I read the first few and they were awesome

I've read the first book and it won't spoil much as the show deviates ALOT from the comic, and seems to go in a whole other direction. It's certainly nothing amazing, the writing can be rough and corny at times, but it's decent enough.

Ok so I hit the bullet and ordered The Walking Dead: Compendium One [Paperback] from Amazon, this will be the second graphic novel I read in my life, hopefully I will enjoy it, I'll not read the entire thing so I don't spoil it for myself :D , does anyone know if this version contains the FULL story or is there even more? this is supposed to contain issues 1 through 48 of the graphic novel.

Ok so I hit the bullet and ordered The Walking Dead: Compendium One [Paperback] from Amazon, this will be the second graphic novel I read in my life, hopefully I will enjoy it, I'll try not to read too much into the story so I don't spoil it for myself :D , does anyone know if this version contains the FULL story or is there even more? this is supposed to contain issues 1 through 48 of the graphic novel.

This Walking Dead "Compendium" is a compilation of Volumes 1 through 8 (or call it Books 1 through 4, or call it issues 1 through 48)

:D

Shame Frank Darabont cant write and direct all episodes, the best episode by far is the first directed and written by Darabont and the 2nd was written by Frank Darabont, oddly enough the 3rd episode had 5 writers and was boring. :shiftyninja:

There are currently 78 issues, possibly 79 now with the new month. One little iota of note, these aren't graphic novels. Ok sorry done now.

I think the pacing is way off from the comic and it's pretty hard to say for sure how/when the cut off will be for seasons.

Not really, the writing is nothing spectacular and they've done a poor job of developing characters.

wow so there's a lot more than just Compendium One, I have been browsing around at the Barnes & Noble website and it looks that if I want to get the follow up to Compendium One then I would have to get either Book Five or Volume 9 - Here We Remain right? Book Five being the best choice IMHO...

That is 49-78 for $63

I'm sure if you add up total cost of the volumes or books it will be close to the same cost.

Does anyone think Merle dropped off the zombies at the camp site (intentionally)?

(Was it possible to with the van? did it have an opening into the cab from the storage part?)

No; they said in the show the zombies were starting to wonder away from the city now that all their foods gone.

I think Merle will end up becoming a particular character later on in the book and I'm really hoping that isn't the case.

Check out This in YouTube, I was trying to embed the video here, but I have no idea why it won't allow me to embed it, Also I found what appears to be the official site of the Graphic Novel: The Walking Dead Be aware the site spoils the TV show a little specially the Cast area :D

Thanks! I'll keep that one in mind, it does look like a good deal, I rather have all in one book than buying all these different smaller books separately, One question: It looks like all the books are black and white, does anyonbody know if they were ever made in color?

No.

If you read the letters at the end of each release he gives some insight into the series, they're a lot of fun. One of them was someone asking if he would ever do color or at least on milestone issues like #100 and he said no.

Fear not, 'Walking Dead' fans. Reports of the writing staff's demise earlier this week may have been exaggerated.

Executive producer Robert Kirkman, upon whose comic books the zombie drama is based, has spoken out about this week's news that showrunner Frank Darabont had apparently fired the entire writing staff..

Kirkman told tvguide.com that this week's report in deadline.com was "premature," and said "It's kind of unfortunate that it's being reported that our writing staff has been fired because that's not the case. ... It makes Frank look bad. I don't think Frank wants it out there that he's just firing people off of a successful show."

According to Kirkman, what really happened was that Darabont's "go-to guy," executive producer and writer Charles "Chic" Eglee ('Dexter,' 'Dark Angel') chose to leave the series after Darabont decided to stay on for Season 2. The original deal had been that Darabont would be showrunner for Season 1 and then move on, leaving room for Eglee to take over.

When Darabont changed his mind, however, and decided to stay put, Eglee quit. "Chic Eglee is a high-level television writer. He was brought onto 'The Walking Dead' with the idea that Frank was going to work on the first season and then go off and do movies," Kirkman says. "Chic didn't want to be second-in-command on a show when he's used to being a top dog, and so he decided to go off and do something else, which is something that happens and is not a big deal."

Kirkman says he's excited to continue working with Darabont, and credits him with creating a unique vision for the show. But what about reports that 'The Walking Dead' would be hiring-in freelance writers for Season 2? All Kirkman will say for now is that it's too soon to tell.

"It's a little premature to be nailing down. I don't know if it's going to be a freelance situation or if we're going to have writers in a writers' room," he said. "That's something that's being worked on now."

    • Glow 26.10

      By Copernic · Posted

      Glow 26.10 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.10 changelog: New Features The bootstrapping algorithm has been completely redesigned. The software can now launch directly without requiring TS Preloader. As part of this change, the startup splash screen displayed during initialization has been removed. In addition, spikes in CPU usage have been eliminated, resulting in a more stable architecture with significantly lower memory consumption. The Microsoft Office detection infrastructure within the Operating System section has been enhanced. Additional detection support has been added for Office C2R (Click-to-Run) installations. Furthermore, the license status evaluation system has been improved, and the priority order has been revised as follows: Licensed > Grace Period > Other (NOTIFICATIONS, EVALUATION, etc.). Glow now includes preliminary support for Wi-Fi 8 technology, allowing more detailed information to be displayed for Wi-Fi 8-compatible network adapters. Glow now provides full support for Bluetooth 6.2. Adapters supporting Bluetooth 6.2 can be analyzed in greater detail and with improved accuracy. The disk distribution view in the Disk section has been modernized, replacing the traditional table layout with a new 2×2 card-based design. The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to v26.7. Thanks to the new custom controls, all Türkaysoft applications now offer a more modern and consistent user interface aligned with Windows 11 design standards. Bug Fixes Potential line-ending handling issues in the Office detection code within the Operating System section have been resolved. Additionally, the output format has been standardized to UTF-8 to prevent character encoding issues and ensure consistent data processing. Several stability and file management issues within the Debugging infrastructure have been addressed. Problems that prevented new log files from being created after Debugging was disabled, as well as issues causing debug records to be lost, have been fixed. File deletion and reaccess issues that occurred after file locks were released have also been resolved. In addition, a bug that caused newly recreated log files to remain locked after deletion has been eliminated. Unnecessary blank lines within debug logs and the extra empty line that could appear at the end of log files have also been corrected. A shortcut key conflict caused by assigning identical hotkeys to both the DNS Test Tool and the Donation page has been fixed. The DNS Test Tool can now be accessed using CTRL + Shift + D, while the Donation page is available via CTRL + Alt + D. Changes The service responsible for providing the Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider information in the Network section has been updated to use the ipinfo.io infrastructure. This change improves the accuracy and consistency of the displayed data. (No external requests are made while Hiding Mode is enabled.) Some terms in the Dutch and Korean language files have been updated to make them clearer and more user-friendly. [TS Updater] Before the update process begins, users are now prompted to choose whether they would like to view the release notes. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error. Download: Glow 26.10 | 1.8 MB (Open Source) Links: Glow Homepage | Screenshot | Github Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
