Since Lilly TT is no longer the same Lilly in the comic books, would she return?
Would Lilly see a return to the game? I don't recall, but is her last name mentioned in the game? If not, what would her last name be, and do the 2 Lillys' dads have the same first names?

I think it was confirmed by TT that they are now separate characters
But I know it's true
Because Kirkman made a book about Lilly's backstory called "Road to Woodbury." it contradicts the game
It never mentions Lilly and Larry's last name in the game. Only in the novel was she ever referred to as Lilly Caul. Lilly's dad's name in the novel is named Everett.
So because her last name wasn't mentioned in the game, I can buy the two characters being different Lillys. Lilly is only in the comics for just a few panels, anyway. It would have been a lot worse if they had contradicted Glenn or Hershel.
Because it's been confirmed they are separate people, I think an appearance in season 2 is entirely possible.
That is good since it makes Lilly Caul and Lilly in the game two separate characters without any in game retcons other than the minor achievement.
They were
I can be mistaken, but didn't they retconned Glenn's hometown from Michigan to somewhere in Georga? I thought in the TT episode 1, he stated that he was raised in around there. I could be wrong.
Glenn did say in the game he was raised in that area in Georgia, but I can't remember if he ever said he was from Michigan in the comics. I know he said he was from Michigan on the show. The show also changed Rick's hometown. So if Glenn never said he was from Michigan in the comics, then the continuity is still intact (unless he did mention that and I just can't remember it).
Clem will propably be there to.
even if Lee never side with lilly she is looking after clem - but i dont think she will come back as the new caretaker,unless the DLC would follow her insted
anything that happens to Clemintine beyond that is due to general group stupidity or walkers. Lilly had no reason to shoot Ben except blind superstition, plus it isnt a reason to kill anyone just cause she lost her papa. She had no right.
P.S: We are having an argument over a game. Funny.
Kenny went through more emotional trauma than Lilly did(watching his wife commit suicide and killing his own son), but he never "snapped" and killed someone unrelated to those events. If Kenny can control his emotions, Lilly has no excuse.
We know why she did it, but she was still in the wrong. I wasn't trying to be rude, though.
I agree. Still if they write it right I'm all for Lilly coming back. I trust Telltale.
Yes, but you won't be in the mind of Lee the next time you see her. There's no way that the option to kill a girl you just met will pop up in front of Russel or Vince or Bonnie or whoever!
I concur...she was a well written character.
Same here man tried ever witch way I could to go with her
Really it all just depends on how it is written. Lilly coming back could make perfect sense... or could seem ridiculous. I have faith in Telltale though.
Yeah, but until that "book" makes it into the actual comic book, and "on panel" I'm going to assume that story isn't 100% canon either. Robert Kirkman just seemed butthurt that he hadn't done anything with Lily, and Telltale was able to do it before him. Seriously, she was the biggest connection to the comics aside from Glen.
Easy fix would have the book connect to the AMC series, instead of the comic, but I have a feeling Kirkman wouldn't go for it. Seriously, until either the game or comic contradict each other, it's fine to think of her as the same Lily that appears in the comic, and that was the original intent anyway.
Otherwise, we just have a book that contradicts the game and comic, instead of the other way around. That's how I will always look at it, until Kirkman himself reintroduces Lily in the comic. Not a book, not the AMC series, and definitely not just because "he said so."
If Kirkman wrote it, it is cannon. The Walking Dead is his creation not Telltale and I am sure he wasn't really "butthurt" (I hate that term it really is just...Ya..) He had played episode one before it was even released. If he was upset about the Lily character I am sure he would have made them change it. He does after all have final say. I really don't mind one way or the other if she is comic Lily or not She was a good character and I hope to see her again. She did her job well she made the "Babyface" fans hater her and the "Heel" fans love her. Personally her killing Carley with out solid proof was the only thing I disliked that she did. I hold no malice to her at all. She did what she was created to do.
It's canon, not cannon, and of course Robert Kirkman has final say, but he's really missing/missed an opportunity here.
Butthurt wasn't exactly the term I was looking for, but it was the closest description I could come up with. It just doesn't seem very coincidental to have "Lee" as a character in a book about Lilly, and also release it around the time Lilly was getting known better as a character because of Telltale's TWD. It's kind of a George Lucas thing to do, really.
Like I said, though. Until the comic or game contradicts one another, it's still canon as far as I'm concerned. I mean Kirkman helped write some of the show too (the reason why it could be an easy fix if he attached it to AMC's version), but that doesn't make it canon to the comics or Telltale's The Walking Dead, after all, so the point is moot.
