Emerald City ComiCon Exclusive Zombie Statue

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008--by Stephen Schleicher

eccc-andrew_1.jpgThose attending the Emerald City ComiCon in May, and who love the rambling, shuffling moves of the undead, can get their hands on CS Moore’s latest Walking Dead Torso Statuettes featuring Andrew after he’s been bitten.

“We couldn’t resist doing something cool for the Emerald City ComiCon,” said Clayburn Moore. “This is our first time exhibiting at the show and we wanted to start with a splash, and what better way to do that than creating a unique collectible in the spirit of the ‘emerald city?’”

The emerald variant features a custom green paint job and will be limited to 300 copies, and will set you back a mere $30.00.

The milestone issues of Walking Dead and Invincible are getting ever closer, and according to Image, the titles are at the top of their game, with both titles selling out at the distributor level.

“People seem to be real psyched for our big milestone,” said series writer Robert Kirkman. “Having THE WALKING DEAD #42 and INVINCIBLE #45 sell out has gotten the entire creative team very fired up. Ryan Ottley’s and Charlie Adlard’s pages get better and better the closer we get to fifty.”

Image Comics must be super happy as it has announced five titles (Dust #1, Invincible #43 & #44, Madman Atomic Comics #3, and the Walking Dead #39) have completely sold out at Diamond.

“Having such a wild variety of titles sell out at the same time showcases what’s great about Image,” said Erik Larsen, Publisher of Image Comics. “Each of these titles caters to a completely different audience, but every single one is in major demand. These are cartoonists, writers and artists at the top of the game doing the work they’ve wanted to do their entire lives with an immense amount of success. It’s books like these I dreamed of when we first formed Image. I couldn’t be happier.”

I haven’t read Dust, but Invincible, Madman, and the Walking Dead are all high on the Major Spoilers reading list.
