    Well that was an interesting last line in episode 130.
    The dead, they were speaking

    Certainly interesting. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a fake-out though.
    Kirkman has been largely uninterested in fleshing out or developing any actual zombie mythology, preferring to simply treat the walking dead as a backdrop for a story of human survival. It would go against form for him to start expanding on the zombie concept now, although on the other hand he's probably running out of material to write about and looking to new avenues for plots anyway.

    My understanding was
    When we saw them talking, I assumed it was people who were hiding among or herding the zombies. Even if they were talking, you wouldn't expect them to be able to speak so clearly

    If the title of the next instalment isn't
    The talking dead, then a real opportunity will have been missed.

    Well that was a filler episode. Sets a few things up for the last issue in volume 22 though I guess.

    Have I missed something regarding
    Michonne? Or are we all in the dark about what that line meant

    Filler issue. In the letter hacks section they say
    Don't forget, we got two issues coming next month! And the next one's so surprising, you'll be glad the following one isn't so far behind

    Hopefully something to smash them out of this boring utopia phase.

    Every time I sit down to read a new issue I seem to get through it even quicker than the last one. I'll stick with it cos it's The Walking Dead but for me it's all about the TV show now.

    It has actually come full circle for me as I started reading the comics during Season 2 of the show and I was definitely much more interested in the comic at the time. Now it's the complete opposite. Such a shame.

    Anyone still reading?

    I've read up to #132 & I don't know what to think. Interesting storyline in the last issue but not sure how I really feel about it. Tempted to stick with it for the sake of it but it's just not doing it for me the last few issues. The prison & Alexandria have been the best storylines so far obviously because of the Governor & Negan.

    On another note I'm fully up to date on the video game, it's brilliant, season 2 may have been even better than season 1. Highly recommend it.

    I haven't read it since the 1st issue of the new chapter. Agreed on the game but thought the 1st season was better. That 1st season had a better story arc than any part of the comic or tv show.

    in the panels before this one of Dante's companions is stabbed by a "walker", Dante kills the "walker" and notices the corpse looks wrong. He pulls of the "walkers face" and finds a normal person under it. hence why I said "Leatherface" above. The "walkers" arent sentient. Its people in disguise.

    is the eugune being a bull****ter about the cure a spoiler or is it obvious to tv shows watchers.

    I read the comics and I would believe he's got a cure, or at least the idea for a cure after this episode.

    Having read the comics up to a point I'm starting to think that they've maybe changed the Eugene cure angle somewhat, how much will remain to be seen.

    I don't think so, in the latest tv episode, when asked about it, you can see a small bit of 'oh crap, they're asking me about it again' and then giving a smile after his explanation like he was really happy he was able to think of something so smart. Dude's still a fraud but I'm liking him in the show.

    Yeah, I think it'll still go the same way and he'll be a fraud in the end. I'm liking him though, even with his silly mullet.

    (What an episode btw!)

    The whole Eugene reveal in the comics was a big moment and it'll be the same for the TV series

    Not a hope in hell of them changing Eugene to an actual scientist with the cure.

    Just remembered that God-awful CDC plotline from earlier seasons, surprised that didnt kill the show tbh, talking female computer and everything.

    Non comic reader here. Was suspicious of Eugene the moment he opened his mouth last year. Guessed he was spinning his crew the cure spiel to keep himself protected. Pretty much confirmed in the new season when his answers to the questions about the cure were so generic/non specific. Felt safe popping my head in here as either my suspicions would be confirmed or it'd turn out he was genuine which I don't care about anyway as it's not a storyline I really care about. Also felt safe as I'd already had the batty character death spoiled for me last year.

    So these new baddies are a bit creepy, eh? Although I don't know what to make of them somehow taking out almost all of the lads on horseback. You'd imagine they'd be keeping an eye out for dead-looking people coming at them.

    I was pretty sure that Eugene was full of sh!t about having a magic cure. What happens to him in the comics when everyone else finds out? Do they give him an ass whooping?
