However, the brothers quickly discover that they are in over their heads.”The response to Viking has been absolutely flooring in every way.But the chance to expose the book to the entire massive Walking Dead fan base is a whole new level of exciting,” said Ivan Brandon. “Even though Viking is normally in our full color oversized format, we were surprised by how incredible Nic’s art looked in black and white.I think people are really going to love what they see.”Kirkman added, “I’m personally psyched to have Viking in the back of Walking Dead. As both an Image Partner and a fan, I’m thrilled by the book’s success and hope to continue its growth in any way I can.”
