You in TWD
Sometimes i like to think of comics as alternate realities like Dc/Marvel has the mutli-verse. The Walking Dead is no exception i like to think that since its an alternate universe that i exist somewhere. I just wonder where.
But where do you think you would be? Would you be in a group surviving or will you walk among the dead?

I think I would be in a group surviving, a small group, hopefully with a good leader(probably Comic Rick) and adults with some military experience or any experience that can help with survival.
you have no hope for yourself.
Me since the outbreak started in the summer i would be down south near Georgia so maybe i'll be alive
With good reason. I live in a highly populated area and my best weapons are a baseball bat and a two inch switchblade knife. And I don't know a single person who owns a gun.
- Or I would be really late in noticing the zombies, seeing I'll be sitting on my couch stoned, with my curtains closed. It'll be a Rick Grimes kinda moment where I'll go outside and think: WTF? ... or maybe rather Shaun of the Dead style.
- Or I'll be dead meat within seconds. I'm a fat guy so I don't run all that fast...
2. Find a gun
3. Opt out
I don't know anyone who owns a gun either and my best weapons in the house right now is a hammer x)
I'm in good health, can shoot and I know how to fight in close quarters. And while I'm a nice person, generally, ruthlessness and pragmatism are equal parts of my personality. And I take personal survival.. very seriously. Combine that with the fact I just don't panic.... I'd be fine... as long as I didn't join a group.
The average person - far too likely to get killed and get others killed on the way out.....
I find it hard to believe that an average person is like Ben.
So Ben or Shane - either way they're a liability.
The second thing is the most important. If my husband were home with me, I'd be okay. He grows a mean garden, knows a lot of survival skills, can McGyver damn near anything he needs, can build almost anything, and is a good shot with plenty of guns and his own reloading equipment, with enough supplies to last quite awhile. We live in the country, so I believe he could fortify our place against the few people that might happen this way. If I'm home alone..well, I can shoot. I can grow food. But my health isn't super, so fortification work and running would be out. I'd be toast pretty quickly on my own.
My father was a police officer that used to collect weapons, so finding one is not a problem. I know how to hit moving targets more or less accurate.
The first thing I'd do is find my friend for many reasons, aside from personal, she knows how to handle a weapon and has decent navigation skills. Together, we would survive long enough to find some kind of group to join with.
My personality is pretty usual, actually: I'm calculative, cold and mostly emotionless in stressful situations. Blood, corpses and dead people in general don't affect me in any way.
My friend is, unfortunately, the opposite: she's VERY emotional, and I have no idea how she'd react to zombie apocalypse, heh.
Our city is located on the river, so it is possible for us to find a boat and escape the land within few hours.
Anyway, I think we have pretty decent chance of surviving and making our way somewhere safe...
O.o good luck with that, more fresh corpses arrive every day as the survivors fall, so you'll be waiting for a long time.
It depends on what type of zombies we'd be encountering.
Fast zombies - we're all dead, and those who have the experience, knowledge, tactics, etc. to survive the initial onslaught will fall sooner rather than later. They're just too dangerous.
Slow zombies - large portion of humanity would probably fall in the first weeks, and those who survive will likely fall prey to death eventually. We all make mistakes, no matter how well prepared we may be.
It was "You in TWD"... So, you in this universe.
I'd be dead either way. I'd get eaten before i could come to terms that this is really happening.
I have a BB gun or Pellet gun as we call it here and i know how to shoot. Since the pellets are really light, i have to practice and observe the environment (wind speed and direction) to get a good shot. So probably id know how to shoot a gun and maybe hit my target. (as long as its not as fast as an olympic runner, or else I'm fucked)
My friend has a sniper rifle he bought and it could pierce metal but its not a real gun. Its an airsoft gun but heavy duty.
Id probably join a group in my village. My village is gated, and not many people live here since the lots are expensive. I know a friend whose father has a hunting rifle.
I know some martial arts, specifically Aikido and Taekwondo and some CQC i learned from random video, games, demos. Also i like keeping sticks or whatever. In aikido i have something called a jo, a bamboo stick (not hollow) and we have some sharp knives downstairs.
But its pretty useless if i am caught off guard. Id probably be down in a minute if a random zombitch runs and busts in my room. I am terrible when im down on the floor.
Id guess id survive for 6 months. Water wont be a problem, we have a filter here and replacement packs.
I can't see a way how I could survive during my working time without tons of luck.
During holidays or outside work there would be a chance of surviving. Well I know a lot of guys with hunting rifles, I know houses on the near mountains and in the forests but yeah... I think in an outbreak I would finally starve because I would be much to frightened for a meele combat and just shooting isn't possible all the time (and it can make things even worse)
EDIT: So only real survival chance would be to become randomly part of a bigger group in which I would be able to overtake the medical part or some stuff like that. Otherwise I don't see a lot of chance for a longer time.
the government created AIDS soon the zombie virus.
I really hope you're joking.
Unless its fast zombies. I'd fare about as well as Doug would if I got attacked by a fast zombie.
Yeah, and I'm the Easter Bunny.
I own as of now, a .40 XD S&W, a Mossberg 500 12ga 18inch tactical shotgun, a Tactical SKS with bayonet, Remington SPS 700 .223 with 24 powered dual plane scope, Sig Suaer .22 pistol, 2 rugar semi-auto .22 rifles, Old Russian mosin nagant, and looking to buy another pistol in the 9mm. All of which have between 100-500 rounds.
I could last a while living in the mountains with my hunting/fishing/camping experience, plus a low population living in the northern part of the state, along with natural traps and cliffs for any walker who stumbles up the mountain...
I like to think i would last, but when it comes down to it, who really knows right?
