Quoted from lowepg:For a collector, the comic (much more timeless, IMO)
For location, probably the tv show (more recognizable to a bigger audience)
Maybe, but I don't see anyone looking at Metallica in the wild, scratching their head "What is this cartoon version, of this band? I don't get it, lets go play megatouch."
The difference in earnings gained to earnings lost based on making the art look like the comic would be in favor of the comic art IMHO for Stern. With a backglass that says the Walking Dead, and comic art of Rick with his hat, and son by his side, people will get it.
If they do not get it, they are two drunk to take the dollar out of their pocket anyway. In fact they might as well be the walking dead.
