    TWD TV SHOW--Offical Discussion Thread

    in Modern Age Comic Books

    Posted

    Last night's episode was on the lighter side regarding action sequences, but that's ok. I'm not expecting mindless action all the time, for that I'll pop in a blu-ray of The Expendables and call it a day.

     

    I want to see these types of episodes, because they build on the characters' psyches and allow me, the viewer, to be more vested in and care more for each character because I see their human side and psychological struggles as much as the physical ones. I felt for Maggie, Sasha and Darryl and I also felt bad that they were all struggling to find water.

     

    To me this episode was as much as about how they each were dealing with love loss/death as well as dealing with the lack of drinking water. Each character had a need for sustenance, spiritual and/or physical and Ramsey did a good job with the somber tones throughout. I really enjoyed the episode, and my favorite scenes were Maggie calling out Gabriel and shutting him down. The second was Rick and co. on the road just moseying along with the zombies behind them, because they all looked like the walking dead!

    Hey Guys,

     

    We at Skybound have teamed up with the Lopez Foundation for some TWD 109 CGC charity auctions. We were able to get Charlie Adlard, Khary Randolph and Matt Roberts each to do a sketch cover and all three to do a jam piece. Auctions are up for 10 days and all proceeds go to the Lopez Foundation.

     

    Hope you guys can take a look.

    These are really cool! I'll be bidding on the Adlard sketch just for fun. Would've been so cool if CGC identified on the label what these are for. I.e.- "Skybound George Lopez Foundation Charity Auction" or something like that.

    A lot of the premium formarts are between 18-26 inches.

     

    Throw in another inch or two for wiggle room.

     

    How much height are between the shleves on those cabinets? Gotta be at least 25 inches to fit 80% of the PF's. If not, don't see them as worth it.

     

    There is a little under 15 inches in each "cube". But you can remove shelves and make two that would be 30 each (give or take). This is for the IKEA shelves.

     

    Just be careful because I heard the glass, even if doubled up, might not be strong enough to hold a 35lbs. PF statue..They're that heavy!

     

    I thought I read somewhere a single glass shelf from the detolf had a max of 15lbs.

     

    Max load/shelf: 13 lbs

    I actually kind of dig it. People LOVE to pile onto Liefeld, but to me, that's actually pretty sweet.

     

    Also, I the WD Michonne statue has two swords, and no one batted an eye.

     

    It's def not the worst Liefeld art; in fact it isn't bad, I kinda like it and you're right, peeps are quick to pile on him, but I think there's enough reason to. lol

     

    Regarding the Michonne McFarlane statue, I remember a ton of fans griped about the fact she's holding two swords. I didn't care, particularly not after having read this from a Kirkman interview:

     

    “Michonne is a very cool character – she’s definitely the most action-oriented character from the series, and I really liked the idea of letting the McFarlane team run wild, and do their own take on Michonne, something that wasn’t necessarily completely accurate with the way Michonne exists – having two swords, and just going at it and doing something that’s a lot more over-the-top than what we usually do with 'The Walking Dead.' And they turned it into a really cool statue.”

     

    Kirkman probably hates the statue. I feel that he is in control way more than I think he is. If he makes people beleive he likes it then they sell.

     

    That cover is garbage. Rick looks like Cable, Michonne looks like Elektra, and Carl is the one shooting the ray gun, and they are all invading a gym, cause Carl scouted it out and saw that they had power bars still in the vending machines, hence the muscle bound zombies. :sick:
