So who watched the first episode? Thoughts? I really liked it a lot. Too bad I forget most of what happened in the comic book. My favorite character has to be Cassidy, the vampire. Also really thought that fight in the car in the cornfield (JH was probably so upset over all that lost corn. Lets pray that was a CGI cornfield) was pretty bad ass.
Yea I may have to pick up the comics again for a refresh on how close everything was. I didn’t know or forgot if Tulip was a badass. I knew she was tough but damn. And I think JH cried over that scene and is writing in his will that’s how he wants to go.
Finally watched it on an AMC app, this show is my thing. Love the humor as well. “Tom Cruise Exploded”. Writing seems good, actors are alright. Know nothing of the comics so it’s all fresh to me.
FYI, a little info on the comics, I picked them up again to read thru as I needed a refresher. I have read them twice now and always find something new that I must’ve glossed over before.
There are 66 books and a bunch of other stories that are available. The books started in '95 I think and are about 35-40 drawn pages. They are a bit longer than the comics now, where walking dead is usually around 25 drawn pages. The artwork is a bit dated but that is also part of the mystique.
I enjoy the books and there are a few differences so far between them and the show. I think it makes the show better and I’m glad that the differences exist.
I have read the books, and I’m rereading them now. That being said, I’m confused on parts and what is going on. I think they are getting a baseline down and it’s their way of bringing backstory to the characters but doing it in a fucked up way. All of this is good, especially for those of us who have read the books as its a fresh take.
