Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities The Walking Dead

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time.

Consistently in my top three. When anyone asks for recommendations this books always gets a shout out.

How do you guys like the art? Charlie Adlard is going to be working on the new WARLOCK title with Greg Pak. I've seen SOME spoilers, but tried to be good...

Honestly? I think the new Warlock art sucks. Its probably the colors though. I had no complaints at all about his work on Dead but that was all black and white.

The pages I saw for Warlock just left me cold. Maybe its just because its not Starlin. But they sure didn't want to make me buy the book even though Adlard was doing it.

The art is fine with me. I love that it's in B&W. No opinion on Warlock...since I won't be getting it anyway.

I love the B&W aspect of Dead too. I think color would distract from the story. And again, its not a problem with Adlard since his work on Dead was good, if not great. I think its just the new Warlock itself.

Honestly, I'm not too excited over the upcoming WARLOCK book. But I'm deathly afraid Marvel will mothball the character completely and bring back Douglock, like they tried to do with the M3 line. Damned if I support it, damned if I don't.

Sorta like DC Direct's Legion line...

I'm just glad THANOS got cancelled before Giff got his hands on Adam and the gang...

But the real Warlock is supposed to be appearing in a later issue of the series, and She-Hulk #8.

Har har!

Adlard's art is fine, but I think I preferred the previous (original) artist. A lot of Adlard's faces look kind of the same.

Still, this is one of my favorite books. I was very happy to find a copy of the first TPB when I was visiting Boston. Thanks, Quis, for taking us to that store!

Just finished the three trades. The zombie thing put me off getting this book for a long time - I'd flipped through it at the store and all those images of decayed people saying "Gak!" .... :rolleyes: However, stories of survival after a civilization-destroying disaster are usually favourites (always looking for suggestions on how to deal with the future), so that finally won over the "Gak" factor.

I really enjoyed it. The greatest disappointment was getting to the last page and knowing there wasn't a volume 4 yet. The characters are well developed, their behaviour is credible and it's interesting to see how they work together (or not) as a group for their survival. I think colour would be superfluous - I didn't really notice it was black and white, in some sense - just reading Dev & Scott's comments about the b&w above reminded me that there wasn't colour.

I still could have done with fewer zombie panels....

So, FC, did you ever pick up any more of the trades?

Trust LL!

Everyone I've given the first trade to has become a fan. It's gotten so I just borrow their trades to read now...

My offer of a free copy of the first trade still stands. I've given one away (still waiting to hear if I've made another zombie) so there are four more to go.

I'm serious. I've already gotten them. If you want to give it a try, PM me your address and a copy will be on the way. All I ask is that you start buying the book (in singles or trades) if you like it or pass along the trade to someone else if you don't.

I've never stumped for a book like this before, not even the Legion. In a little over three years this book has become my all-time favorite.

Need more brainssss.....

Three copies left? Whose the next zombie convert?

I'll bite (pun intended).

I always tend to like the zombie movies, why not a zombie comic?

If you are serious Lash, I will mail you a copy of the first trade ASAP.

I am serious, I'm curious about how well the whole zombie-genre translates to comics.

So If you still have an extra tpb... it sounds like solid bedtime reading!

A copy will be winging its way to you shortly.

Assuming that I'm going to love it, and to show you that I'm serious about it, I bought WALKING DEAD 35 and 36 today (these were the only issues on the new-issue shelf).

The cute CBS guy got all excited, and said I'd love it, and he said all of the trades are in-store.

Will it ruin anything if I read 35 & 36 before the first trade?

Sorry I didn't see your question before Lash. You should be okay reading those issues first but, hopefully, by now that doesn't matter.

Okay, I'm recruiting again. I'm getting ready to purchase another stack of the first trade. So if you are still on the fence I'll send you a copy. If you like it, buy the monthly and/or trades. If you don't, pass the book on to someone you think might like it or donate it to a library. And don't be afraid to recruit others. Look at CJ. He recruited at least three other people and is currently running the Colorado branch of TWDA (The Walking Dead Army).

I'm going to buy the books in the next few weeks so give me a shout out here or in PM if you are interested. You will not be disappointed.

All right, all right. I'll give it a shot. Would you happen to have a copy of My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade to sweeten the deal?

Mood music, you know.

You know I do! And when you hear Liza on the album I bet it'll scare the pants off of you. Oh, wait. You probably won't be wearing any anyway.

I may actually have a special copy for you Pov. I'll see what I can do about it and some mood music too. Anything else?

Isn't it cute when they do that? Like little kids getting a cotton candy. I remember my comics guy doing that when I picked up Abadazad.

Your generosity knows no bounds. That's more than enough.

I wish I'd had the wherewithall to promote that book the way Scooter's pushing TWD...

TWD has been officially added to my pull, and I'll buy the remaining trades on an as-I'm-able-to basis. Good stuff!!!
