seeing as how they recently completed the invincible library editions which are the most similar editions to the omnibuses of the walking dead, do you guys think they’ll release hard cover compilations of the comic when its colored edition is fully published?
i love the b&w but i also would like to own the color edition in hardcovers, specially if there’s chances it has even more extras
As a Comic Reader I knew Glenn had to die once Negan showed up in the Show and I wasn't mad that he died. What i was mad about was how AMC handled his Death. Don't get me wrong, S6E16 and S7E1 are great Episodes, especially if you binge them Back to Back. But giving the iconic "Eeny Meeny Miny Moe" to Abraham and therefore reducing Glenn's iconic Death to the result of Daryls stupidity just feels wrong
How many Julian Totino Tedesco variants are there and how intermittent are his Deluxe covers? Where can I view variants for each issue? Thanks.
For me it’s these:
Season 1: volume 1 (5 episodes) Season 2: have a special two parter in between seasons introducing tyreese and end with the group escaping the estates, then rest of volume 2, 3 and 4 (2 episode special, plus 8 episodes Season 3: volume 5-7 (12 episodes) Season 4: volume 8-10 (12 episodes) Season 5: volume 11-12 (8 episodes) Season 6: have a special feature length episode for volume 13 and cover volume 14-17 over 12 episodes Season 7: volume 18-20 (14 episodes) Season 8: have another special feature length episode for volume 21 and cover volume 22 and 23 (9 episodes)
Season 9: volume 24 to 26 (11 episodes)
Season 10: volume 27 - 28 (11 episodes)
Season 11: volume 29-32 (24 episodes) Issue 190-193 is its own 4 hour episode split into two parts.
So we know from the Letterhacks that Kirkman originally intended to kill off Rick instead of Shane in Issue #6. According to Kirkman he wanted to let Carl witness how Shane kills Rick without Shanw knowing that Carl saw it and from there on explore how it would have affected Carl.
This is where you come into play: how would the story moved on from Issue #6 if Kirkman made this a reality
I have the compendiums of the originals but i really want to experience it in colour. Does anyone know any online stores in the uk that have early issues instock starting from #1?
Honestly I think it was an incredibly great and beautiful ending. I think the commonwealth was a bit quick and I don’t love that Sebastian wasn’t killed but I get why and I’m not that upset about it. I am happy that Jesus made it out of the story alive he was one of my favorite characters so that was a nice thing. I also really love that last issue and think it might be one of the best endings I’ve seen to anything. My only wish is that they would’ve done a 6 issue run that showed Carl growing into his adult self but even as is I love it. Honestly the ending has me sad I don’t have anymore to read because I think truly this is my favorite comic I’ve ever read. The ending also reinforces in my mind that amc doesn’t know what the fuck they are doing and the shows will never come close to being as good as the source material.
I know a lot of TV viewers got (rightfully) upset when Glenn/Carl died, and stopped watching, which then makes me wonder, do you think the death of Rick would have left a sour taste in peoples mouth? I don't want to sound condesending, but I think people would have been really upset and outraged that their hero had died etc. but i'm curious what others think.
THEY KILLED DWIGHT WHYYY Dwight was literally one of my favorite characters. Now I want Rick to go full war with the commonwealth. Judging by not much being left I’m betting I won’t get my wish but I really want Pamela dead for this.
Don't get me wrong, very little happens in The Walking Dead Season 2 when compared to the rest of the mainline series and even its many spin-offs… But when you consider the point that TWD's and TLoU's creators wanted to focus on the human narratives and drama with the zombie apocalypse serving as set dressing, well I'd say both shows did a damn good job allowing us to have a lot of breathing space with their cast of characters while also adapting their storylines to better suit a medium that allows for more time to play with the story that both video games and comic issues don't have (runtime & pacing to accommodate gameplay and fast moving, panel-based storytelling)
First before I say anything I just wanna get this outa the way this is not a dis against Sara Wayne Callie’s I think she’s a damn good actress but there’s only so much a good actress can do with shit writing before you have to admit the character was doomed by shit writing. So now that that’s out of the way I gotta ask how the hell did they ruin/butcher lori’s character so much in the show like my first time viewing the walking dead was the tv show and lori was such a bitch in it. So when I learned that the tv show was a adaptation of a comic series I got the first compidem and began to read expecting to hate comic Lori just the same as tv Lori but I was pleasantly surprised to find that comic Lori is such a better character that I even liked and rooted for her. Like an example is her affair with Shane in the show it’s a prolonged afair going on for weeks and after it was done she kept giving mixed messages to the guy’ but in the comic it was a one time thing that she instantly regretted it and cut it off after it happend in a extreme moment of stress.
