Walking Dead fans were understandably split on the death of Rick Grimes in Issue #192. Some were livid while others were understanding while others didn’t know how to feel. So, we decided to compile ALL the reactions (positive and negative) as a temperature read of the fanbase. See the best responses from Twitter below, starting with Chandler Riggs himself.
u actually did it holy shit
timing was rock solid though & it's so sick seeing carl as the new protagonist

That's exactly the point of the apocalypse.
You might die anywhere and anytime …no matter how it happens or who you are.
The world will carry on no matter who dies and who survives.— Amirali (@Amirali09183375) June 5, 2019
rest in peace to this legand. may sebastian get killed brutally soon.

i'm happy-even though i will miss our hero. this opens up the door for a lot more needed space for underdeveloped characters and subplots. hell, i would just like an entire six issues of sub-plot threads and progression.

I'll be honest and controversial here, but I actually kinda liked how he went out

To everyone that are possibly going to stop reading/watching TWD:
There's something that we still need to learn on this story: nobody gets a happy ending. You guys can say "That's what Kirkman said" yes I know about it but it's the true. And

every character that died is sad to see them go but today was different. Rick Grimes died today and I'm really sad that his gone and we already know that he wasn't going to survive during the 300 issue run. Everybody is saying that his death was really lame.
— Waxcarlos (@CarlosA2086) June 6, 2019
But it's the reality on this story. Sometimes the characters can't have a heroic death by sacrificing themselves for others. They can died by different ways and it really sucks that they can die like this but like I said it's reality of what happened on this issue

Hey @RobertKirkman !
It was an honor meeting you on the set of #JayAndSilentBobReboot.
Just read Walking Dead #192 and I want you to know:

He survives The Governor, the Saviors, and the Whisperers…only to be killed by a spoiled brat with a gun.

I respect the hell out of issue 192 of Walking Dead for doing the 'INCREDIBLE SPOILERS OH FUCK' thing they just did. I'm in shock.
— Jezzmoz, but even more LGBTQ+ than normal. (@Jezzmoz) June 5, 2019
That's how you kill off you MAIN character ? This is not cool. He was the driver of the story. Don't start me with Carl and Negan. Rick deserves a better way to go.

'The Walking Dead #192' is a truly shocking, bold and exceptionally well-executed comic that will be long remembered as a crucial turning point for the franchise. https://t.co/QBokbrDRl5 pic.twitter.com/BRSOuthlN4

Ya know, I get Rick is dead, fine, but after decades of being a loyal fan we deserved a better ending. Took my money and this is the weak story you give us?? Feeling ripped off tbh. Same goes for show @WalkingDead_AMC
— epiclyfe (@epiclyfe) June 7, 2019
Don’t listen to the negative criticism of your storytelling decision. Shakespeare would have written it similarly. Even though this is a fictitious zombie world, what happened in 192 was one of the more realistic moments in the series.
— WFD (@Sir_Blobfish) June 6, 2019
So I just read issue 192 of Walking Dead
And it finally happened
Kirkman's promised Death since the first issue
That's all I'm gonna say, I wish to see where this goes, it was always planned from the start, and now, well, the comic is still great, so I trust Kirkman with it

I'd take the response of those that loathe that you didn't give Rick a heroic, Hollywood-like demise as a testament to what an incredible and inspiring character Kirkman had created with this world.
What a legacy to leave behind, and I can't wait to see where we go from here!— Ryan (@Ryan_MichaelRW) June 8, 2019
Just read The Walking Dead issue 192. Yeah… happy I switched to floppies a long while back and avoided spoilers. I love when things are unpredictable. I love when I don’t know what’s coming next. #TWD #TheWalkingDead #ImageComics pic.twitter.com/S7qBpRNvVs

– I am honestly shocked that Rick is actually gone, and that his last moments were spent bleeding out in his bed with no one around, that being said, can't wait to see where we go from here #TheWalkingDead— Matthew Sandison (@SuperPuppy448) June 5, 2019
As much as I'm sad about his Rick's death and about how it happened, I'm also love that you stayed loyal to TWD rules and nature:
