I ordered the first issue b/c I thought it sounded interesting... even if I can't stop thinking about RASL. I've yet to find anything that Kirkman writes that I like, but I keep trying b/c I'm in such the minority...
Really?? Not even invincible ?..
Invincible was probably my favorite thing of his that I read... I read the first trade on 400yrs's suggestion and the FCBD issue from... whenever that was. It was pretty good, but not good enough to make me want to keep reading it.
I'm not really looking for open-ended series to add to my reading regimen... I've got to really like something to be on board for an ongoing.

Kirkman's letter to readers was worth the purchase price. I agree with most reviews. The first issue was slow but I have great expectations for the series. Kirkman's looking for his next TV show. Don't be suprised when this series takes off!

Read it today - not really for me. The writing/dialogue was dreadful. I like the theme and I like the artwork, its just a shame Kirkman isnt actually writing it.

Agree completely. If this book doesn't pick up quickly it may not even make it a full year.

Read it ... sort of interesting sort of not at the same time ... not going to continue as the ending did nothing for me ... If it continues to last for a while & gains some popularity I may go back & check out a trade or what not
well, i think he's writing this book to go straight to tv...no matter what you think of the comic, expect to see it somewhere on cable tv in the future.
