Just like any good zombies, "The Walking Dead" will not stay down. From the debut of The Walking Dead (written by Robert Kirkman, drawn by Tony Moore and later Charlie Adard) in 2003, he became one of the biggest non-superhero comics there, and the TV adaptation that started on AMC in 2010 took over that popularity. Although "The Walking Dead" completed its 11th season, 177-episode ran in 2022, she lives in spin-off as "Dead City" and "Daryl Dixon".

Comics of pictures are also currently reprinted Original Black and White Comics "Walking Dead" (wrapped in 2019) in full color and with new cover art as "The Walking Dead Deluxe. New editions include all new columns with letters in the back of the books, where creators answer questions from readers who wrote inside "The Walking Deluxe Deluxe" #85, Noel Ianulian of Puerto Rico wrote in asking:

"I was thinking about how great the invincible show and made me think ... Is it possible to ever get an animated show" Walking Dead "? It would be very cool to see the comic strip, also new voices and interpretations of the characters. "

Kirkman's answer? "I would like to see how it happens one day, but I don't think it will be possible until I return the rights from AMC."

AMC bought the rights to adjust "The Walking Dead" back in 2009 in, as it was called one of the biggest network development agreements at the time.

Creative rights in comics are a hotspot for controversy. Comics are generally a medium of collaboration, which can lead to ugly disputes over who deserves credit for which, especially when corporate publishers want as much pie as possible. Kirkman, Gail Ann Hard and other executive producers of "The Walking Dead" sued AMC in 2022 for the profits they claimed to be entitled.

Kirkman himself was also sued by Tony Moore, who claimed that as a co-creator of The Walking Dead he was entitled to even half of the comic book revenue. The "invincible" colorist William Krabtri also sued Kirkman, disputing that he deserved a co-creator of that series. (Both suits were settled out of court.)

Long and short of this situation is that Kirkman retains ownership over his original comics "Walking Dead", but AMC probably has commitment to any right to make a television adaptation of comic books. If this is one of those "make an adaptation to X date or loss of rights" (ie. Owned by Sony Pictures on Spider-Man's film rights)Then the rights are unlikely to return soon. There is no much financial sense for AMC to sell rights (because they make money outside the TV shows), neither Kirkman returns them completely. He did a lot of outside the TV -The "The Walking Dead", but even that may not be enough to appear for AMC's request.

However, the animated series "The Walking Dead" should make fans' imaginations jump.

AMC's "The Walking Dead" makes many changes from Kirkman's original story. Kirkman (at least publicly) was fine with these changes, watching the TV series as a special story in a new medium. But that is why many fans have hope for an animated show "Walking Dead". They want more literal comic book adaptation, both in the narrative and in style.

The current "invincible" TV series definitely illuminates the fire of this too. When I talked to Kirkman and the "invincible" artist Ryan flew for their new series "Invincible Universe: Battle Astver", they both said it was satisfying To see the comics they made together on "invincible" to be animated.

There are some changes to fix, such as The poor handling of Andrea (Lori Holden) at "The Walking Dead" (Lori Holden). But at the same time, there are some things that make the show better from the comic book. The image of Jonon Bertal, who dies in edition no. 6 of the comic strip, lasted longer in the show and was much better fired as a result. But will the hypothetical animated "Walking Dead" have to repeat the mistake of Jane's murder early, because he did the comic? Or it would also keep it alive longer and therefore would not be the exact adaptation that some fans love.

The Walking Dead TV series has also introduced some original characters that are absent from comics. Can you really make a "Walking Dead" TV series without Darryl Dixon (Norman Reids)? Other characters are unrecognizable between the two media; Compare Carol's fragile comic books, dying in suicide-by-zombies in the #42 edition, with the solid and fanfare Carroll (Melissa McBride) in the TV series.

Then there are production questions. Will the animated TV series "Walking Dead" return the live actors from the live series to repeat its roles? Or will it throw a whole new ensemble to show that it is a different bever? Would the animation be in black and white like comics? (Compare Adult swimming is not such a successful anime "Uzumaki".)

These are not insurmountable challenges, of course. But it shows that making an animated series "Walking Dead" would be more complicated than "Let's adapt the comic book" - not just to stick to the rights of the series.
