Exclusive: First look at ‘The Walking Dead’ issue 81
Though many of the book’s fearful elements have come from its still-human participants, with issue No. 81, due in January 2011, there’s no mistaking the book’s real stars: the zombies. (No offense to Glenn, at left, and Heath, but they seem to have their hands full.)

Computo will tally the votes between the polling period of OCTOBER 20 and NOVEMBER 10.

DC Comics Hero, Superman, Gets Own Slot At Online Casinos
CryptoLogic has signed a deal with DC Comics that will allow the software provider to develop games based on some of the most popular comic book figures of all-time. The Superman slot is one that online players have been waiting for since the deal was struck. The game features Superman, of course, but has much more detail than what one would expect. First off, the game has fifty pay lines. This comes at a time when the slot games are becoming more advanced, and increased pay line slots are becoming the norm at online casinos. Superman also comes with an optional bonus bet in which players can take the chance to win additional money on their wins. The bonus is similar to what casinos have done with blackjack in the past couple of years.
Hellboy Action Hero Gets Slot At Virgin Games
Virgin Casino, part of the leading online gaming company — Virgin Games, has today announced the launch of Hellboy, a brand new slot from leading online game developer, Microgaming. Hailing from Mike Mignola”s most coveted imaginative comic action hero of the nineties, ”Hellboy”, this latest game is a featured slot with 5 reels and 20 playlines. Licensed from Dark Horse Comics, the slot features many of the iconic characters from the original comic book, such as Prof. Trevor Bruttenholm, Johann Krause, Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman and all the others, led by the stone-fisted and de-horned red demon-for-good himself.
To summarize an hour of dialogue, you should at some point have a product that your readers will want. You should give a lot of free content away, but even when it comes to content, you can charge for some amount, and if your content is good enough, people will pay for the premium stuff. "You can tell them about ninety percent, and they'll pay money just to get the final ten percent," so they know they have the whole picture, Clark says.
Making money blogging will not happen overnight. Sometimes it may seem like this is possible, but in reality, it takes a lot of work. "Build something that is real and something that matters to people," Rowse advises. He shared a story about how he launched a product one day and literally watched the sales roll in. It was as if he had hit a button, and the cash just started flowing, but then he realized he had been working hard up to that point for over two years, promoting the blog, writing two posts a day, doing SEO, press releases, etc. It wasn't overnight.
You're not scalable, meaning that as your audience grows and more people want to connect with you, there will be a point where it just becomes too much. You have to set boundaries, otherwise you will have no time for yourself and your family.
Eventually, you're going to have to "get real" about how many meaningful connections you can make in a day, Simone says, adding, "That's part of growing up in social media.”
When they say "no one actually wants that much authenticity," they mean that nobody cares about what you did last night, who you were with, what you had for breakfast, etc. In other words, don't show everybody everything about yourself, because you're not writing for you. You're writing for them. Be who you want to be for your audience.
Ultimately, you're blogging and using social media to sell, but you can't just go around selling to people, because they won't have it. It just doesn't work. You have to make them want to buy. "You're selling yourself," says Clark. If you provide enough value to your audience, they will want to buy what you have to offer if it expands upon the value you're already giving them. "The content is the marketing," he says.
Just having a blog is not a business. If you want it to be a business you have to treat it like one, Rowse says. This is basically an extension of number 2.
The most important of the seven points is that no one is reading your blog. As Simone says, there are hundreds of millions of blogs, and that includes blogs on your topic. You have to write it in a way that is fresh, and either entertaining or informative. The good news is that you don't need "monster traffic". You just need a good, steady core audience for advertising to do well.
