Frank Darabont On The Comic Characters He Wants To Include In The Walking Dead!

"I can't wait to get to Michonne and The Governor," Darabont told MTV Splash when asked about who from the comic books he'd like to introduce on the TV show.

"I'm champing at the bit to get to that part of that narrative. Of course, you've got to earn it. We've got to lead up to it with what we're doing. But I really can't wait to get those characters in play. And Tyrese too..."

"I think all the people who fans of the comic know and love will be in play here as we go," he finished by promising.








Michonne is a mysterious member of the survivor group, and a major character within the series. Armed with a katana and the deadly skills to compliment, Michonne is an effective and crucial defender of the survivors. She first appeared on the road in an unknown distance away from The Prison. She was clothed under a hood and carried two shackled zombies (later revealed to be her best friend and her boyfriend) to keep the zombies away.













The Govenor's real name is Philip. When the dead began to rise, Philip gathered together a large number of survivors, numbering almost forty, and established a semi-secure settlement in Woodbury, clearing and guarding almost four city blocks, upon which he declared himself "Governor" (as president "sounded too silly"). Upon his introduction, the Governor appears to be a fair and strong leader, but it quickly becomes clear that he is at best, Machiavellian, and at worst, insane.














Tyreese was a civilian who initially survived the mysterious undead Apocalypse that has swept the planet. A prominent member of the survivors, he was additionally a central character within the series. He was portrayed as a strong survivor who often acted as an unofficial de-facto leader of the group after Rick.

I'm really looking forward to this show! Sure, it's only 6 episodes but I'm counting on it being a case of quality over quantity. Hope you guys liked the bios I included...I've finally worked out how to get text to go alongside images so expect to see me doing stuff like that ALL THE TIME! ;D Plus, I figured it would be good to include some info on the characters so those of you that havent read the comics (myself included) know who exactly he was talking about!

They should have asked him how he feels about Howard and Goldsman getting their hands on The Dark Tower.

@isaiahbradley, tyrese wans't introduced until the second story arc of the walking dead, from what i've heard from interviews this season will only follow the first story arc.
