It's hilarious and worth a read!

Edit: They need to fit a Bruce Campbell type character in this series eventually, haha.

They need to fit a Bruce Campbell Character in true.

But not The badass we all remember. The cowardly guy who as Bruce himself in the commentary for Evil Dead said. "So your watching the movie and your thinking this noble handsome charming guy is our hero. Then he get's killed and all thats left is me and your thinking 'Aww man this guys the hero?'. "

Is that some kind of double standard for the Walking Dead fans?

Of course they'll cross the line. The original comics series has crossed so many, it's hard to even think of another line it could cross!

He's not getting a free pass... not really. Robert Kirkman seems to have gotten a lot of hate mail over the years for his comic, judging by his letters column at the end of each issue. He's apparently been called out for being a racist (against black, hispanic, and amusingly enough white people), misogynist, and religion-basher... homophobe will probably follow once he's killed off the only gay couple in the comics.

That'd be friggin' hilarious.

Especially since it'd come out as "WRBGLRBL MRGBLERBGHL?", given Larry's condition.

Yes, he does - and that unfortunately invalidates the letter, which was obviously meant as a jab because the actor implies Kirkman puts him out of work. This kind of rage you get for real on this forum.

That's deplorable, because this is the criticism he doesn't deserve - indeed not what I meant here! The Walking Dead comic customers seem to be fairly content with a decade long storyline that follows a boring new guys arrive/someone gets killed repetition without any ending in sight. Or at least "got used to it".

What I meant was, from the letters column, it seemed as a result of what happens to the readers' favourite characters. Michonne getting raped/Glenn dying/Carl getting shot in the eye or whenever X character gets killed off it results in fans raging over it.

Not a fan, huh? Lol

I don't think the majority of the ragers on this forum are Walking Dead Fans. I think crossing genres from comic books, to TV, to game, has drawn a whole different fanbase who may not be quite as desensitized as the more weathered comic book fans.

[Master of Aeons]

I'm a fan of the first arc to the middle of the prison arc. The story ends for me at "WE are the WALKING DEAD!" Sure it goes on, and there's some cool stuff, but it peaks there and should have stopped.

Relax, they're nothing alike anymore. The TV show is only related to the comic in broad strokes. And if you highlighted the spoilers, we are not to blame.

yeah, i saw the tv show before the comic, and there were a lot of things that are different, obviously the one you see first will have the most surprises, but it wont totally ruin the other one, and there will still be surprises as well

The eighties and nineties marvel comics were fairly repetitious and people kept buying them.

It's the spoiler forum. Although there could still be some warning about it when non-game material is concerned...

I'd guess thats because people don't find the comic books in the stores or don't even know TWD started as a comic before the show and the game

Not gonna lie Milo, I'd squeal like a little girl if he ever ended up making Bill Murray/Zombieland cameo (I'm aware that this will never happen ). Evil Dead 2 was one of my favorite movies of all time.
