2019 Comic Wing Inductees
San Diego Comic Con happens this week and we will be providing as much news here as we can over the days. SDCC starts Thursday July 18th-Sunday, July 21st.
Robert Kirkman announced unexpectedly that The Walking Dead comic book would end after issue #193. Despite having solicited two subsequent issues in August and September, issues #194 & 195, the book will end at #193. This surprising news has caused collectors to start looking for their own copy and forced Image Comics to begin a second printing. From the website Newsarama, “I’ll say it again, I love (loved… oh, god, I’m not ready for past tense) writing this series. I really don’t want it to end. In fact, I’ve been… kind of unsettled since I wrote the script for this issue. The whole thing just feels… weird,” wrote Kirkman in a letter published with The Walking Dead #193. “In a way, killing this series has been a lot like killing a major character. Much, much harder… but the same feeling. I don’t want to do it. I’d rather keep going… but the story is telling me what it wants and what it needs. This needs to happen. Whether I want it or not.”
