The Walking Dead hitting sixth spot on the chart might be a factor in this. A four week August compared to a five week July saw sales drop by a fifth as you might expect But notably, sales are up on last year's five week August…. It's also a good launch for Multiversity… and Harley Quinn continues[...]

This wasn't just the normal Crossed, this was The Walking Dead The barbed wire, the charismatic leader, the family unit, the earnest attempt to make a better world. But was this all a complete coincidence? Was Sutter really a Rick Grimes analogue, having to do things differently in the world of Crossed? This was the moment I[...]

Cop heroes are the default of many screenwriters. It's no surprise that Rick Grimes, the hero of The Walking Dead, is a sheriff, since he represents a need for order and reassurance After all, why couldn't he be something other than a cop, like a plumber or an accountant? The writers of the comic and the[...]

We salute you, and the keenness you bring to your passion. And this week, the behemoths of Batman fights The Walking Dead, the Amazing Spider-Man and Original Sin, but even without Greg Capullo, and Scott Snyder stepping back, it still beats out the zombies, spiders and sins. Just. Batman #34 by Scott Snyder, Gerry Duggan and Matteo Scalera, published by[...]

This could indicate a smaller price rise at the publisher with more titles moving from $2.99 to $3.50 or $3.99 – or it could simply be the new Walking Dead collection being released, taking the top of the graphic novel chart Meanwhile, IDW pushed both their marketshare for dollar and unit sales ahead of Dark[...]

Marq Romero writes, At San Diego Comic-Con I participated in The Walking Dead Escape at Petco Park I participated in the obstacle course last year as a walker at New York Comic-Con, but this time I was going to actually run the obstacle course as a "survivor" and then later on get zombified to scare people on[...]

But, if you are big fans of The Walking Dead, all I can say is that you really might want to pick it up. Chew got its big break as a back up preview in The Walking Dead #61 Now it's time to return the favour. I'm also told, by Chew writer John Layman, to expect increasingly[...]

It is decidedly different from Kirkman's perhaps better known horror book The Walking Dead (you may have heard of it), yet it is still on par in terms of its quality and execution. I had a chance to have a really fun chat with series' artist and rising star Paul Azaceta about all things Outcast, and[...]

There are zombies in this week's issue of The Walking Dead. We cannot yet say when the zombies will return but enjoy them while you can. While the Usagi Yojimbo Special has its own undead invading peaceful meditation Somedays you just can't get rid of a ghoul. Judge Dredd also has to find some inner peace rather than[...]

The Daily Mail has run a rather visual report on filming for Season 5 of The Walking Dead But how much of the Season 4 finale have they spoiled in doing so? And did they even mean to? When we left the TV adaptation of the Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard comic book, our[...]

I understand that not only has Outcast #1 by Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta sold out of its print run from Diamond Comic Distrubutors (out in stores tomorrow and going to second print for next month) but that its total sales dwarf both new arc jumping on point The Walking Dead #127 and the subsequent[...]

The human race is facing extinction and should they succumb so too shall the vampires disappear beneath the waves of rotting walking dead. Extinction Parade: War opens the doors to the next violent chapter in Brooks' epic tale with an oversized issue starting the all-out battle for the survival of the races! This SDCC 2014 edition is limited[...]

Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire! The second print of Walking Dead #127 takes the top with the upcoming #128 close behind The new time-jump issue seems to have brought folk[...]

And they begin with the most recently completed Walking Dead story, All Out War. Similar formats from other publishers see the original art boards for the book reproduced as closely as possible, at full size on board pages, and bound with other matter that puts them in context. But since this book will collect the original  Charlie Adlard's[...]

Following on from the Three Hundred and Two Hundred Dollar Club runaround eBay, here's a look at modern day comic books that have recently sold copies for over a hundred and fifty dollars.  All raw copies, no slabbing here, no variant covers, no artificial collect-ability, just the standard books that, if you have them in your[...]

Today's issue of The Walking Dead has big changes for the comic I've been asked not to even hint at what they are, so fair enough It's something Robert Kirkman has kept hidden from solicitations and publicity, so go in expecting… a surprise. But something I would like to talk about is just how big The[...]

All raw copies, no slabbing here, no variant covers, no artificial collectibility, just the standard books that, if you have them in your collection, could pay your rent for a few months. Dropping out of the chart over the last few years are Bone, Vengeance Of Bane, Goon,  Love And Rockets and TMNT, and there have been no[...]

Arguably a more westernised comic than the likes of Naruto and One Piece, Attack On Titan has the potential to be another Walking Dead, in comics terms at least. But most comic stores and book stores don't even have one copy of one volume, published in the US by Random House. Right now, Attack On Titan Vol[...]

Best known for the best selling The Walking Dead comic (and this week, the barnstorming Invincible) it has a president, JJ Didde, credited on all their books. Didde is described by the studio as "a business partner" His Facebook entry lists a series of moustachioed gentlemen in the photo profile, eventually resorting to that of a disembodied moustache (right). There[...]

We salute you, and the keenness you bring to your passion. Almost every store reports Batman Eternal as their top seller of the week, with Walking Dead a close second And do note that East Of West is creeping up that chart ans outselling comics that otherwise it might otherwise not have expected to It's the[...]

Today's Walking Dead continues the storyline from last issue, with Negan's plan to infect the weapons his crew use against Rick's crew with zombie stuff And it seems to work. Although I still reckon there's a bait-and-switch with Dwight and his assault on Rick Pick a bolt, any bolt… but that doesn't get followed up on[...]

Also worth noting, Walking Dead continues to super-perform for Image Comics, this month for the first time putting two issues in the Top Ten as All Out War kicks off. Marvel Comics dollar share stabalised from to 34.09% to 34.1% but as did their unit share from to 37.39% to 37.36% DC Comics saw their dollar[...]

It is most definitely all-out war in today's The Walking Dead Wherever you look there is war War, war, war They should call it The Warring Dead. Negan's forces, assaulting Rick's forces People die You'll be expecting that. People make decisions, over which side they are on You'll be expecting that too. What you might not be expecting[...]
