Michonne's katana sword has become as synonymous with AMC's The Walking Dead as Rick Grimes' Colt Python revolver. We'll have to wait until October 12th to find out what happens to the blade-bearing walker slayer within the walls of Terminus, but viewable right now is an on set video of Danai Gurira discussing the Michonne action figure and her personal connection to the character.
Season 5 Overview: “Season Four of “The Walking Dead” ended with Rick and the group outgunned, outnumbered, and trapped in a train car awaiting a grim fate.
Season Five picks up shortly thereafter. What follows is a story that weaves the true motives of the people of Terminus with the hopeful prospect of a cure in Washington, D.C., the fate of the group’s lost comrades, as well as new locales, new conflicts, and new obstacles in keeping the group together and staying alive.
Stories will break apart and intersect. The characters will find love and hate. Peace and conflict. Contentment and terror. And, in the quest to find a permanent, safe place to call home, one question will haunt them…
After all they’ve seen, all they’ve done, all they’ve sacrificed, lost, and held on to no matter what the cost…
Who do they become?”
