‘Walking Dead’ Creator Discusses Possible Comics Sequel or Spinoff

 
In 2016, Image Comics published  The Walking Dead: The Alien , a spin-off story set in  The Walking Dead  comic book continuity about Rick Grimes’ younger brother traveling in Barcelona, Spain, at the onset of the zombie apocalypse. From writer Brian K. Vaughan ( Y: The Last Man ) and artist Marcos Martin ( The Amazing Spider-Man ), it was the first  Walking Dead  story not written by creator Robert Kirkman, who ended his comic saga after 16 years and 193 issues in 2019. Kirkman returned to pen the one-shot comic  Negan Lives  in 2020, and in 2021, writer-artist Tillie Walden created the graphic novel  Clementine continuing the Telltale series of Walking Dead video games.
 
While The Walking Dead  might not live on in another ongoing series, Kirkman isn’t ruling out revisiting the comic book continuity. In the latest issue of the colorized reprint series  The Walking Dead Deluxe , Kirkman answered fan mail about a  Walking Dead sequel comic — something the creator has addressed in past issues — even if it’s not Kirkman writing the book.
 

 
“I suppose it sounds stingy, but I can’t see myself ever allowing anyone else to write a series in this world. It was hard enough letting Brian K. Vaughan write a single issue. I HAVE talked to another writer about doing another self-contained thing, but I don’t know if that will ever come together,” Kirkman revealed in the letters column in The Walking Dead Deluxe #61. “I definitely couldn’t see myself ever allowing anyone to do a full-on sequel. I’d come back and write more stories myself before I allowed that to happen.” 
 
The Walking Dead Deluxe  #61 is on stands now from Image Comics.
