Yeah, I doubt it, but we may look back on the series and the pet tiger may be the jump the shark moment. Unless he kills it next issue. That would be a Kirkmanny thing to do.

Although, for some reason I kinda feel like they are going to turn to Ezequiel for help and it turns out he is just as bad, if not worse, than Negan.

Re: The Walking Dead
It immediately sets off a red flag in my mind that the guy wants to assert himself as the community leader with the title of 'King', and apparently seems to take it all a little too seriously. Isn't this the guy that has been mentioned by others in hushed tones ever since Rick & Co. first arrived in this part of the world?nutflush76 wrote:I don't know, it's not any weirder than pet Zombies.400yrs wrote:xodacia81 wrote:

Seems to me that the overall theme of the book is turning into a character study of the kind of personality types that become leaders of the survivors...

Re: The Walking Dead
I think it's more of a contrast between Rick and the villains. Rick, even though he has done his fair share of questionable things, is still the town sheriff, who takes care of everyone he can. The villains are the polar opposite. They only have their people for their own gain and they have fully given into the insanity of a world overrun by zombies. Rick had a brush with that with the phone episode, but he has never totally given in to the insanity of the situation.grendeljd wrote:It immediately sets off a red flag in my mind that the guy wants to assert himself as the community leader with the title of 'King', and apparently seems to take it all a little too seriously.

I also think it's really pretty hard to come up with many different villains considering the world that he is in. but he needs to make them as horrible as possible in order for them to be more of a threat than the zombies.

Re: The Walking Dead
If that were to be an element in the books, great, but I lost faith in Kirkman to be able to do such writing. When? I don't know...maybe around issue 100.grendeljd wrote:It immediately sets off a red flag in my mind that the guy wants to assert himself as the community leader with the title of 'King', and apparently seems to take it all a little too seriously.

Re: The Walking Dead
I think the writing in the tv show is far worse - not sure how much of it is Kirkman's.xodacia81 wrote:If that were to be an element in the books, great, but I lost faith in Kirkman to be able to do such writing.

Re: The Walking Dead
Has anyone read #144 yet? Maybe not as epic and shocking as the end of prison arc but it's pretty huge.
Re: The Walking Dead
Yeah the last 3 pages had my jaw dropping. Since the time jump the series has been slow. I knew it was just building up to something. Now I see what that was.iggy101us wrote:Has anyone read #144 yet? Maybe not as epic and shocking as the end of prison arc but it's pretty huge.

Re: The Walking Dead
I was honestly expecting it to be even worse with the deaths at the end - even though it was being telegraphed to worry more about Michonne & Andrea etc.. Still, that was a pretty intense ending!
