He struggled against becoming a human being. I mean, there’s a line in the episode where Rick just says, “Things are changing.” So it was a very different story, and completely intended to be that way.Įugene seemed like a candidate to be in that Talking Dead “In Memorium” montage, especially after he double-crossed Negan. Even though it was called “Wrath,” the finale was about mercy. It was to show that things were changing.
I don’t really have to deal with that in the comics.Was it a relief to not have to make one of those dreaded phone calls to a cast member for the season finale?

If Andrew Lincoln wants to spend more time with his family or wants to take the character in new directions that necessitates a film series as opposed to our television structure, those are things that we have to take into consideration. A lot of the changes on the show end up being contractual. Rick had made as many terrible decisions and had crossed as many lines it’s just that we saw it from Rick’s perspective. When we were really knee deep in the Negan story line, I always maintained that if you had followed Negan’s group from the beginning and been there every step of the way for every decision he made, you would have been on Negan’s side in issue No. There was a time when I thought Rick could go in the direction of Walter White on “Breaking Bad.” He seemed to get dictatorial as time went on. So it seems like an arbitrary number, but it really isn’t. I try not to pay attention to anything and just think, what does the story need, what leads to the next big thing? Once I have a basic outline then I have to sit back and think, how do I structure this for the six-issue trade and the 12-issue hardcover and the 24-issue slipcase and the 48-issue compendium? It gives me a structure that I think is very helpful for the storytelling. But so far the reaction has been mixed, a lot of people saying, “If Rick dies, I’m totally quitting this book.” But I’ve been getting that threat forever and the book is doing fine.ĭo you think about issue numbers as you plan? Why not save Rick’s death for No.
But because Walking Dead has so many swerves and misdirects, there are people that are like, “It looks like he’s going to die, but he’s not they would never do this!” So I’m kind of playing with fan reaction that way. 191 in stores and he gets shot at the end of it. I think initially people are going to be angry. What do you think the fan reaction is going to be to this? A fixer-upper civilization, if you will, and that Rick would essentially be giving his life to preserve this civilization. When I started developing the Commonwealth arc, I knew that we were going to get to this community that had some very distinct flaws, but was the first real solid step toward getting back to civilization, a place that has restaurants and has an infrastructure and a working government, although a corrupted government. It’s always been in the back of my mind that he can be taken off the table for story purposes. I knew that he wouldn’t survive to the end from the very beginning. It’s a much different experience for me than when we killed Andrea or Ezekiel or other characters. I haven’t built to a character death for as long as I have with Rick. I’ve kind of been dealing with it, preparing myself for it emotionally for years. It’s a weird feeling for me because it’s been so inevitable. It’s something I’ve had planned for a long time. What was the timing on the decision to kill Rick? The issue ended with Rick asking, “What did you do?” Those are nearly his last words as Wednesday’s installment begins with Sebastian firing twice more. But the Commonwealth’s strict class structure and Rick’s egalitarian ways do not mesh and Sebastian ultimately reacts with violence. But a meeting of Rick’s people and the Commonwealth leads to good things - like Michonne, who is in Rick’s group, reuniting with her daughter. Last month, Rick was shot in the chest by Sebastian, the spoiled son of the leader of the Commonwealth, a rival settlement. 192, which comes out on Wednesday, Rick dies. (Rick, played by Andrew Lincoln, will return in a series of spinoff films that are in the works.) Given that fake-out, many fans will be surprised by the events in the comic book.
