THE WALKING DEAD: Robert Kirkman On Michonne's "Mission" For Season 4; Plus New Still

In an interview with THR, Robert Kirkman talks about some of the changes we can expect in season 4 of The Walking Dead now that there's a new showrunner in Scott Gimple. Kirkman says that this season will be a "much more character-based story", because he feels they got too far away from that last season. He also discusses The Governor's return and many other things, but since we have a nice new pic of Danai Gurira as Michonne, the below excerpt deals with that character and the mission she undertakes after her friend Andrea's death in season 3.

"Michonne (Danai Gurira) in particular is going to have quite a bit going on with her because of that [Andrea] loss. As we meet Michonne coming back this season, she's on a mission to hunt down the Governor. It's something she's very obsessed with. It's big part of her character this season. She did lose Andrea and she lost her because of the Governor. She's not willing to let that guy go or be out there. It's something that may possibly be to her detriment, the fact that she's so dedicated to finding this person. That's something that very much informs her character this season."

RyGoR - 7/12/2013, 6:54 PM

And hopefully tyreese will drop the hammer on michonne if ya know what I mean ;)

Michonne is the best. She should get her own spin off.

TwiztidThorn - 7/12/2013, 7:00 PM

It would be nice to see her and Daryl set off on a mission to get a little revenge and kick some ass.

Bodwulf - 7/12/2013, 7:08 PM

You got it!

G-BOMB!

and my favorite!

Which means they'll kill Michonne next and drive the show further away from what got it greenlit in the first place. The comic is 100x better. Andrea was a total miscast and they ruined everything that made the prison arc special...

MechanicalLivestock - 7/12/2013, 7:40 PM

@canon108 100% agreed. I was so disappointed in the way the whole prison arc was handled.

ElBicho - 7/12/2013, 7:44 PM

She can handle my arc anytime...

PrincessLeather - 7/12/2013, 7:48 PM

i just wanna see her slice some bitches, Carl shoot some bitches, Daryl be a badass to some bitches and Rick walk fast and hack some bitches. LETS GO OCTOBER!

Canon108 - 7/12/2013, 7:59 PM

If they can kill the governor and meet Abraham in the first few episodes, maybe they can redeem this mess of a show by sticking to the source material for the Alexandria safe zone arc...

@ROrMachine

hey man, I like your articles a lot, but can you put spoiler in the headline and remove the spoiler text from the homepage please? I'm watching "Walking Dead" on Netflix and only up to Season 2; so I had no idea Andrea died in Season 3. If I click a story link that has "SPOILER" in it, then it's my fault for whatever I learn.........but Andrea's demise is called out easily on the homepage and I'm bummed to learn about it that way. I'd appreciate if you could address stuff like that in the future.
