The Walking Dead - comic

[Sweet Rabbit]

Yeah I saw that. Makes me want to try to buy up the comic line, but I know the first few series are expensive now aren't they? The show figures look crappy, but I think the comic versions are pretty spot on. Negan looks great.

They're retarded expensive

I'm getting tempted though

I'm in enough friggin lines as it as. And the Governor in Riot Gear SDCC exclusive keeps giving me the itch to buy it

No, there is only 2 series of comic figures released so far. Series 2 is still widely available - many of them on Amazon for $10 or so.

Series 1 is the only one no longer available and last I checked, its prices were nowhere near what TV series 1 is going for. You only have Rick, Michonne, and 2 walkers to catch up on there. And Rick and Michonne had a few variants (SDCC Michonne with hood and blood, NYCC Rick with blood) which makes finding one cheaper a bit easier.

The SDCC Gov rocks BTW. Can't wait for Negan to arrive - this week hopefully.



And as a Mod executive decision - keep TV Show spoilers out for at least a week (until it becomes common knowledge). And by TV show spoilers I mean anything that happens differently on the show than in the comic. Since Tyreese didn't lose his head to the Governor this week who did should be used in spoiler tags or not mentioned at all.

Thanks for making a fair decision guys

Which do you own, TV or Comic or both? Would you recommend one over the other? The Comic line seems like a better quality line, but the TV line has more characters.

Let's just start a comic private group or at least start our own comic discussion in the current TWD group.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Might be good. I need to be invited into that thing. Mister Ski runs it right?

I own both. I don't care for the Black and White figures so I've skipped those, but I've got all of the color ones from both series. I initially passed on comic series 1 and TV series 1 because TV series 1 was really crappy. But when series 2 hit, I was impressed. I was lucky and able to pick up most of series 1 at retail prices. I managed to get a loose set of Daryl's squirrels on ebay so my 2 pack version is no different from the single carded one now

If you like both the show and the comic, get both lines. Otherwise, get what you want. There are some great figures in both lines and some crappy figures in both lines.

And as of right now, there is no news on a new comic series. But the fact they just made Negan makes me think they aren't done with it yet despite it coming out much slower than the TV figures. Now that we've had the midseason finale I'm hoping to see final sculpt pics of series 5 TV figures soon with the line up for 6 revealed. Probably have to wait until Toy Fair for pics of the new figures though - probably series 3 of the comic line revealed there too.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Yeah I know what you mean about series 1, of both lines. I saw them in a comic shop and I was like yuck. I really like SDCC Michonne with her cloak. I really hope they pursue more of the comic figures like Tyreese and Abraham. If I can get both the Comic and TV lines without getting raped, I'll do it.

Good idea, BM, and I agree 100%.

Read #118... should've known Kirkman would kill her off.

 

[Buttmunch]

Figured it would happen, but its also possible she isn't dead as we only saw her surrounded by zombies.

Accidentally saw this post and I thought it was for Andrea. Even though it's a weird gimmick, I wouldn't want her dead. My whole love for animals

Yeah I'm bad.

With McFarlane making deluxe figures for their 5" line (Daryl w/ Bike) it would be great to see Ezekiel w/Shiva.

 

[Buttmunch]

Oh for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if Ezekiel is in the next batch of comic figures. I would think they'd want to capitalize on All out War as much as possible right now. Doing the Governor wave last year made sense because the Governor was the big bad on the show currently. But now that the show is going in a new direction, I would think they'd want to cross promote their big comic event. McFarlane owns Image afterall, so not only was getting TWD figure license a given, using them to promote the comic and vise versa should be a priority for them.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Just caught up on the last two issues. This arc should be titled "All Out Snooze-fest."

 

[pixletwin]

Totally agree. The last 3 issues have been total snoozers.

 

[Snake Plissken]

How the hell he's going to drag this story for 180 more issues is beyond me. And Negan's dialogue is outright ridiculous Kirkman is trying to top every one liner after another.

 

[Fritz]

I'm only up to #114. Waiting until March for Vol.20 to come out. So you're saying I'm not missing much?
