Dark One

Soun may be able to cry crocodile tears at the drop of a hat, is a coward, and lives in fear of the Shrunken Master, but anyone seeing someone looking like that guy is gonna say, "Run. Just run. Run hard, run fast, and don't look back at the axe murderer!".

That's his pigtail? Thought it was part of his shirt.

I do believe it was my first one. Regardless of whether it was my first or not, I have not gotten any tokens beyond my initial 37, iirc.

He also played Trickster in the JLU (or was it just JL?) cartoon. "Got me again, Flash!", one of my favorite lines in the series.

SPOILERS!!!!

















As of volume 14, I cannot recall anything specifically calling it supernatural. The best that was shown was the fact that people who had died of "natural" causes still came back as zombies, despite not being bitten. In other words, the bites may accelerate your dying, but they aren't what's bringing them back.

How this plays into the show? *shrug*

I would liken it less as to instinct and more along the lines of muscle memory. Though you could probably make 'em somewhat synonomous (sic) with each other.

However, what comes next (from appearances anyway) is from the comics. Carl getting shot was also in there and was a pretty significant point for what came after. Though the deer wasn't present.

It's not so much that, but rather the smell. I've gutted plenty a deer over the years, and while they might not smell the greatest when you open 'em up, the stench can be pretty bad if the intestines have been cut or shot. It also makes (in this case) it harder to pull the stomach and its contents out if they've been ripped to hell by Mr. Lizzie Borden there.

That, and we're missing the twins and their parents, which later on is a decent enough plot point. The Hispanics weren't in the comics, nor is Darryl/Dale/whatever his name is. They've also passed up Wiltshire Estates and that whole bit with Sophia running off is also new.

Page 321. It says Jeebus. That can't be right, can it?

Yes, get to the stomach. But the way he was hacking through that belly, there wouldn't have been anything left. Or at the very least, the relatively intact gut bag that Rick went rummaging through. It's a thin flap of skin, it didn't require the overhead smashing that he was doing. If he were going through the sternum/rib cage, then yes, those overhand smashes would be necessary.

Oh, the comics are still entirely necessary. Carl getting shot was right on par, though not with the deer being there. They are playing fast and loose with it, but the overall broad strokes are still there.

See...those of who have read the comics "know" what's coming, in broad terms. We might not know exactly how/when/what they are doing with the show, but those previews are pretty much what happened in the comics.

How far could that herd have gotten? Shamblers aren't exactly known for speed. Though granted, they do have redonkulous stamina, so they could keep going for a while. But that also begs the question of if that church bell was on a timer, why there t'weren't more deaders there.

And swallowing a woodchuck's head whole? Come on man, that's beyond the pale right there.

They've got plenty of food for the moment. As evidence by that stack of purloined goods by the RV. Lori's bit about the graveyard was pure idiocy. Those dead folks don't need that stuff any more. You'd think she'd be a bit more pragmatic about it.

We just need them to meet Otis and he'll take at least one of those characteristics.


Gutting the Walker? That wasn't gutting. That took no skill whatsoever. True hunters know that you want to avoid slicing the stomach and/or intestines to avoid spoiling the meat. However, Darryl is a pretty good tracker. THAT takes skill.

The Deputy is, however, a giant ******.

Troy?

It all makes sense now! His pantslessness has caused him to fracture reality in his quest for leg coverings!
