The Walking Dead Season 2 Trailer

Ummm guys, I'm pretty sure the rules on language here is for pictures too. Maybe people should tone it down so the thread doesn't get locked?

Looking forward to the upcoming season, although I don't see how they will be able to come close to what happened at the prison in the comic. Now, that was some twisted, dark stuff.

This would make a nice obscure shirt.

I really liked that fan made intro to Walking Dead. I always thought it would be cool for AMC to show some love and use his intro for one episode in one of the seasons.

I guess they kinda showed their appreciation when the Walking Dead game used him to create their intro. You can see the similarities in the videos.

I agree. They're both pretty awesome. I guess the reason why the game's trailer is like that because it is based within the actual comic's timeline (not the show) much like the fan-made intro was based on the comics, and the game even involves a few characters that show up in the comics (in fact, in the trailer, you see Glenn helping in closing the door).

A One-Off Run in Playboy recently...enjoy.

The Katana are displayed upside down and backwards....

Compared to how they were originally illustrated or just the way you'd normally display them?

If the latter, perhaps the kid had no idea how to display them properly.

Maybe they were tachi.

Or Kirkman doesn't know a thing about katanas and thinks wallhangers can actually be used to chop people's heads off.

That's probably the real answer.

I'll come up with a fan explanation though... the kid was one of those kids that loved swords and thought he knew everything but didn't know anything. He sharpened his swords nicely, but one of the swords he picked up at a pawn shop (as opposed to those cheap mall swords). No one knew what it was... whomever sold the sword to the pawn shop, the pawn store owner and the kid. It turns out that it was a real katana, which he sharpened nicely.

It was this sword that Michonne found by accident and discovered just how good it was.

How's that?

Maybe I'm just not thinking about it in the right way, but I really dont see how having the two zombies follow her around would make the other ones not attack her...

First, the smell of the bodies close to her masks her own scent. keeping them close to her physically keeps others a little further away from her so they can't get close enough. I don't think she ever barrels through a crowd of walkers with them, but they provide a little extra cover that she wouldn't have otherwise.

That's plausible than most people think. The problem I see with this kid paying for the katana. I mean, a real one, especially a vintage one (circa WWII on back) wouldn't be the same price as the $30 ones you find at flea markets. A vintage and legit katana would be well over $500 bucks (honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it were over $1,000). Even some of the practice ones that claim to be "battle ready" are a minimum of $200. I actually tried to do a search to see if there are katanas that had the same strength quality of old ones were available, only to discover a little bit of a rule of thumb: If you're spending under $400, then it's more likely getting a display piece, not something meant for use in actual battle.

That's why I add the nobody knew explanation. I mean, lets face it... if it were an heirloom or stolen, the person selling it at a pawn shop would probably have no idea. The pawn shop owner only knows wall hangers. So it was priced accordingly. There are few specialists in this field. So the kid, unknowingly ends up with a real gem... but of course, he thinks the wall hangers are gems.

Best scenario I've got.

or maybe he bought it for 500+ bucks. kids have way too much money these days

Maybe his grandfather brought them back from the war.

No, the kid went to Japan on a mission to Kill Bill and had Hattori Hanzo fashion him a blade...

You guys spend a lot of energy discussing the stupidest details.


There is so much more that could be discussed but lets focus is on the origin of a sword instead......



REALLY?



I hate to be mean but I guess simple people discuss simple issues.

Simply Put.

I must agree, it's a comic guys, and a One off to tie in the Comic and the TV Show. A teenager wrongly displaying swords would be pretty much right. BTW, a 440 stainless steel blade would be more than adequate to lop a Zombie head off IMHO. I've got a Marto (Not UC) Connor Macleod Katana that would slice and dice these suckers no problem.

BTW, How about a Thank You for the Comic in the first place? In the downfall of civilization, manners is the first thing to go.

By all means enlighten us with a complex discussion regarding a fantasy show about a Zombie Apocalypse. We are all waiting.

Sure, first few heads, maybe. But it wouldn't last long, like the dumb ass sales guy who broke a wall hanger katana while smacking it on a table on live television and when it broke, instead of flexing like a real one would have, the blade flipped around and stabbed him in the gut. The blade was more dangerous to him than would have been to a walker. That's where the issue with Michonne's sword comes in, it needs to be more than a wall hanger and that's not common.

You do realize I posted the 6 page comic, a day before it even came right? Back on 03/19/12 post #1409

Check this out guys, it was no problem really!

With regards to the blade, it should be noted that I would have been the kid with a combat ready katana many moons ago if I hadn't set my priorities straight. And that flesh is rotten so I think clean cuts are simple tasks.

I just hope they can bring up the twisted details of the prison I've heard so much about.
