The Walking Dead #193 by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard is out on Wednesday. It is a much-anticipated issue, with Robert Kirkman teasing the possible return of Negan. Everything is up in the air, given the plot machinations of recent issues. And Robert Kirkman is planning lots of surprises within those covers.
Details about this issue will more than likely start to leak today. If you'd prefer to not be spoiled, I would recommend being very careful online until the issue is released Wednesday. It's a big issue in more ways than one. #understatementoftheyear pic.twitter.com/xSAr3EjR75

Well, he's being very literal folks about it being bigger in more ways than one. Because The Walking Dead #193 is a squarebound comic book, with a 71 page long story. Three-to-four times longer than you may have expected.
And here's the proof.
And no extra charged. So how long before some retailers complain about added freight costs? Well, when they find out what makes this book so special (no spoilers in this post), they'll soon stop complaining…
This is going to sell. And sell big. Image Comics made it completely returnable to up retailer orders. But who is going to want to return this? Especially when you learn… but no. Still working on that article…
