![]() ![]() Even in a world where zombies have taken over the planet, aliens invading is pretty tough to swallow. In the "letter hacks" section in the middle of the issue, Robert Kirkman let fans know that it was all a joke, but since not everyone read that section of the comic, many fans said he "ruined" The Walking Dead. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like, 'Oh, 75, that's when the aliens come in, right?'" ""When we got to issue 75, I knew that I'd publicly joked about that and it was kind of a thing that the fanbase knew about. It was all in the name of fun, but some fans didn't see it that way. At that point, the Governor was already dead, but they brought him back as a one-eyed cyborg, and they decided to put Rick in a superhero costume. He wrote an alternate ending to the issue that depicted aliens actually coming to Earth and invading. Issue #75 of The Walking Dead does feature aliens, but only as a joke. That's when we'll jump the shark and it'll be terrible and everybody will hate it.'"īelieve it or not, Robert Kirkman actually lived up to that promise. "Very early on in the series I started getting letters where people would say, 'You say you're going to do this book for a really long time, but this idea doesn't seem to have any legs.' My response as a joke was, 'Oh, we're going to this until issue 75, and then I'm going to run out of ideas, and then I'm going to do an alien invasion and just kind of completely ruin the book. ![]()

He did so briefly before returning and offered an even larger bribe to officials to let him continue his stay. At one point Rusty was arrested, interrogated and ordered to leave the country. Rusty bribed the guards to allow him to stay and for the next three months he lived inside the prison, sharing a cell with Thomas.
