Cpt Obvious: Well, you should start with the first issue!
Robert: True!
But there are different editions of the Walking Dead comics. So if your unsure as where to start your collection, here is a short list of options:
Walking Dead Book 1:
This one collects the first 12 issues in a 204 page hardback or paperback book. The hardcover goes for 22 Eur. Probably the most obvious choice if your new to the series.
Walking Dead Compendium v 1:
The big one! A collection of the 48 first issues.
You'll get 1088 pages of zombie horror, bound in paperback.
Could be too large and heavy for some readers. I spotted this one at 40 Eur.
Walking Dead Omnibus v1.
Collects the first 24 issues in a 506 hardback.
Comes in a slip-case. I own this one myself, it's quite heavy and large. Goes for 65 Eur.
Walking Dead Volum 1: Days Gone Bye
Collects the 6 first issues in a 144 pages paperback.
Didn't find a price for this one, but i bet it's pretty cheap.
So hopefully, this will give you a few pointers on getting started with your own awesome Walking Dead collection.
The prices could vary a bit depending on which store you buy from, so check out different sites before you buy. That could save you some money.
I own the Omnibus, and i have to admit that I'm not too happy with it. It looks good, with a nice design and a cool looking slipcase. But it's pretty heavy and cumbersome to read. Could be used as a blunt weapon, i guess that's a plus if you think the zombie apocalypse is upon us...
So, I'm gonna continue my collection with the 12 issue books instead. It will cost me more in the long run, but i prefer the more relaxing read a lighter book provides. Lazy i know.
