This Thanksgiving we asked The Walking Dead Family what about our community they were most thankful for. Whether it was related to the show, comics, or something else we wanted to showcase the good TWD Family does for everyone. Here are our favorite responses:
I'm thankful for #thewalkingdead because it's forged a tighter bond between my dad and I. It's become 'our thing' since I got him into the show last summer. I wouldn't trade a thing for the Sunday nights that I spend with him watching the best show on TV ?

The story of a family being brought together as the world seemed to collapse into darkness is a source of strength, inspiration, and love that brings light to my own heart and courage to face all of life's struggles, no matter how painful. #TWD family is life and love to me. ♥️ pic.twitter.com/xt5faSPktk

(We’re glad Rick’s alive too…believe us). But more importantly, we here at Skybound are INCREDIBLY thankful for fans like you. We have arguably the best show (and comic) fanbase around (suck it, Game of Thrones) and you guys make our jobs more enjoyable than you know. So Happy Thanksgiving!
