The Walking Dead: Who’s Going to Die Before Season 3 Ends?

Posted on by


Recently Natalie Abrams of TV Guide posted her odds for The Walking Dead: Who’s Going to Die Before Season 3 Ends?

I’ll post her odds and my thoughts.  Beware there is a major spoiler if you’re not up-to-date with  watching the show.

Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln)
Odds: 100:1
Thoughts: Rick is the star of the show.  I can’t see them killing him off in the tv series unless The Walking Dead runs a long time.  I could see it happening (in the comic and tv show) once Carl is old enough to survive on his own.  Wouldn’t that be interesting if Kirkman had always planned for Carl to be the star?

Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs)
Odds: 99:1
Thoughts: I’d say Carl is one of the safest, if not the safest of all the characters.  He’s become interesting this season since he toughened up.

Beth Greene (Emily Kinney)
Odds: 80:1
Thoughts: I could see her character going either way… surviving or being killed off.  She’s a tough one to call.

Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride)
Odds: 50:1
Thoughts: She’s slowing toughening up and her (potential) relationship with Daryl could prove interesting.

Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus)
Odds: 35:1
Thoughts: Daryl is safer than Rick and possibly even Carl.  His character is too popular to kill.

Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun)
Odds: 30:1
Thoughts: Glenn’s days are numbered… if his character follows the path of the comic.  He should be okay to last this season though.

Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan)
Odds: 25:1
Thoughts: I’d be shocked to see Maggie killed off… although if they are going for shock value, she would be a good choice.

Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson)
Odds: 15:1
Thoughts: I’d hate to see him bite the dust, but Hershel’s days are numbered.

Michonne (Danai Gurira)
Odds: 10:1
Thoughts: Michonne is a safe as can be.  I see her right up there with Rick, Carl and Daryl.

Andrea (Laurie Holden)
Odds: 7:1
Thoughts: Andrea wanted to die in season two.  She may get her wish in season three.

Milton Mamet (Dallas Roberts)
Odds: 4:1
Thoughts: Milton is a minion of the Governor… and we all know what happens to minions.  If he was on Star Trek, he’d be wearing a red shirt.

Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker)
Odds: 3:1
Thoughts: If you’re caught up on watching the show, you know that Merle ended up wanting “braaains.”

The Governor (David Morrissey)
Odds: 2:1
Thoughts: The Gov is going to be killed at some point… but will he make it to season four?  I’d say, “Yes” but what do I know?

Captain America and the Celebrity Bar

Posted on by

CBR.com runs a regular feature where they post “Easter Eggs” hidden in comics.  These are drawings of actors, other comic companies characters and the like in the background of stories.  I love stuff like this. 

This week’s installment looks at Captain America #401 by Mark Gruenwald, Rik Levins and Danny Bulanadi.  It is packed with appearances by famous folks such as Dick Tracy, Reid Flemming: The World’s Toughest Milk Man, James Bond, Elvis Presley, The Adams Family, and more.

This issue is a lot of fun for eagle-eyed readers!

MegaCon or Bust!

Posted on by

This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, my buddy, John Beatty and I are going to be in Orlando hanging out with several thousand other like-minded folks.  Yep, it’s time for MegaCon. 

John is going as a guest  of the show.  That means while John is sketching for fans, I’ll either be hanging at his table keeping the fun at it’s maximum level or I’ll be visiting with other artists/friends looking to get a sketch or two for my Stallone Sketch theme collection.

If you’ve never been to MegaCon, you’re missing out.  There’s something for everyone.  There are celebrity guests, comic book creators, dozens of artists sketching for fans, panels, gaming, and more.

If you’re in driving distance of the show, come on down.  If not, there’s always next year.  Hope to see you there!

100 Bullets’ Lono is Back!

Posted on by


100 Bullets by writer Brian Azzarello, artist Eduardo Risso, colorist Trish Mulvihill, letterer Clem Robbins and cover artist Dave Johnson ran for 100 issues and was one of the best crime comics ever.  When it ended, most fans appreciated that the story was done, but hated the loss of their monthly crime fix.

Now, nearly three years later, the entire creative team is returning to bring us a limited series which not only takes place in the same universe as 100 Bullets, but features one of the series most popular characters, Lono.

It’s like Christmas came early.

If you want to learn more about Brother Lono, you can thanks to this interview at Newsarama.

Jock’s “Zero Dark Thirty” – Secret Mission Indeed

Posted on by

Have you seen this poster for Zero Dark Thirty?

It was drawn by Jock for @MondoNews.  Jock sent it out to his Twitter followers and pointed out that the soldiers coming down the ropes spell out Zero Dark Thirty.

Did you catch that just from looking at the poster?  I didn’t, but love that Jock was creative enough to add that extra layer.

Well played, sir.

Guy Pearce, Iron Man 3 & a Suggested Role

Posted on by

I’m a Guy Pearce fan.  He may be the most under-rated actor today.  Pearce is always good and brings something different to each role.

So, I’m glad to see Guy Pearce is going to be in Iron Man 3.  That’s definitely a plus.

Looking at this poster though, the first thing that went through my mind was, if I was casting an updated Miami Vice, I know who would play Sonny Crockett.
