Ok can we not talk comics here? Now I know that a well liked character they are introducing is going to wind up dead and the prison is going to be an absolute bloodbath. Things I'd much rather have not known.

i can't tell if this is a spoiler to take away some suspense for me or not. I know more characters will die some sooner than the comics some later. new ones will come in and will be well liked and they will die. so I expect this. but when I read this I can't determine if this is spoiler enough.....

do you want to talk adaption to the TV or the comic series itself. I think the comic series itself should get its own thread as those would create major spoilers or at least come with a SPOILER WARNING to start the post and then post the rest in small white so we dont accidentally read it like I did this one :) my own fault.

I will read the comics but since I got the show first I need to finish that.

I try to avoid spoilers, but with the huge amount of differences the show and the comic series have had I would have no confidence that the show will introduce all the same characters or that they would have the same story lines or fates. There have already been a number of deaths on the show that surprised me, characters that may not have died then in the comics or even at all in the comics.

Sorry, I'll try harder, and anything remotely spolierish I will tag like this, so minor I am not sure its is but just in case, and to possibly ease your minds. Basically just information saying that nothing has been really spoiled or given away.

SPOILER

The series has had 19 episodes, the comics have 98 issues and has been going on 10 years. The character in question was not even introduced until after issue 50 - 5 or 6 years into the series and well past the point of any plot line even hinted at in the TV series. So even if he/she is eventually in the show, it would not be for a long time unless they would change his/her whole story up and in that case I wouldn't expect the same fate. In this series/comic knowing that an un-named character is going to die, is not a spoiler because a lot of people die and continue to die.

And about the prison, do not make any big assumptions from the previous posts, it may not be exactly what you think. Plus it may really deviate from the comics. And like with the character, one could name almost any setting there was in the comic and there would have been some bloodshed there. So knowing something bad happens in place A isnt really a spoiler because bad things happen all over the place.

I'm sorry that I spoiled the fact that people die and zombies get shot in the head in this series.

Here is a comics spoiler to show how little we actually know about upcoming events on the TV series.

Sophia is still alive in the comics.

Darryl is not even in the comic books. in fact I believe they are trying to introduce a character with a cross bow in new books.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're being borderline sarcastic. Just cutting this off before somebody slips up.

I think the only thing we can probably safely assume about the show following the book is the settings that the story takes place in(season 1 outside of Atlanta, season 2 in the farm, season 3 in the prison, etc). Also major plot points such as the Rick/Lori/Shane thing. Everything else is anybody's guess.

It is pretty good right now, I agree there has been some slow spots recently but it has picked up. Wonder what they have in store for issue 100.....
Cake! and Braaaaiiiiiiiinnnnssss!
Apparently there is a video online of the murder that took place. Pretty sick.

Suspect in body parts probe described as 'creepy' and a kitten-killer - CNN.com
yeah that's just awful.
apparently had videos of himself killing cats a while ago, and then included a message of something like "Once you have a taste for blood, it can't be tamed. I'll be back, and this time it won't be animals"
Police got the tape of him stabbing the victim, but dismissed it as a hoax.

didn't know he dated Homolka, but it makes sense. she's pretty fucked up too.
she was upset she couldn't offer her own virginity to her equally crazy boyfriend, so drugged her little sister (14, I think) and offered that up instead. The sister ended up dead, of course.

Wasn't sure if people saw this, but if you're in England, you can have a zombie experience.'

Also, anyone else excited about the upcoming Walking Dead marathon weekend?
