Full color versions of the Walking Dead comic characters, from the Deluxe reprint of the series.
The Walking Dead is a very grounded story that takes place in the modern day, but it originally had a sci-fi setting no fan could have ever expected. Since the danger humanity faces between the zombies and other hostile humans is pretty realistic in the original comic, it's shocking to learn that The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore, and Charlie Adlard was originally going to take a completely different direction.
✕ Remove Ads The Walking Dead's Original Sci-Fi Setting Would Have Changed the Entire Story But It's Really The Walking Dead's Characters That Make It a Classic Close While there's no denying that The Walking Dead is a classic and a seminal hit, it's interesting that it was almost completely different. The Walking Dead isn't bad by any means, but there isn't anything about it that is a major departure from most zombie media.
✕ Remove Ads Characters like the Governor and especially Negan have stayed in the cultural memory for quite a while. Negan proved so popular that he even showed up as a guest character in Tekken, which is honestly kind of absurd. Negan even got his own spin-off TV show with another character. It's hard to overstate just how much the characters of The Walking Dead have resonated with fans.
One of the things that Kirkman seemed to be amused by was the idea that fans might realize that Jim is the same character from The Walking Dead. They'd then eagerly await for the zombies to arrive and disrupt Jim's life - but that simply wouldn't happen. The zombies would never appear. The trilogy would just focus on Jim living his life and how he interacts with his family. It likely would have been a compelling character-driven drama, as that's what Kirkman seems to do best.
