I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.

Kirkman had Charlie kill that other kid. Is that "children in refrigerators" syndrome? NO I'M SICK OF EVERY TIME A WOMAN SUFFERS MISFORTUNE IN COMIC BOOKS IT BEING LABELED AS MISOGYNY. Comic book fans suffer from severe tunnel vision and start to look for this stuff and it's really annoying. The last issue killed off a major male character, and his lover is going to be dealing with that in upcoming issues. OH NO MEN IN FRIDGES. :rolleyes: Basic principles of storytelling are somehow taboo in comics now. Ridiculous.

The treatment of children and men in comics is in no way similar to the treatment of females. If you really think it's as simple as that then you're missing the point entirely.

That said, the term, "Women in Refrigators" is so misused by now it's practically a joke.

Yes but in terms of this particular comic book I don't think it applies at all. It's not like there aren't plenty of male characters that have also died just to "add to" another character. It's a part of the book, that no one is safe at any time.

I think the main reason people complain about Walking Dead is the rape angle.

Don't read Crossed.

I've read it. It was poo poo, but not because of rape.
