Alright I got tired of having to spoiler everything, figured the comics deserved its own thread.

THERE ARE TV SPOILERS HERE!!!






Since the show is coming up on the phone calls so early I'm trying to remember what happens...

Last I remember Carl picked up the phone and told Rick that he's nuts, what happens with the phone after that??? Or was the last time we saw it after Rick had sex with Jesse and told "Lori" she wasn't even real?

[StylinRed]

he pretty much cured himself with time and consoling i can't remember when exactly but i think it was when he started banging that other chick carol? who took out carls eye

[DanHibiki]

are we to assume that everyone is update to date in the comics? because i would like to bring out stuff that happened after issue 100

[StylinRed]

im fine with that :)

[DanHibiki]

In that case...

WHY GLENN NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Also not surprised that Rick and Andrea hooked up. I was expecting him and michonne to at some point.

[StylinRed]

i couldnt see glenn being too useful anymore unless they killed off his wife etc; i think thats why they added Jesus as an ally since he seems to be a more elite scout/fighter/etc anyhow

[Iceman-19]

Yeah, poor Glenn! Can't wait for 104!

[DanHibiki]

But he was the only Asian. ;_;

I don't think I've gotten used to any of the newer people. Glenn was one of the originals so its hard to see him go. Who's left from the original group? Rick, Carl, Sophia, Maggie, Andrea?

^^Yea thats about it, I didnt even realize it till you listed it out

Glenn died a nasty nasty death, it was gruesome. Cant wait till that scientist dude finds a way to make bullets and they can start taking out Ngean or wahtever

[Ronin]

Okay, what the fuck, Carl...you fucking fuck.

[k00laid]

oh shit new issue out yesterday/today!

[JKam]

yes we are to assume everyone is up to date... I mean it only comes out once a month haha.

As for Glenn... Jesus is like an upgraded version of Glenn. Upset about it still but I guess it had to happen.

[StylinRed]

no, he's back with the group he even spoke to Rick afterwards about what happened and he wanted to pursue finding materials but Rick told him they were going to bend over to nehgan

last issue i think

[DanHibiki]

Without spoiling. Is all this talk about Carl in issue 104? (I skimmed the last few comments)
Posted via RS Mobile

[StylinRed]

yes

[DanHibiki]

Man this is why I don't read the comics month to month. That issue literally took me 5 min! Gotta build it up and have plenty to read. See you guys in a year!

And ya. Fuck stupid Carl.

yeah scientist guy is back at base and they're going to create bullets in secret. Isn't that what the plan was?

And Carl wtf... I can't see anything good happening from that.. Maybe Jesus and Carl meet up and take over from the inside?

[JKam]

figured this belonged here especially with the potential spoilers..

Anyone think that Maggie in the show is going to get tortured like Michonne in the comic? I think that's going to be a stretch since they REALLY tamed the Woodbury arc. Woodbury doesn't even seem that bad of a place and the governor seems like a normal guy (minus his zombie daughter). He's nowhere near as crazy as comic governor...

The way they portray Andrea in the show is really poor too. I was excited when he was going on the wall since she "was a pretty good shot" but it went to a bow and arrow lol. It's too bad the show is deviating from the comic so much.

[nabs]

hmm must start reading comics... seems intersting. hopefully i can download them all..to many to buy so expensive, lol.

[Ronin]

The Governor is disappointing so far. It's weird that the best characters in the comics totally suck in the show.

So you have a book full of people that died. So what? The Governor in the comics is sadistic and evil and so is Woodbury. This Woodbury seems like a great place to be...and Michonne should've just shut the fuck up and stayed. So what if the Governor has a zombie daughter? Weirder shit happens in the comics.

Sure, people get killed but only the ones that either try to fuck around like Michonne or the ones that go out with Merle. It seems like if you just want to be safe, keep your head down and get an easy job like teach kids to read or rake leaves in the streets or whatever, you can have a pretty good life with hot showers, clean clothes and food. Yeah, we have to watch WWF with zombies acting as the cage but whatever...actually, that sounds awesome. If it's fake, those guys knew what they were getting into.

It's the zombie apocalypse. I think there are more outrageous than watching grown men consent to fighting amongst zombies. The way Merle talks about it, no one's gotten hurt so accidents are probably minimal. Not like wrestlers haven't died on the job in the WWE.

All you have to do when the Gov asks if you want to be a murderous thug is say "Nah, thanks man but is it cool if I do something else? I have skills elsewhere. I can cook or paint or whatever but I'm not cool with the murder so if I could stay here and be of use elsewhere, that would be great. Doesn't seem like you have a shortage of thugs. That dude has a knife for a hand."

DOESN'T SOUND SO BAD NOW DOES IT MICHONNE? All you had to do was be nice and not a nosy bitch.

At least he doesn't just put you in a room and rape you repeatedly like in the comics.

[JKam]

So rumors are circulating that Tyrese is coming in at the end of Season 3.

[wingies]

Michionne had it wayyyy worse in the comic, it was like tied up, beaten the fuck up, and raped repeatedly

woodbury is too calm in the show, and yea i agree that in the comic the governor looked like a red neck hillbilly

lol in the show he looks like a younger liam neeson

[DanHibiki]

Didn't he have kind of a hate for michonne which was a reason why she got raped? Obviously they hate each other in the tv show so who knows, maybe michonne ends up back there and gets raped.

I like the fact that the governor is more tame. Feels more acceptable that way in live action. But I wish he seemed a bit crazier when he's not in the public.


I'm also glad they deviate from the comics. This story is about shock value and surprises. There would be none if they followed the book exactly.

[Ronin]

The story is much less compelling compared to the comics.

[nabs]

got 1 - 90... i guess ill have to buy the rest when/if i get there.

[StylinRed]

in the show the governor actually seems like a good guy and id rather stay with his group unlike in the comic


shame walking dead isn't an HBO production imagine it'd be a lot more like the comic

[DanHibiki]

But this way you get twice the walking dead!

This exactly. Why wouldn't anyone want to stay there right now? From the audience's perspective, Woodbury is a great place to live. Just ignore the killing of other people for supplies and there's really nothing wrong with the place.

I don't feel like the Governor is the "bad guy" in this arc yet. I'm sure I'll feel that way in a couple of episodes though.

[Ronin]

What I'm afraid of is that they drag this arc out too long. I didn't expect this to last more than a season before but now I think the prison arc will be season 3 and 4. They announced that Tyrese will join the cast soon.

If that's the case, maybe the Gov isn't a real "bad guy" til S4?

If they go with a similar timeline to the comics it probably will be Season 3 and 4. We're almost a third of the way through the Prison arc and Tyrese dies near the end of it. To introduce Tyrese at basically season 4 and kill him off a couple episodes later would really suck haha.

true, i should rephrase my comment though; with HBO at helm it would probably be a lot darker/fucked up ;)

I thought they would kill T-Dog like Tyrese, which would make a fuck ton more sense then introducing a new character to the prison (HOW!?) then having the Gov kill him. Remember Tyrese was a big part of the group. Everyone was fucking SAD when they thought he died in that room in the prison where he killed all those zombies with his fists. If Tyrese dies the same way, it wouldn't have the same effect, really. Remember how Glenn talks about T-Dog? That was Tyrese in the comics.

This is weird...all the characters are radically different.

Herschel = Dale
Maggie = Michonne?

Lori sucks. Michonne sucks. Andrea for fucks sake sucks. I mean, Andrea is the best character in the comics. She's awesome, shoots straight and doesn't whine. Carl is...well, now Carl sucks in both.

[nabs]

im really enjoying the comics. I'm on 13, and i like how fast paced it is.

And the story is very different than the show... just seems like the comic book hits on the milestones that the show takes many episodes to portray, but it makes sense tho.

i like the fact that i now get 2 x The walking dead

yup. a lot of people complain about it being so different from the comics but i with u, we get twice the goodies now!

[Ronin]

If that's what they were going to do, they should've just made a new story. Kirkman's world is clearly capable of handling more than one storyline, as the game and multiple novels have successfully demonstrated.

Because they're butchering characters like Andrea and the Governor.

Still, a mediocre series about zombies on AMC is better than 95% of television...

[DanHibiki]

It's just a slightly different take on the comics like a lot of superhero movies.
Posted via RS Mobile

[JKam]

More than slightly when Andrea and the Governor are the polar opposite of what they're supposed to be.

That's like changing Storm from a leader of the X-Men to Jubilee status and Magneto is someone who just wants to get along with humans. (although... you're right they did that with Cyclops in the movies)

But I'm still happy I get twice the Walking Dead. The multiple storyline idea would have been cool though.

[JKam]

Forgot about the new issues during the holidays.

Issue 105 and 106 are out now.
