Now i feel kinda blah about this "canon" thing since it wasnt truth that TWD Lilly was the comic book Lilly... even knowing Kirkman was behind all these projects i think they should be at least clear about this character and her ties with the comic book.... kinda funny that Lilly father form the novel is named Everett Caul... and her bf Lee Hamilton.. and the main character in the vidfeo game is named Lee Everett... coincidence??
Comic Book Lilly
Lilly was an angry brunette woman from Woodbury who participated in the prison assault.
Source wikipedia http://en.wikipedia....he_Walking_Dead
Novel Lilly
She worked for the U.S. Air Force at the Robins Air Base in Georgia. Her father, Everett Ray Caul cared deeply for her, and sacrificed himself to protect Lilly. As time went by they got more and more people to join the group, until there was nearly one hundred survivors, includingJosh Lee Hamilton.
source Walking Dead wikia: http://walkingdead.w..._(Comic_Series)
Video Game Lilly:
"Stationed at Robins Air Force Base, Lilly is the daughter of an Army man. She is used to dealing with pushy military men and immediately takes charge in tough situations. While incredibly strong-willed, she will always submit to her dad (Larry), a grizzled old man with a history of heart problems. Fate will one day drive Lilly to have a huge impact on the life of Deputy Sherriff Rick Grimes."
Source Telltale Walking Dead facebook page (04/06/12)
Novel is canon with comic book:
"I’m very meticulous in working with Jay that every single thing which happens in this novel series is completely canon and dovetails into what you already know in the comic books perfectly."
Robert Kirkman in an interview (10/03/12), source : http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=68164#08z36I0tPrLqYoqV.99
Video game is canon with the comic book
Is this game based on the comic books or the TV show?
We see the comic books as canon.
(FAQ telltale games website)
"It makes sense that the games stay true to the tone and themes of The Walking Dead comics, since both take place within the same canon. The surviving group in the game just happens to live in the same geographical area as the group in the early parts of the comics, something Kirkman said was done "to make sure [the game] had elements of the comic book series and was something that could be important to hardcore Walking Dead fans."

To me the comic Lily seems to fit best with the game version, but either work as a back story, its just a shame they didnt work it so all three were in continuity with each other...
So I don't get it.. Can she die in the game? Wouldn't that make the game not canon if she does seeing as she plays a pretty big role in the comic?
She doesn't/ Can not die in the game...

In the comic 106 letter section....
Officially the Lilly from the video game, is not the same Lilly as the comic. The one from the novel IS. BOTH take place in the same universe as the comic, and like most universe their is more than one Lilly.
I don't care what the fat man says, game Lily = comic Lily to me.

I agree. Didn't they already say, before the game came out, that it was going to be the same character anyway?
They did. Kirkman cornered himself there when he decided he wanted Lily to be in the books too and created two seperate storylines for the same character. I wish he had informed Telltale about that, they could've kept their (far better written) Lilly in the game longer.

Hopefully that clears everything up

OK so I read issue 106 of the comic today and in the Letter Hacks section at the back Kirkman has definitively stated the canon relating Lilly...
"Officially, the Lilly from the video game is not the Lilly from the comic. The one from the novel IS. BOTH take place in the same universe as the comic... but its a universe with more than one Lilly".
Hopefully that clears everything up
And like I said in another thread:

Kirkman should've opened his mouth sooner. Telltale could have kept Lilly and Carley/Doug in the game longer if he did.

haha... man I said the same thing! think i said in earlier post Lilly in the comic fits with the Lilly in the game... the novel Lilly just doesn't fit with the comic character to me. I know he likes to say people over the country have the same name but really, you gona call the lead for your novel the same name as a key character in the game release months apart? cmon man

So....yeah, I find that what Kirkman said is totally irrelevant, under this particular circumstance.

VG Lily was Lily from the comics up until the novel was published. Kirkman realized the misstep in the writing of the novel concerning her backstory, and saved face by suddenly claiming that the novel was the accurate medium.
So....yeah, I find that what Kirkman said is totally irrelevant, under this particular circumstance.
Like i said the VG Lilly and Comic Lilly fit... novel Lilly just doesn't fit with the development of the Lilly in the game... Road wasn't a great novel, so I dont consider in canon lol... just my opinion but VG and comic fit
