Wait for the invasion from the Alaska/Canada coalition. Think about it - relatively small, dispersed population over a large land mass with a cold winter, resources rich, and large number of military installations. Whatever roamers are not killed off by the wildlife would be easy pickings for the living population and/or they would freeze during winters up here. Based on that, the only logical next step will be for us Northerners to slowly expand south and gobble up territory due to our intact military and energy infrastructure. :sumo:

is it just me, or has this thread become 90% about OA? (no hate, just saying) it takes me a while to find discussions on the actual comic itself. anyways, i haven't read walking dead since issue 114. i've decided to wait until 126 comes out, then read it all at once.

I think you hit on the reason for minimal discussion in your own thread. IMO the world building is pretty complete. There isn't much to "think about;" at this point we're just along for the ride. You don't need to read each issue 2-3 times, so you can plow through 12 issues in one sitting with ease.

I know many folks who only read WD in trade format because the book reads so quickly. In terms of the storyline, what is there to talk about other than "that happened - I did or didn't see that coming!" To me, that is not a negative, it's just where we are in the life cycle of the book.

Now back to OA, someone please post something new they picked up...

 

Have always regretted not having an older 17 x 11 seeing as several were still on Splash when I first started looking. Still regret it considering the current competition for them has pushed them out of reach... with all due respect I hate you guys sometimes ;)

 

Can't recall which one I haven't posted before out of the original ones that I have. I know this one has been here already and I am exceptionally grateful that Jerry made it available.

CLICK FOR MUCH BIGGERERER

 

... as Jerry mentioned the first time this was posted the last 3 panels are stats but each stat has hand drawn zombies and a fleeing Tyreese on them. In the picture (particularly in the second panel) you can see the background is a shiny black and raised compared to the characters.

 

Here's a bit to read that won't have been posted before. I imagine that in 2006 this page started life in Shrewsbury when Charlie was drawing it before it was shipped off from the UK to Mark in the USA (I haven't asked Mark about this, just assuming). It was bought by the original owner the following year at SDCC in 2007 for $40! He was literally on his way out from SDCC to hail a cab and pretty much tapped out at the end of his time there. Mark's stand was en route to the exit from where he was and this was his last purchase of the day, luckily he stopped to take another last look and found a page where the price was right. Eventually it arrived half way across the USA in San Antonio but only about 4 hours South of Mark Hay / Splash Page... and there it lived... until 2013 when it took a trip to New York completing it's journey to the other side of the country.

 

It only stopped there for a few months and is now back in Blighty. I think I need to plant a tree to account for the carbon footprint guilt I am feeling holding it. Anyway, I'll get around to noting that all down on the back of the frame not this weekend but the one after. It was amusing to dig up the history on it (which didn't go that far back). I don't know if this link will work properly but HERE is the journey, you may have to zoom out.

 

This isn't the first time I have dug up the trail of things I have collected for me or others. The biggest journey by far was from factory to hand an original Counter Strike 1.6 mint in box via Valve HQ (to get signed by one of the creators) then over to one of my brothers in Germany that is a bit of an FPS nut.

 

 

:blahblah:

Here's a Norman Reedus pencil drawing I just finished...hope to get him to autograph it in New Orleans this weekend.

I agree with everyone, that is a fantastic job! I'm curious where you want him to sign it? My vote would be for a spot that won't distract from your rendering!!

Really hated that moment the first time around the last panel underlined it. I liked Tyreese and I think Rick's character works better when he has someone alongside who is also strong willed, independant and can act as a contrast at times (Shane / Tyreese / Abraham). Kirkman clearly had it in for us seeing as how he had recently brought Tyreese back from the dead (we all thought he was doomed in the gym) only to end it all like that.

 

Jesus is similar, but as mentioned before I just don't get his motivations and there is no real back story to him.

 

edit: @comickings definately what Court said. Brilliant work on that one and the Stan Lee.
