers*
Are we seeing this world's version of Grant Morrison's Bruce Wayne unfold here? Rick is gonna lose his mind before he loses his life....
Posted by jobob247 on 08/17/08 at 11:08 PMThis was nothing short of epic.
Posted by astoriajohnstons on 08/18/08 at 03:20 AM





can't wait, this is my favourite book right now.
