5 fan questions about The Walking Dead answered for May 27, 2017

#5. Crossing over between mediums
Bryan Dinsdale on Facebook: “I would like to know … Glenn, Jesus, and Michonne have done a cross over in Telltale’s Walking Dead games … Could we expect to see maybe Lee or Clementine or anyone else turning up in The Walking Dead show.”
So, this is GREAT timing for this question. The cover for issue 170 shows Eugene, Michonne, Magna, and Siddiq on their travels toward what most fans are assuming will be Ohio, the place where the Telltale Games are currently happening.
It makes many fans wonder…are the radio transmission that Eugene was hearing originating from The New Frontier or another group up there? Or are they coming from a different location in the region where other survivors could be introduced?
If Clementine and the other survivors from the Telltale Games are to be introduced, it will happen when the survivors check out what is happening in Ohio. However, since the games aren’t exactly cannon when going along with the comics or shows, there is a chance that the characters from the comics will get there and nobody familiar at all will be there…or the time frame will be WAY off.
Having characters from Telltale join the comics would be fantastic, but there is a huge risk that muddling them together might ruin the unique situations that each one can provide for fans and may not be worth the co-mingling. It will be interesting to see how Image, Skybound, Telltale, and even AMC tackle this topic in the future.
