The Official The Walking Dead Discussion Thread 13 13

[Garf]

My first published Walking Dead art arrived yesterday! Next I'm hunting for a nice Negan page.

 

 

Nice pick! Lots of good groups hots and lots of Rick. If you wanted to start with something that has most of what a fan could want out of a page then you did just that.

 

Did pretty similar thing myself with the second page I got. Essentially a decidedly average page with just talking heads... Just plenty of characters

The cast in TWD for me is divided up into 1-48, 49-100 & now 101-126... Then who knows beyond that point.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Nice group shot OA you got. Congrats!! And WTTB !!

So just story question, does it strike anyone else as odd that somehow Rick isn't sick? It seems awfully convenient.

I always thought maybe Rick is affected differently by the virus - that maybe it gives him the "ever living" aspect without killing him. Maybe far fetched but he survived the hospital in the beginning, his hand and now possibly having been infected. Maybe even Carl and Judith also have this reaction to the virus which is how Carl survived the shot and how maybe Judith survived Lori's death (and maybe on the cover of 127?). If this theory is true then only a head shot could kill the Grimes family (if Judith did die it's because she was Shane's ). Edited April 20, 2014 by Carl Elvis

Thanks, that's a nice page you have as well! I agree with the cast issues, when I choose this page I figured this was probably the last time they would all be in the same scene together.

Wow.. honestly, I f'n love this theory!

 

Seems a little bit too 'unrealistic' for The Walking Dead though..

(Yes, I realize that the book is about the dead coming back to life, and to think that anything could be 'unrealistic' is just ridiculous)

Am I missing something here...? I thought it was pretty obvious that Dwight shot Rick with a clean arrow. THAT is why he is not infected.

The Hooded Utilitarian is an offshoot blog of THE COMICS JOURNAL for writers who are too brainy for TCJ. Generally speaking. Here's a recent piece on the TWD TV show:

Followed by this (polite) rebuttal:

Good stuff.

You're trying to find logic in a comic about a Zombie Apocalypse. Why does any hero survive against insurmountable odds....

, thanks! Yeah I know what you mean about the unrealistic part, the book isn't the type to start handing out any kind of "powers".

Is it Wednesday yet? I want to see how this war ends!

Me too. But I am treading lightly here, cause I know between today and Wednesday morning someone will read it and post a spoiler and I can't be apart of that. So there might not be to much said from me in this thread until after I have read it.

 

[Awax]

Good idea.

 

I'm a sucker though. I might

I'm going to try and remain spoiler free as well.
