What is Oceanside?

The seventh episode of this season introduced us to another survivor community called Oceanside. Although it’s familiar to comic fans, all of the events that occurred in the episode did NOT happen in the comics. In fact, Oceanside doesn’t even get introduced until years later. So how does the show Oceanside compare with the source material? We break down the major SPOILER-FILLED differences below:


Show

TWD_706_GP_0630_0124-RT

Oceanside is a survivor community off the Virginia coast that Tara accidentally discovers during a supply run. After The Saviors wiped out the men and older children, the survivors formed their own community off the ocean to escape. Led by a woman named Natalia, Oceanside is heavily-guarded and abides by a strict shoot-on-sight stranger policy. They bend the rules for Tara, who they want to join them. Despite this, Tara escapes with the help of Oceanside resident Cyndie. It remains to be seen if we’ll encounter this community in future episodes.

Comics

Oceansidecomic

Oceanside is an allied fishing community off the coast of Virginia that is first introduced in The Walking Dead Issue #139 and mentioned by name in #142. The community’s first discovered by Siddiq, a survivor who stumbled upon it while traveling from Miami. During the two-year time jump following All Out War, Michonne leaves Alexandria and discovers Oceanside while coping with the loss of her daughters (which is played out in Telltale’s Michonne Mini-Series).

Michonne meets Siddiq, who finds his way to Alexandria and establishes trade relations between Oceanside, Alexandria, The Hilltop, and The Kingdom. Unlike the show, we’re not given much information about Oceanside other than the fact their leader Pete declines to join Alexandria in The Whisperer War.

Oceanside


WHAT IT ALL MEANS

TWD_706_GP_0630_0102-RT

Although they share a name and love of fish, the two Oceansides have almost nothing in common. The comic Oceanside’s population was NOT decimated by The Saviors, is NOT heavily-armed, and characters like Natalia, Cyndie, and Beatrice do not even exist. So why give them such a rich backstory? They obviously share a grudge against The Saviors with Alexandria, The Hilltop, and The Kingdom. Could they ally themselves with these communities or is it just another stepping stone in explaining the true savagery of The Saviors? Tell us in the comments!

    It was my contention since the Kingdom episode that they are developing the stories of these communities so that they can all join forces to take down the Saviors.

    I didn’t even catch the name “Oceanside” until it was mentioned at the beginning of Talking Dead.

    I am thinking they are simply using Oceanside now to help avoid the 2 year comic gap and bring them into the Negan story because of their lack of real story in the comics. They have fleshed out a new story and I think possibly are going to tie in a new character from TV version Oceanside to be a character from Comic that we keep trying to associate with established characters already on TV. And that Comic character would be taken over by Cyndie.
    (can you think of what character I imagine she will fill out in the Comic? That we keep trying to imagine in other already established characters?)

      “lack of real story in the comics” needs some elaboration.
