How The Walking Dead Season 11 Will Reference a Big Michonne Storyline from the Comics – Den of Geek

The Walking Dead may have concluded the series-regular run of Danai Guriras Michonne over a year ago, but her presence on the AMC television show remains. Thats because the latest teaser for the shows eleventh and final season seemingly confirms the upcoming presence of a character from the comic book source material whos crucial to the sword-swinging survivor: her long-lost daughter. So, how will that work with Michonne no longer on the series?

Elodie Hawthorne, a comic book character who is the apocalypse-estranged daughter of the TV show-departed Michonne Hawthorne, is coming (well, a version of her is coming) to The Walking Dead Season 11. While no casting has been revealed, the characters presence is implied in the new teasers blink-and-you-miss-it flash of a storefront window from the characters comic-inspired bakery, which indicatively brandishes the businesss name of Elodies Treats. The logo was just one of many things showcased amongst a montage of ominous imagery of the militarily and economically powerful group called the Commonwealthindicating that Elodies shop is firmly located in that community. That notion leaves us with even more questions, since some of our survivors experienced a less-than-hospitable introduction to that community at the end of Season 10.

The characters presence became the center of speculation after the preceding teaser released last week, which flashed an image of a brick wall covered with photos of people, topped by a rough-looking sign that read, Flag for Expedited Assessment and Admittance to the Commonwealth. The imagethe show ephemeras first usage of the Commonwealth nameis an adaptation of a similar board in the comics known as The Wall of the Lost. While the board serves as a memorial, it also has a constructive purpose, since members of the community use it to pin pictures of their lost loved ones whoupon the hopeful event in which they show upwould ideally be given preferential treatment into joining the de facto nation state, due to their direct connection to its current citizens.

Pertinently, in the comics, the Wall of the Lost is what turns everything around for our wayward survivorsMichonne, Magna, Eugene, Siddiq, Yumiko and Princessduring the hostile first encounter with the Commonwealth, which is where their show counterpartsin this case Ezekiel, Yumiko, Eugene and Princesscurrently find themselves. The comic group spot a pinned pre-apocalypse photo of Michonne with Elodies name in the contact information, thereby providing a major revelation. Comic Michonne, who had lost custody of Elodie and her other daughter Colette after a divorce from husband Dominic, had long-assumed that her children didnt survive the undead world. However, she was half-right, since Colette was killed long ago in Kentucky after the two sistershaving lost their fatherhad taken up with a bad group, to whom they rebuffed demands of sexual favors. After taking equitable revenge on Colettes killers, Elodie ended up at the Midwest-located Commonwealth, where she made a new life for herself working at the bakery. While she hated her mother, who she thought had abandoned her, Elodies resentment of Michonne quickly quelled upon their reunion.
