  1. Very nice Mark! :cloud9:

     

    Where did you get your display case? hm

     

    I think it's the Detolf from Ikea

     

    That's it! Very inexpensive, easy to put together and sturdy.

     

    Wish I had room for more but my comic room is packed.

     

     

  2. What a crappy issue. I knew I read it before.

    There will always be villains to compare to...Neagan is much different than the Gov. and I don't really see any similarities beyond it being one guy leading a group of people against Rick and his people. Other than that...completely different stories.

     

     

     

     

    :facepalm:

     

    Oh ya, completely different!

     

    One psycopath, leading a group to Ricks safehaven, having said group attack with military weapons (tanks), vs another psycopath leading a group to Ricks safehaven, having said group attack with military weapons (grenades).

     

    Dude, the similarities here are exhausting. Even raising their arm to announce the slaughter is exactly the same.

     

    I still like the book but you have to be delusional to think these are different stories. He, Kirkman, freaken plagarized himself.

     

    Don't buy it if you don't like it.

     

  3. 2. I don't get Chris Hardwick. I don't think I like him. Who is he? Where did he come from? Did he just get hired for the talking dead show? And then this game show he has, which is pretty lame, wtf is this all about? Sorry might be the wrong thread. But ya just figured it out, I don't care for him.

     

    +1

    He annoys me in between commercial breaks of the show. You'll have a serious scene end and then he suddenly pops in with his over-the-top announcer voice and breaks the mood. Not a viewer of TD, either.

    Yes I knew I wasn't alone.

     

    I also don't like him...he was better on Talking Bad but I think he's annoying.

  4. What Walking Dead fans need to realise is that this is a natural hazing process.

     

    I still remember Spider-Man being a second rate property to Batman and Superman in the eighties. (Marvel celebrated 25 years while Superman celebrated his 50th, within a few years of each other) I remember arguments about longevity and tradition.

     

    I still remember TMNT being a second rate property compared to the Marvel and DC icons, even as late as ten years ago, disregarding their three movies, multiple cartoon iterations, toy lines, comic lines, etc.

     

    Walking Dead still has to prove itself to comic book fans at large. Long term.

     

    And it will.

     

    Or it won't.

     

    Nice perspective. I guess it's the typical case of what I know and love is awesome and what is new sucks.

     

    My personal opinion is that TWD IS the next big thing and hands down, the most important modern book.

     

    Aside from the price tag...what is it that makes it the next big thing & the most important modern book?

     

     

    personal opinion

     

    Care to elaborate?

     

    Have you read TWD? I can promise you issues 1-48 are worth a 230+ page thread about debating its longterm relevance. It's great story. Not my favorite, but a great story.

     

    Anyone who hasn't read the comic and comments on this thread should go read the book then come back.

     

    I am not some zombie lover. I am a Marvel guy ....it's in my DNA. But, the writing in TWD comic was/is phenomenal.

     

    It's the only comic I have pulled at my LCS and that i've read the whole run. Seriously that says a lot coming from a superhero fan. In the runs I collect of Iron Man, Thor, etc, there are pockets of story arcs that are great but I never had a book pull me in for 50 issues and me still wanting more.

     

    Anyway, that's my perspective.
