I was not a regular monthly collector of Rober Kirkman/Charles Adlard's Walking Dead, opting to wait for the huge 50 issues thick "Compendium" Editions, but I found it was agonizing waiting so long to see what happened next to Rick Grimes and his crew, additionally, So much time had passed that i would have to re-read all the previous omnibuses before to remember what happened! Finally, after the third Omnibus, I decided that I jsut couldn't wait for the next omnibus, and finally began collecting the trade paperbacks which came out a bit more regularly, starting with Trade 25. Awwwww so good!
The Walking Dead Compendiums (which collect a whopping 50 issues of the popular series) are released so far and few between that I always have to go back and re-read the previous compendiums to refresh my memory of what's happened before! What a massive, EPIC series!!!!
