I think this cover is going to be misleading. I honestly don’t think that even Robert Kirkman would kill off Carl. Yes he’s said many times that Rick Grimes is the ultimate fuck up but I think Carl dying would only result in the focus of the book leaving Rick. It would either kill him or once he went on a final killing spree to avenge his son leave him so empty that he was no longer a viable focus of the comic. That being said if he were to consider taking the book in a new direction we COULD see Carl die. I don’t think that their story is over yet. Not by a long shot. I feel there is still a lot for us to read about from the Grimes but I suppose we’ll know in 3 months.
