Possible comic spoilers, Prisoner story.

Listening to the officers story at the start of the game, it sounds like he transferred the serial killer Thomas Richards to the prison.

description and crime kinda matches his MO.

If so, damn telltale, you guys are too good.

    Interesting idea. I hadn't thought of it and it would be a very subtle reference, but could be. I'm excited to see what other character crossovers we will see in the game.

    Yep, I thought so. Clearly it's an easter egg. He describes Thomas very well.

    Telltale's known for their inside references in their games. I don't know a lot about the Walking Dead world, so I couldn't find any. But I was on the lookout for references to their other games (they're known to do that too). They'd have to be really subtle references to fit into the atmosphere of the game, but it wouldn't surprise me to see something pop up before the end of the five episode run (they managed to do an excellent subtle reference to the cancellation of Sam & Max: Freelance Police [which was the reason Telltale was formed in the first place] in one of their other serious games, CSI: 3 Dimensions of Murder). :)

    Speaking with the officer at the beginning, there's a reference to "Law & order".

    He tells something like "I let the Law to others, I am dedicated to Order".

    Very very subtle. :)

    Nice catch! :D

    I knew Telltale would be sly enough to sneak some in-jokes in there. :)

    There is also an easter egg at the end of the game - when Duck is talking to Clementine, he is discussing a story from Super Dinosaur, which is another comic written by Robert Kirkman
