In issue No. 93 of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comic, Rick, Abraham and Michonne went searching for what the group’s fearless leader felt were another group of allegedly peaceful survivors in what he perceived as a threat.
But after coming up empty in after a search for a threat from the outsiders, Rick was left pondering if Jesus may have been right — that there really could be a peaceful society willing to help his group of survivors continue on.
“Rick has hard time trusting anybody so of course he doesn’t trust the guy,” Kirkman tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Anytime a stranger comes in telling him good news, he’s weary of them. He remembers his interaction with the Governor and other people that he has encountered over the years. This is something he’s going to be weary of at all times. The real question right now is, is he going to ruin a potential good opportunity because of his lack of trust.”
