I've only dabbled in the comic, but with them being over 100 now, are there any trades of TWD by chance?
There's a trade for every 6 issues. A hardcover for every 12 issues. An omnibus for every 24 issues. And a Compendium for every 48 issues.
I think the book is going to be very obvious in its direction with Negan (at least to me this is obvious)
Negan is arrogant, that is his downfall and I liked his scene with Carl. Took it as foreshadowing. Negan is sadistic and thinks Rick's group is soft. Carl isn't. Carl is going to kill EVERYONE in Negan's group in a far more brutal way. Rick and his group will be disgusted at how Carl is now every bit as dangerous. Negan won't expect it either. His arrogance will allow Carl to get close enough. I bet Carl pulls a Kick-Ass.

I feel terribly hipster, but I think I'm starting to loath WD just because of how popular the TV show is.
All anyone talks about at work is "did you see what happened on Walking Dead last night?", "what do you think will happen next week?", "isn't it so shocking and suspenseful?"
No. You know what was shocking and suspenseful? The actual ****ing comic book. And now it's jumped the shark. So instead of watching a show that - while good - isn't nearly as good as the comics, why don't you try actually reading someone inventive and cutting edge like the newest indie comics out there instead of staring at a TV watching shows that don't even come close to the inventiveness, explosiveness and originality of some of the really good comics of the world?!
...and I'm done.
Has anyone here read the "The Walking Dead" comics from 1989?
I just came across this blog from 2010, where the guy says AMC is adapting it for TV, lol. But I never knew there had been a comic about zombies called "The Walking Dead" before, it's in black and white too. It sounds really silly.

The tv show still holds its own suspense and surprise for me. Looking at the plot lines every episode I easily see that things are only following the comic a little bit. They take the base of how things happened in the comic and sort of flip it on its head. Just look at this season with the Governor. It's been far different from the comic. It's inevitable that I'm going to compare the comic to the show, but I am glad that they do different things on the show so that I'm not seeing a panel-to-scene rehash of what I've already read.
