Just like any good zombie, "The Walking Dead" won't stay down. Since the debut of "The Walking Dead" comic in 2003, it's become one of the biggest non-superhero comics out there, and the TV adaptation that launched on AMC in 2010 took that popularity even higher. Though "The Walking Dead" ended its 11-season, 177-episode run in 2022, it lives on in spin-offs such as "Dead City" and "Daryl Dixon."

Image Comics is also currently reprinting original black-and-white "Walking Dead" comics (which wrapped in 2019) in full color and with new cover art as "The Walking Dead Deluxe." The new issues include all-new letters columns in the back of the books, where the creators answer questions from readers who wrote in. In "The Walking Dead Deluxe" #85, Noel Julian from Puerto Rico wrote in asking:

Oni Press wowed horror fans with the return of EC Comics last year, but they're just getting started, and we have a look at their "Summer of Fear" trailer, teasing upcoming releases, including Blood Type #1, Catacomb Of Torment #1, and Cruel Universe 2 #1. Plus, we also have a look at cover art the second issue of Catacomb Of Torment:

Negan has become essential to the DNA of the Walking Deadfranchise, but even creator Robert Kirkman acknowledges that for some fans, the foul-mouthed, barbed-wire-bat-swinging character has always been, and continues to be, a controversial addition to the zombie series. However, Kirkman offers a “counterpoint” to anti-Negan arguments, though he also admits that he is biased in favor of the character.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #114, written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard, features the latest installment of the fan-favorite “Cutting Room Floor” section, in which the author takes a retrospective look at the series, through the eyes of a more experienced creative veteran.

With Negan’s initial villainous arc truly starting to heat up at this point in the series, Kirkman took a moment to cite complaints about the character, and The Walking Dead in general, from the time of the issue’s initial release, though not without further explaining the virtues of Negan,...

One of the most memorable (and controversial) characters on "The Walking Dead" was Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan. He's a villain who introduced himself in the comics by bashing in the head of one of the most beloved characters in the series, and he introduced himself in the show by doing that twice. Whereas the show's previous big bad, the Governor, got killed off after only a season and a half of mayhem, Negan's reign of terror lasted two full seasons -- and he didn't die at the end of it. He stuck around and has haunted the franchise for years, and is now the co-lead of a spinoff series alongside Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohen). 

But the Negan haters can't even be mad, because Negan is undeniably a fun, intriguing character by this point. He's a little crazy and, thanks to his introduction setting expectations very low Re: his moral fiber,...

The creator of The Walking Dead cites Ezekiel as the smartest character in franchise history. King Ezekiel makes his first appearance in The Walking Dead #108, and for many, Ezekiel would be considered one of their favorite characters. His death would come in The Walking Dead #145, but his impact over those past 37 issues is undeniable, something that Twd's creator further legitimizes.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #113 features a Q&a section in which creator Robert Kirkman confirms Ezekiel to be the smartest character in the franchise. When one fan calling himself "A z" criticizes Kirkman's portrayal of Black characters in his universe and asks if Kirkman can "develop some strong Black men in the series that last longer [than] four issues" whilst referring to Ezekiel as "a clown," this is Kirkman's response:

Ezekiel may look like a clown, but I assure you he could very well be the smartest person in the book.

Robert Kirkman is definitely one of the superstar writers in modern American comics. He broke out writing at the publisher Image Comics, thanks to his superhero book "Invincible" and his zombie apocalypse comic "The Walking Dead."

Both "Invincible" and "The Walking Dead" are some of the biggest and most successful comics that exist outside the Marvel/DC duopoly. They're not just popular among comic fans, they've broken into the mainstream with popular TV adaptations too. "The Walking Dead" TV series is AMC's golden goose (just look at all the spin-offs) and "Invincible" has been adapted into a cartoon on Prime Video. ("Invincible" season 4 and more are on the way.)

Kirkman co-creating "Invincible" and "The Walking Dead" is already an achievement. You know what makes it even more impressive? That he wrote both series for about 15 years — and not just any 15 years,...

There's a lot to compare about "The Walking Dead" TV series and the original comics by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore. The show has many completely original storylines and characters, like the fan favorite and now star of his own series, Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus). Some characters die much earlier in "The Walking Dead" TV show than they did in the comics, while some last longer. But another big difference is a matter of presentation.

"The Walking Dead" aired in full-color, like how you'd expect a 2010 television series to do. The comic, though, was colored in black-and-white. As a nod to this, a black-and-white edition of the series' pilot "Days Gone Bye" was made, and "The Walking Dead" season 6 premiere included some scenes shot in black-and-white.

Black-and-white comics are far from unheard of; in manga like "Blade of the Immortal,...

Early reviews for The Walking Dead: Dead City are finally in, and we know how the second season of the post-apocalyptic series stacks up to the original. The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2has debuted with an 80% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, which is the same score the first season earned. This comes from only five reviews compared to the first season’s 57, and while there is certainly some wiggle room for it to adjust as the season goes along, it’s still a good sign that Season 2 is a worthy follow-up. The first episode of The Walking Dead: Dead City will premiere this Sunday on May 4, and subsequent episodes will be released every Sunday. The show is based on the novels by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard and was written for TV by Eli Jorne.

First introduced in Epitaphs from the Abyss #3, the immortal vampire Ada will sink her teeth into her own EC Comics series this summer! Written by Corinna Bechko, illustrated by Andrea Sorrentino, colored by Dave Stewart, lettered by Richard Starkings and Comicraft's Tyler Smith, and fittingly titled Blood Type, the first issue of the new comic book series will stalk comic shop shelves this June via Oni Press, who will also give readers the chance to catch up on Ada's first appearance this Saturday, May 3rd, with the Free Comic Book Day release of Blood Type #0, which includes the original "Blood Type" story by Corinna Bechko and Jonathan Case in addition to two other spine-chilling EC Comics tales: "The Champion" from Matt Kindt and Kano as well as "Death and Pickaxes" by Chris Condon and Charlie Adlard.

Not long after The Walking Deadboss Scott M. Gimple said he believes the franchise could extend into the 2040s and potentially even beyond, the future of the zombie-ridden universe just got another exciting update. Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars in and reprises his role as Negan in The Walking Dead: Dead City, which is set to air its second season on May 4. The show is a sequel to the original Walking Dead series that follows Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Morgan) as they travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan that has long been cut off from the outside world. During a recent interview with ScreenRant, Morgan recently previewed Negan’s arc in the upcoming second season, teasing how he’s become softer since we first met him in The Walking Dead:

"With Dead City, I don't know that it's the last year at all, but I think it's forming this character who,...

The future of The Walking Dead franchise just got an interesting update from executive Scott. M Gimple. Based on the series of graphic novels by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard, The Walking Dead first hit the air in 2010 and ran until 2022. However, that didn’t mark the end of the franchise, as spin-offs such asThe Ones Who Live, Fear the Walking Dead, Dead City, and Daryl Dixon have all aired just in the last few years. Gimple recently caught up with Games Radar to talk about the future of The Walking Dead franchise, and although it’s been around for 15 years now, he seems confident that it could go for another 15 and extend into 2040 and beyond:

"I do see that potential. The Walking Dead is about compelling characters in an unforgiving world, but one that is not without hope. Because the stakes are so high, the choices these...

Even though "The Walking Dead" comic series ran for 16 years and 193 issues, it never answered the most fundamental question it posed: How did the zombie apocalypse start? A virus? A bio-weapon? Something supernatural?

Series co-creator and writer Robert Kirkman included an origin for the outbreak in his pitch, but it wasn't something he ever intended to use. What origin was that? Aliens! To give "The Walking Dead" a more unique hook beyond just zombies, Kirkman pitched that the series would eventually reveal that aliens began raising the dead to soften Earth up for an invasion.

"The Walking Dead" ultimately didn't need more than zombies and some great writing to become a bestseller. So, in turn, Kirkman didn't have to use the alien invasion story, and aliens never showed up in "The Walking Dead" -- or did they?

Oh, Andrea. If there's any character who "The Walking Dead" television series fumbled worse, I can't think of them. The Andrea of comics was one of the longest lasting and most beloved characters in the series, whereas Laurie Holden's version of Andrea in the TV show was despised. It's easy to draw a line from the dislike of her character to her early death in the season 3 finale, "Welcome to the Tombs."

Andrea's "Walking Dead" season 3 arc was invented for the show whole cloth, and a major departure from the comics. She winds up at Woodbury, the seemingly normal town run by the Governor (David Morrissey). Andrea clings to the illusion of the pre-apocalyptic world, so much so that she spends a whole half-season refusing to return to her friends. Her loyalty to Woodbury bites her. She gets a goodbye to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira), then...

The Walking Dead ran for eleven seasons on AMC, spawning several spinoff shows. It was based on a comic book series by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard, which made the series a favorite among the comic fandom. Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes played the central protagonist for nine seasons, but other characters also grew on the audience over time.

One of the characters who was introduced late into the show was Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played the antagonist, Negan. He was introduced in the final episode of Season 6, when the season ended on a major cliffhanger. Negan is introduced as the leader of the Saviors, a vast organization of survivors who were the antagonists beginning from the second half of the sixth season.

Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard’s novel series The Walking Dead is based on AMC’s post-apocalyptic horror drama The Walking Dead. Developed by Frank Darabont, the series that features a large ensemble cast received critical appreciation upon release and concluded after eleven seasons.

There are numerous reasons why The Walking Dead was one of the most beloved shows, including the fact that it had some of the strongest women characters. The fact that villains are as complex as heroes makes one want to watch it. The most fascinating aspect of the show has been the character struggling to cope with extraordinary circumstances. Fans have, however, been curious about one unusual thing on the show: the Walkers’ hair.

HBO has a reputation for being the king of television, but over the years, it's let some great shows slip through its hands. The network passed on "Breaking Bad" in what creator Vince Gilligan once called the worst meeting he's ever had. It turned down "Yellowjackets" for being too similar to "Euphoria." And it lost out on an absolute cash cow when it didn't pick up "The Walking Dead."

As with "Breaking Bad," HBO's loss on "The Walking Dead" was AMC's gain. Now, HBO eventually found its zombie show with "The Last of Us" (even if it's substantially different than "Walking Dead"), but it missed the chance to be near ground zero of the 2000s and early 2010s zombie resurgence.

Why? According to "Walking Dead" executive producer Greg Nicotero (speaking in a 2012 interview with the Huffington Post), HBO had some concerns about the material. Specifically, the network thought it was too violent!

Underlying author Robert Kirkman's story choices in The Walking Dead comic series was a philosophical question about human nature and civilization that has vexxed countless thinkers across centuries and millennia. As Kirkman once explained, the plot of the series unfolded from the idea that "[humanity] would turn on each other" if society collapsed.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #105 – written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard – contains the original issue's letters section, including one in which the author opined about his anxieties regarding civilizational breakdown, which his zombie apocalypse was in many ways an embodiment of.

Effectively, Kirkman used zombies as a mechanism to bring about the end of civilization as his characters knew it – so he could find out how they would operate under unprecedented chaotic conditions. Though the results were largely bleak, the writer did also speak to his desire to forge a more positive outlook.

Robert Kirkman...

Contains discussion of violence, including sexual violence and suicide.

While the gory post-apocalypse of The Walking Dead may be too much for some people, the franchise's creator insists that his series is "Extremely tame" compared to one of its closest competitors - a series generally acknowledged as the most R-rated zombie series ever created. Sadly for those with a weak stomach, the series in question is soon to get its own big-screen adaptation.

In Walking Dead Deluxe #105, writer and franchise co-creator Robert Kirkman reflects on the introduction of Negan's harem of 'wives.' Kirkman claims that despite The Walking Dead's often horrifying violence, this was the detail that proved most controversial to fans. Kirkman insists that despite the gore of his series, he has a firm line for what he'll depict, telling anyone who doubts the claim to check out Garth Ennis' Crossed.

Created with artist Jacen Burrows,...

While The Walking Dead primarily tells a story of survival, one fundamental aspect that often gets overshadowed by the hype of the zombie apocalypse and the aggressive competition among the remaining clusters of humanity is the necessity of securing an ongoing and consistent means of sustenance. To be clear, unless you're a zombie, eating human flesh is not a viable option for survivors.

Establishing and maintaining a reliable food system in such an environment is no easy task. As a result, there must be considerable improvisation taking place - at least according to The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman. Kirkman addressed this problem directly when responding to a reader's question in the "Letter Hacks" section of The Walking Dead Deluxe #103.

The reader, intrigued by the Beef Jerky Stroganoff that Spencer Monroe offered to Andrea in The Walking Dead #77 by Kirkman and Charlie Adlard, inquired about the origin of this creative dish.

The Walking Dead creator, Robert Kirkman, has made his stance on Negan crystal clear with an Nsfw note directed at fans—and one Twd cast member—who despise the brutally sadistic antagonist. While the passion in his statement is undeniable, it also provides a glimpse into Kirkman’s creative process, something most writers can likely relate to or, at the very least, yearn for.

...Kirkman acknowledges that not all fans share his affection for Negan...

Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, Dave McCaig, and Rus Wooton's The Walking Dead Deluxe #103 is a particularly special issue as it marks Negan’s complete takeover with him forcing Rick Grimes out of his leadership role and triggering extraordinary changes in the group’s dynamics.

Beyond this pivotal moment in the series, the deluxe edition also includes words from Robert Kirkman, where he answers fans’ pressing questions about Walking Dead lore and shares his own insights and opinions.

In the latest issue of the Deluxe reprint of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman named two villains he conceived of, who never made it into the comic series – one of whom is set to play a pivotal role in the upcoming spin-off graphic novel, Clemetine: Book Three, serving as the greatest antagonist yet for the hero of Telltale's Walking Dead video game.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #104 – written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard – includes a peek at the author's handwritten notes for the series, which he points out includes a reference to "The Contractor," a character concept that never materialized on the page.

Kirkman also used this annotation to tease "The Gardener," another mysterious potential foe for Rick Grimes and his group of survivors. Now, it seems that some version of the character will finally appear in franchise canon, though how much this character has developed over...

There’s no denying that zombies are portrayed in countless ways across pop culture, meaning the answer to the question, "Can zombies swim?" often depends on the interpretation; however, in The Walking Dead universe, fans have a definitive answer to whether their favorite characters need to worry about getting chomped by a swimming zombie—and this answer comes straight from The Walking Dead creator, Robert Kirkman.

...raises the question of whether the TV adaptation has adhered to the "no swimming zombies" rule of the comics...

The Walking Dead Deluxe #103, by Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, Dave McCaig, and Rus Wooton, stands out as a particularly special issue. Not only does it showcase Negan’s complete takeover—forcing Rick Grimes out of leadership and drastically altering the group dynamics—but the deluxe edition also includes insights from Robert Kirkman himself, as he addresses fans' burning questions about zombies and other Walking Dead lore.

In The Walking Dead, the majority of threats are actually humans, not zombies. This claim isn't so controversial, as it's humans who can plan and betray and use advanced tools, not zombies - not by a long shot. But one question that has stood out to fans is just how smart zombies actually are. Finally, readers have an answer, as both co-creator Robert Kirkman and various bits of comic media have revealed their true intelligence.

While responding to a fan letter in The Walking Dead Deluxe #103, Kirkman answered the question about whether walkers would simply wander into the water or not, lacking the intelligence to know better. What he revealed is pretty interesting, admitting that most zombies would definitely fall for this trick and walk straight into the water and die.

While this case seems open-and-shut, Kirkman went on to admit that while he's not a fan of evolving or smart zombies,...

As part of his retrospective look back at The Walking Dead comic series, creator Robert Kirkman has been quick to acknowledge his foibles as an author, as much as his triumphs – perhaps even putting more focus on the former, rather than the latter, as with his latest self-nitpick about a recycled line of dialogue, which he calls his equivalent of a "Stan Lee moment."

The Walking Dead Deluxe #103 – written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard – contains an annotation from Kirkman in which he calls himself out for duplicating a line of dialogue, delivered by the infamous and iconic Negan, which had appeared in a nearly-identical context in a prior issue.

Kirkman's evocation of Stan Lee is a reference to the legendary Marvel writer's notoriously bad memory, which was, in fact, what gave rise to the trope of alliterative superhero names, from Bruce Banner to Peter Parker.

Robert Kirkman...

Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, wrote about the influence the TV adaptation of his story had on the comic series, as part of the ongoing Deluxe retrospective reprint of the influential zombie comic. According to Kirkman, when he first introduced arch-villain Negan at the hundred-issue mark, he had serious doubts regarding whether the character would be translatable to the screen.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #103 – written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard – contains the author's annotations to the behind-the-scenes of the comic's creation, offering an unparalleled insight into how the story took shape.

The hundredth issue of Walking Dead was a milestone in multiple ways, including the first appearance of Negan; it also came at a pivotal time when the production of the comic and the early seasons of the TV show overlapped, and Kirkman's recollections give fans a greater sense of how the adaptation influenced the source material.

Nearly 15 years ago, AMC aired the first episode of The Walking Dead — a series adaptation of the fan-favorite comic series penned by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. More than a decade later, the show would eventually bow out after a staggering 11 seasons, numerous spin-offs, and a few follow-ups already set to ensure audiences wouldn’t need to be without the zombie-centered series for too long. But, how does something so huge get started? How does a production that has become such a staple in pop culture get the right eyes on it and lobby the copious amounts of support needed to bring it to the small screen?...

The Walking Dead had an incredible 11-season run, but not all the seasons were created equally. The popular series debuted on AMC in 2010, having adapted a post-apocalyptic horror comic written by Robert Kirkman with art by Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard. The series rejuvenated the zombie genre, with a fresh take on the zombie apocalypse, and a story that focused on a small group of determined survivors.

From the start, Rick Grimes becomes a natural leader, having spent his life as a sheriff's deputy before the outbreak. When he woke up from a coma, he found the world he knew was a thing of the past. As the series develops, new characters, groups, and rivals are introduced, and the show continued to evolve until the finale, but some seasons were huge hits, while others are better off left in the past.

The Walking Dead - Season 10

By the end of the series' run,...

When the zombie apocalypse hit, The Walking Dead’s Rick Grimes needed to band together with like-minded survivors to stand a chance at lasting against the ever-encroaching undead hordes, with a scavenger named Glenn becoming one of Rick’s first friends after waking from his untimely coma. Tragically beaten to death by the infamous Negan, series creator Robert Kirkman has revealed why Glenn had to die, as well as the person who is truly responsible for it.

Introduced in the second issue of The Walking Dead, Glenn was once a struggling pizza delivery boy who used his quickness and general knowledge of the Atlanta area to become the perfect supply runner for his group.

All that said, after seeing the portrayal of Glenn on the television show, and the stellar performance by an actor whose name I can't seem to recall for me at least, the comic book Glenn just...

Often considered the most difficult form of storytelling in entertainment, the television landscape has produced some riveting shows that have become mainstays in pop culture and have garnered loyal fans in a variety of genres. However, for as many great series that highlight the best of the medium, specifically TV dramas, multiple shows fail to live up to a higher standard that had been previously established for viewers, where some TV dramas eventually lose direction.

Whether dealing with changes in the plot, mishandled narrative execution or issues outside of the show’s control, several TV dramas have delivered a strong television experience for audiences that emphasized great potential, only to then significantly drop in quality. Moreover, many of these shows’ prolonged tenure drew the ire of dedicated fans who felt disappointed by a lack of cohesion, as well as grew tiresome with the ill-conceived narratives at hand.

The Walking Dead...

The Walking Dead is a very grounded story that takes place in the modern day, but it originally had a sci-fi setting no fan could have ever expected. Since the danger humanity faces between the zombies and other hostile humans is pretty realistic in the original comic, it's shocking to learn that The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard was originally going to take a completely different direction.

When it comes to telling a story, it's very rare that the first iteration of the story is what actually makes it to print. As reported by Cbr, instead of being a zombie apocalypse set in the modern day, The Walking Dead nearly had two different settings. One of the first ideas was that instead of taking place in contemporary times, The Walking Dead would take place on Earth in the far future with the extra twist of a utopian society.

The Walking Dead introduced its fair share of iconic villains throughout its epic 193-issue run, with the foul-mouthed Negan receiving one of the bloodiest introductions of any character in the history of the comic book medium. Immediately becoming a foe fans loved to hate, Negan’s debut issue was a critical and financial success, with series creator Robert Kirkman recently revealing what record it broke and why Negan’s debut helped achieve this incredibly impressive feat.

Making his presence known in 2012’s The Walking Dead #100, Negan didn’t waste any time showing what he was about, with his profanity-spewing R-rated personality, signature barbed-wire-wrapped bat Lucille, and brutal murder of fan-favorite character Glenn, instantly making him a villain worth hating.

Benefitting from the bloody debut of Negan but also building on the hype surrounding the centennial chapter of this series and the almost concluded “Something to...

The zombie apocalypse in The Walking Dead changed humanity forever, collapsing every existing world power and killing off the majority of the species. The franchise follows the few survivors trying to build a new life and a new world, fighting against both the undead and their fellow humans whose worst impulses have run riot. It's therefore devastating to know that no matter what Walking Dead's heroes accomplish, the franchise already set up a second zombie apocalypse to destroy it all again.

This chilling fact comes courtesy of Clementine - a major protagonist within the franchise. Clementine was introduced in 2012's The Walking Dead videogame, from Telltale Games. In the original game, Clementine is a young girl who is taken in by Lee Everett, and the story's sole survivor. She's since appeared in more games set in the Walking Dead universe, as well as the Clementine comic trilogy from Tillie Walden.

Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead, once revealed his pick for the franchise's "strongest character" was Carl Grimes; readers of the comic will know that Carl was the centerpiece of the series' epilogue, while viewers of the TV adaptation will recognize many of the character's greatest qualities in screen-only fan-favorite Daryl Dixon.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #101 – written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard – reprints the original issue's letters page, including a telling response to a fan, in which Kirkman extols Carl's importance to the series, which would go on to run for nearly another hundred issues.

Including a tease that Carl had "a lot of life left in him," – which prefigured the ending of the series, intentionally or otherwise – Kirkman made it clear that the young son of Rick Grimes was his choice for the series' ultimate survivor.

At A Pivotal Point In The Comic Series, Robert...

After resurrecting EC Comics with Epitaphs from the Abyss and Cruel Universe, Oni Press will continue to expand the eerie universe of EC Comics on January 8th with the first issue of Cruel Kingdom, a new frightful fantasy anthology series that brings the classic EC Comics brand of horror into the ancient times of swords, sorcery, and dark magic.

Ahead of the first issue's anticipated release, we've been provided with an exclusive preview of unlettered pages from writer Chris Condon and artist Charlie Adlard's "Death & Pickaxes," a story that gives a terrifying twist to a classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale.

Below, you can check out our exclusive early look at "Death & Pickaxes" as well as the cover art for Cruel Kingdom #1 (including the "Library Variant" cover by Tom Fowler with Nick Filardi), and we also have an exclusive quote from Chris Condon about teaming up with Charlie Adlard to...

Fans of The Walking Dead comic book series appreciate the television adaptation's relatively faithful depiction of the story yet there are, of course, some major differences, and Negan's first words to Carl in the comic highlight the sharpest divides. While the TV series generally stayed true to the comic, there are notable moments where the balance between adhering to the source material and introducing new elements becomes particularly significant.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #100 written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard revisits the pivotal first interaction between the two characters, one that foreshadowed Carls future in the series, offering one of the most striking examples of the profound influence Carl Grimes had on the overall narrative of the comic, which was ultimately not the case in the series.

As detailed in the monumental issue, Carl's initial meeting with Negan occurred after the antagonist and his crew of Saviors captured...

In The Walking Deads comic book universe, series creator Robert Kirkman put Rick Grimes and his fellow survivors through deadly wanderers, wannabe despots, cult-like ringleaders, and more through its almost 200-issue journey. Now Kirkman confirms he named one of Ricks worst Walking Dead enemies after a school bully from his own past, immortalizing his tormentor in a way that guaranteees he'll be loathed by millions.

In the supplemental Cutting Room Floor material in The Walking Dead Deluxe #101, Kirkman explains how one of the series first true Big Bads got his name, revealing that The Governor aka Philip Blake is based on Kirkmans Breckenridge Elementary bully:

"Also, fun fact, the character's name was Gregory. In elementary school, the school bully of Breckenridge Elementary in Lexington, Kentucky was a boy named Phillip. So that's usually my shorthand for sh*tty characters. I will never name a good character Phillip. They will always...

After the latest shocking death in The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon now have the same tragic thing in common and it could bring them even closer together. The second season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, dubbed The Book of Carol, saw Carol heading out to France to find Daryl. In season 2, episode 4, Le Paradis Pour Toi, Daryl and Carol were finally reunited after all this time but the reunion came at a heartbreaking cost with yet another character death.

After Isabelle refused to tell Losang where Laurent was, he stabbed her. When Carol saved Isabelle from the attack, Isabelle still bleeding out took Carol to Daryl. It was heartwarming to see this iconic duo back together, but the joy of the reunion was short-lived. Moments later, Isabelle succumbed to her stab wound and died in Daryls arms. With her final breath, she made Daryl promise to look after Laurent.

Glenn Rhee is one of Walking Dead's most iconic characters, with his grotesque death cementing the foul-mouthed Negan as the franchise's greatest villain. However, Walking Dead writer and co-creator Robert Kirkman feels that the jaw-dropping death scene could have been improved, wishing he'd done one thing to make the moment "way better."

Walking Dead's Creator Wishes He'd Misled Readers More About Glenn's Death He Finally Got His Wish in the TV Adaptation

In Walking Dead Deluxe #100, fans see the debut of Negan, the brutal leader of the Saviors. In order to make an impression on Rick Grimes' group, Negan chooses a member to kill at random, selecting Glenn in a heart-rending, no-holds-bar scene where the character is beaten to death while calling out to his partner Maggie. Glenn was one of Rick's first allies, introduced in The Walking Dead #2, making this a major loss for fans. However, Kirkman admits...

Interview With the Vampire...

In the immediate aftermath of The Walking Dead's most brutal scene, in which Negan infamously beat Glenn to death, Rick made a bloodthirsty vow to kill the newly-introduced villain in turn and over a decade later, it still strikes fans as one of the comic's greatest shocks that this promise was ultimately subverted, rather than fulfilled.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #100 written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard is a stunning return to the milestone issue, this time in full color, making Glenn's death that much more gutwrenching.

The issue serves as a reminder to readers how truly vile Negan was upon his first introduction. In turn, given the knowledge of how things play out, the moment where Rick Grimes tearfully declares his intention to avenge Glenn once more raises the question of whether Negan's surprise survival and redemption arc were the right creative choice for The Walking Dead.

In The Walking Dead's comic book universe, creator Robert Kirkman gave fans a surprise finale that jumped ahead multiple years and showcased the remainder of Rick Grimes ragtag group of survivors as they settled into the new world they fought tooth and nail to create. Now, five years after the comics official finale, Robert Kirkman teases the idea of possibly continuing the series, hyping fans up for something that very well may come to pass.

Concluding its epic undead run in 2019 after 193 issues, The Walking Dead ended in a way that gave hope for a sequel series but also buttoned things up to the point that should it never happen, Old Man Carl, Judge Michonne, and the rest of the people populating the Commonwealth still have a proper finale to call their own.

In the Letter Hacks column at the back of The Walking Dead Deluxe #100, Robert Kirkman admits...

According to author Robert Kirkman, fans of The Walking Dead shouldn't look too closely for Biblical allusions in the zombie comic book but there may be other historical references in the story, waiting to be explored in more detail. While not much has been written about the historical parallels to be found in The Walking Dead, Kirkman did confirm they were on his mind as he wrote the series.

The Walking Dead Deluxe #99 written by Robert Kirkman, with art by Charlie Adlard, and rendered for the first time in full, evocative color by Dave McCaig reprints the original letters page for the issue, in which a fan presented a compelling case that the Hilltop colony was rooted in a religious reference.

In response, Kirkman denied the connection, though he admitted that there were references to "certain elements in history" in The Walking Dead, without elaborating further, leaving fans room to explore further on the topic.

The Walking Dead was originally planned to be a tie-in to the classic zombie film by George A. Romero, Night of the Living Dead. Robert Kirkman's iconic comic series is famous for reviving interest in zombies, particularly the slow-moving ghouls featured in George Romero's original film. However, while The Walking Dead - by Kirkman and artists Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard - became famous for paying homage to Romero's famous 1960s film, Kirkman originally planned for the series to be tied directly to the events of the movie.

According to Comic Book Resources, the original plan for The Walking Dead was for it to be a continuation of Romero's famous '60s horror film. In its original pitch, "the book was set in the 1960s, even including the newscaster from the original film." Due to Night of the Living Dead being in the public domain, Robert Kirkman...
