Ah, the FINALS of The Dead Cup! Rick didn’t have too hard of a time beating Michonne (71% to 29%) but the Carl vs Glenn match up was MUCH closer. Carl beat Glenn just 55% to 45%. That’s interesting, and I don’t think it bodes well for little Carl in this final match, but we’ll see.
RICK vs CARL
And then there were two. Father vs Son. The Present vs The Future. Rick and Carl Grimes in a battle for your love and affection. Who is your favorite character?

Because you say so?
Did I say that ? I’m sorry if that come off rude .. I’m going for passive aggressive Stone Cold lol.
There’s a passive agressive Stone Cold? So much for the stunner!
That’s how he gets people close for the stunner he is ridiculously nice then BOOM goodnight…

Winner of what ?
Oh, gawd, Jason, you gonna open up a can of whoopazz!

Epic’s adrenaline is redlining. He needs to know who won the Weekend Challenge. He’s about to go Full Shane.
Oh I see that probably won’t be announced until next Thursday at 4 pm Eastern standard time.
Hopefully before SDCC, lol!
ME TOO!! GRRRRRRR!
I won’t go full Shane. But did you see that Lizzy up-voted my Rick slashing Negan’s throat entry?
I saw that! Always a good thing!
I hope. I need my second copy of the SDCC variant (Because I’m pegging the 129 Discussion prize too! >:D ) HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
That’s a pretty cool variant with that Manifest Destiny wraparound!

We welcome anyone to keep us company…as long as they know how to play!
HELL YEAH!!!

Gotta go with Carl
God…fuck Carl.
Um….. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK4fJhbRL1g
Nothing more original than posting a video as a comment. Bravo sir.
No, I did say, “Um….. ” before entering the link for the comment.
It has to be Carl hands down. Everybody knows it, even Negan. Carl is a walking future badass in the making
Damnit. I knew I’d have to vote for a Grimes eventually.
Which one’s got your vote, Ollie?
Rick, he’s interested me more throughout the whole series, whilst Carl only appealed to me (so far) from the Abraham days onwards, once his character developed with that darker side coming out, who are you going for? Looking below, you’re clearly Team Carl, woops…
What we don’t know is Kirkman is using this to determine which we like most, so he can kill him at the end of the next arc.
Sorry, I’m sticking by my man, Rick Grimes all the way.
I want you to know that I’ve been thinking about this for a few brackets back. I like show Rick better than I like comic Rick.
I haven’t read all the comic books yet. But so far, I like both Ricks.
How far are ya in?
Fall of the prison, volume 8. I will say, “Don’t look back” made way more sense in the comic book than on the show.
When you get a little farther, you may start to see why some of us are voting Carl over Rick. Chickie, you need to do some binge reading!
I know, I know!!!
Back at the point you’re at, I said I wasn’t gonna read past the show…was gonna keep ’em parallel. PFFFFT!!! So much for that!!! I blazed right on through!!
I want to know what might happen so I need to catch up tremendously.
I stayed away from this section of the site until I got caught up….wanted to get the full effect of it as much as I could (there were still spoilers elsewhere). When you get to Negan, I wanna hear what you think about him!
Okay. Do you know where Volume 10 leaves them at? Just location, don’t tell me deaths or anything.
If you’re trying to parallel them with the show, you don’t wanna go beyond Vol 10.
I don’t care about paralleling them. I’m just interested for show purposes. I live in Maryland. Want to know if they’ll make it up to this area by end of Season 5. Heard rumor they are building sets in Alexandria, VA. If they are, I’m gonna check the extra web sites to see if they are asking for extras. 😀
If what we suspect about Terminus is true, that time is short-lived in the comic (I hope that little bit hasn’t spoiled anything for you!). Thing is, it could be drawn out in the show & probably will be…Kirkman has stated that he doesn’t want the show to catch up with the comic. It’s obvious that you don’t have to worry about hawking the casting calls for Season 5 but I wouldn’t rule Season 6 out!
Hope that helps & I’ll certainly be pullin’ for ya to get in!
You didn’t spoil anything. I already know of some deaths in the comic book that have not taken place in the tv show. I was doing research for my TWD fan fiction when I came across it. I just don’t know how they die.
I just hope the rumor is true and they are coming up this way. I don’t care when, this season or next. I’m going to be all over the extra boards and will travel the three hours to do it!!
I’ve been working on losing some weight and things have been going great. I have lost 25 pounds! I could use the additional time to lose more to better my chances. They don’t have many heavy walkers. :/
Excellent job on the weight loss but you could always go for something else if the walker gig doesn’t pan out. There are communities coming up in the show. You try to get in on one of those extras you may last longer, lol!
The rumor floating around down here is that they will continue to shoot in ATL, but that is a rumor and we know how that goes. They’re gonna be evasive about it until the very last minute because of spoilers.
Just order volume 9 and 10 on Amazon. Happy? Lol. I am!!
If you’re anything like me, they won’t last long enough.
Oh I know they won’t but that is all money will allow right now. :/
Amazon’s great….I’m an Amazonian for sure. That’s where I get those nice TWD hardcovers. Just a tip, tho: look at eBay, too. Sometimes the lots can be cheaper. I had to bridge a gap with single issues after Hardcover 9 & eBay was the way to go.
I’m jumping the gun, tho….you’ll get there!
But Bassey, comic Rick is just so hardcore. ;(
I know…it’s not by much, tho. There’s just something about Andrew Lincoln & his performance on the show. Then it’s the show that I first fell in love with.
After today’s issue, I may change my mind! 😉
Gotta go with Rick.
Rick!
Rick!!! Fuck Carl
Rick !!! every time Rick ! Peru is with you Rick 😀
Team Rick Grimes in the house! If Carl did win this tournament I will laugh my head off because it’s total BS sorry. Without Rick. He’s nothing. Funny, Carl cannot kill him if he was dead or alive. That is a fact! Here is another fact about Rick Grimes. Rick can take a punch.
But, I honestly this is an even match. It’s perfect!
Rick!
Nice! Like that pic at the bottom far right.
I like that one in the middle.
Miley Cyrus > Air
TROLL ALERT!!!
Carl’s gonna win!
Stop frontin’….you know it’s Bieber > Miley to you!
Bieber is the new King of Pop .
Team Rick all the way. Carl is an Emo wuss. Go and eat your 8 lbs of pudding.
This ain’t the show, boy. No pudding (or even “emo” behavior besides having long hair that happens to naturally be black) here.
Yeah, yeah. And Carl did shoot up Negans guys. Comic Carl is much better than TV Carl. But still, Rick all the way.
I voted for Carl but I think this one time, I’m okay with either one winning. Grimes family all the way.
Hey, you reading Outcast?
Yeah! Read the first issue. Now waiting for the second…
FUUUCKK I haven’t… ;_;
You gotta get in on that….Next Big Thing!!!
What is Outcast? New comic series? Thanks.
Yep! Robert Kirkman’s! We’re gearing up for issue #2, out the 30th of this month. 1st was great….intriguing story, right from the start!
Excellent! Going to check it out. Love Kirkman’s work. Thank you!
You’ll enjoy it, I’m sure. There’s a frame in there that will give you goose bumps! Come back & let me know what you think!
Definitely will let you know. Enjoy the day and the weekend.
You do the same! 😉
yeaaaahhhh #2 bring it on .. #ILikeLongWalksOnTheBeach
Rosita > Andrea
Rosita left Eugene for Buttons.
Show Andrea > Comic Andrea
oh… no…. you…. did…. NOT!!!
Glenn has cooties.
Ezekiel likes licking cooties.
my votes > your votes
your votes = -1
Ezekiel is the best
Eugene can do better .
He found Ooma. Now nobody can find him.
Eugene secretly wears pantyhose.
The top right of all these pics? The one with with Rick entering Negan’s new vagina neck with a knife? Yeah, I have a better pic:
Actually I think it would be potentially very intense and emotional if a story arc ever got to the point where these two characters (had to) kill one another. On one side what if Rick has to put his son Carl down for turning into a sociopath or whatever the circumstances may be? And on the other what if Carl got things twisted and wanted to kill his own father to take over or because he thought Rick did something that was punishable by death? Then of course there is always the scenario in which one of the characters got bit and the other is putting them down for good. It could go either way really. I mean in a stand up battle I can see Rick in his prime offing Carl but I can also see him not being able to do it like Morgan wasn’t able to with his own son. Then is the scenario where Rick is pretty much handicapped now. So I guess its all on view point and writing the circumstances. So I hate to say it, but given what they have gone through and their physical standings I can see Carl coming out on top. Either way, real close and dark victory indeed…
I think if Carl did kill Rick, that’d be the end of Carl, as so many people follow Rick, and whilst those who followed Negan turned to Dwight so quickly, Dwight wasn’t a boy. Nor did Negan have a personal relationship with anyone who would want to avenge him, like Rick with Andrea.
Carl FTW
Rick and Carl are both too soft now (Carl is carving god damn unicorns out of wood!) but Rick is becoming too weak and frail. If he were to go into a fight with Carl, Carl would probably kick his walking stick out from underneath him and then shoot him in the head when he’s down. That’s the Carl Grimes way!
LOL!
Brutal… I love it!
Go Rick. Carl killed Shane. Screw Carl.
I gave one of Carl’s points to Rick for that one!
I vote for Carl. However, fans of a different opinion.
Oh man! Rick by a landslide!
This will be fake surly? how would he have the results? or is a seprate poll that someone has done using Brian’s graphics? keep the faith Bastet #The Future
I’m not sure of the origin….just assumed someone ran their own Cup, based on ours. Now that I think about it, tho, they ended up with quick results, so either they closed each of their polls out earlier with the same results in the finals or they went through a time jump. Could be wishful thinking put in an image editing program, too. Either way, imitation is the best form of flattery & we know who’s got The Real Deal!
i thought you voting carl?
I did. These results have Rick winning by a landslide. I’ve come to the conclusion that this is somebody’s image mod…there’s no way Rick would win by such a large margin!
Fffffffff. I’m voting Carl, my man! But I’ll be honest, this is the first time I’m voting for him and not feeling confident in my vote.
We knew it would come down to father and son… But whatever happens, at least it was a Grimes that took home the gold.
I’m confused how Carl even MADE it this far….
Carl is love, Carl is life…
RICKTATORSHIP 4 LIFE
Brock Lesnar > Bruce Lee
Trolls….oye!
Bruce would so destroy Flock with his hands tied behind his back
#BruceLee4Life
I agree if he had help .
Bruce would so destroy Brock a lot worse then Alistiar Overeem did#ChinaTownBeatDown
Can we at least agree that Bruce Lee wouldn’t stand a chance against the Ninja Turtles?
Bruce would destroy Brock Chuck and all four turtles at one time
I’m not sure about that Raphael is pretty tough and Michelangelo loves to party . Donatello will make weapons and Leonard will bring the swords like Wu Tang . Bam !
I was rooting for Negan….
I would have agonized over Negan vs Andrea at the top.
RICK!
<3
Rick MotherF*cking Grimes FOR THE WIN!
