#1. Rick’s exit from the comics

Gareth Eardley on Facebook asks: “Would issue 200 be a great way for rick to bow out?”

There has been so much talk recently about the demise of Rick Grimes. Based on speculation from comic book covers and the plot lines currently happening in the comics, that talk is at least somewhat justified.

After losing Andrea and finding both The Hilltop and The Kingdom reduced to rubble, Rick is struggling to find the strength to keep going on. In fact, he nearly gave up on life when dealing with Andrea’s situation.

I’m going to be bold and say that issue 200 would be a bit long of a wait to kill off Rick Grimes. Having him live on past his problems with finding a purpose would be a bit of a mistake, in my opinion and would take away from the power that his death would have.
