You all are a bunch of critiques aren't you. Walking dead will stand the test of time. In one way shape or form, just like all other pop culture properties you will see comics, Video games, cosplay, RPG, trading cards, t-shirts, syndication, action figures, funko pops, mud runs, etc. etc. over the course of the next 50 years. It isn't going away anytime soon. Multiple books have been written, spin off tv show, and future potential for more with Kirkman being a powerhouse player now with Amazon, he won't let his baby die a slow death.
