The Walking Dead's Robert Kirkman Tells His Story - Speakeasy

[@anepicjourney]

This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. I saw it like 5 times already omg. Paul F. Tompkins is sooo charismatic and Robert Kirkman is so damn funny.

[@roberthardenglens9429]

MO MONEY

[@shieldstas1]

I wish more interviews would acknowledge the fact that Robert Kirkman also created "Invincible", the greatest super hero comic EVER. It is still ongoing, too.

[@cngotham4111]

Crazy that Omni man is in the mortal Kombat game after one season.

[@Supsboredrn]

Just read them all and the series is awesome.

[@rustcohle3803]

Robert is an inspiration to young writers everywhere!

[@darielgonzalez4019]

Robert kirkman is amazing

[@damonmcfadden8155]

The man, the myth, the legend 🙏🏻

[@leisure.lovers1238]

Kirkman is the man !

[@MrLMxD]

Carl Grimes Yes he is !!

[@walterriardson410]

Well written zombie king theme. to download free @ tinyurl . com \ q5v372f . remove spaces.

[@bevroberts8440]

Kirkman, I love you; now stop killing off my favorite characters!

[@Thecustardcreamcrew]

+WAR-DANCE cept for Glenn

[@bevroberts8440]

I'm very attached to Glaggie; hate the thought of 1 of them dying, but I would rather we had learned who died in the S6 finale. PO'd that they built up so much intensity and momentum, then Bam, hit a brick wall!

[@alexberkowitz3714]

he sounds like badger from breaking bad

[@matincatrat]

I didn't know people actually talked like that xD

[@randomname3715]

Frank Darabont (director of The Shawshank Redemption). Was the original showrunner who brought the idea of the show to AMC. He is the reason the show became the huge success it is. Pay that man his money. if it was not for Frank Darabont I would not have watched this show from the beginning. The first 2 seasons were great......I still watch them over and over.

[@afonsolucas2219]

The series was awesome because of him, as soon as he left, it stank.

[@tomahawk3605]

This is easily the most entertaining interview I've ever watched.

[@Spideymaynereports]

One of my greatest inspirations. Aside from Kevin smith and Robert Rodriguez.

[@cameronfinley745]

Man, was he right about things going downhill and people looking back on this interview. Hopefully, the spin-offs bring back the nostalgic feeling TWD had.

[@liamphibia]

Yeah... And to this day I *struggle* to understand his defense in killing off Carl Grimes.😣

[@caspiderman]

Should have asked him what he feels about Andrea's death on the show versus what she becomes in the comic.

[@Penelope416]

She was so badass in the comics. I wish they manifested that version of her in the TV series.

[@seapeoplesdidnothingwrong1307]

Penelope416 I could not stand her on the tv show.

[@Penelope416]

Spencer Wilbanks Neither could I. If the writers wanna play her like that in tv show, they should've killed her off. It was the writers fault!

[@seapeoplesdidnothingwrong1307]

.

[@seapeoplesdidnothingwrong1307]

Penelope416 love the show but they could have done some better casting, I did not care for her, t-dog, beth, Lori ( although I think u were not supposed to like her). They did a great job casting rick, carl, shane, merle, daryl though.

[@Ren_Davis0531]

That guy has a moustache. He clearly must be a Viltrumite.

[@mrcrackdonald_1]

LOL

[@ZerekanNephilim]

Robert is so freaking dreamy. I can't deal

[@BreakVoid]

Kyle Kinane could do voice over work for Robert Kirkman.

[@boondockbetty374]

Fantastic! Loved hearing about Kirkman himself. Speakeasy is always great!!

[@formusicplaylist1]

i could see paul f tompkins as a late night host. judging by his persona i think it would be difficult to have a negative interview with him.

[@LucasGamesLive]

Robert Kirkman is such a cool guy, and I hope season 7 of the walking dead will be great!

[@boyracer67]

Love the show and comic thanks kirkman

[@minecraftbrawler]

"Don't think Disney will be jumping on that one." That didn't age too great lol

[@ellashakur6275]

Kirkman if you can imagine in 20 years time there is a new rick michonne in that time line

[@sethabdou7607]

12:00 I bet that experience influenced his idea of the whisperers

[@jaredt-f3007]

Plz do this for fifty years

[@DonniePCgames]

Oh no. Why?

[@GoalieOfUnholy]

@ 20:09, 7 years later and Marvel Zombies makes its debut on an episode of Marvel's What If…? (TV series). 3 years after that, a stand-alone spin-off series comes to Disney's streaming service.

[@MrLMxD]

That was a really cool interview. It as being a while since I've saw something this good :)

[@Daniel-vk7oh]

11:15 Kirkman sounds just like Ben from the telltale's The Walking Dead.

[@motoboy2871]

Mr peanut putter and Robert Kirkman in the same room ? What is this crossover episode

[@utkrishtnigam8119]

I too love Robert kirkman.

[@bevrosity]

"you asked me before this interview to laugh at that joke" lolz

[@KennethChristian]

Such a great attitude.

[@keeganmclean2017]

It’s funny what Kirkman says at the end about not creating too many spin-offs because that’s exactly what AMC did with TWD tv series…

[@pppiquer]

Two of the funniest guys I know having a conversation, this is priceless

[@brilliantneen6219]

Thank goodness this is back,I've been bored!

[@WiggysanWiggysan]

At last, a new Speakeasy! BRILLIANT.

[@DippedInInk]

Great interview.

[@jalechrist8389]

I found this show last night.. it is one of my fav things to watch now :P

[@Chapter2Productions]

Great interview

[@leonardo_Fabri]

Robert is really a cute nerd bear. And everybody loves a bear!

[@Akeboun]

Just to think he had the ending in sight. The end of an era

[@samuelvilla7718]

do this forever and TWD forever

[@MrJiffyPOPPOP]

Happy birthday

[@Coraxincarmine]

I love walking dead, but I think Invicible is his best job by far! A movie/series would be super awesome!

[@moonknight2099mk]

I loved his work at Marvel. MTU was my favorite book until it was cancelled.

[@DeathMetalJedi]

Hey it's the guy from drunk history

[@ege8240]

Damn it was 5 years ago

[@AstronautDown]

- I think it's too early to be talking about a spinoff yet. - Nah, let's. - Ok then, there is a spinoff coming. Mr. Kirkman, you've been PFT'd.

[@mrwatcherman1124]

I'd love to ask Robert Kirkman about the similarities between toy story and the Walking Dead.

[@theninkyn0nk463]

is it just me or does he sound SO MUCH like Saul from breaking bad

[@circuscase]

Bad ass of the week. Look it up online and enjoy. Better than any fiction produced.

[@rhinohorn1258]

I want the old man Logan adapted into a cgi style movie based 100% on the comic itself. A Dream of mine

[@LiamM]

18:44 My friend knows Mark Miller :D

[@cyberdidi]

Try a book store.. or one that specializes in comic books. There is an app that Kirkman talked about that have his books but I forgot the name.

[@KK_Styles]

I would love to see you interview Bill Burr!

[@TrailPvP]

is that the dog from Mr Peanutbutters House?

[@Spo8]

I love how they're laughing at how ridiculous the idea of Marvel doing a Marvel Zombies movie or show. It's now pretty much confirmed that the What If...? series will feature it.

[@HiImDaisy]

he releases books, but you can find them on youtube.

[@anthonysummit3098]

Legend!!!!

[@ellashakur6275]

Oi kirkman more stories immediately sir

[@assassincreedfan100]

they come out every month go to your comic book store

[@fictionmyth]

I swear Kirkman hides his Kentuckian heritage like a zombie bite in interviews. I know it's an odd point to make, but being from a state that is synonymous with hicks and incest, having a successful and intelligent person like Mr. Kirkman to point to as an example of a modern productive son of Kentucky, becomes a point of pride. I'm highly hurt that the show didn't use King's county Kentucky, especially since there is no King's county Georgia, and Rick's uniform is based on King's Co. KY. Sad :(

[@DanielGoldMcduckRose]

And now we have spin offs marvel zombies and invincible on Amazon

[@kpercy04]

Current Ron Bergandy!

[@davidellulthorn1]

I concur that Bill Burr should be interviewed!

[@TheHolyWeener]

paul sounds exactly like rex from toy story

[@TheInfinityOwl]

You can read them on youtube.

[@henrydayspring5809]

20:10 sometimes you just never know

[@ellashakur6275]

Lord of rings you are one of the extremely strong breaking rocks you are a gift more stories rosita series dark angel vibe

[@DrayWillSlay]

inspiring

[@Warchiefaa]

That thumbnail though.

[@jalechrist8389]

"idk man it pays the bills" haha loved this comment

[@Historiaeroteiro]

He almost sound like Badger.

[@ellashakur6275]

Kirkman rosita series

[@ninneyfooda]

Interview Bill Murray!

[@irukandjiJK]

I don't want to toot my own horn, but I've had letters published in both Invincible, and in two separate issues of Wolf-Man.

[@TobiasBoonBackwards]

I just drank 3 capri suns.... get on my level

[@maryhough8041]

Yeah, fear in no way stands shoulder to shoulder with the original!

[@wolfhowlin1859]

Yup, never!

[@billmcreary1092]

The show sicks ass

[@stevenbray9056]

so is that Aussie available?

[@joemac92]

how do i read the comics...? does he release books or is there a website to subscribe to or what?

[@blackademmusic]

i hate when people say graphic novel i love comic books.

[@juelsisgewd]

Great, down to the last drop.

[@simonsays2967]

hey Kirkman bring on Meryl Dixon's identical twin who is meaner, and looking to stomp Daryl

[@ranwolf76]

thanks for the spoiler warning. really appreciate it

[@tossigetotte12]

love it ^^

[@Rickgrimezzz89]

I can't believe that Daryl is bout to die in this 2nd episode. It sucks :(

[@alexynot9778]

is lilly from the tell tale series the one who killed lori and the governer in the comic

[@alexynot9778]

and the road to wood bury is that lilly from the telltale game when left away from group

[@Painted-Coyote]

Evan Mitchell No and no. Kirkman put out a statement about that. You should be able to google it.

[@cireyenned]

any comic book store or at imagecomics

[@BadFrancis74]

Please tell me they are drinking Zombies. If not, that is opportunity WASTED, sirs.

[@ricecinnamon8273]

2 mins in already thinking they already drunk?

[@jemstar33]

Is the spin-off (that he mentioned) the "Fear the Walking Dead?"

[@twilightsaganikki]

yeah

[@bernardogalvan807]

BTW "VATOS" IS THE BEST EPISODE IN ALL... I REPEAT ALL!!!!!!!! THE FUCKIN WALKING DEAD SHOW!

[@Thecustardcreamcrew]

Nah no way out m8

[@matteverdeentwd4966]

+Mattyknight22 No Way Out season 6 episode 9 :)

[@delaneybold7768]

+Matt Everdeen TWD Carl Poppa...

[@drewallen55]

For me it's Killer Within

[@patrickday9536]

Bernax 2500 I'd say it's "What happened and what's going on?" because it was emotional and had all the dead characters in Tyreese's visions before he died

[@fattgordon]

Invite Bill Burr!

[@grkpektis]

I disagree with one thing I think adaptions can ruin the comic, look at marvel every time a movie comes out they have to change the comics to match the movies exactly (black nick fury for example) and it's annoying as shit.

[@admiralsunshine]

Damn it, Tompkins, let me go to sleep

[@jakefromstatefarm3654]

Couldn't stop looking at his gap

[@roberthardenglens9429]

is this supposed to be a piano bar setting?

[@venomsnigle44]

Paul F. Tompkins 4 President

[@joemac92]

wow i never thought it could be a physical comic book. dur -.-

[@sk8rman632]

He's such an average Joe. I'd think he was the creator of an Adult Swim show if I didn't know any better.

[@GeorgeZupster]

Robert Kirkman is laughing all the way to the bank :)

[@brownieprincess33]

he scares me
