[Yuta]

Just curious. And sorry if someone has asked this already.

It might be worth picking up if you wanted to see what happens to Hershel and Glenn after they part with Lee.

Spoiler alert: horrible, horrible deaths.

They are all in the same universe however the different platforms take a slightly different takes on the stories.

They are technically in the same universe. But the game follows the comic continuity as far as I know.Though, if they( the show and game) don't contradict each other, I don't see a problem with putting them in the same continuity.

Where are people getting this??? The comic follows the TV show more closely than the TT games. The comic revolves around Rick just like the TV show.

I didnt keep up to date with the comics, but i am almost certain there is no Clementine in the comics and certainly not in the first 4 years of the book, that i know for sure, because i have read them.

There is no Clem in the comics, but they are in the same universe. It's just that the 2 groups( Rick's and Lee's) never met each other. The events that happen happen in the comic happen in TT's games, but we never see them in game cause we follow a different group.

At least that's my understanding. Whether the games are considered canon or not by Kirkman, is another story.

The TV show is a reteling( sort of) of the same story as in the comic, but they change stuff. Think of it as a parallel universe.

LOL, you could say that about practically everyone in TWD.

If you look on the Wiki, the comic entries for Shawn Greene, Herschel Greene, and Glenn start with the season 1 video game incarnation's Wiki page being linked. Season 1 was initially made in collaboration with Robert Kirkman for it to be the canon. Lilly was supposed to be the same way, but Kirkman and Telltale released conflicting material, and the two Lillys became two separate people.

Yeah, I knew about Lilly. Didn't pay attention to the wiki pages though, so thank for the info.

. The game and the comic are set within the same canon. The TV show is a seperate standalone adapation of the source materaial which was stated from the beginning would feature deviation from the source material which it does. As the game and the comic are part of the same canon and the TV show by extension they do contadict each other.

There are numerous ways the TV show differs from the comic.

Shane never meets Hershel for example.

Yeah, lot of people clearly don't read a lot of comics and don't get the concept of shared continuity. TWD TV and comics, having same characters but different events, are not the same universe, they're actually alternate universes from one another. The game is in the comics universe and continuity, it exists parallel to it.

This.

That being said, videogame characters could make an appearance in the TV show since it´s another alternative reality where they can exist but their journey is different from the videogame. I actually want this to happen to some short of degree, but I think it will be pretty imposible.
