THE RESULTS ARE IN! After WAY too many rounds of voting (what was I thinking?), we have our Dead Cup champion! It’s only fitting that the last man standing as your favorite character from the comic is the man that started it all:
RICK GRIMES.
A huge thanks to all of you that voted! Some of you cheeky bastards were suggesting that we were just running this contest so Robert would know who to kill off. Of course that’s ridiculous (Robert just kills off whoever wants), but it’s not THAT far from the truth. We did want to get a better feel for which characters in the comic you guys actually love. We have our hunches (Michonne, Rick, Carl) but it’s interesting to see what you really think (like I thought for sure Ezekiel would go further). And this helps inform some of our other business decisions, like merch and licensing. In short: there was a purpose to the whole thing. So thank you for taking the time to vote and for all the comments and discussion!
Make some noise below! If your favorite character didn’t make the grade, let us hear it!
Here’s the final bracket, with King Rick as champion:
GROUP A
GROUP B
GROUP C
GROUP D
SWEET SIXTEEN I
SWEET SIXTEEN II
QUARTERFINALS
SEMIFINALS
FINALS
Thanks for all your hard work on this Brian, the Cup has been immense, I know its been a pain in the ass for you at times but we really do appriciate it. What can I say about the winner, I voted Carl, but Rick is one hell of a bad ass and rightly deserves his place at the top for now. I maintain my stance that Carl is the future but more than happy to let Rick have his moment. Thanks again Brain and you will be starting the TV championship next week right? 😉 #TheFuture

Wow, Rick won by a bigger percentage that I though he would, still not a landslide but thought it would of been a bit closer.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how the results would be if Carl was anything other than a whittling emo.
Heh, NoRoomForSecondPlace

I think Brian’s a cooler person than Lizzy but that’s just me.
They should make a poll so we can vote on it … Brian vs Lizzy 🙂
YEA
Just kidding by the way you guys are both equally cool in my book keep up the good work ..
Oh.

We love you Brizzy! Now give us some of that SDCC loot! Bastet wants Lucille!!!
Brizzy?! O.O Lizzy Huntington? Brian Iverson?! Brian and Lizzy Huntington-Iverson?! umm…… time to put you in the corner
Brian without Lizzy is like cornflakes without milk.
Brian totally would win! He’s more clearer when is comes to things!
You just made me spill my drink I laughed so hard at this post.
😉
My vote’s on The Intern. He washes cars.
I watched Hemlock Grove again it is actually pretty good . I usually play on my phone and miss plot points for movies and shows so I have to watch things more than once.
I went to see Transformers yesterday. It’s been a long time since I’ve sat in a theater thinking, “Damn, when is the movie gonna be over?! I am so ready to go! Enough already!”Guardians of the Galaxy moved up a couple of notches in my movie queue after seeing the trailer I saw in the theater.
I watched Dawn of the planet of the Apes today that movie was awesome it is a definite must see .
Going with Lizzy I bet she told Brian how to run the tournament
Lol
I doubt she helped him but of course any post would be good if it takes you three months every time you post something lol jk .
Ha ha my friend I have missed you as well
Yes this has been really fun it was extremely great to see who people like and vote against them . #LongLiveKingEzekiel #ShivaIsFurry
It’s all your fault!
I feel like I been spayed like a cat!
I know man… Long Live Carl !! And if Rick did what Hershel told him not to do… Carl would’ve won.
LOL!
I wish.
So seeing how much we love Glenn…even in spite of his abhorrent comic book death…can you please tell Kirkman NOT to kill TV series Glenn? I may be wrong but I think TV series Glenn is one of the few that the comic readers and show watchers love equally. Unlike Andrea, Carol, and the Governor to name a few. #VivaLaGlenn!
Yea
That was a really good comment I completely agree with you. #GlennIsALegend #ICantFindMyKeys
#OhNoJasonCantFindHisDamnKeys
You not supposed to say anything! Kirkman loves dares!
PLEASE DON’T KILL DARYL!
PLEEZ!!
i hope he dies
I’m 50/50 on it. I don’t want him to die because he’s a good guy on the right side of the fence, but I want to see him die so that TWD can, once again, prove that no one character is safe!
yeah i always seem to want either my favorite character or a popular character to die to see what happens afterwards.
What was the percentage?
I would like to know how close it was.

I’m glad my man Rick won, but I’m bummed Negan didn’t make it further.
Yeah Rick ftw!!!!!
Yea!! XD My man won!! It must be a Grimes week. lol I won the Weekend Challenge and Rick won the Dead cup. :* to you, honey!
…
Sorry…..my twitter account is OtherMrsGrimes.
kkk
I knew rick or Carl would win but my favorite comic book characters are rick and andrea. I really like her she is the best character by far
Andrea was my #1.
WAS?!
Was until Jason voted against her & she lost.
I voted for Andrea
What?! Oh, I can’t keep up with you!
I have always been a big fan of comic Andrea .
Then you must like this! :
I like it
This is how the battle played out: Rick had his trusty pistol while Carl had his AK-47. Carl was able to shoot Rick clean through the chest. Rick fell into a coma and when awoken found that Andrea had cheated on him for Carl. Rick has a fight with Carl when all of a sudden a bullet flies through Carl’s neck. Carl drops to the ground and drowns in his own blood. Rick turns to find that the shooter was none other than Billy, the boy that Carl supposedly killed. Rick forgives Andrea and they both raise Billy to be a formidable killer. The End!
But Billy (Donna and Allen’s son) was killed by Ben and Billy (Hershel’s son) died from a Woodbury soldier. I’m confused 0_-
Anything can happen on the Walking Dead…. and I got mixed up with Ben. 🙂
🙂
I’ve fixed it to Ben instead of Billy.
kk
What a beautiful fight. I feel like both got their “fifteen minutes” in.
About time someone I voted for did good. I think Abraham and Negan should have went farther. A Abraham Tyresse throwdown would have been good so would of Negan vs The Governor

On to the T.V. Tournament Brian
Then after that, it’s comic vs TV character. Brian’s using colorful language in the office right about now.
That’s a really good idea .
I think in a TV version of the Dead Cup, Carl is going to be taken out much faster.
Yeah, unfortunately, I wouldn’t be voting him as high. Not exactly sure who my #1 would be but I know Rick would be somewhere near the top.
that’s weakkk. Carl definitely should have won!
Well, it may not have been Carl… But it at least it was Grimes. Rick is quite deserving.
Also, post the percentages.
FYI, the percentages have been unlocked in the post where we voted.
welp this was great . I really appreciate all the hard work it was fun. Lets do more interactive things like this.
It’s sad that Eugene was eliminated immediately… Same with Jesus. But Rick was always meant to win. ALL HAIL RICK!
Carl is better. Here’s what would’ve happened if Carl won and all you crying Rick fans were just.
If they did a TV version of the tournament I would pick Daryl Dixon to win!
All hail to King Rick! The rightful champion of the dead cup!
The damn Pope made it to TWD!
LOL! He kind of looks like that creepy Burger King guy…
Yeah, he does! Lol!
I guess so.
i see it a little
NOOO HOW What No!
Very “sudden”.
LONG LIVE THE KING!
I wish Andrea would have made it further!
Negan is secretly the winner! In the basement! In jail!
Zeke lost a lot of stock when the tiger died.
FYI, the result percentages are shown on the previous Dead Cup post where we voted!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssss!!!
