There are so many more interesting stories out there if The Walking Dead is willing to tell them.
But what if The Walking Dead did something so crazy that it just might work?
The Walking Dead comic has some success with this idea with The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor, an illuminating standalone that detailed the evolution of the Governor (David Morrissey), and was mined for some material with him in the TV series.
The Walking Dead airs Sunday nights at 9/8c on AMC.
