you're a sneaky one filmslacker, ill give you that
It sounds like season 5 is going to be amazing.I personally loved season 4, expect for a few episodes *cough* That Daryl and Beth one *cough* but other than that it was awesome. I really hope Scott Gimple stays where he is at.
Issue 126 spoilers + issue covers for 127-129
[sp] I wonder if issue 129 is Rick on his cane. 127-128 maybe telling the story of whoever those people are and then meeting up with Rick at 129 so we get a small time jump for him to heal more.
I kinda liked the ending, poor Rick though. I wonder if he'll be able to run properly ever again [/sp]
comic spoilers/speculation dont click if you aren't up to date
[sp]they've almost certainly laid the groundwork for how rick inevitably dies in this comic. There is a 99% chance Negan escapes and kills at least one person before himself being killed[/sp]
Comic: [sp] anyone else like that they went from living in a prison to having a prison? [/sp]
comic:
[sp]I feel like the ending to All Out War really brings Rick's character development full circle. He was a cop; he had to be a savage to live in this world. Now he realizes he has to be more than just a savage because otherwise there's no hope for humanity in this world. I especially enjoyed his Us/Them speech in 126.[/sp]
Now how long will it last before [sp]Negan does something stupid and Rick does something monsterous to survive[/sp]
Comic: [sp]Negan's lost everything now and he knows it. All his boys are following Dwight now so nobody will come to his aid in the event he does escape - the best he can hope for is slipping away quietly or getting revenge on Rick. But that would be suicide, and he doesn't seem like the guy who goes for suicide missions. And honestly, Negan escaping would be too obvious and cliché for the walking dead.[/sp]
[sp]I'm interested to see how Negan and Carl's relationship develops now that they have Negan prisoner.[/sp]
For some reason I see
comic spoilers
[sp] Them keeping Negan in the cell until they'll need to use him to fight another group that probaly kills some of their main characters. [/sp]
It could happen. The ending leads to very many possible outcomes. Kirkman may have actually meant "this changes everything".

I think the issue alone changed a lot. [sp] I think everyone was expecting something horrible or majorly significant to happen, but the fact that the war ended so smoothly and Rick's group ended up better off changes a lot. Now all these different communities are working together and the power balance is completely neutral between all of them. While usually a saga will end on a dramatic note, this saga ended in a complete thematic change. It's back to the living vs the dead motif but no longer about the individuals, rather giant communities working together. This opens up the possibility of exploring diplomacy, rebuilding on a grander scale, governments forming, etc etc, especially with Rick's talk about rebuilding civilization. I think this issue really ended on a good note to set up the next issues [/sp]
goddamn I need to get the latest comics some time soon I'm missing out on too much
comic [sp]Seriously, I can't be the only that that feels issue 126 was underwhelming and anticlimatic. Kirkman overhyped the shit out of it. Think about some of your favourite issues of the walking dead, I bet this one isn't among them. He could have done so much with it but failed to do so. We got a 12 frigging issue story arc, all out WAR, and only Holly and some unimportant characters die? Not that she was too important to begin with. Rick brings back the rule "you kill you die" only to forget it as soon as he wins the war. He promised to kill Negan after Glenn died. Nope, Negan gets to live. Maggie seems ok with it too even though he bashed her husband's skull in (yeah maybe Glenn would have forgiven him, but does SHE forgive him?). I swear Carl is the only sane person now in the comic. But yeah maybe no one had to die, maybe everyone is happy now and civilization can start again. But do not tell me this was a SATISFYING conclusion to the arc after waiting all this time. Of course the comic continues and all kind of things could happen now, which makes it interesting, but this ending was a dissapointment through and through. [/sp]

[sp]Maggie bothered the shit out of me in 126. Looking forward to seeing where things go but I too feel blue-balled. I fell into the hype; I hope 127's double length makes up for it.[/sp]
Honestly I thought it was fine. I never read any of Kirkmans hype ups so I wasn't as geared up as some.
[sp]Negan is way too awesome of a character to kill, and killing any more main would have just been to kill off a main cast, it wouldn't have meant anything. The fact that now the book is going to the recovery of a mess like this is satisfying enough for me. Little to no apocalypse stories go into the recovery.[/sp]
Comic: [sp]I actually liked 126. Rick letting Negan live is like an exclamation mark to his plans on rebuilding civilization, it's the first step towards a new future. Killing him would have just meant everything stays the same. I also love how Rick told him he is going to make Negan watch and see just how wrong he was as he rots, that right there is straight out of Negan's playbook, his preferred method of torture was making you watch as he committed atrocities.
Besides I think Kirkman has plans in the future for Negan, but I would guess it will not come down as revenge, I think Negan will make a dramatic choice somewhere down the line to help Rick. Perhaps someone will be threatening what Rick is doing, maybe even release him only for Negan to help Rick when the time is right. [/sp]
[QUOTE=bepassley;44503454]comic:
[sp]I don't think so. Negan spent alot of time making it clear he had no interest in violence but isn't afraid of it. Rick was always there pushing him. If Rick didn't kill a bunch of his dudes, Abraham and Glenn would still be alive[/sp][/QUOTE]
comments like this make me realize why so many women dont know their husband beating the shit out of them is bad.
[sp]I can't wait to see what becomes of Negan and Carl's relationship[/sp]
[QUOTE=ColdWave;44687706][sp]I can't wait to see what becomes of Negan and Carl's relationship[/sp][/QUOTE]
I think they're going to become total bro's
If the issue 127 spoilers are true, I think I may like this new direction.
though the gap [sp] of 2 years is pretty big, I guess he sort of did it to try and tell a story closely related to the characters (carl) aging on the TV show, not sure. [/sp]
127: [sp]So Negan has been locked up in that tiny cell for two years? Daaayum. I wonder how the whole him being a counsellor type character to Carl will play out, even though Carl admitted he definitely still wants him dead.[/sp]

[sp] the whole thing resembled so much when Rick came there, being Magna the new Rick and Rick being...that bald guy.
They look so much alike, the cane, beard, all that [/sp]
127: [sp]I didn't even recognise Jesus at first, I thought the man was some kind of samurai.[/sp]
Why does (spoilers just in case #127) [sp]Rick look like the most stereotypical apocalypse survivor ever, Carl like a hipster, Jesus like a samurai, and Andrea like a Mexican?[/sp]

the 130 cover looks cool
i wish they'd go back and show us what 128/129 look like with the new title stuff

oh god [sp] where was michonne!? is she dead now?? [/sp]
[QUOTE=autodesknoob;44828160]oh god [sp] where was michonne!? is she dead now?? [/sp][/QUOTE]
My guess is (127)[sp] she is at the kingdom with Ezekiel[/sp]

Probably what above user said, you can't have every single character in a single isseu because it would turn into a huge clusterfuck without any proper story.
I've finally finished all the seasons of walking dead
till October
