I started the comic series last night. It is the first comic I've ever read. I think my husband got a little giddy over the fact that I was interested enough to download them. So far so good. Artwork is amazing.

The game rock indeed and about season 2 being a bit slow, I'm one of those who appreciated the in depth drama and at times slow feel of the series, I mean it manages to picture one of the key things of a zombie apocalypse "The time waiting around to die" kind of deal..

About the comics, I am gonna start reading those soon.

Just finished the first episode of the game, and "holy crap" is about all I can say lol. I gotta say, I like what they did with the aiming reticle and contextual input.

Finished episode 2 just a bit ago.

I love Clementine so much!! She's one of the few child NPCs I've ever actually liked, and she's just a fantastic character.

100% agree with you on that Grey.

I kept making a cringey face waiting for the terrible, un-child-like dialog to spew out of her but it never came. Not only did I not hate her, I actually cared about her and was even worried about her in scenes where I wasn't sure where she got to.

I'm a bit worried about how they're going to play up this bond in later episodes. I have a terrible, evil imagination which can conjure up many ways to exploit the player, Clementine bond so I can only imagine what TellTale will do...

EDIT: @ Syndl: Hahaha, look at you all Walking Dead fixated lately....sounds familiar.

The comics are very different than the show; so much so its surprising how far things diverge. I remember first seeing them years ago at the comic/game store at Pike Place in Seattle. Who knew there was a little slice of nerd heaven in that old fish-market? I did! And my wife wonders while I always agree to go there with her....

As a different set of events in the same universe, I like that there's more than one way to explore the story. Let me know what you think of the comics.

@n_p: Duuuuude. You have no idea. I'm just trying to figure out the most effective way to twist your arm hard enough to start a game.*nudgenudgepushshove*

Re: comics: I find the characters much less likable in the comic series than in the tv show or game. Lori is insanely annoying in the comic and sometimes I just want to shake her for being so over the top. And, Glenn is a little... I don't know. He's sweet in the show, but I find him a little too horn-dogish in the comic. And, Andrea & Dale?! Didn't expect that!!

After reading a good bit of the comic, I can understand why some people are upset with the pacing of the tv show. Things do happen so much faster there than on the screen. However, its only solidifying my view that the pace is good, for me anyway. The character development is good in the comic and I'm sometimes surprised by how well its done, but I find it better and more complete in the show. But, that could just be me.

Re: videogame: I love, love, love Clementine and Lee. I love that she is his vulnerable point and I love seeing a male role as the caregiver for her. He's so unsure of what to do or how to care for her and yet he's completely devoted to her. I'm with you, n_p that there's a good potential for some tears if anything happens to either of them in this game.

When I was having the standoff with danny in the barn, holding the pitchfork over him, I was thinking to myself, "I gotta kill this bitch. These people are just going to lure more clueless victims in and keep killing and eating them," so I forked him.

And immediately, I see Clementine out of the corner of the screen with wide eyes, and I'm like, "NO CLEMENTINE, YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO SEE THAT!!!"

Ultimately, it was for that reason that I ended up letting Andy live. That look I got from the little girl and having to tell her that it was necessary "because they were bad people and they were trying to hurt us," was just heart-wrenching, and it totally yanked me back into some semblance of humanity.

I think I spent 10 minutes making up my mind, I didn't know she would witness it if you killed the guy, I was really struggling with the whole "make the hard choice or keep my humanity" deal, obviously ended up not killing the guy, but it was quite a bittersweet feeling it caused..

What about the car filled with food? what did you guys do there?

For the same reason I didn't kill the second brother, I didn't take the food either. Although, what I really wanted to do was wait overnight to see if anybody came back before making that decision.

The way I saw it, the car was still on and the door was open, but there was no blood or bodies anywhere... which to me meant that somebody ran off in a hurry, but if they shook off their pursuit, they might be back for their supplies.

Of course, we didn't get that option, so I went with leaving the supplies alone.

Exactly how I felt about the situation, I would have liked to get a chance to wait aswell, but considering the whole herd of zombies nearby thing, I had a bit trouble deciding if I should go for it or not, what was tipped me over to not taking the supplies was trying to be a good example for Clementine.
