In case everyone has been living under a rock , Robert Kirkman shocked everyone and AMC by ending the comic book series with this issue. People are stunned by this as Kirkman seemed to hint the series would run way longer. But today ended the comic book series.
Kirkman detailed that he originally was thinking of ending the comic book series after the end of No Way Out arc where Rick gives a speech that Alexandria was worth fighting for and that the series had moved from its nomad era. The series would as Kirkman claimed had a statue of Rick made and over time it gets old and weeds grow around it and we see the Dead still there. That society never could fully stop the walking dead even though Alexandria became a big community. (he scrapped this plan and admitted it was terrible)
AMC itself has a problem as now the main series has enough material for at least 2 more seasons to go off of.
