Who is this mystery soldier? Had a Walking Dead trade cover ever gotten you more excited? And will you be picking these up? Answer below in the comments!
Judging by the Orange that man is a Hunter!! No really though looks like he could be at Alexandria!! Can’t wait to see where this brave new world order takes us.
Mr T?
Walker in the middle of the second cover with Princess has a hat. Homage to tv show Carl?
princess sucks….
And this comment was necessary because… ?
I’m not trying to be rude, but like. It was so unprovoked, my dude. He didn’t even mention Princess specifically for her own sake. He only mentioned her in relation to the cover to highlight a completely different and unrelated detail about the cover.
Okay….I was just stating my thoughts…FREE SPEECH MUST DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….LONG LIVE GROUPTHINK
Groupthink? Man, I can tell you’re probably joking with the over exaggerated all caps but what I’m trying to say is that you can address you don’t like Princess all you want. But to do it specifically IN RESPONSE to a comment that didn’t provoke it AT ALL just makes no sense. It’s like this: I’m telling you a story about me and my friend watching football or something then my dog comes in and just takes a massive shit in front of me and my friend and walks away and we’re both stunned. And then in response to this story where the point was that my dog took a shit in front of me without blinking you go “GOOD GOLLY, I HATE FOOTBALL.” Like, yeah, the detail was there but it’s so completely unprovoked that it would genuinely leave me scratching my head at your input.
And if we gonna go the free speech route (which, again, I’m pretty sure you were joking) then that really just gives us both the right to bitch at each other until one of us is dead.
Good call on the hat!!!! At least we still have badass Carl in the comic. Where he has always been badass.
How do you go to the bathroom in a suit like that?
Assuming these people are tied in with the old world government, these suits could hypothetically be built in a similar vein to astronaut suits, except designated for combat. If that’s the case, they could just use the bathroom in the suits. Otherwise the answer is “don’t think about it.” I don’t think the comic has addressed the issue of sanitation and having to use the bathroom very much. Probably a good thing.
It was a joke dude….for someone who responds with dont think about it…… you sure did put a lot of thought into it…
Well, I was giving you an actual response because it is something interesting to think about. But ultimately a lot of zombie apocalypse story tropes come down to “don’t think about it” in general just so the story can work.
Blue suits… I want blue!
Digging the 3D effect with Princess’ spear poking out.
Really curious about these borderline storm trooper costumes. I mean, it’s obvious that #175’s cover pays homage to a way earlier cover with the survivors in riot gear but the thing is… these costumes still look kinda goofy. I don’t know what the deal is with this order yet but I’m thinking they have the means to mass produce these uniforms. Perhaps they’re built *specifically* for fighting roamers. Our heroes might have to contend with a society further along in means of production than they are. And if that’s the case, that’s not a fight they can really win if it comes to that.
Princess’s face looks like a blowup doll.
Bastet, I’m going to choke you for pointing this out and making me realize it. Godddd. What are you doing, Adlard? Come on, my dude.
Lols! Sorry, man! Just had to say what stuck in my mind.
Blowup dolls and stormtroopers. The future is bright.
Lol, holy fuck. Someone does NOT like me. Literally anything I say these days gets downvoted, whether it’s relevant or not, kind or not, etc. You had the same shit for awhile, right, Bastet?
That SENSELESS downvoting thing is just the mark of intellect rising above & idiots not liking it. Welcome to the club, Grey. I’m still in the club & wear the badge with honor. ?
Wow, it does, that’s funny!
I’ve been a roamer on this site for years, but finally decided to make an account! Maybe I’ll send Kirkman and the team a letter next?! Baby steps….baby steps
I’m pumped for the new arc….I love seeing new characters come in an old characters make their exit. Seeing another black male character, in some kickass Shredder like garb, really gives me hope that there will be someone that can fill the void that Tyreese left. Ezekiel just didnt cut it for me….To this day, I still feel like Tyreese’s death was the most shocking and the most poignant, It was a big moment for me as a reader. Maybe it’s in one of the Letter Hacks, but I’ve always wanted to know Kirkman’s opinion of the Prison story line.
Any, a “New World Order”, seems intriguing. Diggin princess btw….all of the new characters seems like they’d give Ricks team back in the day a run for their money. Good thing they had Michonne
Welcome to the club!
