They basically just vary in page length. From small to big:

There are the regular issues. Trade Paperbacks. Hardbacks. Omnibus (bigger hardbacks). Compendium (like a phone book).

I like the hard backs because of the nice paper-stock and good amount of issues. If you don't wanna drop $17 then go with the paperbacks for about $2 less. I know a site that sells them every few weeks/months for a good price that I can post when I get home. There is a thread on our comic-book board on this topic that you can search for as well.

edit: Found it. I check here every 3 or 4 days and pick them up for well under amazon.

Thos.

As long as it has a 1 in the title, you can start there.

I enjoyed this episode.

:lol: Andrea finally got laid and hopefully now she'll be less uptight.

Lori's secrets are now finally out and Glenn is finally growing some balls. I liked Maggie's little speech to him. His Zombie kill was bad ass.

Okay, I thought Sarah Wayne Callies was hot on Prison Break and she looked healthy, but Jesus she looks anorexic on this show.

I truly doubt he's miserable. It's Sunday night, the end of the weekend. Maybe there's nothing better on or he likes zombie stories. That's why I keep watching. (And I'll be amazed if this makes it for 5 or 6 seasons but I hope it does.)

I thought it was a good ep. Some decent dialogue and solid action. I still find it funny that there are so few zombies in the downtown area (at least there was one this time) but tons elsewhere, such as by that house. I also agree with the observations on the Talking Dead about how Rick took the news though I'm glad they didn't play him out to be a dummy and was ahead of the curve. Next week looks promising.

Took a look at that picture. Interesting. . .

Although, as a friend told me it was pointed out on The Talking Dead, you can tell a woman wrote this episode based on Rick's reaction to learning Shane fucked his wife. "Oh, well, it's ok... you did think I was dead and all." Bullshit!

I thought that Rick's reaction was consistent with his character up to this point.

I really liked this episode... rather than perpetuate the current soap opera threads, it began to resolve them or at least move them to the next stage.

Answer to your "spoiler": It's not. I called it first. -ptth-

I should probably stop watching but I have this weird OCD completist thing going on. I feel like I'm watching a badly acted, melodramatic soap opera most of the time, and keep in mind, I have all the original seasons of 90210 on DVD.

At least 90210 knew it was being absurd.

Not going to happen. She's going to hook up with Daryl. You heard it here first. ;)

The backstage drama all started when series creator Frank Darabont was ousted. A whole lotta people were upset, you’ll recall, and this one person, so much so that he/she asked to be released from his/her contract. But, according to my moles, a funny thing happened between the time the request was made and when it was potentially granted.

A change of heart.

Now this member of the ensemble wants to stay. But it may be too late. (Even my sources don’t know for sure at this point whether the character is going to be written off, although one insider insists he/she ultimately got their wish.)


So, your guesses? Who’s the Darabont loyalist who wanted his/her Walking papers, then decided they wanted them torn up?

Rumors are all pointing at Jon Bernthal as he was the most vocal about Darabont being fired.

Spoiler:
Which would make sense now that Carl is wearing the Sheriff's hat and now has access to guns.

That's what I thought, too. The "rainbow" looks different, and there's some kind of pattern there that isn't in the original.

Even if it is Sophie, it could be part of a dream sequence.

Spoiler:
I don't see how anyone can look at those two photos and think it's not the same shirt. In the first photo the shirt is clean. In the second photo the shirt has clearly taken some abuse. It looks like it's been wet and muddy, probably from Sophie being in the creek, which would account for the faded color and wrinkles in the rainbow. But it's clearly the same shirt.

That spoiler better be explained fully because as is, it's totally bullshit from a story standpoint. How the fuck did she get to Herschel's barn without one of his clan knowing about it?

As somebody stated earlier. I'm enjoying this show, but not really in the way the writers intended probably. There was too much whiny drama in this episode. :lol: @ Andrea all of a sudden head shotting every walker in sight, and then just grabbing Shane's junk. Nice of T-Dogg to get in his one line of the episode too... :)

To be fair, Andrea was tearing it up on the practice course too....

I read some speculation that Jeffrey DeMunn or Laurie Holden might also be the ones. DeMunn has worked with Darabont on several of his movies. Holden worked with him on The Mist.

Spoiler:
The logical explanation would be that Herschel does know but didn't tell Rick and his group because he knew they'd want to kill her. If he could keep Sophia a secret they'd eventually give up looking for her and move on, assuming she's dead.

How did the pharmacy zombie stand up after Glenn attacked it? Shouldn't the zombie have been paralyzed from the neck down?

Spoiler:
Even with the distress the rainbow looks bigger and extends longer on both sides. Looks like a different shirt to me too. Of course it could be the production people got a slightly difference shirt to distress and left the other one untouched - their budget was cut LOL.

:lol: I wonder why they cast an actress well into her 30s when in the books she's probably 27 or so. I guess they didn't figure they needed a lot of hot young ass to get people to watch.

I would have guessed Holden. She worked with Darabont on the Mist, the Majestic, and didn't he have a hand in getting her the role on the Shield?
