Problem is that the blame for these privileged little princes often lies at the foot of their mothers who were too busy rebuilding society to raise them properly. Just one issue previously, one of those failsons, Sebastian Milton, killed the hero of the entire series in a spoiled tirade. There is no shortage of failsons in the Walking Dead universe. It’s a little disappointing to see what’s become of Hershel Greene, more so for what it means for the character of Maggie rather than Hershel himself. Carl responds to this good news by killing the rest of Hershel’s herd in the dead of night. Carl’s punishment, rather than a debilitating fine, will be to find a walker to replace Hershel’s property. While at the hearing, the President of the Colonies herself, Maggie Greene, turns up to have a word with the judge. Though the new sheriff (who is the Sheriff Kapoor revealed in the fake 194 cover) is loath to do it, he has to bring in Carl for a hearing with the local magistrate. Actual walking dead are a prized and expensive commodity nowadays. Sure enough, the walker that Carl put down was one of his.īut in this brave new world, Carl hasn’t just killed a walker, he has destroyed another citizen’s property. He has a group of walkers in a covered wagon that he charges townsfolk a pretty penny to gawk at. Maggie and Glenn’s now adult-ish son, Hershel Greene, has brought his walker carnival sideshow act to town. But how could one singular walker make it past all of the city’s defenses? Well, someone familiar to readers is to blame. In fact, an elderly Earl Sutton later tells Carl that that walker must have been the first their civilization has seen in 10 years. Walker appearances are exceedingly rare nowadays. That peace is interrupted when a walker stumbles onto the Grimes’ property and Carl puts it down with a very familiar sword. There we see an adult Carl Grimes, his wife Sophia, and their daughter Andrea, peacefully living out their days. The narrative jumps forward many years to a quiet farm in the countryside. While the walking dead represented a violent threat and the life as we knew it on Earth for 192 issues, they represent something far different in this 193rd and final one. The final issue of The Walking Dead essentially comes down to a property law dispute. Here is how The Walking Dead comic concludes. Still, if you want to anticipate how The Walking Dead TV series will end, there is no better starting point than the source material. The show seems unlikely to do something similar given that it still has many stories it wants to tell. Also, the Walking Dead comic’s final issue deals entirely with a flash forward to a world in which the walking dead still exist but are no longer a big threat. But the show has not been shy about shuffling around character arcs as needed. Of course, the show has deviated from the comic quite a bit at this point, mostly in terms of which characters are and are not alive. If we better want to understand how The Walking Dead TV series might wrap up its story (and create new ones for the Daryl and Carol spinoff) it’s worth examining how the comic concluded its tale. Back in July of 2019, Walking Dead comic creator Robert Kirkman pulled off a similar maneuver by suddenly and unexpectedly bringing his decades-long series to a conclusion with Issue #193. While bringing the story of The Walking Dead to a close is certainly shocking, this is ground that the franchise has trodden before. Between season 10’s remaining seven episodes and season 11’s confirmed 24, The Walking Dead now has something that was previously unthinkable: an expiration date. The network has announced that season 11 will be the end of the road for the long-running zombie hit. Because while The Walking Dead franchise will live on in Fear the Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: World Beyond, and at least two new announced spinoffs, The Walking Dead proper is soon coming to an end. Turns out they were only partially serious about that. The following contains spoilers for The Walking Dead comic.ĪMC once claimed they wanted their hugely successful Walking Dead series to run in perpetuity.
