That makes no sense. Aren't Japanese comic books always called comic books? I'm pretty sure they follow a story...most of the time.

Well then just Google the definition and leave us alone.

Why do you keep jumping into conversations yet asking others to leave you alone?

Because I loathe petty disagreements. That's why.

You loathe being wrong?

Fuck off.

That's uncalled for. But still, are you sure you didn't get your answer backwards?

Trust whatever information you have. I was only trying to help. Graphic novels or comic books. It really doesn't matter much at all since the person who asked the question stopped reading the comic books and has only seen season one of a show that is in it's seventh season. Why is he here?

Alas, I've watched enough of the show to know it went downhill quickly. But I still plan to catch up on the comic books sometime. You're not helping though, as after a 5-post tirade everyone trying to get acquainted with comic people terminology just became even more confused. Does that simple question really warrant drama of such scale?

Well then correct the erroneous information rather than trying to make me feel bad about helping someone. Whatever the term is, graphic novel or comic book, be a fan of either or both before you start asking irrelevant questions.

I certainly didn't expect it at first that it would take so much space to answer that question. But after all these posts I still see two conflicting versions of information here and one isn't making much sense. Would you care to help anyone looking by clarifying?

Google it. Enough said.

You said you were helping people, so I've been listening. But I don't think after making all these posts and then telling the viewers to google themselves is really helping.

Oh well. I'm through discussing this.

If you were discussing it in the first place, why spending so much time not actually explaining what you said?

Because I don't think that that's my responsibility to explain anything. I assume that we are all adults and that this isn't a classroom in which I am the instructor/leader. Everyone is capable of doing their own research. Now if I was wrong then what does it matter? Surely being incorrect won't result in an earth shattering event. Right?

So, were you right or wrong? I'm still confused.

If you want the rigjt answer, Google it. See now I'm forced to tell you what to do when you should have already done that. What a waste of my time. I shouldn't have even tried to help anyone.

Were you helping anyone by making an answer then refusing to say if you yourself think it's correct or not?

Honestly I don't think the way you do. If something someone says doesn't make sense to me, I leave them alone and find what I need elsewhere. I don't stick around and harass that person for the correct answer especially when the question wasn't that important to the discussion to begin with.

Are you the one harassing people for calling out your intentionally misleading answers then?

Excuse me but the guy was already confused. I didn't get him there. That's why he asked the question. People ask questions when they are confused and are seeking clarification. And the last time I checked, confusion never killed anyone especially when the answer involves something as frivolous as the difference between a graphic novel and comic book. Which honestly is confusing in itself because first there were comic books and then graphic novels were invented. They both do the same thing. They both tell a story. If you purchase a volume of comic book issues, it looks like a book/novel and it's like reading a one long story and there is an ending just like a graphic novel. Same thing with Compendiums.

And honestly I have always felt that the term graphic novel was a glorified comic book.

So if our friend is still confused that's his problem not mine. He'll live. It's not as if I gave him the wrong directions to a hospital. Lol

Wow, talk about having to have the last word. This exchange has been quite comical.

I thought it was quite graphic.

He just wants me to answer in a certain way but the issue is a stupid one that for some reason he won't let go of.

He needed a comprehensive response so I obliged.

Has anyone read those? It would be interesting to contrast and compare, particularly with how the Neegan plot line is evolving.

It would end up being a seriously spoilerish thread, so people who don't read them should enter with caution,

I'm not going into detail because little things are added to the show that weren't part of the comic. So far the show is staying faithful to the comics with Negan. Most of Negan's scenes are panels taken straight from the source material. Except for the scenes involving Daryl because Daryl was made for the show. Rosita having Eugene make the bullet and then shooting Lucille is for the show. Denise doesn't die like that either. The Carol story arc isn't even in the comic because she died at the prison. Also Morgan's involvement in the rise up story arc is part of the show because in the source he died during the zombie horde attack on Alexandria.

Also, Andrea is alive and well, and playing house with Rick as his girlfriend. Michonne and Ezekial have a relationship, but as far as i can remember she is currently single.

Don't bother arguing with him. The little boy is embarrassed at not knowing the term graphic novel, so he's floundering with trying to find flaws in the explanation. There is no reasoning with a person who can't bear to be embarrassed. They'll go to any length to try to deflect.

When you encounter a person like that, just roll your eyes, hope that some day they'll get the therapy they desperately need, and ignore them. It's like trying to have a reasonably discussion with a drug addict. It's pointless.

I need therapy because I don't get embarrassed over a stupid question? If you're so helpful then why don't you answer his question then since you're so damn smart smart ass? The guy is still waiting around for an answer like a dumbass too. How come nobody else has answered the question since you're so sure that I'm wrong.

No. The guy who was arguing with you needs therapy. Read it again. Are you the "him" who was embarrassed because he didn't understand what a graphic novel is? I was saying HE'S not worth arguing with because HE'S nuts.

Fuck the walking dead boards. It wasn't IMDb, it's the damned show. It seems to bring out the worst in everyone.

You didn't quote so I thought you were talking to him about me.

TWD are comics, not a graphic novel. A graphic novel is one standalone story, like The Watchmen. TWD has multiple issues released periodically, making them a comic.
