After a relaxed country life and a hopeful futureIf you look in vain in Kirkman's original idea:
The consideration was that Alexandria was so successful that Rick was able to spend his life there and a statue was built in honor, but in the end the city fell and the plague of the zombie apocalypse simply continued. So we would leave the readers behind with the thought that the zombies will win, no matter what people do ... I know. Terrible, isn't it?
And what does Rick-Grimes actor Andrew Lincoln say?According to Kirkman, he knew about the real idea and "was so nice to pretend that she was cool."
