No offense intended here, but why the heck are there two novels starring what I've been told is a slightly notable minor character in a story arc that's been over for quite some time?

It gets worse. Have you seen the cover to the Return to Woodbury novel? (Nobody can convince me that the retcon hasn… more't been removed unless Lilly shows up in-game again.)
This is literally Lilly's "A New Day" attire, and she does look very similar.
Actually, iirc there are at least/about 8 novels starring her, with the only ones not revolving around her being the first and third. Besides the newest one and the first 3, they don't cover/retread the governor/Woodbury arc in any way afaik.

Honestly, from what I've seen, the novel stuff sounds pointless and stupid and just to cash in without having to draw any more pictures. (Who does novels based on comics? It's just silly. Do a Lilly Mini-series or something) But I digress.
Aside from shitting all over the video game for no discernible reason (could have easily worked in her backstory) and then mocking it by having Lilly look like the game character on the cover and mentioning Lee Everett's name in the book, what was the point of stupid stuff like "The Governor was using his brother's name all along, and it was his zombie niece in the comic, not his daughter!" Wow, what a shocking swerve, Kirkman. Took all you all night to think up that one, huh? Too bad you never actually bothered to explain why the Governor actually turned into such a crazy pedophiliac fuck. Which you know, would be the whole POINT of a book like this. And did it really matter if Lilly survived or not? She must have had like 3 lines of dialogue in the comic.

That's my thought as well. And I don't even read the comics.
mentioning Lee Everett's name in the book,
Wasn't he Lilly's dad in the book or something like that?

Oh, so THAT's where that particular shit came from!

Nope. Comic!Lilly's father's first name is Everett. Also, Lee being her father makes ZERO sense.
Steamed that the game is way better than the comic, that's what I think. Jealous and salty as fuck. "Nooo your Lilly backstory isn't good enough even though I signed off on the game!"
Oh, so THAT's where that particular shit came from!
What shit is that? I don't think it applies to the TV show version of the Governor, though they could have retconned that too. I like the name Phillip better, too.
Someone told me about the whole "he's actually using his envied brother's name" thing. This was quite some time after reading that he kept his toothless niece's walker around to fuck around with, mind you.

Yeah. And as far as I know, it was never even explained why he become a necrophiliac pedophile.
Just "the world is crazy now." 10/10 writing, Kirkman.
The governor is one of the things the show did better. He was not a 1-dimensional mustache twirling villain that eats babies and kicks dogs.

Could be, but I haven't dared to read it. I probably wouldn't read a free PDF of it. Maybe I'd skim it.
But yeah, "Get back at him by vomiting when I try to kiss his zombie daughter. That'll show him"
I thought the implication with the book would've been that it was partially to get back at his brother?
But yes, the comic sounds incredibly shitty the more people told or showed me about it.
Fire up 7 Days To Die
Use Molly skin so I can be an edgy loner girl with a dead younger sister
Find some grain alcohol
Drink it and get an empty bottle
Scrap the bottle to get broken glass
Eat the broken glass

Don't ask, but at first glance I thought Kenny was holding a camera... 0,_,0
Literal template use is best use.
Mild spoiler from the latest episode of the TV show.

When you're TWDG af but the fandom is dead af.
We're just imitating the characters.
Rebecca and Ben were spot on.
Lol Kenny and Alvin

Okay, rant over. I feel better now.

That's what I thought. Thanks!
What the hell was up with that writer's thought process there?

Is she? I can't see past that blurry foggy filter the stupid game has.
Sort of, but not really. Those two came up with separate jokes(with the latter referring to Fern(?)) and I just combined them.
Tag yourself! I am Javi, except I am a girl...
I don’t get the Javier one
I think I’m Luke and a bit of Javi too.

Two terms that go hand in hand.
First time posting on here. Love Sarah. Loathe Jane.
Delicious!
Also, as arguably OOC as two of those may be, they are oddly cathartic despite how late they are.
