The Walking Dead: 15 Most Shocking Comics Moments

While TV Lori Grimes was, understandably, reviled by fans for her selfish behaviour, comics Lori was an infinitely more likeable character. While she did sleep with Shane when it was assumed Rick was dead, as soon as her husband came back from the dead she stayed loyal and told Shane in no uncertain terms their affair was a mistake and it will not continue.

This meant that when her death came it left readers despondent, no less because not just Lori died, but the newly born Judith died with her. Kirkman’s choice of death for a new born and her mother? Shotgun, of course.
