******This post contains no plot spoilers******
After 193 issues TWD has ended, with Robert Kirkman bringing the series to a sudden, unexpected close (that's after teasing future 'non-issues' on trade sites to maintain the secret right up until release day!).
Ballsy move in this day and age, especially as some will expect the TV show to follow suit (it still commands big numbers, despite being less popular than it was). The only thing is - now we have a trilogy of movies planned for theatre release and another spin-off show to go alongside TWD and Fear the Walking Dead.
This is surely a first, to end a popular book now but to then flood the market with the story in other mediums.
Or am I just being cynical in thinking that the comic series will return in a year with a new setting and new characters...?
