Negan isn't a fan of rape, so clearly he is the man to destroy these people.

I'm having a hard time with this issue. I'm not sure how the bald zombie chick had the time to quietly abduct and decapitate all those people, particularly the ones like Rosita who were in the middle of town. Although... man, Rosita was pregnant.

It feels like such a step backwards in the writing for the series' first actually mature and engaging romantic subplots to get turned into REVENGE! motivations in one issue.

moths posted:It feels like such a step backwards in the writing for the series' first actually mature and engaging romantic subplots to get turned into REVENGE! motivations in one issue. As this arc was building up I've been feeling vaguely good about it because they're building up new ideas and ways of living, and there's no way they could do another Governor/Negan plot, basically identical line for line with the characters replaced and the scale increased. But here we are. Admittedly with a much more dramatic twist than "like the Governor but with a sense of humor and doesn't like rape," but ultimately just another twist on that exact same whole story. I guess Ron Pearlman had it right. That said, it'll still be a pretty interesting to watch, just like it was pretty interesting the last couple of times. I wonder if they're going to treat it like it's a twist when Lydia's mom reveals that she was sending her daughter away with Rick to protect her from being raped, not because Lydia was weak, but because Alpha thought she was weak or whatever for still being... uh... bothered by her daughter getting raped. 'Cause it seemed like one of those pretty obvious things they'll try to turn into a revelation to "redeem" her later on.

Eiba posted:Yeah, I can appreciate the whole "anyone can die in a dangerous world" thing, but I don't know if it was the silly one-woman stealth massacre rather than like... a real cause and effect death, but this seemed like the most blatant "let's kill characters purely to make the reader feel strong feelings!" since Negan basically spelled that out as his reasoning for killing Glen. The more I think about it, the less sense this makes, yeah. I could see Alpha managing to grab Ezekiel, since he was running out of town after Michonne like a moron, or that one dude at the blacksmith hut by pretending to be into him, but that's about it. It would be marginally more believable if she's got a dude back at her camp who used to be a special-effects expert or a makeup artist or something, and that's not saying a hell of a lot..

Why do you all think she did it? She could have just ordered others to do it while she went and had her talk with Rick.

Sitting in the Kirkman panel at NY Comicon. They showed a preview of the comic #150 cover.  Edit: sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, here is a better version http://media.comicbook.com/2015/10/walking-dead-150-cover-154409.jpg tomapot fucked around with this message at 03:14 on Oct 9, 2015 |

I just recently got caught up on both the comic and this thread. It's kind of funny to go back a few pages in the thread and see everybody consistently guess wrong on where the story is going to go.

The covers are still great. I get that they don't put them in the trades to avoid breaking up the flow of the story, but they're really cool regardless. I also like that Dwight, despite everything he's done, has no self confidence and doesn't believe in himself at all. Like on the 'Call to Arms' cover, he's looking all imposing, but still looks really unsure of himself.

Issue 152: It's issues like this that make me just stop reading for a few months. I've never followed a series that excelled so well at stretching something that should have taken two pages at most to a full issue length. I can't say that nothing happened this month because Negan's out but I open the book and two minutes later I'm looking at the letters page wondering if I missed something.

A lot of times I feel Kirkman could condense a lot of his scenes and actually devote pages to characters that don't get a heck of a lot of screen time. Instead the whole comic was basically pissed off, grieving kid hates Rick.

I'm really curious to see how the show handles Negan being basically Kirkman's in-universe voice. If you look back, he has a habit of indirectly addressing the reader - not in an overt Deadpool 4th wall sort of way, but by including us in his thought process and being extremely open. Maybe I'm reading too much into his initial appearance, but when he was deciding who to kill it read like Kirmman's thought process on which character to eliminate. Now that he's Rick's "personal demon" it reads like Kirkman goading Rick into making the comics more interesting.

I fully expect the next issue to open with a shot or someone yelling Rick's name and everyone scrambling towards it only to find Negan chilling on a bench with the dead kid by him and Negan's just smugly using the opportunity to call Rick out on poo poo. Wouldn't be the first time someone goes behind Rick's back to Negan.

I dropped out of this comic a while ago, after Negan appeared, killed Glenn, chumped Rick's settlement and took their supplies and medicine, and then the gang went off to meet the King of Georgia or something to help them take Negan down. How are you guys still discussing Negan? How did they make him into anything besides a crazy megalomaniac to be eventually killed by Rick or Michonne?

Long story short, Rick & Co. eventually raid Negan's hideout and defeat him but instead of killing him, Rick has him locked up in a cell in the basement of one of the houses in Alexandria because KILLING IS WRONG! Next issue has a 2 year time skip and he's still locked up down there and Rick occasionally visits to ask advice. That's more or less where we are now.

Issue 154: I know Kirkman always wants to add some last minute characterization before offing his character's but its a bit odd to have folks stroll past the Whisperer's "don't pass this point or we will kill and mutilate your loved ones corpses" barrier and immediately have a loud, casual conversation about how fuckable Jesus is. Aaron stabbed in side by Whisperer named Beta, who earlier in issue allowed Negan to join their way of life

I'm a little hopeful that Negan's zero-tolerance for rape pays off somehow, given that Kirkman went out of his way to depict the Whisperers' completely opposite attitude on the issue.
