How Judith’s Walking Dead Commonwealth Story Improves The Comics
The presence of Judith Grimes in The Walking Dead's live action Commonwealth arc adds a sweet element that Robert Kirkman's original comic books missed out. When it comes to Rick's kids, The Walking Dead has suffered drastically mixed fortunes. On one hand, the decision to kill Carl off — especially when Chandler Riggs had no intention of quitting the role — remains among the show's most questionable creative calls across all 11 seasons. On the other hand, developing Judith into a main character has proven to be a masterstroke. In the comics, Judith tragically dies as an infant while Rick's group are escaping the Governor's prison attack. In AMC's The Walking Dead TV series, Judith survives, and has been portrayed by Cailey Fleming sinceseason 9's time skip.
