Announcement 1: The Walking Dead Compendium #4

The last time fans of The Walking Dead got their hands on a freshly released compendium based on the popular comic book series was Oct. 7, 2015, which told the story from issue 97 to 144 in one massive compilation.

Good news came when Robert Kirkman announced at New York Comic Con that the fourth compendium in the series focusing on The Whisperer War will be released in approximately one year.

Here is the tweet from The Walking Dead confirming Kirkman’s statement that Compendium 4 is coming in 2019:

Of course, the Compendiums are equivalent of binge-watching your favorite episodes of a show. You may already own the individual issues of volumes of the story, but the compendium offers a huge collection of issues in one publication, meaning they also make great gifts for fans.

It will be a four-year gap between releases, but at least we know it is on the way!
