I finally leaned over the edge a bit too much and jumped in.

It has been a long time now and I have to admit. When The Walking Dead first came out, I had missed it. It was at a time I was not into comics, and by the time I got into comics this was a comic that had a resell value in the triple digits, And since I had just gotten back into comics, I was not going to spend that much on a modern comic. Boy, I should have learned more quicker. I also have to admit my collecting mentality was not as broad as it is now, compared to when I got back into collecting.

Well lets have a bit of a flashback moment. About three weeks ago I was home and bored. I was surfing the internet and saw that Netflix had a free months trial, So I decided to join to see what I could get to watch for free. Turns out it wasn't a whole lot, but it also turned out, they had The Walking Dead season one and two. Been a fan of horror, zombies, vampires and the such I decided to check it out. Man was I hooked, first it was ok one more episode and I'm going to sleep. Then it was well its only one in the morning and I don't have to wake up until late for work.

The next thing I knew I was finished with season one. Albeit it was a short season I jumped right into season two. When I was done with what Netflix offered I quickly searched for season three online. It turned out there are many online sites just offering TWD for free. I knew quickly I was in trouble, I blasted through the entire season three in one week.

So you may be asking, what does this have to do with the comic version of TWD? Well, now that I'm completely addicted to TWD and season four does not begin until later this fall. I decided to start reading the comics.

I also found out I am really late to this series. As of right now TWD comics is up to issue 109 with some earlier numbers been fairly valuable. So in order for me to catch up all the way from number one, I will either have to shell out lots of money or buy the collected versions. Knowing me, one day I'm going to sell a kidney to get the first thirty issues... well not really. But as for now I have turned into a complete TWD addict, and will be foraging into the herd to find out the story of the comic book version.
