Newb82 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Anyone else reading the comics? What did y'all think of #112? I LOVED it, and it looks like shit is hitting the fan and Kirkman is finally going to be finishing the Negan angle. I really can't wait to see Negan on the TV show. He's been a much more formitable "big bad" than The Governor, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time they get to his character, I can only hope that "fuck" will be an acceptable word on cable haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb82 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR now has a release date of 11/26. Hopefully this one sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Does anyone have either of the Walking Dead Compendiums? I got the first issue of the comic for free on an iPhone app and really liked it, was just curious as to whether the compendiums are presented as essentially one long story, or are broken up in to individual issues.

Newb82 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 The collection book I have that has 1-12 in it I believe does not have issue breaks. Not sure where it is or I'd look to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bink_winkleman Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I really don't like the Negan angle at all. It just feels like the same ol' shit. I guess the tiger LARP guy is kind of cool? I'm still reading out of habit, but the comic has been off the rails for years now. I'd really like for a big shift in the status quo, and by that I don't mean killing off characters, but a completely new type of setting. Put them at sea, or throw in a character that's figured out how to control the zombies, bring in a surviving foreign military, let the zombie virus adapt to infect animals, just anything to really switch up the book.

Newb82 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Well, I was dead wrong about the Negan storyline ending soon. Looks like we're in for 13 more issues, but a faster release schedule, since in the letter hacks column they say the 12 issue war between all the Saviors & everyone else will all be put out between October & next April.

Cliff Hanger Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have tried like five times to get further into the book than v4, but never do. At this point I've pretty much determined that it is not to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bink_winkleman Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This latest issue was atrocious and pointless, so I'm not sure why they're dragging the story out unless they're out of ideas and need more filler like this. I thought I'd finally quit reading, but Project Runway is back on the air and I need something whiskey-friendly to do while the lady is glued in front of Lifetime.

Newb82 Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 It's all setup for the war, and to establish a possible weak point for the Saviors when it gets going (that they have to empty an outpost when they do their supply runs), plus try to establish Rick & Andrea as a close relationship, probably to make it worse when she dies.

Newb82 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 I really liked issue #114 that came out today. Sets up nicely for the ALL OUT WAR arc. According to the letters column,the WAR issues are going to be released: 1 in October, 2 in November, 1 in December, then 2 every month from January through April until it's done. I'm looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb82 Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 I have to admit...the issue that came out yesterday (#115) isn't very good. Pretty much the definition of filler, with the exception of the ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb82 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 So it looks like Kirkman decided he wasn't getting enough hate mail, and decided to troll the religious right in the most recent issue (122). The character nicknamed "Jesus" is revealed to be gay. That his real name is Paul is icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurningBeard Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I fall in and out of collecting them. I got up to date with Trade #16 but now I'm waaaaaaaaay behind again. Truth is, there's other comics I'd rather be picking up these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingrsco Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Midway through the second compendium....I think instead of waiting for a third like I did between one and two I will start getting the TPB and work my way to issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both one long story. No breaks for issues,no covers reprinted. But worth it for the price. I got each for around $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newb82 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Just read the newest issue which finally ends the ALL OUT WAR/Negan storyline and...Kirkman is taking a HUGE risk with the way it ended. Not giving the readers the satisfaction of a violent, bloody death for Negan could be a recipe for disaster. I get what he's going for, but...

To me it just means he loves writing the Negan character and doesn't want to get rid of him. And Negan will probably get an inside person to help him breakout of jail and he will kill someone very soon to show Rick the error in his judgment, maybe Andrea or someone important will eat it.
