Current current. I read somewhere they're going to be bi-monthly now too, which sucks! Need to confirm this though.

You guys need to catch up! I am bursting to talk about the end of issuue #94. Very exciting. They are so badass in the comic.

Robert Kirkman gives us Michonne's origin story in Playboy.

No, but... wow. How different would everything be? I don't think the group would have survived 94 issues without Rick. It would have imploded even if it survived readers leaving the series after that issue.

The art by Tony Moore is extremely detailed and oh so badass. The difference is pretty jarring but only at first. Charlie Adlar is THE man IMO. The grungy style of his is just perfect and I like to think of the Moore issues a sweet intro. By about the third book you won't even remember there was a different artist.

I just caught up on al the posts in the TV thread and decided I'm not even going to write in there. It's to do with a certain character that appeared briefly on the show.

I have to totally agree on the whole 'suspension of disbelief' issue. It feels way to early for michone to appear. The new character should be Tyreese and they should be saving her for later. That's my thoughts anyway. [/SPOILER:fce43a4b83]

Totally agree that eventually you'll forget all about there being a new artist. My brother is really into the show, and my girlfriend and I were telling him how awesome the comic is. He was really skeptical, and it took a lot of convincing, but he picked up the compendium earlier this week and can't stop raving about it.

This happens to every single person... except my wife. She just can't read comics. It's like she can't stop reading it like a book and she forgets to look at the pictures. I tried her on Y the Last Man too. Womp womp.

[SPOILER:085da96319]Do you guys think Carl killing zombie Shane not live Shane was just due to the story or that they skipped around it so a kid doesn't kill a man on TV. I'm really starting to wonder about how far they'll go. I know that the next seasson is ages away, but I wonder just how far they can take things like Michonne and the Governor. I doubt Rick will lose his hand either. They're also saying they will still be at the prison for season 4. I wonder how much is it due to the story telling or the convenience of budget.

Also, Andrew Lincoln brings me out of it too much. Instead of being enthralled in the story like in the comics I always make an over-acting joke when he has a monologue - like angry sherrif in Deadwood.

I'm going to dig out Season one and watch it again and re read the comics over the next few months. It sucks waiting for more Walking Dead!

We're at #100. Anyone all caught up?

EXTREME [SPOILER:e6df84972d] OMFG They killed Glen with a fucking barb-wire baseball bat and smashed his fucking head inside out! Fuck![/SPOILER:e6df84972d]

I'm not caught up. I'm going to try to pick up the last few issues today because my girlfriend read a spoiler, which is what I assume you've covered up, and she was terribly upset with herself.

Yeah, it's a pretty big thing (That's why I put EXTREME in front too), definitely read up first. The last arc has been quite interesting. Makes me optimistic about the next season of the TV show aswell.
