That should completely kill collectibility for the series. I've never found anything interesting about the comic or the TV show. This should prompt fans to whine for a week or so before dropping it off their pull list. I'm optimistic that I'll finally get relief from all the people who praise it.
Imagine if you went to ten comic book messageboards and they were all praising raisins in oatmeal. That's what Walking Dead discussion is for me.

- Walking Dead is a comic with ups and downs. It doesn't deserve a lot of the unabashed praise it gets, since it's rarely REALLY good, and sort of hovers around the upper end of "pretty good" in my humble opinion.
BUT. . .
I still have it on my pull list so I'll pick up a store variant for the of it since it looks like by coincidence that the closest LCS to my house (where I have my pulls) is ALSO the only comic shop in Utah with a variant.

- I'm in the same camp as Atom. It has it's moments but I think it's nearing the end of it's run soon. Especially the TV series. I don't know if it signals the end of Rick in the comics too but it'll be tough to keep it movin' once he's gone!

- I think it's survived this long because it wasn't overrun with variants, especially in the beginning.
I think this is the final push to milk retailers out of money and boost sales.
If you think about it, all the money retailers spend on this to promote their store is money not going to ordering other product. That's dragging down the sales of everything else when there could be new titles that are worthy of a little promotion.

- 180 variant covers to the same book? That is dumb beyond reason. Try completing your Walking Dead collection now (suckers?). Image has impressed me in the last decade with their variety of books they put out. Tsk tsk guys, you're on my list now.

- Bingo. It's a quick cash grab for the publisher now, with long term negative repercussions.
