Characters are important to every story. Here is a list of the characters from this series and a look at their first appearances. Characters shown in flashbacks or photographs for their first appearance will be listed twice if they later make an appearance in person, unless that first appearance is in the same issue in which case the flashback or photograph will be ignored and their first actual appearance will be chosen. All pictures should be their very first appearance in the first issue they are in regardless of how closely it does or doesn't resemble them.
Characters listed on this page made their The Waking comic debut in 2010.
