The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has revealed that more characters from the comic will appear in AMC's TV adaptation.The writer told USA Today that the character of Michonne - a mysterious ex-lawyer who fights off the undead with a samurai sword - is likely to appear in a future episode.
"[Showrunner] Frank [Darabont] has already hinted at the fact we'll be seeing Michonne as early as season two," he said.
However, he claimed that sinister villain The Governor is unlikely to feature in the next run of thirteen episodes.
"The Governor is probably a little ways off from season two," he admitted. "Maybe season three or beyond."
Kirkman also confirmed that he is keen to introduce the original character of Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) into the comic series. He previously admitted that writing scenes for the character in the show's fourth episode "was great".

So far I read the comics up to issue #18 and there was no Michonne, so I guess in the show they'll introduce him sooner than in the comics. The character sounds interesting and samurai swords have style, a lot of style...
ReplyDeleteMichonne is a girl :)
ReplyDeleteNever heard the name before and kind of asumed this character has to be a guy. I just hope they'll introduce Tyrese in season 2. For a short time I thought T-Dog is supposed to be Tyrese, but then I read a comment from Darabont saying he isn't, but it seems like they're also planning to cast him for season 2.
ReplyDeleteKind of fun that characters created in/for the TV show will appear in the comics! Do not see that very often.... as far as I know. Going by the first season I am ok with just about any direction taken, comic book based or written for TV. Series One was some of the best TV I have seen in a long while!
ReplyDeleteSo we'll have Kill Bill meets TWD? Cool!
ReplyDeleteWell actually Harley Quinn was probably the only I remember. She was created for the Batman The Animated Series TV show and now she is a character in the lore.
