Just When You Thought It Was Safe To Face Zombies Again...

For those of us who've been reading The Walking Dead for a while now, things have certainly gotten shaken up in the past couple of issues, thanks to the return of the always sinister Governor. Well, admittedly, the tank he drove up in probably helped shake things up a little, too.

However, the point is that Robert Kirkman sat down with the good folks over at Newsarama and discussed why he's taking the plot for his amazing series in the direction he has:

NRAMA: Just when everything is looking sweet for our main characters in their safe prison walls, and they have the garden growing and the baby born and the wedding all wrapped up nice and tidy, you had to bring the Governor back, riding on a tank and ready for war.

RK: Got to keep things interesting, you know? If it was a comic about people growing crops and reading books and having a merry old time, I doubt people would continue reading.

So, what's going to happen over the next couple of issues, huh? Will Rick finally become zombie chow? Why the hell was the governor making out with his zombified daughter? How bad does your mouth have to taste after doing something like that, anyway? Head on over to Newsarama to find out!
