WD would do well to focus more on the core theme of the series...survival in a post-apocalyptic world

 

Wasn't that more the "year one" theme though? Obviously it's still relevant, but there's a definite thematic shift towards society building now.

 

The majority of the characters now are experienced survivors - see how rarely people are getting killed by zombies (I can't remember which issue the last zombie death was in).

 

Also no sure what you mean by "would do well" to - the series is more popular now than it's ever been!

Arrrgh Zombies --> Arrrgh Shane --> Arrrgh Zombies --> Arrgh Prisoners --> Arrrgh Governor --> Arrrgh Zombies --> Arrrgh Hunters ---> Arrrgh Zombies --> Arrrgh Bandits --> Arrrgh Zombies .... wait a minute we are actually realising the zombies are not so much of a threat and we are generally stronger (especially armed) --> Arrrgh Negan --> Sudden prospect of a lot of ammo?

 

 

Granted you can't really do it justice by boiling it down like that. It's difficult to see where else this is going. If anything happens to Andrea then is that a similar plot to where things went with Lori?

 

Also there doesn't seem to be much reason to leave Alexandria or Hilltop if Negan bites the big one.

 

Would like to see a traitor in the midst scenario happen or perhaps Negan thinking he has to deal with Rick and dumping him somewhere left for dead. Getting seperated from the group like that would be a nice direction... then recovering and building up to a Rocky like comeback!

do well meaning would draw me back into it :insane:

 

...would love to see a society getting built already...less negan ..more rebuilding...more of a focus on life after the zombies..would love to see WD focus more on exploring the rest of the map?...more missions on discovering other (FRIENDLY) groups..

 

or maybe WD needs a more serious spin-off :)

I like the WD story and i'm all in for where it goes from here.

 

I think the book peaked the first 50 issues but it was still enjoyable. I've never stayed with a run like this so I can't bash it. I've always been a superhero guy and those stories were mostly formula. Not one continuous story.

 

Negan i'm not overly impressed with but I have to believe there is much much more to this situation they are in now. The twists are coming I feel.

I agree with you a 100% everything you just said sits true for me. Yes I am new to reading long term comics, I have read some in the past and have read some graphic novels here and there but never a full run comic story. I love the story and Rob gets me every time. Just when I think something is gonna happen I get thrown for a loop. Negan is not my favorite, he's grown on me very little though. I will always root for Rick he fuc*king kicks as*......And now I'm rooting for Carl. Something big is about to happen.
