You may have sold me on tracking down GH:Y1. Is it a period piece?

Getting it then. Wagner writing a period piece is awesome!

You're going to flip out over Zorro. Honestly, it basically restored my faith in comic books about iconic characters after I just about had given up on them.

And for Zorro, the artwork adds incredible layers to the story-telling as well.

Yeah, I read the first volume of Zorro, but I it was late at night and I was still kind of under the Green Hornet buzz, so I want to read it again along with volume 2!

I liked Zorro, but then again I like anything by Matt Wagner.

But seriously, what is the big deal with the Walking Dead? I've never really liked zombies all that much to begin with, but between this title, it's TV show, and Marvel's near-obsession with them, I'm REALLY starting to hate zombies.

Yeah, I was actually a little worried after the first issue, because I kind of liked it, but something just wasn't gelling for me. But Amelia really rocked.

Each subsequent arc (trade) has gotten better and better! The most recent issues introduced what may end up being my favorite character in the series, Tony's twin sister!

One thing I'm really liking about it is that it reads really well in single issue fashion (I've been reading an issue a day).

Hoping the rumored television series comes about.

YAY! It's good to know that you're NOT dead inside, Edie!

Could write a few pages in response, but let's see...

First and foremost, The Walking Dead and Marvel Zombies are in no way similar books at all. Aside from having the concept of zombies in both...there's not much else.

As far as The Walking Dead goes...if you don't like Zombies...probably not going to like a Zombie book. This book though is about way more than zombies though. There can be several issues in a row that feature no zombies, or feature them as only the barest of background filler. It is more about the people and what living in a world that has gone through, and continues to go through this "apocalypse".
