Don't take that for granted, we know Robert Kirkman

 

Why (do you want Andrea or Michonne to outlive Rick) ?

 

Sounds good, but I really want [Rick] to survive until the end, even though that'd be a little cliché being the main character.

 

True. I don't think she'll die though.

I think the fuel to this war is Glenn's Death and the fact that Negan is invading their lives. Rick told Negan he'd kill him the first time they met, I think that's enough fuel. Not to mention Negan ****ing with Carl's head, forcing them to give supplies.

I agree that either Michonne or Andrea should outlive Rick and then watch over Carl for him, becomes his mentor when Rick does die.

What I think Kirkman needs to do with Rick is take less focus from him bit by bit over the years. (This is already happening) but continue to do that. Kirkman can't just kill him in the war for shock value and call it a day. Readers then might feel like "It's not the same without Rick" and he could lose a lot of readers.

If Kirkman takes less focus of him, gives the most interesting story arcs to different characters and give other characters far more time to shine over the years then it won't feel like "It's not the same without Rick" but it'll feel like "Rick has earned his rest. It's time to move on" By this point we won't be complaining about a new main character because Rick would pretty much be a minor-ish character and would only go further into the background. We would be ready for the change.

 

That could also make Rick's death anti-climatic, though. But I agree, that would be a nice way to do it.

 

Well, Ok.

I just think if Kirkman did that, tons and tons of readers would be saying "The Comic is not the same without Rick" for years and a dilemma like that can be avoided. A new main character needs to be set up before Rick dies, not after in my opinion - then this problem can be avoided.

 

It's not confirmed, it's a possibility Kirkman mentioned more than once, because obviously nobody is safe.

 

"The Nobody Is Safe" isn't really funny anymore, it's kinda annoying. They need to stop saying it because it's a load of crap. But it's obvious why they continue to say it: It's just to keep discussion going. It's a buzz-line, and regardless if I like it or not, it's smart.
