- How to Start Reading TWD comics Today. A beginners Guide to get started reading the Walking Dead comics and how much they cost. TWD Comic is sold in single Issues. Six Issues are put into what is called a Trade Paper Back (TPB). 2 TPBs are put into Hard Cover Books (HC Books) and 4 HC Books are put into One Compendium which equals 48 single issues. I recommend you start out with the 2 compendiums and then move to TPB vols, 17,18,19,20,21, & 22 and pick up from the single issue #133 & #134... Then you are now caught up!!

Thank you!

great job for the people who dont read comics love your channl you need more subs man you deserve it keep it up
"Eventually you'll be hooked" I just completed a year of reading the comics, this video helped.
My heart dropped so bad when you said Carl died.
SAME I WAS LIKE HUUHHH😰😱😱😱
+COOLECTORSWHAT? He doesn't.
+Cannon18 Wielder86 I know but I still freaked until he said just kidding😑
same😂
I knew he didnt bcuz of the issue cover
I appreciate the video! I'm 14 years old and a huge fan of the show, and this video helped me out a lot. I've got the first 3 compendiums and much like you, I'm hooked on the story. I know this video is a bit out dated for me, but the point still got across. Thanks for uploading!
I've watched this a long time ago back in 2015 and got interested on reading the comics and then fast forward I've finally got all Compendiums 1-4 got hooked to the story and know i've always keep coming back and binge reading it good thing you made this video Ronny you are the man!!
I was very confused by the issues and the volumes, but now I understand thanks to you! I think I will start reading once I finish the series I'm reading now.
TheMistChannel Awesome, glad to help!!
This was really awesome Ronny! Thank you for this!
Getting into it now! Even after years of publishing this video you are still helping people get into this amazing series! Thank you so much
I started collecting the issues at 100 as well. I agree with you too that a new beginning is such an amazing story arc that really just started. We whisper, and the dead don't mind. Also Carl last issue was, was just.... I can't even describe the badass that is Carl Grimes
I found this video around November 2015 and just wanna say thank you. I had been interested in reading the comics and this video helped me out tremendously. That Christmas I got Compendium 1-3 and every Christmas afterwards (2016, 2017, and 2018) I got books 13, 14, and 15. This past Christmas I got book 16(the last one) and I thought it was great. I had a great time reading this series and enjoyed it so much. I would never had read this amazing story if it wasn't for you, once again, thank you
This was great. I was very resistant to the comics before TWD, but I don't know how anyone could read these and not be hooked. Awesome video.
Christie Thank you!!
Almost done with compendium 2 and had to come back to this video to do some homework. Thank you for making this keep up the fantastic job with EVERYTHING. I get giddy whenever I watch ur videos ,TMI but totally true.
Chantal Volkel Well thanks for the continued support!!
I think I'm going to get the two compendiums, the remaining volumes, issues, and then subscribe to the comic.
SuperParkerBrothers Great idea!
I think your explanation was very clear for new readers I myself have been reading the comics for awhile so I understand how it works but still great job!
YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME WITH "THE DEATH OF CARL"
Ali Masswi Muahhahahaha Nice!!
Make A Path Presents DON'T EVER DO THIS TO ME AGAIN
Make A Path Presents btw, I have a question. Will you even do a cover review for something to fear? Because they're all the same basically.
Ali Masswi Already did... th-cam.com/video/MMI7ZDUNaE0/w-d-xo.html
best video i've seen so far about the walking dead comics. i wish i had started a long time ago because the single issue covers have great artwork
I watched this around a year ago, and bought the two compendiums, read through them. After that I waited for the third compendium, and now get the volume every 6 months (waiting for volume 26) as I haven't found much of a way to get single issues as I live in England. - thanks anyway - you started me on a fucking awesome story.
I know how you feel, I've already had the Whisperer War spoiled for me accidentally because I have to wait for the volumes to come out. Wish I could easily get the issues every month
You can get the issues from forbidden planet in the uk, and it will be delivered to you which is what I did
I just got the 2 compendiums online. cant wait to start reading the comics. Thank you because I didn't know how to get into it before this video. You helped me out a lot here
This is when Carl dies.... LMAO you got me baaaaaaad.
Matt Pena Carl is dead on the show now ..😵😬
Thank you for explaining. I always was a little confused about this. And you got me there for a second at 7:25 even though I'm already caught up to the latest issue :D lol.
Robin LOl, awesome & funny I was hoping I would get some people to scratch their heads a min lol.
I had already gotten into the walking dead comics before I watched this but this would've been helpful when I first started. By the way you forgot to mention omnibus which are 4 trade paperback (24 issues). Great video by the way
how dare he!!!!! im getting my pitchfork ready lol
Ive literally just started reading The Walking Dead, I spent hours at London Comic Con this past weekend looking for Volume 1, nobody had it, but my local book store did and my lord, im hooked already. Ive decided im going to collect them all in the TPB version and ive already ordered volumes 2 and 3. I was not a comic book guy until i started to read these, but wow. I love the show and im now in love with the comics. You have also gained yourself a new subscriber my friend
I like volume covers better personally
I started reading the comics during season 3 and immediately became hooked to the story! I think may eventually purchase the compendiums!
Thanks again!
Thanks so much this was a huge help with all the volumes and the issues I was getting confused of the order of them all XD
VoteScott No prob, glad it helped!!
Thank you so much for breaking it down for me. I agree that the compendium are a better buy than the paper trade back since I have a very limited budget. And I keep forgetting that Amazing still sells them for a cheaper price. Thank you again!!
Thanks so much man, I know exactly what to get now. Thanks!
+Soul Eater No prob!!
+Make A Path Presents thx
Absolutely loved your video! The Walking Dead stays one of the best comics I've ever read, seriously I appreciate the editing and passion you show so well. Can't wait to finish collecting both the TPBs and the Compendiums :)
I startd reading 3 years ago and i buy the hard covers but I have to wait 5000 years for the next one to be released I would recommend the trades easer than single issues with less wait wish I knew that when I started
lol same
I do not read comics, but I started reading when they were posted TH-cam, before they were deleted. Thanks for braking it down for me. I will be purchasing the two Compendiums from Amazon. Thanks again!
happiness74 Awesome!!

THANK YOU!! I have wanted to start reading the comic but didn't know where to start!!! Thank you!
4:25 mindblown how did I not notice that lol
Notice what?
I think he when he was talking about the people on top and zombies on the bottom lol this comment is 6 years old
these videos got me through a lot of lonely childhood nights, hope you’re doing good man🙏🏽
I have both compendiums and love it!! Soon gonna order the third so i can read up about negan and all out war!!!
+jboogie93 I highly recommend the Barnes & Noble Variant of Compendium 3!!
+Make A Path Presents Because rick grows his hand back lol
I just started reading the comics online but I, personally, *love* the feel of having the book in hand. I had no idea where to start. Now, I'm super psyched and all nerded out to start building my Walking Dead library. Thank you so much! ^-^
Kaliah Todd You are very welcome!!!!
I would love to have all the trade paperbacks on a shelf in my room, i just don't have the money for it though. It would be alright if the series just started but there's over 20 of em now. I read them online the day it comes out.
Phalvesaurus I feel your pain, the good thing about the Trades though is they don't sky rocket in value like the comics so you can slowly collect them over a period of time one by one
Just ordered myself a late Christmas present. Went on Amazon & ordered the 1st Compendium. Had to go back & rewatch this video to refresh my memory on the best & cheapest way to start reading the comics. Thanks for the advice, can't wait to start reading. Hope u & your daughter had a great Christmas. Look forward to your next video.
Brooke Arnold Thank you very much, I am so glad the video helped!
Just looked on eBay and bought compendium 1 for £10
Thanks for this. I really needed a guide. I´m from Chile, and here UNLIMITED released the first 16 story arcs in "trade paper backs" ( emulating the english HC books) so I was really confused in how to continue the story. Thanks to you now I´m complete clear in how to keep reading (I will have to start buying compendium 3 and 4 in english) thanks a lot!!! You really saved me!!!
you had me scared for a minute there thought carl actually dies
StuntMan Reggie lol, nice, I was hoping to freak out a few ppl
Thank you for this explanation , already finished reading the first compendium and waiting to the second compendium that I ordered to arive
i got the first compendium last night on amazon i cant wait till next week when it comes i got it for $32
Yes so far i love it
The story just gets better and better.
Awesome!
We're any pages faded?
When you said the whole Carl death thing you really got me!!!!!
Caleb Pilarczyk Awesome! lol
"When Carl died" huh maybe you should stop predicting thing ronnie
I have never been into reading but I've just watched every episode of TWD waiting for season 7 and you have got me hooked on getting the big book (can't spell what they're called) and it was easy to understand...thanks so much
I remember watching this last year ive been reading ever since
thank you
This video helped me out 100% and is the reason I got into the comics, just finished The Sorrowful Life
2016 and this video was PERFECT! thank you brother. I plan on starting to read the comics and didn't really understand the difference between them all till now. great work
Monthly reader of The Walking Dead Comic Book Series. Just wanted to say I love your videos Ronny. Keep up the great work!
***** Awesome, Comic reviews coming soon!!
Thanks so much for making this video, I've been wanting to figure out what all these issues and paperback were. Now I can finally order them and start reading, man thanks.
This is very helpful. Appreciate this video because there are hardly on the internet explaining in detail like you did. Love the dexter bobble head in the background!
Glad it was helpful! I was new to different type of collected comic released too before The Walking Dead. Figured it would help others.
hey man been a fan of the channel since i found it. always wanted to read the comics and my wife just got me all three compendiums for Christmas and she did because of this video, so i just wanted to say thank you. finished the first one in a day. boy what a difference between this and the show im hooked.
Just finished my first trade paperback (to see if I enjoyed the comic) and I have to say that I have never read a comic book before, but I fell in love with the story even more. I forgot for awhile that I was reading a comic book. I'll be purchasing the compendiums from your recommendation. Thanks for convincing me to start reading!
StritzzArtz Awesome!!!!
Thank you so much I was gonna start with the volumes but I saw issues and I got Confused. Thank you so much I gave this a like and I am hoping people out there will find this too🙏🏽🙏🏽
Received the hardcover books 1&2 for my birthday and i have been hooked, power reading through it whenever i get more books. I just got books 10&11 tonight. The hardcovers are probably the most expensive way to go, but they look great & i think the pages are larger than the original printings. These are the only comics I collect, aside from a few random stand-alone graphic novels.
great job breaking this down. I, like you, did the Compendiums at the start (it is cheaper and you get all the information in one convenient place). I havent started buying the comics by the issue yet, but that is what I am doing. I tend to watch them digitally on the release day. but good job. this will get most started
Thank you..You have been such a big help. I was going to look for just the single issue comic to start reading but since you have shown me the Compendium i know that is the way to go..Thanks again
I've never read the comics but often heard it was better then the show. After watching some of your vids and seeing this one, I decided to buy the first compendium. Thanks for the info!
thanks again man 2nd compendium arrived today.
Thx For The video it Made it al clear, I’m Reading volume 1 now
Just finished all out war and I am so glad to have begun reading the comics. Nice video Ronnie
I've heard fans rave about the comic books for awhile, I'd not been set on trying them but this really helped! Thank you, I'm 110% going to buy and catch up on the comics! Might get into a little trouble for blowing my money on the compendiums as well as the single issues ( some of those cover arts really bring out my inner nerd ) ... Fab!!
TitchyBritt You are very welcome and I am the same way, I want a copy of each cause the covers rock!!
Completely agree man! I got both the compendiums last Christmas for £50 and I love them to bits. The only problem is the long wait for the third one :P
i was considering getting the compendium but after this video iam 100 percent getting it. so thanks dude
The breakdown of what everything has in it and the price of each was extremely helpful! I tried reading online about it but I just couldn't wrap my mind around the numbers. Seeing it in video form helped.
Thank you for this! Time to start the comics...lol!
Thank you, I've just ordered the first compendium and it should be coming in a few days, so excited!
never read a comic in my 37 years on this planet but this story is too awesome to ignore. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction ronnie.
Wow not even a archie?
I'm in Australia so we don't have traditional comic book stores so I have never been able to get into the comics or any comics and didn't want to read them online. I managed so find a store that will ship all 4 compendiums from the states and I am so excited! I really wish there was a monthly subscription I could sign up to in Australia for the comics but haven't found anything yet. Information was super helpful. Thank you
Thank you. Excellent breakdown. Never read a comic book in my life. Considering it because I love TWD so much.
becky stein Same, well, when I was little I used to get comics from ACME but as an adult TWD was my first comic I read and I am hooked!!
Thank you I saw this a while ago and now just finished the first compendium. It was amazing and I actually realize the show is so much different. I'm reading compendium 2 right now and so far it's good.
i watched this and the first compendium will arrive today! thanks for the information, it was very very helpful!!
Glad to help!
Make A Path Presents I really wish the hardcover compendiums were cheaper
Thanks for the video man. Never done comic books but always liked them. Never knew where to get them until this video so thanks heaps!
Thanks Ronny!! With Christmas just around the corner, I was hoping to buy this but since comic books are not that popular here I really didn't know how to look for them online. Very informative!
Sil GO You are very welcome
I've never read a comic book in my life, but my daughter and I are true Walking Dead fans! We're looking forward to the Walker Stalker Con in Atlanta in October! We've wanted to start reading the comics, but there were so many different kinds that we had no idea where to start. Thanks so much for the explanation! Now we can start collecting without getting lost!
Jessica Shadden That is super awesome, I am very glad this video helped yous out!! Thanks for sharing!!
thank you dude very informative. i wouldve thought you were a comic book buff! finished days gone bye today and ill continue to get the paperbacks sheerly due to the puzzle piece like walkers on the covers. and i the same as you started with the tv show which twitched a need to read the comics and i havent been disappointed. the art is fantastic!
continue to get paperbacks for now*
Thank you for this! It was completely helpful! I bought the compendium 1 just now! Going to get started on it on Monday. Love, love love TWD, I'm sure I'll love the comics too.
Marlo Griffith You most certainly will love them!! Can't wait for your first update about them. I like hearing what people thing when they are new to the comics. Glad the video was helpful!!
In 2019 i watched this and started buying the paperbacks with 6 issues at least 1 a month. Thanks man
This was super helpful, thank you! Getting the compendium's for Christmas & now I know where to go from there :D
BeautyTalkWithCin Awesome, very glad it helped!!
Idkw but when it zoomed in and he said "This is Carl" I laughed SO hard!
This video was a huge help! I was so confused about all the different editions! Thanks!
+Recovery Rage Awesome, glad to help!!
thanks for this, was a lot of help. Ordered the compendiums through Amazon and can't wait to start!
Ronny you should do a Quick update on this.. because you got me into them..the more people that start reading these the better for the show I believe ..worth a try.
I have watched from season 1 the whole way up to season 6 of the walking dead and I pretty much can't wait to start reading the comics.
I think buying the hardback books is the best way to go. That's how I got started back in 2010. I bought volume 1 and got hooked so gradually bought the rest over time and caught up. I prefer having the whole series in one uniform book series rather than a couple of compendiums then five TPBs then a load of comics.
Those sculptures in the back are so cool
From this video I just bought the walking dead compendium book 1!!! So excited to read it!
Thank you man you got me set up, I have compendiums 1-3 now and the following 2 volumes waiting on compendium 4. 👍🏽💯😄
I'm getting all 3 of the compendiums now! Thanks Ronny!!!!
+Trevor Crusciel No problem, thanks for watching!!
Dude, thank you! That was SUPER helpful! I got TPB's Volume 1-4 for Christmas, so once I'm done with those, I'll be on issue 24, and chomping at the bit to get more! I've never been a huge comic guy, but like you, the show got me interested in checking them out. Thanks for the video man, it was very well explained, informative, and entertaining! I love all of your Walking Dead stuff in the background! Thanks again man, I really appreciate it!
You know I get em brother! You did a great job of breaking these books down for people wanting to start reading the comic story. The compendium is definitely the best bang for your buck but if you can only collect 1 I would have to say the hard back's are the best for wear and tear over time and look great displayed. Maybe I'll do a video on my hardbacks in the near future to let everyone get a look at those and explain them a little for everyone. Keep up the great work my friend!
1soliddavesnake I would like to see a hard cover vid for sure! I think that is a great idea!! Thanks man!!
I starting watching the walking dead and two years ago my brother told me that if I like the show I should try the comics and since than I've been hooked. I love zombies in general and this comic really did it for me. I also read other comics as well
Thanks , just ordered my compendium 1 online , I paid 50 dollars though but I didn’t really understand how comics worked like what a volume meant and this helped me a lot. So in my opinion , you explained just great 👍
8 years later and I looked up this video, the comics are now finished and I have bought the two first paperbacks, those and the compendiums I can buy locally, and I just like the paperbacks so much Ima keep buying them til I have all of them.
I bought compendium 1 after watching this, finished it In a Week and ordered compendium, can't wait.
Thank you so much! Love the show so much but have never been much of a comic guy. Love the art and figured I'd start reading. This helped a lot
Thanks for this!! It makes so much more sense now.. your a life saver!
Perfect in every way. Thanks dude for explaining the confusions.
Great video I don't read comic books but I want to start reading The Walking Dead comic books but I didn't know where to start your video really helped me Thanks keep up the great videos
Anthony Jones Very glad to hear it, let me know what ya think about them
Man i LOVE you, didn’t know where to start , but now i know what to do. Ty!!!
I'm definitely going to be investing in this! Huge fan of the show and now you've convinced me 100% to start reading the comics!
Guitars & Gaming Hurry!! Lol, You won't regret it!! Where the story is at in the comics right now is just... amazing!! Hurry but read slow lol
Make A Path Presents This was a great video that really helped me. My girlfriend got me compendium one and two for my birthday and I'm having trouble putting them down. So awesome.
