REVIEW: The Walking Dead #193 ends with a sweet surprise (SPOILERS!)
By Zack Quaintance — I’m still processing what The Walking Dead did today and why. Now, normally when I say this, it has to do with a much-loved long-standing character having something grisly and horrible happen to them. That’s certainly not the case here. What happened in The Walking Dead #193 is that the story ended, and it ended with little warning on fanfare.
In fact, to surprise his readers with an ending, series creator/writer Robert Kirkman and regular artist Charlie Adlard went so far as to solicit issues of the series for the coming months that will never exist, complete with original cover artwork and believable issue summaries. Word didn’t really start getting around that this was an ambush ending, until earlier this week. This is especially a shock for someone heavily involved in comics. Things just don’t end this way, especially not things as massive and popular as The Walking Dead.
Indeed, even middling runs at the Big 2 that come to some sort of (often temporary) ending get all kinds of fanfare. They get months of advertisement for the ending, creators in the press doing vague Q&As about what may or may not happen, and outsized story arcs in the months ahead, usual

Friendly warning – there are some heavy spoilers in this text.
So, this is it. This is actually it.
The Walking Dead is over.
The mad men actually did it.
I don’t think anyone ever saw this coming, especially considering the letter hacks in #192. Robert and Charlie promised us a new story, as “The Walking Dead was never Rick’s story”. They went so far with the fake-out that they even solicited three non-existent issues with fake covers to throw us off. Most of you know all of this from the media storm that has surrounded this issue. Hell, it even sold out from Diamond and people have to wait for the second printing. But enough of this, let’s get on with the review.
The issue is great. Fantastic, even. I’d say it’s the best The Walking Dead issue in… a really, really long time. The gist of it is this: a long time has passed since Rick died and civilization is flourishing. The Commonwealth has grown dramatically, the dead are all but gone and people are pushing heavily to the West. Kirkman has never been shy with his allusions to the western genre, and he goes big with it here. The western aesthetic rules supreme in this new post-post-apocalyptic world.
