On Monday, the writer and creator of AMC's The Walking Dead and Cinemax's upcoming Outcast series will open up on a Reddit AMA in promotion of his new series. The official Outcast Twitter account made the announcement earlier today. While a great many fans are going to be asking about The Walking Dead, we can be sure that Kirkman is not going to reveal who Negan killed. That said, too many people will ask anyway. With Outcast on the horizon, most questions answered will probably be regarding the new series. Prior to his success in television and movies, Robert Kirkman became an accomplished comic book writer. The Walking Dead printed its 154th issue recently, Outcast is going on issue #19, Invincible (which is yet to be adapted but hopefully will be) has issue #129 in its near future. Before so many self-made titles, Kirkman worked on several titles at Marvel, as well. He really made his mark by branching out with Battle Pope back in 2000. The Walking Dead will return for its seventh season in October and Outcast debuts June 3 on Cinemax. comicbook.com/thewalkingdead/2016/05/13/the-walking-dead-and-outcasts-robert-kirkman-to-do-reddit-ama/

"Hey Reddit! Robert Kirkman here. You probably know me best as the creator of my wildly famous comic “Battle Pope” … Or possibly as the creator of “The Walking Dead” comic and TV series. One of those. I’ve started adapting my newest comic Outcast into a show for Cinemax, and it premieres on June 3rd. You can watch the trailer here: And see the first minute of the pilot here: I always referred to the Outcast comic as a “horror epic,” and I think this series will live up to that as well. Ask Me Anything! Proof: " Robert Kirkman AMA link
Some hard questions today-here is one "* My question is this: what the fuck was the Season 6 dumpster-fire-abortion of a finale?* You had a perfect script already in place but instead we get a cheap ratings grab with no emotion payoff at all. This could have been TWD's "Red Wedding" TV moment, but its all ruined. There will be no emotional impact when we find out who died come Season 7. The whole point of the scene is to witness uncensored, undivided brutality, and it serves as an eye-opening experience to the characters and the audience. Why did they throw it all away? Not only that, but when the fans (comic and show alike) are outraged afterword about the terrible writing - all build up and zero delivery - the shows producers were calling us immature children and "It's a gift to the fans! Something 'fun' for us all to talk about for the next seven months!" That is beyond insulting to a loyal fanbase that cares about the quality and story of the show. I actually feel like a fucking idiot for hyping people up for Negan and getting people so excited for that finale before hand.

Robert Kirkman's answer to a similar question
"I just want to point out that a lot of what you seem to hate about the finale are your assumptions of how season 7 will start. The death will have no impact now, etc. I assure you it will. You're welcome to be unhappy with the episode that aired. Was it a misstep? Maybe. Only time will tell.
Also, there's a lot of assumptions about why we did what we did, "ratings grab" which also isn't true That said, I love you for watching 6 seasons of the show and reading the comic. I appreciate the support up to this point and I'm sorry your unhappy. Standing by our decision doesn't mean I think you're immature in any way or wrong to feel the way you do. I just know how much the fanbase is treasured and respected behind the scenes so it bums me out when people make a lot of assumptions.
Scott Gimple is a great guy who EVERY FAN would love if they could get to know him. And he LOSES SLEEP trying to make the fan base happy. It may not seem that way, but it is. He loves the comic as much as the die hard fans of the comics do, he was a die hard fan of the comic before the show existed.
Hopefully you'll like season 7 better. If not... may I recommend OUTCAST... or Game of Thrones... or The Americans... or Better Call Saul. There really is a LOT of amazing television to choose from these days. I really liked Bloodlines on Netflix. And if you like animation, RICK & MORTY is the BEST THING BEING MADE THESE DAYS.
Secondly, Scott Gimple is a huge Goldeneye fan and is angry that you called the game "shitty.""

One redditor's comment "5 seapiglet• 26m I appreciate Kirkman's reply to the difficult question but it was still an "I'm sorry you're unhappy" rather than a true apology."

Robert Kirkman “Hey Robert! What was the hardest death for you to write in TWD comics? Have you regretted any deaths?” (via alannastara) I don't regret any deaths but I do miss Tyreese... and Axel... and Ezekiel... and... y'know... a lot of them. I wish I'd done ANYTHING with Carol as cool as what we've done in the show.
