Next season, I really hope they adapt the issue where Carl visits the Saviour's base, not only because its a great issue, but so they can do Negan's 'you won't believe what I did to your son!' as a cliffhanger, only to have him pull the 'Look, I did nothing to your son as the start of the next episode.

I'm wondering if the Miltia will have to decide if they're willing to use muck infected blades on the Whisperers. It'd give them an advantage, but I think one hit blood poisoning would be something Rick would see as unfair an immoral.

The Whisperers are dangerous because they could surround themselves with thousands of real Walkers, trying to attack them with poisoned swords seems a bit useless. Then again, this is a comic where a pet tiger was brought to several gun fights.

Well they've already said they've filmed several of his scenes twice. Once with safe for TV language and once with the Negan potty mouth we all know and love. You'll of course need to purchase the Blu ray when it comes out to see that other version. Which is a pretty cool incentive to do so. I would assume the Netflix version will be the safe for TV version. G-Whizard fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jul 2, 2016 |

How many fucks per season does AMC give? I think BCS got two last season.

The Ninth Layer posted:How many fucks per season does AMC give? I think BCS got two last season. For some reason Walking Dead never uses theirs. They should just do it like Mr. Robot does and use it often but just blur it out or whatever. It's seriously unrealistic that characters never say gently caress.

I'm pretty sure the censors have a ratio for how many bleeped fucks ad up to a single un-bleeped gently caress, like it makes no sense that shows don't just go bleep crazy otherwise.

That was a great issue. I'm pretty sure I'd be one hundred percent fine with another Prison like culling and the next hundred issues are Negan and Carl roaming the land.

I'm actually enjoying "ethical" Negan now. He's convinced that he's a good guy (and sometimes he actually is) but he's still the monstrous rear end in a top hat we first met. He's like a good Twilight Zone villain when he's at his best - he'll steal your things, but only after you've agreed (under duress) to let him. There's a lot of room to explore agency and free will there, but I don't think Kirkman's quite up to the job yet.

I finally just started reading the trades maybe a week ago or so. Currently starting Volume 14 and drat, I wish the AMC show was as good as these books. [edit] And now I'm all caught up. Negan is the best. teagone fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Sep 7, 2016 |

With the Saviors leadership in limbo, I wonder if Negan is going to take back what is rightfully his. Coalition forces comprised of Alexandrians and Saviors uniting against the Whisperers would be rad.

When Negan was trying to excuse himself for taking Dwight's wife and portray his actions as doing a favor why wasn't the fact that Negan also probably joyfully ironed half of Dwights face off brought up? People have to stay civil despite c*ucking all the time but being civil with a dude who tortured and facially mutilated you seems insane? Also when Negan becomes celebrated war hero, leader and asset to the allied forces is Maggie going to be all cool with it?

Eh, both Kirkman and the show seem to have the same issue of 'Hello, I'm a generally unused character, I'd like to be important now. Whoops, I died!' Non-spoiler examples (since they came out long enough ago) from the comics being Allen and Billy in the prison arc. More recent arcs, (spoilering just in case people aren't caught up on All Out War, or the current plot) Nicholas, Eric, Rosita, and most recently Gabriel. Seriously, 'I want to learn how to fight' *Procedes to panic, fall off guard tower, get stabbed and eaten*

LadyPictureShow posted:Eh, both Kirkman and the show seem to have the same issue of 'Hello, I'm a generally unused character, I'd like to be important now. Whoops, I died!' It's a little frustrating in that it's such an easy thing to fix. Like, just write the character development stuff for your characters anyway regardless of whether they're dying soon or not. Then, if and when the time comes for a character to die, the legwork is done, and the dramatic death scene is already earned. No need to shoehorn last-minute character development in now! I mean, it sounds so obvious I don't understand why he doesn't; he's proven he can do character development - because he does it every time someone is about to die! Kirkman, why you no do the simple thing I just described, that people have been saying you should do for years and makes perfect sense and would improve your stories immensely? Why?

Cactus posted:It's a little frustrating in that it's such an easy thing to fix. In both the comic and the TV show, one way it was done pretty well was with the character of Jim. It's early on enough that even though he doesn't say much, you know the guy is damaged for some reason. Sure, you only really get the gist of why right around the time he gets bitten, but it's still kind of a gut-punch when he's like 'nah, just leave me here to turn, maybe I'll find my family again'. As both go on, you get things like 'Oh, Billy's our second best shot!' to shoehorn him into a big role in the prison battle before he's a 'gently caress everything' moment for Hershel, or in the show, like Axel just chills out in the background, finally starts opening up to Carol, them boom, headshot. At least the comics don't really have the trend of after a character dies, other characters are suddenly like 'Wow, I wish so-and-so with no screen time hadn't died. He was the greatest. Please viewers, be convinced there was some gravity to his demise, and that you should give a plop that they're gone'.

Haha, even with your description I still can't for the life of me remember who Jimmy is. I guess that's a side effect of how long it takes for comics to come out. Incidentally - and this wasn't originally intended as a snarky troll-bait question, more of a "why are comics the way they are?" thing - why exactly does it take so long for these (or any) comics to come out? Especially these ones which aren't even loving coloured in. It's about 20-30 pages of lovely drawings and about a side of A4 or two's worth of written content. Why does it take a loving month or two for one of these to get done? When you look at the end result it isn't anything that can't be knocked out in a couple of days tops if minds were put to the task.* Ok maybe an amount of snark was intended there, granted. But still, wha'tha gently caress? I saw the latest issue was the first of a 6-parter. Guess I'll be back in a year or so when that's done to read it in an otherwise boring half-hour... *This was your latest "guy who knows gently caress all about the medium who watches the lovely tv show comes windmilling in here asking the same loving questions everyone who dips their feet into comics asks" post. It was mostly posted in good faith though because I genuinely want to know the source of this frustration I'm feeling.

It takes time to ship books to the printer, have the pages run off, have them stapled together, and then shipped all over the country. The bare-minimum turnaround time for a printed item is about a month, if everything goes exactly right.

Well, Jim went out when Tony Moore was still the artist, so I don't blame you for forgetting. Got bit when zombies swarmed the original camp. Wanderer's right about publishing time and all, but I also guess Adlard and Kirkman have to touch base to see if anyone needs to be killed off/disfigured to keep some of his characters from looking completely loving identical.

Does Rick still have the hatchet he took from the barn at the start of the series? He used it a lot in the first half of the series, but I don't remember him losing it or it getting broken at any point.

I think then he used it right before the fishing ship came in, thats the only time he fought, confronting alpha didn't involve him fighting.
