If anyone needs something to fill the gap between now and 75/the tv series, some people put together a zombie audio serial. It is better done than you might expect but its production is still a bit rough compared to professional radio dramas. Especially when it comes to the music, it is overused and generally too loud. Sound effects could have used a bit of leveling too. Still, it is about 3.5 hours or so of something people in this thread might be interested in. They live in a jail. EDIT: Actually, this is pretty crap. I made the post after listening to most of the first episode and it really drops off from there.

I gotta give him credit for the epilogue, too clever by half, Kirkman. That was really funny.

Maybe when we get to issue 100 we can see a continuation of the epilogue. I need to see Carl murder some creepy alien kids!

I know that kirkman is never going to go into how the zombies came to be but personally I've been dying to know. I am more then willing to accept alien plot to take over the world. It's cannon to me now!

If that epilogue did anything, it showed me how amazing this book could have been with an artist who handles detail well. I mean, I know it's not fair to compare anyone to Cory Walker when it comes to explicit gore, but compare some of the epilogue pages to the scene of that guy getting torn apart earlier in the same issue. The quality difference is like night and day.

People at Comic-Con are saying the Walking Dead sizzle reel they showed is insane. Bear McCreary (from BSG) is doing the soundtrack. Robert Kirkman writes episode 4.

Buddington posted:Do you mean the actual plot of the issue or did you do what my girlfriend did and mistake the backup joke story for the ending? I let her read it first and towards the end she kept saying "What the gently caress?! What is going on?" and it was really hilarious when I read it and realized what happened. Otherwise the only thing I can think of that would be considered "loving weird" is Michonne not backing Rick up or Rick's extreme reaction to Pete possibly/probably beating his family, even though his whole monologue about killing one's family makes it pretty obvious he's acting crazy because he's got issues about Lori and his baby daughter dying. I really hope Kirkman resolves this by Rick calming the gently caress down some, rather than getting kicked out of the camp or whatever. He's said and done dumb poo poo before ("You kill, you die!"), but he's always been fundamentally logical. It'd really annoy me if his issues really spelled the downfall of his group or whatever. There are so many more interesting potential conflicts to explore in this new setting, and it'd be a shame if Rick's crazy just ruined it all. The epilogue was loving awesome, though.

Rick going insane was a little weird. I still thought that he had a valid point. That woman was going through hell and I can see his point about how it is naive to expect the doctor's bullshit to be limited to his family. Also, it's very fair for Rick to be incredibly pissed off at a guy that got to keep his wife and treats her like poo poo.

I actually kind of agree with the end result that was Rick's freakout (what with him obviously comparing it to losing his own wife and child), I just thought that the pacing of that whole scene could have been better. Rick should have at least tried to talk the guy down a bit before going into "punch you in the face" mode.

I have a strong feeling that Abraham's absence this issue was no coincidence, and that he is going to side with Rick. I also think we are finally going to find out the dirty secret of the towns past soon. Given everything that's taken place so far, I don't think anything would surprise me (Rick's death being the only exception). Question - When Glenn said the zombies were acting differently, that was just due the guys being holed up inside the store, right?

I don't think that anyone at the town would agree to accept people who sacrifice someone to the horde just to save themselves. Instead of I don't know, climbing to a roof and finding a way out there.

It really is good and seems to have good production values, not too amateurish.

I went to http://feeds.feedburner.com/itpc/wwwwaylandws/Wayland_Productions/Were_Alive_-_Podcast/rssxml (the feedburner link) and just did the old right click and Save As thing. Definately way way better than the one I found, in story, acting and production values. Still overuses music but it doesn't really get in the way of the story so it doesn't really matter. Does a couple new things, seems to copy many more, but I like it well enough that I will tune in next month when the new episode comes out.

I'm new to the thread and The Walking Dead. Digested it all up to current in a few days. It's been a lot of fun. Anyway,enigmahfc posted:I actually kind of agree with the end result that was Rick's freakout (what with him obviously comparing it to losing his own wife and child), I just thought that the pacing of that whole scene could have been better. Rick should have at least tried to talk the guy down a bit before going into "punch you in the face" mode. I totally agree about the pacing. Obviously a switch flips inside of Rick, but there's no point where we see that happen, and we more or less see him the whole time leading up to his attack. I mean, even a crazy phone conversation with Lori would have clarified how his anger boiled over into all out rage.

You'd probably have to be really careful not to get any zombie gunk on any open cuts or orifices, and it's got to smell like absolute rotten poo poo, no matter what kind of breathing apparatus you have on. The cons are probably greater than the pros.

Yeah but zombie fluids are still a very lethal pathogen. It's why a bite is still a death sentence.

I didn't want to go through the thread cause I saw the first post had a bunch of unmarked spoilers.  It started out with a police chase that ended in one dude getting shot, then he woke up in a hospital and stuff. Some black guy had to shoot his zombie wife and the cop guy was crawling underneath a tank or something.
