More From Robert Kirkman On The Walking Dead!

:)

daryl is indeed a cool character

Yeah i do not like that kid as Carl. Love the show, gotta say i understand trying to bring some type of closure to the series in case it never got picked up for a second season, but i was really bummed out by the whole CDC story deviation. To just spill it like that and essentially tell the characters there's no hope and that the rest of the planet is gone too, pretty much negates the whole prison story arc and the community beyond that. Where's the tension if everyone has given up any type of hope? I mean even as a viewer its gonna be kinda boring knowing there may be no resolve. Or maybe the CDC guy was just misinformed. Also concerned the show wont last as long as we'd like and Darabont's trying to get the ending outta Kirkman for the show... that would ruin the last seven years of the comics for me if they spilled it like that in the show. Kirkman seems like he'd just throw something different at them anyway, keep the real ending for himself... nevermind just reassured myself outloud. :p

I enjoyed season 1 a lot and just started reading the comic. Good stuff. Can't wait for season 2. :)

I'm a HUGE fan of the comics and I'm really liking the show a lot. I do not like the CDC story arc as I felt it ruined the spirit of the source material.

There have been some serious deviations from the comic book, though. By and large, they haven't wiped their asses with it yet. If Shane makes it farther than two episodes into the new season, they will have, however.

I hope no further serious deviations occur and I hope they get it back on track with the comic storyline soon.

And my guess about Merle?

----THE GOVERNOR

Sure it would be uprooting the Governor's character origin, but it makes sense, especially considering what the Governor does to Rick. It would be rather poetic for Merle to be that guy.

I'm sorry but have I been reading the same comics as everyone else? Because I LOVE the comics and am NOT happy with the direction this tv series is taking. When Kirkman said if he could've changed anything about the 1st season he would've killed more people...I can agree with that statement because I was hoping by the end of the first season they would've killed off all the unnecessary "extra" characters! The great thing about this comic was the depth, the feelings you had for these people, the devastation you felt when one of them died, because the comics allowed you to KNOW these people. The series is not. I am not okay with major plot changes. I was excited about this series because I wanted to see what I had become more realistic. If the comic wasn't boring, why would the series be? Would people be okay with Batman if Nolan had completely changed his character because he thought it would sell better? How many people are unhappy with Green Lantern because his suit doesn't look EXACTLY as it did in the comic? Well wouldn't it be BORING if the Green Lantern was true to comic book form? No it would not. Just like the Walking Dead would be amazing just as it was written. Kirkman...stand behind your vision and quit selling out. People obviously loved what you did, don't [frick] with it!
