    Easily my favorite comic book series. Never once saw a decrease in quality. As the years progress of course things are going to get more slow and less action packed, which they do. It’s all about prospective I guess. The show shit the bed pretty quick but had some cool moments.

    I bought the HC:s up to volume 10, and when I realised I hadn't read the yearly volume for a couple of years, mainly because it felt like a never-ending story, I stopped. Then when it actually ended and the final volume came out, I bought the last volumes at 50% off. So I have a complete set on my shelf, and someday I will read them from start to finish.

Lol, even if you do it in October, it would be greatly appreciated 🤘🏽As always, this was an awesome overview video! Peace and Love

    Yo Omar. Love the channel. I was wondering what titles are evergreen for each of the publishers. I kinda want to upgrade some of my y the last man trades to hardcover, but if its an evergreen series then I could just collect some other series that I'm interested in and save the upgrades until later. Also is there any reason to keep trade paperback once you've upgraded? Do people care about first printings with collected editions?

    I came across a used one for really cheap and snatched it up but now I’m not sure if I wanna keep dropping the bones on them when these editions are pretty nice and look to be pretty inexpensive on the secondhand market..

    Even though it was only the first couple issues I really enjoyed Tony Moore's art style, but liked how Charlie Adlard's gave it a more realistic look. Which style did you all prefer?

    • @lecoinsportetpopculture
      @lecoinsportetpopculture Před 9 měsíci

      I prefer Tony Moore style for some reason but i do think Charlie Adlard's touch was a good thing for the series too.
      But the Tony Moore style is more elegant for me.

    • @thegreat7734
      @thegreat7734 Před 8 měsíci

      Charlie Adlards art style was a lot better in my opinion as it made the world look and feel realistic and the characters had a much more realistic look to it but I don’t mind Tony Moores art work

    I picked up the first omnibus recently for a bargain £35. The initial artwork is awesome but I gotta disagree and say I was disappointed when I saw the change of artist over to Charlie Adlard as the drop in quality was obvious to see. I've enjoyed reading the first omni and the quality of the book and slipcase is excellent. I'll probably just buy one omni a month from this collection until I've finished it out seeing as the price of them is quite reasonable.

    The Walking Dead was my favorite comic for many years, and it all started right at the beginning with #1. I already was a huge zombie/horror fan, plus Dawn of the Dead was, and still is my favorite movie. I Almost missed the first two issues, but luckily another subscriber at my LCS never picked up his order so I pounced. And for me the Walking Dead still remains one of the greatest works of horror fiction in any genre. As a matter of fact, the run from #49 till #98 (so basically Compendium 2) ranks as one of my favorite runs in comics.
    But then came a turning point...
    It's funny you mentioned not liking most of the characters Omar, because for me that started to happen around the #100 mark. There were still some of the core cast left, but every new addition from then on left me pretty much cold. I also felt there were never really any really memorable moments and that Kirkman started offing characters for no reason other than to shock (four words: heads on a spike). I also loathed Negan's character but not in a "good" way. I never got the love he got from so many readers. As far as I'm concerned he was Kirkman's clumsy attempt at creating an anti-hero, and looking back the decision that was made at the end of All Out War pretty much killed the comic for me.
    I still collected and read every issue after that, including every 15th anniversary variant I could get my hands on, but I feel Kirkman made a right choice ending the series when he did. There were still some great moments (#167 is still heartbreaking and one of the best single issues ever) but the moment he decided to do what he did with you-know-who (avoiding spoilers is hard!) he knew it was all over.
    But the Walking Dead was a nearly unprecedented run from a powerhouse creative team (we must not forget Stefano Gaudiano, Cliff Rathburn and Russ Wooton) that will remain a high point in 21st century comics. And as far as the TV show is concerned, I never made it past season one...

    I have the Hardcovers, the same as you, however, the first eight were purchased off amazon, and corners and spines are mangled. The last 8 came from IST and are perfect. Wish I found out about them sooner. The ending felt rushed, so overall a bit disappointing. I don't hate it though.
