But first, we're going to drop a huge SPOILER WARNING right here so you know that we're not only going to be talk about how Kirkman ended his long-running comic series after 16 years, but we might just be hinting at things to come in the expanding AMC "Dead" universe. While the show has taken many deviations from the comics, in many ways they've stayed true to it as well.
Below we're going to take a look at the final fates of all of the characters from the last issue of "The Walking Dead" comic book. Currently the television series is running about four years behind the comics, but they'll catch up before you know it. Oh yeah, one last time in case you missed it.
