Walking Dead has a strange place in my heart. I get each trade as soon as it comes out, read it immediately, and then put it on the shelf knowing I'll never pick it up for some lite reading, and never pick it up again. It's really like rubbernecking at an accident; I need to know how well or badly the characters are doing. It is, no question, my most anticipated and least re-read comic.Jack Skeleton posted:It's such a blue ball creating comic as a monthly read, but if you pick it up in trade form, Oh man, That's when it's awesome.

There's no reason to trust Dr. Mullet, but I'm hoping there's some change at DC. Over the past 5 years, it's getting a bit tough to keep "life has become poo poo" fresh. It was interesting seeing how Rick + Co interacted with Abe + Co, and I'd be really interested in seeing them interact with people who haven't really been in the poo poo. Sort of a 'back from Iraq' scenario.

Humanity should start to rebuild at some point, tho. Thinking back, there've been 2 winters in Walking Dead? 3?

So about the zombies: There are definitely different types of zombie. Every group we've seen has divided the zombies into two categories. They've gone by different names, but I think they're all just zombies that sit around until woken up by someone, and the zombies that wander all the time. Then, in the last TPB, Dr. Mullet pointed out a zombie that was just sitting around, and too lifeless to even get up. Zombies seem to tend to herd together, never attack each other, are attracted to noises and seem to have some basic communication. In the first book, Glenn and Rick managed to wander freely in town by making themselves smell like zombies. Michonne did something similar by having two mouthless zombies wander around with her. Zombie bites are pretty quickly fatal, unless the bitten part is chopped off. I'm going off memory here, anything I'm missing\wrong on? I don't know if Kirkman has an exact Zombie ecosystem figured out, but I'm pretty sure he's working off some guidelines.

Aussie Crawl posted:Just once i'd like to see a Zombie story throw a massive curl-ball and have a community establish itself for reasons of survival, community and mutual protection without some kind of horrible secret or hosed up perversion or quirk. World War Z talks about re-establishing civilization. So does Shaun of the Dead, in its own way.

Drunkboxer posted:So Kirkman's zombies will rot but will never die right? Wouldn't they just turn into skeletons eventually? I think Kirkman's got some kind of ecology sketched out. We have seen at least one apparently intact zombie incapable of doing much besides sitting around and moaning. I forget, you have to be bitten to become a zombie, right? They found that out in the prison arc.

Trivial Fursuit posted:No, the bite "just" kills. It's something else that reanimates people (as evidenced by Dale or whathisface) standing up again. That part was pretty intense.

TPB 13 just came out a week or 2 ago. I'm not sure, but I think the Compendium ends with TPB 4
