The monster that is Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard’s The Walking Dead just keeps getting bigger and bigger as issue #100 was just announced as the best selling single comic book issue of the century. In only 1 day, over 375,000 units were sold, making it the most since 1997's The Darkness #11. The initial order of 383,612 was completely sold out, a feat which harkens back to the glory days of the comic book industry.
“The Walking Dead continues to greatly exceed all my expectations in all forms,” said Robert Kirkman. “I am especially excited for what this means for comics as an industry, that this is an independent comic hitting that number.” Kirkman continued, “The future of comics couldn’t be brighter as more and more readers are embracing new ideas in a big way.”
