Any body else find volume 12 to be a bit of a letdown? Seemed like it was just there to setup volume 13 without too much else of its own going on. On the other hand it looks like volume 13 could be quite interesting.
So much happened in the couple of volumes previous to that. I wasn't massively surprised it simmered down slightly. Had to switch to getting the actual comic books now as I can't wait for the volumes to be released data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
How often are the comics released?
Monthly, and 73 looks to be the latest issue.

I have been taking my sweet time over this, and have 6 and 7 in my reading list, sticking to my two GN a month, but only just. It helps that I read a previous one before I start on the other two as well.
I think I'm going to end up getting these at the end of the month. I was going to get the hardback 'book' but based on the comments above will just be getting the trade collections.
Depends what you want to do, if you like to read the latest one as soon as you can then avoid any kind of collective works in books.
I have the hardback books and they're still in their plastic wrap data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
If you want something that looks good on a book shelf and is more of a collection item then the books, but if you want to read and keep up with it then go individual. Or if you want the best of both worlds, then go for both! data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

This thread is for Walking Dead, but I am not going to frighten a new member off but deleting posts - take a look in this thread:

..and look for Marvel Zombies and DMZ (similar vien, but no zombies) as well. I have not read either of them yet, but they are supposed to be good. Also, for another post apoloclyptic view, try Y The Last Man. That is good.
