Lonzilla Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Every issue from the last year is still on the LCS rack for cover price. That wasn't happening 2,3, or 4 years ago, you could hardly get extras of a month old issue at cover once the new one was out. Shops are ordering more copies and getting stuck with them because nobody is grabbing 5-10 copies of each issue anymore to sit on as an investment. Factor in the current $3.99 cover price and the quality of the stories of late and you have a sinking turd maraxusofkeld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke as a Joke Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I can't see how that show will continue without Rick Grimes. I think the end is here. Kevin... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntoAnother Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I have to imagine this certainly won’t be good for ratings, after the fact anyways. To me outside of Kirkman he’s the face of TWD. Likely even much more so to those who are just fans of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Troy Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Sounds like the American way, "build up your heroes, tear them down, build them back up again". I've been with WD since the start, still love the book, and will stick with it till whatever end it deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F For Fake Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I can't stand Rick, and have hoped against hope that they'd kill him and Coral off, as that may be enough to renew my interest in the show. Rick is the worst. Ugh. BUT, Andrew Lincoln is the face of that show. Can't see this as being anything other than REAAAAAALLY bad for the show's popularity going forward. So, this may be the death knell for the show...but the book will be fine. Maybe not $2500+ in 9.8 fine, but fine all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Print runs are extremely high and everyone knows that so there isn't potential in the current issues anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 What are they on? The 8th season? Lots of shows do not make it this far and it's had a good run. I stopped watching (and buying comics from the bargin bins) last season and it does not sound like I'm missing much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is the comic has played out further in writing, which can't be said for hardly any shows. Game of Thrones has suffered from the opposite.

retrothecollector Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 So with the end of the WD, who's ready to sell me #1 9.8 for $1k? rogue14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better yet, anyone wanting to unload any 9.9 or higher MINT copies of The Walking Dead please feel free to let me know (any issue I need I'm looking for) #shamelessplug All jokes aside, I'm worried about this, too...but maybe JDM will take over or Daryl or Michonne (assuming she doesn't leave, too) - any one of those 3 I'd back and watch just as faithfully (heck, I'll watch it to the end, regardless). retrothecollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason4 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 So I tried to sell some great nm issues as a lot. 33, 44, 45, 46, And 47. 33 I thought was worth almost the asking price alone of 50 bux. 44-47 probably worth 20 each. So I figured 20x4 is 80 and maybe 30 for 33 so close 75-100 probably. Got 0 bids and 1 watcher. These books continue to fall. So basically you can’t even get 10 dollars now for each issue I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Common issues have been cool for 2 - 3 years now, just like we have seen over the past decade (or longer) with any other long running title. Thanks to TPBs and compendiums, there is no need to build runs now unless the cost is cheaper than the collected edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drotto Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Rick and Maggie are leaving the show, and a character not even in the comics is basically taking over. The show is for all intensive purposes done. The comics are reflecting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
