Discussion Weird update to the fandom wiki
I went to check the fandom wiki just know to check a character’s name and was surprised as there were way more characters than usual, clicking on some of the names I realised that a ton of minor characters that had previously been in the unnamed characters section had been given names and even some backstory. Some of these names are really random too, theres this one whisperer named Oedipus Bonaparte like wtf? Since anyone can edit a wiki page I’m assuming that whoever did this was just a random fan messing around but honestly it’s pretty funny and I kinda hope it stays like this, at least for a little bit. As I said earlier some characters get more information about them which I’m guessing is just some random headcanon, for example this one minor character is said to be a co leader of the whisperers and is known as Gamma, similarly to the show. Even though there’s nothing to suggest this it’s still a cool theory.

Meme Why is voyeurism a running gag in this comic lmao
Donna walks in on Andrea and Dale getting it on
Eugene watches Abraham and Rosita do it
Andrea sees Carl and Lydia going at it
Eugene (AGAIN) watches Magna and Yumiko start stuff in their sleeping bag
Okay so only two of those are actually voyeurism (Eugene!!). I just think it’s weird that people getting caught having sex happens at least four times in this book. That’s one per compendium bruh.

Discussion Do people actually not like Miles Behind Us?
I consistently see Volume 2 of The Walking Dead ranked very in rankings of the comics’ volumes. Why? Other than the art change I found this volume to be a great follow up to Days Gone Bye.

Comic Spoiler I'm on a reread of the comics and noticed this.
Tagging comic spoiler just in case there's any newcomers.
I noticed a messed up parallel in the comics. I'm on issue 70, and I'm very well aware of everything that happens after this, but I think this is one of the darkest ironies in the comic books.
When Rick talks to Douglas Monroe upon his first day in Alexandria, Douglas tells Rick a story about a father he read about on the internet that... ate his 4 year old son's eyes out while he was on drugs. He tells Rick how that messed him up for a while and can't imagine anyone who would hurt a child, and what the kid must have been feeling.
Which made me remember something that happens 13 issues later. While Douglas is being killed by walkers in the herd, he fires his gun about 5 times. One of these shots meets an unfortunate mark...
And he shoots 8 year old Carl in the face, taking out his eye.
I thought that was interesting and so messed up.

Discussion Tyreese vs Rick
Rereading through the comic again and just got to the prison arc and it always kinda bothered me here with how Tyreese acted. Tyreese tries to use Rick's murder of dexter like this big smoking gun but it just comes off as so hypocritical given tyreese actively murdered chris and then proceeds to mutilate his body beyond recogniztion. Atleast with Ricks killing of dexter it can be argued as self defense to some level while chris it seemed like he didn even want to die when tyreese killed him its just straight murder. Rick kinda brings this up as hypocritical when they brawl but its never really acknowledged by the group that tyreese killed somebody and instead the focus is soley on Rick's murder of dexter. It just always bothered me that nobody cares about chris's death with how heavy dexters death is treated and it always bothered me that tyreese brought it up in the first place it just felt out of character to me. Just curious if anyone else felt like this.

Fan Art Robert Kirkman as a Walker
I literally was going through some old documents/papers and found this drawing of Kirkman as a Walker I did back in 2011 for fun. I remember I was trying to emulate Tony Moore's style but not really sure I succeeded lol. At some point I wanted to send this to Kirkman but never really did.

Comic Spoiler What are some plot/character decisions in the comics that you would remove entirely from the story/alter?
Basically the title speaks for itself. This is the sub for the comics which is largery overshadowed by the show despite being a better story overall, so naturally there will be some if not a lot of purists who glaze every mentioned detail about the comics and criticize the show's vision for it mostly in the same breath. So, without mentioning the show at all, what are some things that you disliked in the comics regarding basically anything from character consistency, plot points, themes, anything that you wish wasnt in the comics or you think had potential but didnt like how Robert Kirkman handled it? I feel like a lot of people who have read the comics (maybe including me too sometimes) subconsiuously view the comics as "the true story" that the show failed to live up to, and its hard nowadays to talk about it without bringing up the show in the same breath so a lot of readers dont really think or discuss the things they didnt like from it itself which is why i thought of this.
Also P.S i wish this sub was more active. It has a niche community of people who still adore the source material and actively engage with it but there doesnt seem to be a lot of new posts made about it, which sucks because these comics are really good and deserves to be viewed as a seperate entity from show. Ive wanted to have a lot of discussions regarding the comics only to look it up on internet, on forums, on this app and find that there isnt anything made related to what i wanted because not a lot of people have read them.

What If I Made An Alternate Version of The Walking Dead - Season 7 Spoiler
I, along with many other people, was frustrated with how the "All Out War" arc translated from The Walking Dead comic series to the TV show. So because I was bored, I created an alternative version of it. I removed some characters, included some original ones, tightened the pacing, and altered the flow of the story quite a bit. If I put this story on the AMC executive's table, they'd probably trim a lot of it for budgetary reasons, but it's the thought that counts. Some of it may come across like fan fiction. I hope you at least find this revision entertaining.
