In an interviw with
USA Today,
The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman hinted at two characters from the comic with potential to make their way on to the silver screen:
"Frank (Darabont) has already hinted at the fact we'll be seeing Michonne as early as Season 2. The Governor is probably a little ways off from Season 2 — maybe Season 3 or beyond," said Kirkman.
Kirkman also wanted to find a way to bring Daryl Dixon, a character only featured in the TV series, into the comics continuity.
Kirkman also explained that since the First Season of the show is based off the early issues in th comic series, we have yet to see the true side of Rick Grimes. Kirkman explained the trouble he had with holding backthe crazy side of Rick:
"I like to call the one in the comic book 'Crazy Rick' because he will do anything he has to do to survive, even if it's seemingly wrong, just because. There were some times when I had to pull back, but I was able to rein myself in and not doing anything too crazy," said Kirkman.
The Walking Dead season 2 is confirmed and the show is expected to return to
AMC some time in October.
