ReadComics Book Club: The Walking Dead Vol. 1
October 5th, 2008 by florenceOn Tuesday, October 21st, at 7PM CST at Florence & Marty’s apartment, we are holding our next ReadComics book club. This month we will be discussing the first trade paperback of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead, “Days Gone Bye”, which collects issues #1-6.
Warning: This is a scary and explicit zombie story, and this volume is just the beginning of a very long story, so you shouldn’t expect a tidy ending. It has gotten great reviews for writing, and has already sucked me in thoroughly. I’m looking forward to a lively discussion with our crew of Kirkman fans and anti-zombie spokespeople.
In a slight change of plans, we’re putting off our Buffy Season 8 #12-19 ReadComics book club selection until November, in hopes that we can include Susie’s expertise and that Joss actually puts out issue #19 someday.
UPDATE: Florence is sickly, so we’re going to try and postpone this just one week to the 28th. Hope everyone can still make it!

ok, i’ll have pull out my trade and read along! this is one of my favorite comics…but then again, i have a weird fascination with zombies. they scared the begeebies out of me as a kid.
yes, this can get graphic…but keep in mind the sort of world these people live in. all morals and rules are turned onto their ass!
