Previous spoilers and rumors for "The Walking Dead" season 6 started after Kirkman initiated the idea of killing off the main character of the show in a Reddit AMA forum.
"I honestly considered killing Rick in issue 6 and making the comic about Carl having to grow up with this guy he saw kill his father," he said, as reported by Parent Herald. "But in the end, I decided against it. That was never the plan, but it was a thought that popped up that I entertained while I was writing issue 6."
Meanwhile, more "The Walking Dead" season 6 spoilers were blurted out by Entertainment Weekly after comic book and show creator Robert Kirkman confirmed that the next season would be far from what most fans saw in the comic book.
"All I'll say is that a few of the things coming deal with very cool, very beloved parts of the comic series and expand them in ways that die-hard fans are going to love," Kirkman explained. "Oftentimes we do things that are cool, but risky, and I know some people will love it, but there's a potential for some people not to like the changes we're making or things we're adding. This is not one of those times. This stuff is awesome."
