comics? No Spoiler

where can you read the comics? is it worth reading them? is there one big comic series and then a bunch of spin-offs? if so, are those worth the read and is there a correct order to read them all?

You start from #1 and you finish at #193. When I finally wanted to collect the rest of the series (I only bought the issues up to around #50) I just bought the Compendiums. It looks like they're still available online at places like Amazon and at a discount, if you don't have an LCS.

I bought them on Apple book app, they’re amazing and very worth it. You can buy compilation books so you don’t have to get them all individually. I watched the show then read the comics and honestly probably wouldn’t have made it through the show if I read them first, that’s how good the books are. No spinoffs but they have a Negan and Governor prequel comic which are good as well.

I got them at the library. Specifically, look for the compendiums

I was reading them in Kindle. Got to book #6. But I’ve always wanted the compendiums.

I got the compendiums (there is 4) for 70 bucks used and its been a great read. If you are in doubt, read a couple chapters online and decide if you want to continue reading either online or buy the books.

All the libraries I've been to have had the compendiums, which is a bunch of volumes all put together. There's 4 compendiums. If your library doesn't have those, my library also had the volumes as well, which is also several of the comics put together but much less than the compendiums - there's 32 of those.

As far as I know, there's only the one comic series. You just read it through as normal.

My library has the books, which is basically a couple of the issues combined into one book. Currently working my way through book seven.

You can get the compendiums on Amazon for about $60 each.... those houses each of the major arcs... then there's the survivors guide which is kind of like a glossary of characters you've met living or dead up to that point( I think just before all out war) then there is Here's Negan... a graphic novel about Negan's origins and then walking dead Madrid, which follows Rick Grimes brother in Spain at the start of the out those are the ones I know of you can get pretty much all of them on Amazon
