Still no number 1 TPB at the comic book store I frequent...disregard the fact that there are other stores 5 minutes from that one.

WOW....after WEEKs of waiting, and visiting multiple comic book shops....it lived up to the hype. Such a great human story, with amazing artwork. I love how at the start of the first book the writer mentions how it wasn't his intent to scare people....the book is more creepy that shocking.

Thanks for the recommend Oppie...I'll likely be picking up the rest of the trades over the next couple of months.

Walking Dead # 9 has been sold out everywhere I go. Please people, stop recommending this book so I can get a copy for myself!

[OpTard]

we got one in my store.

and it's sooooooo good.

I have 1 - 6 and I keep getting sidetracked before I get to read them. I really need to put down The Watchmen but I can't...

[murgen]

I'm up to volume 8. Just checked Amazon, and it looks like 9 came out earlier this month! I'll have to pick that up soon. Now if Kirkman would release the 4th Invincible hardcover, I'll be all set.

Picked it up today along with the newest Fables.. Can't wait to read it!

Also, a late reminder, but a reminder anyway...

If you haven't read the 10th Fables TPB, The Good Prince, do it NOW.

you think that's good, wait till you read vol. 11.

they coulda ended it on that book if they wanted to. and i don't mean that it's a mistake to keep going. i can't wait for vol. 12.

fables and walking. best books out there.

I'm up to book 6 on Fables. I like it, but I'm not rushing out to buy the trades like I did with Preacher or Walking Dead. Although how much trades going back up to Canadian price has to do with it I'm not sure. Fucking loonie.

I finished Walking Dead #9 last night. Those trades read too fast. I like how no characters are safe, and there are other survivors still out there. That's the only thing that bugs me about some zombie movies, the idea that the main characters are the only ones left. If they survived there's a good chance that others made it, too. I can't wait for #10.
I bought several trades yesterday, along with Final Crisis 6. I finished Booster Gold 2, Walking Dead 9. I'mworking on Umbrella Academy 1, and Fables 1. Thanks for all of your recommendations!

I think I stopped at 7. I love the story but it's so fucking dark. It's tough to keep reading.

Fables on the other hand has been a much easier read for me. I started a bit after Walking Dead, and am already up to Vol. 7 as well.

On the other trade mentioned here, Umbrella Academy was only okay.
Another good trade I read recently and all 4 trades should be relatively easy to find are the Alias books with Jessica Jones. Just a great story. Coming out this week is Ultimate Collection Vol. 2 which is volumes 3 and 4 in trades. Quick, great read.

I've gotten the 3 Powers Hardcover Collections out so far collecting Volume 1, and the TPB of the first storyline of the Volume 2. Nice high concept, but with a slowly unfolding story about the history and backstory to the world and characters.
