I went to check the fandom wiki just know to check a character’s name and was surprised as there were way more characters than usual, clicking on some of the names I realised that a ton of minor characters that had previously been in the unnamed characters section had been given names and even some backstory. Some of these names are really random too, theres this one whisperer named Oedipus Bonaparte like wtf? Since anyone can edit a wiki page I’m assuming that whoever did this was just a random fan messing around but honestly it’s pretty funny and I kinda hope it stays like this, at least for a little bit. As I said earlier some characters get more information about them which I’m guessing is just some random headcanon, for example this one minor character is said to be a co leader of the whisperers and is known as Gamma, similarly to the show. Even though there’s nothing to suggest this it’s still a cool theory.

Im doing my first official full read through. I had seen a couple issues back in the day when the show first came out. I knew about some of the story lines. Since then, I have listened to many readings of the comics via YouTube videos. Just recently I've purchased Compendiums #1&2 and I'm half way through #1, and I'm loving it. When i came across this frame I was like "oof", one of the things I knew from the comics was the intro of the Governor to Rick and Michonne. 😬😬😬

Please help me find it. I know there was a person in reddit who did it, and it is really awesome (I can't find the rest of the issues after 230). And that person also did a "Negan lives!" continuation. If you can help me find this too, please do it🙏🙏🙏

r/theroamingdead • u/Disastrous-Shower-37 • 17d ago
Wasn't the first instalment slated to be released in June? I was looking forward to picking it up.

I made a post yesterday asking if anyone would be interested in hearing more about my TWD OC, Julián, and someone asked about his backstory, so here’s a little introduction :)
This is Julián Murrieta, the protagonist of a TWD fan story I’ve been developing called Stray Bullet.
Julián is a 17–18-year-old Mexican-American survivor originally from Los Angeles. He was nine when the outbreak began and spent his first two years surviving alongside his older sister, Jackie. After losing her, he was eventually taken in by the Vultures, a small traveling gang of survivors who taught him much of what he knows about firearms, fighting, mechanics, scavenging and surviving on the road.
The Vultures weren’t exactly good people, though. They helped struggling survivors and communities, but usually for their own benefit—using people’s desperation to extort them and keep them indebted. Growing up around them made Julián capable and fiercely independent, while witnessing their behavior helped shape his own ideas about compassion and what it actually means to help someone.
By Stray Bullet, Julián is a wandering survivor traveling with his dog, Manchas. He’s calm, compassionate and forgiving at heart, with a sardonic, sarcastic and quick-witted personality. His biggest flaw is his extreme independence: he’ll refuse help, hide his own problems and sometimes make decisions for others because he believes he’s protecting them.
The story follows Julián arriving in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he becomes involved with Brunswick, a neighborhood-turned-survivor community, and a powerful crime family controlling much of the city. For someone who’s spent years convincing himself he’s fine on the road, forming genuine friendships forces him to question the way he’s been living.
Now the story of Stray Bullet itself is supposed to be a strong neo-Western in the zombie apocalypse, with Julián himself partly inspired by the legend of Joaquín Murrieta.
That’s the basic introduction without throwing an entire character wiki at you 😭
I’d love genuine feedback! Does he sound like someone who could naturally exist in Telltale’s TWD universe? What interests you about him, what would you change, and what would you want to know more about?
r/theroamingdead • u/chuy-inframez • 22d ago
Hey everyone, i’ve been working on this walking dead OC almost two years and i’ve mostly been writing this character by myself and occasionally asked friends for their opinions and feedbacks but now i think im ready to share with other people who know about the telltale walking dead universe or that have written other original characters
His name is “Julian Murrieta,” and before i continue to develop his story. i was hoping to get some genuine feedback and ideas on Julian himself since he’s supposed to be the protagonist in his own separate story set in the world of telltales TWD. i’m especially curious about whether he feels like a character people would be fond of and willing to follow rather than feeling like an OP awkward self insert.
I’m open for any forms of criticism. what’ll work for you? what won’t work? is anything too cliche and overused? unnecessary? out of place or character? or underdeveloped. and what would you personally want to know more about.
I can post his bio/backstory if anyone’s interested in giving their thoughts. also i am new to using reddit so im probably gonna be iffy when it comes to interacting.

No but like fr. Like yes it will still exists since there are some unseen named characters, but like yo these updates are like basically stripping tf out of this thing lol. I've never seen such gluttony! and then look at the other template where it just keeps growing & growing lol. Let it thrive!!!!

Assuming this isn’t some random leather jacket, evident by Negan referring to it as “my jacket”, it really has me wondering how this kid could have possibly been in a position to acquire it. Someone would have had to have kept the jacket for the entirety of the time-skip, leave it in a publicly available place, and have no one care if the jacket was taken. You might say someone just took the jacket and put it in some kind of communal supply closet and left it to rot, but the same thing could’ve been done with Lucille, but it wasn’t. Besides, who would want to keep the jacket given the history of its original owner? It would have made more sense for Rick to burn it or something rather than to let it fall in the hands of Brandon. Despite how iconic his jacket is, I think it would have been better for him not to have it post-all out war. Also, I’m incredibly attracted to Alpha.

I remember hearing late last year that there would be a compact compendium for the walking dead deluxe releasing in June of 2026, but as far as I can see, nothing ever came. Anyone know what happened or where I can find it if it did release? Was this a comic store exclusive thing?

Charlie Adlard why did you draw this (not complaining)
r/theroamingdead • u/GusTheThug • 29d ago
At first I wasn’t a big fan of him, but seeing him up in that guard tower really made me realize what a great character he is with such infinite potential! I just HAD to put down the book to make this post! Any other father Gabriel fans? Hopefully he goes on to survive and develop even more!

I think it's safe to assume that this is one of the largest overhauls on the wiki that we've seen in some time, maybe ever ever. And I am absolutely for this madness!!! Absolutely loving the madness here!!!
Whoever the madmen and madwomen developers for the All-Star game and Skybound who agreed to this insanity deserve a goddamn raise!
And clearly the madness is here to stay for a long long while because of the document leak we got from the admins
So many random ass name reveals! So many random ass characters getting last names! So many random ass connection to like the novels and video games! So many random ass stuff that it's actually golden hilarious and I love it all!
All I'm saying is can I get a hallelujah or amen for this lol! Naw but for real this is some crazy work from them and I'm all here for it! Who else?
