15 years ago I had a chance to go to a comic convention in Las Vegas and at the convention there was a booth showing off a new book. The two folks that were there were Tony Moore and Robert Kirkman and the book they were selling was The Walking Dead. As I started reading this issue I knew that this was going to be a special comic series. Now 15 years later Image have announced that they are going to be releasing some blind bag editions this October! There is more information below but there are going to be a number of variants that you can get in these bags. Each of the issues are a key issue such as Walking Dead #27 which is the first appearance of the Governor. More information about this event can be found below and I will be purchasing a few bags for my own collection!
