@MarvelousMarty - Literally what I just said when finishing it.

I was sure we would get another volume, but it makes sense considering how issue 192 ended.

I'd have much preferred an issue showing page by page year jumps, showing Carl adventuring through America and so on but oh well.

Still remeber the guys in my old local comic shop (it's not there anymore) telling me it's the best first issue they'd read in years and reading the first issue I was thinking it would only go for so long.

I really enjoyed the issue.

But more importantly, I really respect Kirkman's sincerity and directness in his letter to the fans. He basically explains why he ended it abruptly and I get what he was going for. He explains that he doesn't want it to end but feels like continuing it would be dragging the story out needlessly. It's great to see a writer place storytelling above dragging things out for profit. I wish more comic writers were as transparent about their intentions. It was really refreshing and down to earth.

A simple not not complicated ending. Was not expecting Maggie to turn out to be the POTUS.

But Negan surviving to me is bullshiet. After what he did to Glenn and others, screw him. Not all villains, specially those like him, deserve to have a redemption. Kirkman definitely overstayed his welcome.

the bleak ending was a bit more fitting in reference to what the body of work is.... the walkers moving slowly was to show the inevitability of death. the human condition was captured very well showing that re-population would never truly occur unfortunately .... people would always want to take from one another, abuse their power, or become a savage to survive.

i'm not a fan of truly bleak endings but the construct of this story showed it would happen no matter what.

One thing's for sure. Both Kirkman's endings are better than whatever shit the TV show is gonna do

They can't even end the show similar to this because in the show the virus is in the air and everybody turns even if they die of natural causes

@TheIronDuck - The zombies still exist in the book. It's just the "safe zone" has been expanded to such an extent that zombies are hardly an issue anymore.

@TheIronDuck - Pretty sure they still turn if they die in the comic.
Uhhhhhh

@TheIronDuck - That aspect of the virus is literally lifted straight from the comics, so I don't know what you're talking about. There are multiple occasions in the comic when someone died of natural causes and turned.

Someone clearly didn't actually read the graphic novels lmao

The bleak ending was better.

@PlusUltra - I am glad they ditched the stupid hair cut I mean it made no sense ... they were ok doing a chessy AF hair style but god forbid putting them in uniforms...

Just for the record, this was basically the end of Shaun of the Dead.

I think the time jump was more like 20-25 years. The things they accomplished with the safe zone and the way most of them aged can only be filled with that amount of time I think.

“Helped put image comics on the map” <- I would strongly disagree with this as Image has been a substantial publisher and had huge hits long before walking dead debuted

Yeah, I'm just going to pass. I would have much preferred the bleakness of what he was originally planning than this. It wraps everything up in a neat bow, which I feel is bad storytelling IMO. "wrap it up in a bow so everyone will be able to feel good about it" just doesn't feel like TWD to me at all and seems like a cop-out. I don't necessarily think it should have gone on much longer, but this is just a joke.

The ultimate hopelessness of TWD was what made it interesting to me. The realization that The Walking Dead didn’t refer to the walkers but those trying to rebuild civilization and cling to what was gone was something I really like and while I don’t think this is by any means a bad ending I think the original would have been better for me personally. The realization that it was all in vain and that they were doomed just for trying would have been interesting to me and an interesting theme to end on

Not that it matters, but did they ever find out what caused the outbreak?

@inkniron - Nope. That was something Kirkman said he would never reveal. At least in the comic.

The finale was okay. I do appreciate the fact that they ended it after Rick's death. It feels right.

Fyi, that's not Herschals old farm house. That was in Georgia. This is somewhere closer to the Commonwealth in Ohio.

Also, so that's what's wrong with Wilding.. civilization with an "s" and not a "z"??

Gotta say I was rather disappointed. The time jump felt like a cheap cop-out that robbed us of a better story. I would've much rather had a final issue focusing on what happened right after issue 192, which then still could've jumped into the future to finish it off. Feels like a pretty big missed opportunity.
