The Walking Dead: Painting Comic Book Style!

Hobbies

1 comment By David

The Walking Dead: All Out War is the fantastic new tabletop miniatures board game from Mantic Games, based of the Robert Kirkman's best selling comic book series.

So it was a great choice for my first hobby project of 2017, as it enabled me to try out a completely new painting style utilising black & white techniques to emulate pen style comic book illustration. Now it's time to see how things turned out…

Interview With Robert Kirkman, author of the Walking Dead!

Books

2 comments By Brooke

The Walking Dead has been a global phenomenon, and with the release of the latest collected volume What Comes After, we have an interview to give you an insight into the man himself.

You’ve recently surpassed 100 issues of The Walking Dead. This far in, when you’re making the book, is it still the same as when you started? How is making it different now, or is it?

Robert Kirkman: It’s funny, I try to make the book the same way, but sometimes I think about how different I am, you know, I’ve been working on this for 100 issues. When I started the book, I was living in a very bad part of the town in Kentucky I lived in, I had just gotten married to my wife, we had no children, I was very very very young, and now that I’m writing issue 100, we’re definitely in a different place in our lives, there is a TV show and all this other nonsense going on, and I have a six year old son and a three year old daughter, which is really blowing me away. The process is still the same; I’m still at my laptop, by myself, banging out script, making sure that Charlie [Adlard, The Walking Dead artist] has pages, and I’m committed to the book. I love it almost more than I did in the early days, just because of the uncertainty of being able to tell my story for as long as I want has to a certain extent faded, so I actually can be, “Oh, I can do this now, and in 20 issues I can do this,” and I can actually build to things with much more certainty. But it is kind of ridiculous to think about just how early in the story I still feel like I am, like I’m at issue 100 and I really feel like I just started, which sounds ridiculous but it’s really exciting for me.

How are you able to keep it fresh, writing it for yourself, and not just like, “Oh, another issue of Walking Dead”?

Award-winning Walking Dead out this week!

Games

1 comment By Che

The award-winning The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 is releasing this week! The game has won numerous Game of the Year awards, and game critics have had nothing but praise for for it…

“The Walking Dead: The Game is like a coloring book: we each have the same black and white sketch, but it's up to us to fill it in as we see fit. The relationships I've built, the emotions I've felt, the choices I've made – that's what makes The Walking Dead: The Game so endearing.” – 9.3/10, IGN

“This is a sad game that will weigh heavy on you long after you've completed it–it even wrung some honest tears out of me on a couple of occasions. But you'll suffer through the emotional swings because they're ultimately worth it. No matter how depressing, gut-wrenching, or flat-out horrifying The Walking Dead gets, you will want–nay, need–to finish it. It's just that good.” – 5/5, Giant Bomb

The game is releasing on Friday and stock is limited for NZ – pre-order now to secure your copy and score release day delivery anywhere in NZ!
