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. And they are… Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 $2513 – the film seems to have given this comic new wings, soaring over the traditional topper… The[...]

We saw the top ten December 2014 direct market comic book statistics last week, now everything fleshes out a little. Four issues of Axis pushed The Walking Dead #135 out of the top ten to #12 Hellboy And The BPRD #1 was Dark Horse Comics' top book for December at #114 While IDW Publishing's was My[...]

But Amazon are promising to get more copies in and the price is staying the same. The Walking Dead Compendium Vol 1, collecting The Walking Dead #1-48 in paperback oversized format has crashed down from £45 to £11, including post and packaging It was a good deal before, now it would be madness not to Should[...]

In terms of comic books sold, it was clearly Marvel's year in the direct market, as Diamond Comic Distributors reports Marvel having all but one of the top thirteen comic books of the year to themselves, with the interloper The Walking Dead having that particular issue boosted by 250,000 by Loot Crate That run was[...]

Amazing Spider-Man #1 was only given away in Nerd Block (40-50,000 subscribers) while Rocket Raccoon and Walking Dead were in Loot Crate (250-300,000 subscribers) but it managed to get more elsewhere to pip them both to the top of Best Selling Comic Book of 2014 – in the comic book direct market via Diamond Comic[...]

Also a bit of a gap between All-New Captain America and Captain America And The Mighty Avengers, despite them starring the same guy… Also, Walking Dead beats out Scott Snyder and Jim Lee's Superman Unchained It is a kind of proof that things have changed… TOP 50 COMIC BOOKS Based on Total Unit Sales of Products Invoiced in November[...]

The Walking Dead #1. Currently listed on eBay for $15,000 Australian dollars, a little over $12,000 US dollars And with ane xecutive producer credit to the film thrown in… Sadly he has not drawn anything, ducks or otherwise, on his comic book cover, rendering it worthless Or worth even more I can't quite decide. I don't particularly want[...]

There was a time when Negan had a fine line in swearing on The Walking Dead But since he got locked in a basement and the comic series skipped forward a few years, the language in The Walking Dead has toned down a little. Thankfully today's issue gives us a little of that spirit back again[...]

Chicago craft brewery, Arcade Brewery, announced today that it will release its first volume of 6-Pack Stories tomorrow. Festus Rotgut: Zombie Cowboy is a

In San Diego Comic Con in 2011, the Walking Dead creative team Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard announced Passenger, a forty-eight page science-fiction graphic novella to be published in France and the USA from Image and Delcourt. It's been a while since today at the Image artists panel at Thought Bubble in Leeds, Charlie Adlard told[...]

They did wonders with Harry Potter, by way of French & Saunders. They blew away the world with their Rocky Horror Doctor Who Show. And now? A big budget musical parody of The Walking Dead from The Hillywood Show… to the tune of Queen's Another One Bites The Dust with just a touch of Thriller… [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFbpMoOFjqM[/youtube] [...]

And that's even with the bestseller, The Walking Dead selling $2.99. That's four at $4.99, one at $2.99, one at $5.99 and four at $3.99. In comparison, the average price of a top ten comic in October 2004 was $2.69, A 66% increase in price in ten years. In that time, the USA has experienced only 26% inflation[...]

Walking Dead #132 has not only topped the chart, but it sold over two and a half times the Batman #35 Endgame numbers But how? Now we're going to have to do some estimations as no one is giving away actual sales figures But let's say if, just if, Saga #24 sold around the same as Saga[...]

So where did the rest of the marketshare go? Well, as we previously pointed out, Image Comics took 12.28% of comics sold and 9.77% of dollars spent, a significant 2-4 point jump, and both Dark Horse and IDW both put on a point or to each as week. The top selling book however, as we predicted, was[...]

Once of the criticisms that The Walking Dead is that it tends to forget the zombies. Today's issue, #133,  proves that a) that most definitely isn't true but b) it's indicative of the fact that the comic isn't actually about the zombies, but that the survivors are the Walking Dead And that people have a constant[...]

The new Loot Crate subscription box for October includes a variant edition of this month's issue of The Walking Dead #132 Given that around 150,000 of these boxes go out and that these orders for Diamond exclusive publishers such as Image go through Diamond, they should be adding these numbers on top of the comic's[...]

By Jared Cornelius Welcome back for another rundown of the week's hot new video game tape releases.  This week we've got two main themes, re-releases and horror, with a bit of both blended in for good measure.  That's right, dear reader, we're getting a couple of repackaging's including hardware this week.  We're seeing quite a few titles showing up for the[...]

The T-shirts usually give it away, at NYCC, they will have "Staff" for paid staff and "Crew" for volunteers, those who volunteer some of their time, in exchange for access to the show. But for some that's not enough. The Walking Dead and Netflix Daredevil panels have been two of the hardest to get into at New[...]

We salute you, and the keenness you bring to your passion. Batman Eternal, usually a favourite for the top of this list is beaten by the Death Of Wolverine, the relaunch of the new Thor and the general, everyday issue of The Walking Dead. Death of Wolverine #3 Thor #1 Walking Dead #132 Batman Eternal #26 Justice League #34 Captain America #25 Uncanny[...]

And Comic-Con hadn't even officially begun! Hollywood Boulevard Over the next four days, I had amassed talk time (and dozens of selfies) with Hollywood people including Kiefer Sutherland (24), Manu Bennett (Spartacus and Arrow), Kelly Hu (X-Men 2), Clark Gregg (along with the entire main cast of TV's popular Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) as well as Melissa Suzanne[...]

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[...]
