The Walking Dead: 10 Comic Spoilers We Already Know About Season 6

6. Carl Loses An Eye

Fun fact: at this point in the comics, Rick€™s right hand has been lost for ages. The was never done on the show, presumably to save themselves the extra special effects work or to not draw any Jaime Lannister comparisons. That said, the gruesome injury Carl suffers is going to be a lot harder to ignore.

That€™s right, Carl loses his right eye. His eye! During the invasion, with Douglas (Deanna€™s counterpart in the comics) about to die, he starts wildly firing in all directions. Naturally, he hits no zombies and instead scars Carl for life before he himself dies.

But the significance of this injury isn€™t just physical. Carl goes into a coma and suffers severe psychological effects, acting distant and forgetting about what happened to Lori. It€™s an important moment for the Grimes clan, giving Carl something to do this season and giving Rick a reason to stay and fight for Alexandria rather than pack up and leave.
