Is a new key character debuting in Walking Dead 108?

Walking Dead #108 - Midtown Comics (http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.asp?PRID=Walking+Dead+%23108_1246050)

I was just checking up on WD books and I came across this on Midtown. Has Ezekiel already debuted in a recent issue I missed? If not, it looks like he might play a key role in the series (why else would he be on the cover, looking pretty bad-ass at that). What do you guys think; stock up?

Checked wiki. Says nothing is known about him except he is on the cover of 108. Could be a good pickup. Most walking dead comics are a good pickup anyways as long as you dont mind holding onto them for 12 months. I know someone who buys 30 of every walking dead and sells it 12 months later. Seems to work out for him

hasn't appeared yet, but he could be in 107 as well, don't miss out on that one.

Yea 107 seems like its gonna be a good book. the storyline has been pretty good these last few issues but the series as a whole is just great!

[jasonadkins]

Yeah, the end of 106 left a crazy cliffhanger, I'll avoid the spoiler for those who haven't read it. I can't wait to see how 107 begins. I preordered 50 of 108, haven't preordered any 107's, maybe I should protect myself in case Ezekiel debuts in it. Should be interesting.

only 50? Lightweight :) Joking

Keeping my fingers crossed it's this guy's first appearance, with him on the cover looking that cool it kind of reminds me of Michonne's cover on WD 19. Even non-key WD's rarely go down within a year, so even if I sell them for $2 each in a year I broke even (a little pain in the a** moving them maybe). I've made some good profits on books lately, so a $100 risk on this issue won't leave me crying if I strike out.

Im going to make a large order this month sometime. Ill probably wind up throwing 108 in the mix just in case.

This is an old thread I know. Looks like Jason was correct in picking up 50 of these :)

How many do you have left?

(BTW, I Googled "The Walking Dead 108 key?" and this thread was top o' the heap)

Still have a few raws and the 9.8 I picked up from Indy.

[mwolfson22]

I have 15 Raw and 10 9.8 with another batch on its way to CGC.

What?!?!?!?! Awesome!

[jasonadkins]

I think I have about 250 of them from TFAW that are sitting in a box in my room. Most should be 9.8's, just haven't had a chance to submitting them lately (with MTG tournaments five nights per week I've been in the shop about 85 hours per week).

[21Pittsburgh58]

What?!?!?!?! You, MWolfson and Indy are getting ready to make bank (I hope)!!!

Sweet Maria, I was happy with my measly 3 copies :)

Maybe I'm out of the loop...why is this heating up?

Looks like Ezekiel will be coming to the AMC show shortly....

Ezekiel and Shiva for Season 6 (maybe)

[John91C]

cool...maybe it's time I pull out my copies...sitting a quite a few! Thanks!

[jasonadkins]

So far every major character in the comics through the first 60+ issues has appeared in the TV show (Father Paul Monroe confirmed for Season 5). Negan and Jesus will probably pop up late in Season 5 IMO, and Ezekiel late in Season 6 would make sense. Most people felt Season 4 was the worst made for the show, but the ratings keep soaring at this point. Negan will bring that element The Governor brought that I thought made Season 3 the best so far, and I like Negan a lot better in the comics than I did The Gov. It would be very surprising if the ratings keep going sky-high to end the show after Season 6 that is contracted; just too much money for everyone involved. Ezekiel and The Kingdom would play out well for at least three seasons IMO, but not sure if they would include Shiva in the mix (not sure how many actors would want to be on set with a damn Tiger).

I will probably grade and slowly disperse my copies of 108, but certainly not in a rush and they should steaily increase as they dry up and the show gains more millions of fans every season.

I forget if those are bricks of 20 or 25 per, I think it's 25. TFAW takes good care of their books too, so most should be 9.8's.

Those look like 25 bricks. What a great issue to have such a stash on!
