I'd rather have a new story in season 2, with maybe a nod to the ending of 1. But I swear, if they make Jack the main character I will go to TTG's HQ and shit on their doorstep.
I think many people are referring to running after her, in which the screen cuts to black before the ending of it can be finished. I'm not a… more storytelling expert, but I would classify that as a cliffhanger. Personally, my theory is that Faith knew that Nerissa was going to snap and tell Georgie, so Faith went to Swineheart to ask that he try to save her after she is killed. After Georgie killed her, and Nerissa brought her head there, somehow Swineheart managed to get a hold of the body, and with his extremely wonderful surgical skills, pull off a miracle and reattach her head. Fables have been certainly dead, even more certain the beheading, and came back unexplained. Now, as I believe both Nerissa and Faith are alive, I do think it was Faith glamoured as Nerissa talking to Bigby at the end. Faith might want to live under the radar, and wanted a final chance to say goodbye to Bigby. To do this, she could have gone to Nerissa, so that she coul… [view original content]
I wouldnt exactly call it a cliffhanger, but I certainly think this is open for interpretation. I mean, come on, there are already a few major theories about all this (I personally support the one where it says that we never met Faith).
It starts with him investigating a death from a character completely unrelated to the game. And the story sucks. The comics suck in general. I've read through 12-13 issues, I think, and so far the art and the writing just can't cut it. Telltale outdid the source material, in my eyes.
Games are always better then the comics, they are more involving with the player, making them easy to get lose in, i havent got to read the comics yetbut i guess i'll have too at somepoint...once i finish off the deadpool stuff....

It's not just that, but the quality of the writing and art.
Willingham doesn't seem to be able to get lost in the world he writes. In any good piece of fiction the characters speak through the writer, yet Willingham speaks through the characters. To him they are objects that spout dialogue that move a structured plot that will have impact A on object B. A writer needs to be able to enter a state of ''directed delusion'' (as Stephen King once put it) where he himself believes that the world he's writing is real, and thus the characters stop acting of the writer's accord, but take on their own life as it were.
And then the art. Remember how in TWAU the colours seemed to both jump out at you in their vividness, yet meld together in harmony to create a special atmosphere of a fable-noir story? Well you can throw that right out the fucking window, 'cause the comics have none of that. Crappy, generic, bland colours and boring character designs that seem to be tailor-made so that the entire series seems unoriginal as fuck. As if using ancient as hell characters wasn't bad enough.

I agree that Preacher works more for the characters but I can't help but shake the feeling that they're going to make the tv series more about toned down versions of the shock scenes.
Hellblazer is occult noir, I guess would be how I'd describe it for the most part. It ran for so long and had so many writers who mostly did their own thing with it. The Garth Ennis run, the second half of which has art by Steve Dillion (they left to do Preacher), is incredibly strong and a nice jumping in place since it's all collected in trade formats. Some of the other writers never really get the character or get a little too navel gazing for their own good. When it works, it's one of the best titles ever released but it has a tendency to fall flat just as often. I haven't read the new reboot series.
AMC did a good job with Breaking Bad, and the first season of The Walking Dead was good (stopped mid 3rd season because I was so sick of the… more shit writing and C-grade Spanish soap-opera acting so I'm thinking the Preacher series will be OK. They'll definitely need to cut down on some of the more visceral material (Jesus de Sade's little party, anyone?), but I never read Preacher for the shock moments, I read it for the characters. Even Herr Starr was lovable in his own fucked up way.
Never read Hellblazer. It's on my list, but I'm on the fence. What's it like, in your opinion?
I would prefer another season to tell us 100% what happened. You never know, They could of made us think one thing when it's there is something else going on.
I gave Hellblazer a shot, the first four issues I think. First two were strong, but then it kind of lost steam because I think 5 and 6 started with characters I couldn't care about. I know it gradually fell back on Constantine, but I just couldn't care enough. Think I'll do what you said and start with the Ennis run.

People might disagree with me, but I could honestly see Woody being a possible Season 2 protagonist. (Would be better than Jack, tbh.)
I think the ending is to set up the comics that it is based off, I tihnk it starts with him investigating a fake death
That's actually my theory, lol! And I thought nobody was buying my theory on Swineheart... :-P
Anyway, I think that's a cliffhanger because there's DLC coming and maybe we will get to confront the girl in it, getting more answers and closure.

Jesus Christ, that's an awesome idea! Woody was a great character. Not a goody two shoes, but still lovable in his own way.
