DARYL DIXON HAS ARRIVED

TWD, The Walking Dead, AMC, Norman Reedus, Daryl DixonIf you don't know who "Daryl Dixon" is, then you clearly do not watch AMC's "The Walking Dead" where Norman Reedus brings the character to life. Or there is a small chance that you only read the comic book from which the hit series originates from. That would be acceptable as the character "Daryl Dixon" is one of the few who were created for the television series instead of being pulled from the pages of the comic book.

That is about to change. Image and Skybound Comics is bringing the roughneck to life within the pages of "The Walking Dead". The character made famous by Norman Reedus' portrayal is making his comic book debut in issue #129. The highly anticipated debut happens this summer on the Wednesday that is July 16th, 2014.

Just how much will this rendition be like the Daryl Dixon of AMC's "The Walking Dead" on television, is yet to be seen. Likely will stay close to Norman Reedus' rendition, but regardless, this is something that has been somewhat over due since the characters popularity exploded. Now when the television fans begin to cross-over to where this all began, they will see another familiar face to help keep them in tune. Instead of being turned off by the unfamiliarity of the comic book world that has lost a lot of the "TV characters" over the 120+ issues. Understandably, but now there is one the stars of the show there to keep interested for a longer period of time. Hopefully it is as good as Norman Reedus' "Daryl Dixon", and more so, hopefully they both have a long life within both the pages and the tv series that is "The Walking Dead."

NEUMAN GETS MAD TREATMENT FOR UPCOMING BIRTHDAY

Alfred-E-Neuman.MAD-Magazine.DC-Comics.You may not have ever read an issue of MAD Magazine, but there is an extremely high chance you know who he is, even if just by face recognition. It is soon to be MAD Magazine "mascot" Alfred E. Neuman's birthday, and DC Comics is showing their love by providing Neuman variant covers featuring the MAD man on a few of their monthly titles. With an April Fool's birthday, comes spoofed out covers with Alfred keeping with his traditional comedic ways while "dressing up" as comic book characters.

Alfred-E-Neuman.MAD.Alfred-E-Neuman-As-The-Penguin.Unlike last year, where Alfred E. Neuman played the parts of various heroes upon the covers, this year Alfred brings his A-game showing his outtake, or his dark side if he even really has one, on some of DC Comics villains. Titles like Batman, Superman, and other usual variant recipients are getting one, but also closing issues like Nightwing are amongst the last (which you can find over at CBR HERE). Which villains will be chosen remains to be seen, CBR reports so far The Penguin (cover pictured), Earth 2 Superman and Parasite have been given the nod.

Curious as to how other alien-esque villains will look after having recieved the Neuman treatment come April. Until then...

Stay Nerdy!
