You studied art then moved on to architecture. I hope that my fame, if I have any, is not because I’m different from others but because of the Cube and its content.

When you're under attack from overwhelming numbers and bullets are flying, there is no miraculous escape. Well that was bleak.It's always been one of The Walking Dead's main strengths that it doesn't shy away from the consequences of the situations into which its characters are placed. ![]() |
