Kirkman was asked in the Letter Hacks section for issue #162 of The Walking Dead comic (via Comic Book) about the future of the show.
While the ratings have experienced a drop in its 7th season, The Walking Dead continues to be a juggernaut for network AMC in terms of raw popularity.
And while it has already been renewed for an 8th season to debut later in 2017, there are some fans who wonder how much fuel The Walking Dead has left in the tank.
Even if The Walking Dead continues to experience even slight drops in viewers, it’s hard to imagine that AMC will find the logic in canceling the show anytime in the near future.
