The cause of the zombie apocalypse is still one of the biggest mysteries of The Walking Dead comic books and TV series, but creator Robert Kirkman teases he won’t be dropping that bombshell anytime soon.
Even when The Walking Dead is lying in its grave, Kirkman may just nonchalantly reveal the cause in some distant interview, but it isn’t anything anyone should even be thinking about.
As for origin stories and cures, they are only a tiny bit of what brings fans to The Walking Dead.
As the storylines have gone on, The Walking Dead has become less about the walkers and more about the threat of humanity.
