The story of The Walking Dead turned the strangest Rick Grimes story into a super hero

Although the “Walking Dead” was operated for 16 years and 193 issues, it never answered the basic question he posed: How did you start the end of the zombie world? virus? A vital weapon? Something super? (As suggested, “Dawn of the Dead”: “When there is no other space in hell, the dead will walk on the ground.”)

The participant creator and writer Robert Kirkman guaranteed his outbreak on the field, but he was not intended to use it at all. What is the original? Foreigners! To give “The Walking Dead” a more unique hook that exceeds the mere zombies, Kirkman has erected that the series will eventually reveal that foreigners began raising the dead to soften the land for the invasion.

“The Walking Dead” in the end did not need more zombies and some wonderful writing to become the best -selling books. Therefore, in turn, Kirkman did not have to use the story of the foreign invasion, and foreigners never appeared in “The Walking Dead” – or did they do?

Non -ecclesiastical story “Rick Grames 2000” Written by Kirkman and artist Ryan Outli “revealed that foreigners caused the end of the world. When they make their presence known, Rick Graims and Co.. The shift from zombie killers to Smashers Alien. (Rick Grimes 2000 was first published in five chapters in Anthology “Skybound X” and then was fully collected as Harfa.)

“Rick Grimes 2000” is a satirical simulation, written in Jest, so it cannot be considered what Kirkman would have written in the main book if Comics Image forced it to write in foreigners. Instead, the story aims to highlight the absurdity of the idea of ​​starting the end of the world in a coma. While the risks are still the fate of the world, the tone is closer to the “Walking Dead” itself. Just look at Rick himself, who moves from an ordinary man to the use of contents such as Luke Sky Walker and wearing a costume Kirkman and Outli an invincible hero.

“Rick Grimes 2000” ran in “Skybound X” during 2021, after “The Walking Dead” ended itself. However, the story started early, in 2010. Issue No. 75 of “The Walking Dead”, which was placed during the Arch of Alexandria, ends with Michon hit Rick on his head after the latter lost to him.

The issue comes with a conclusion, and capture from there, as Rick disappears in a flash of light. A braid (now full color) Rick page that wakes up in the hospital, aims to reflect the Rick page that wakes up again in the “The Walking Dead” version No. 1. Rick goes out, and discovers many dead characters such as Tyreese, Martinez and Axel, and he returned to Ligmum, and Michonne has lamps instead of Katana. Explain to your opinion what he missed:

“It turns out that all this, all this, all we lived in, the fall of civilization, and the return to life, all the lost spirits … our lives were destroyed – they were all part of the demonic plan! An unknown foreign civilization came here for our waters. Water harvest.”

But then, Michon was attacked from behind and killed. The ruler was rebuilt with robotic limbs, the style of Darthyd Vider, and also carries a hostage of Lori Graims, asking Rick to join or suffer.

It is clear that this conclusion was not supposed to be taken seriously. “Dead Walking” Issue No. 76 ignores it and picks up from TRUE End number 75. The conclusion ended on Cliffhanger, and has not been solved, is part of the joke. I doubt that the story was aimed at continuing, as it took a decade for Kirkman to return to it.

The number 75 Epilogue was drawn by the ordinary artist “Walking Dead” Charlie Adlaard. “Rick Grimes 2000” Chapter 1 used re -coloring versions of those pages, then follow them with a new one drawn by ottely, which lasts from the original Cliffhang. Rick, who now has a robotic hand that can extend like a struggle hook, picksaber picks up from Michonne and Duels The Goovernor. The villain gets the upper hand, but Andrea, after trading her snipers for BFG, arrives. She heals Rick with foreign -stolen naniac, kills the ruler (perhaps inspired by Andrea is sent to an early grave in the TV seriesRick is returned to the human haven.

Most other characters also get new designs that appear Kirkman and ottely’s love of Marvel Comics (SPIDER-Man). Karl has an electronic eye, and Yujin has a octopus -like harness. two Biblical bats (Lu Wasil) that merge into red lamps, but also a sailing plane like green picker.

“Rick Grimes 2000”, the third chapter, passes through conspiracy developments and personal introductions after the number 75, such as the presentation of Paul “Jesus” Monroe or Rick and Andrea. This is crowned when the whisper, who wear coma skin, is integrated in the Caigo Justtal, to DECEPTICON Defastator from “Transformers” Or “Megazord”.

Despite this huge enemy, Rick is still leading his allies to overcome him (Maggie gets the killing of Negan this time). Once the foreigners are defeated, Al -Hazali crosses the “The Walking Dead” #193: Karl Adult, who lives on a farm, tells his daughter Andrea about her grandfather. Wait, was this whole thing just a story written by Karl? no! In this world, Rick is still alive and kicking. He and Andrea converts the Earth into a great power between the galaxies so that it is better protected, if foreigners return.

The end is just another reason that makes “Rick Grimes 2000” look like “The Walking Dead” via “Invincible”. “Invincible” is violent like “The Walking Dead”, but the simple fact of color shows how it is heavy and in search of excitement, and not bleak like “The Walking Dead”. The same can be said about “Rick Grimes 2000.”
