Robert Kirkman unexpectedly concluded The Walking Dead comics in 2019 after 193 issues. The sudden ending was a mighty shock; Kirkman even took measures to hide the fact that he was finishing the series by sending out mock covers for future issues. Since the comic's ending, The Walking Dead TV show show has also reached its conclusion, but continues to endure through a series of spinoff projects.

As for the future of The Walking Dead comics, things are a little more uncertain. It doesn't help that Kirkman plays tricks on his fans almost as a hobby. Since the ending of the main series, there have been two volumes of Tillie Walden's Clementine graphic novel, a sequel to Telltale's Walking Dead video game, which is canon to the comics. But other than that, Kirkman has not returned to his beloved zombie world.
