SET DETAILS
Owner's Description
Image Expo 2013 exclusive edition. Sketch cover.
Death of Seth.
This edition was produced for Image Comics' second mini-expo, held at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco on 2/7/2013. Just 500 people attended, paying $20 for a ticket ($50 for a premium ticket), and so this comic is considered extremely rare - especially when signed (as this one is) by its creator. It was signed across the TWD logo in black sharpie by its creator and writer, Robert Kirkman, on 20/7/2013 and subsequently graded into CGC's prestigious Signature Series.
CGC census 7/2020 = 260. 246 @9.8, none higher. 113 @9.8SS (none higher).
CGC census 1/2024 = 264. 250 @9.8, none higher. 113 @9.8SS (none higher).
Story summary: Denise stumbles upon the corpse of Spencer Monroe with his guts hanging out; Negan is standing next to the body. He coldly says he is dead and asks where his house is as he wants to play pool.
Hours later, Rick and his team arrive back at Alexandria, only to find the gates locked and no one on watch. Locked outside, Rick yells for someone to open the gates, while the group is ambushed by walkers. Olivia quickly arrives and apologizes, and reveals that Negan arrived earlier than expected. Denise then arrives and explains what Negan did to Spencer.
"I thought we had an agreement?!" Rick confronts Negan, who simply gets up and says Rick should thank him, the latter, however, doesn't budge. The two start a very heated conversation. Negan mentions that he's been more than reasonable, citing Carl's incident back at the Sanctuary.
Eventually he asks about the supplies, but changes his mind and says Rick can keep all of them. Rick firmly denies: "A deal is a deal", and gives half none-the-less.
After packing up the supplies, Negan and his eight man crew leave. Rick rushes to his house and orders Andrea, who is upset over Spencer's death, to get a rifle and run to the bell tower. This is their chance to kill Negan.
The driver of the truck is shot in the head by Andrea. Negan curses, evading the gunshots. The Saviors are surrounded by Rick and a few more armed Alexandrians. Rick, filled with rage, asks Negan if he ever heard about a story of someone who brought a baseball bat to a gunfight.
A gunshot sounds. Rick's pistol flies away from his hand: Savior snipers. The surrounding buildings are filled with them. Negan faces Rick holding Lucille, explaining how he always have a backup team for supplies runs, and taunts Rick by saying that, being Alexandria's leader, he should've learned something. "You're fucking fucked, you stupid fucker", he says.
