Comic Timeline

The following is a timeline for the Comic Series, explaining what happened each day, week, month, and year:

Note

 * The comic is set in the same universe as the video game series, made by Telltale Games, and Overkill's The Walking Dead.
 * Although we evaluated the many dates given for the cause of the outbreak "Around Every Corner", we found out that the start of the outbreak was in July 19th, 2004. while Robert Kirkman stated in his letter hack that signs of the virus started in October 2003.
 * If the series did start in July 19th, 2004, then we would currently be in August 8th, 2008.
 * Robert Kirkman has said he didn't want to be specific as far as when the outbreak started so it is unconfirmed.

Trivia

 * The comic series was set in 2004, but in early drafts, it was going to be set in the 1960s, be called Night of The Living Dead, and most likely pay homage to the original Night of The Living Dead material that started the zombie genre.
 * The comic series is the third farthest ahead into the apocalypse, at over four years however behind the novel which is almost five years in and the video game, which is currently estimated to be set 7-8 years or 2558-2920 days after the initial outbreak .The TV show almost two years and the same for Fear the Walking Dead.
 * The longest lasting location is the Alexandria Safe-Zone. The survivors have lived in it since Day 408, and it was established somewhere between Day 0-90. This makes it 1000+ days old for the survivors and 1350+ days since established
