We have so much "Walking Dead" content to look forward to over the course of the year, including more video game content, action figures, comics, and the third season of the TV series. Robert Kirkman was recently interviewed and shared some information on Danai Gurira preparing for Michonne, as well what to expect leading up to issue #100:
"Danai is an absolutely fantastic actress... That role is going to be absolutely grueling. It'll put her through her paces. She'll have to do a lot of sword work. I can't say a lot about what she's going to do, but everyone who has read the comic knows Michonne is a badass. We'll see a lot of that in the show as well. Danai has really been diving into that head first with lots of sword training. We begin filming next week, so we'll be working with her a lot, and we're excited to have her on board."

As far as the comic book series goes, The Walking Dead will hit issue #100 this July. Kirkman talked about the danger of Rick joining this new community and how that will lead to the upcoming storyline:
"They basically discovered this larger community that's part of a network... To be a part of this network and to share resources, they have to become involved in this sort of barter system, where everybody contributes where they can to get something in return. Rick realizes that the only thing he can contribute is protection and, essentially, being a badass — because everyone in his group is a bunch of badasses. This other group is beholden to this very violent group of people who basically rule through intimidation. Rick says, 'I'll take care of this group for you if you put us into your bartering network, and give us food.' Now Rick has to go back to his allies and sell them on it. He's gone out on a limb and volunteered them for something very dangerous."
