"The neighbours boy collected swords. Hated that before. Would swear he killed our dodgy with one."
A great prequel to Michonne joining the saga, showed the origin of her katana and pets, more revealing than the Tyresse special, and the art by Rathburn was a good addition...3 🌟

2.5 stars. Disclosure. I've only read the first volume of The Walking Dead. I'd been meaning to get around to these books quite some time before the show started, but it wasn't until the show that I decided it was time to take the leap. So, I've read the first volume and, as of this writing, I'm reading the novel, The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor. I figured it wouldn't hurt to read this because it was going to be all about Michonne's life before meeting up with Rick and the gang, and I wouldn't be lost. Right? Ha!
The story begins with Michonne running home from work during the start of the zombie apocalypse. We learn meet her boyfriend and his idiot best friend (who inadvertently doomed the both of them). We learn that she turned them into her pet zombies to help her bypass the walkers. We learn that she talks to them to remind herself of who they were before turning and to have someone to talk, but that's about it. After that, I'm guessing the rest of her story coincides with one of the comics in the main arc because she saves Otis and is granted admission into the prison. I don't think it's really accurate to say that this is a Michonne special since so few pages were actually dedicated to her actual personal story. It wasn't poorly written, but just disappointing and misleading.

Welllllll ... that was disappointing .
Michonne is one of my favorite characters (isn't she everyone's?) in the series, so I was hyped up to read this. I suppose my expectations were too high because I desperately want to know so much about her. Having "Michonne Special" on the cover also led me to wrongly assume the issue would primarily focus on Michonne. However, what you get is six whole pages giving you the teeniest peek into her life before she meets Rick and the gang.
Although it left my need for more Michonne unsatisfied, it was fun to go back in time and see all of the characters we've lost along the way. It made me reminisce about how this series has continually blown me away, and made me want to restart the series all over again.
If you haven't purchased The Walking Dead, Issue #19, then get this instead. Then the little bit with Michonne in the beginning will feel like a nice bonus.

We get to see a bit of Michonne's backstory.
Kinda short to my liking. But a slight step up from the pointless Governor's Special, nonetheless.

The Michonne Special is a deeply emotional and harrowing issue that offers a revealing look into one of the most enigmatic and badass characters in The Walking Dead universe: Michonne. This special issue explores the traumatic events that led to the creation of her iconic companions—the two armless walkers, Mike and Terry, who we first see accompanying her when she makes her debut in the main series. This backstory brings much-needed depth to Michonne's character, showing the pain and grief she carries, but also her resourcefulness and sheer will to survive.
What I really appreciated about this issue is how it humanizes Michonne, a character who often seems so hardened and stoic in the main storyline. We get a glimpse of her softer, more vulnerable side, especially in her interactions with her loved ones—Mike and Terry. The flashbacks show her as someone who once had a normal life, a woman who cared deeply for the people around her. But the trauma of seeing those same loved ones turn into the undead adds a brutal layer of tragedy to her story. It’s this tragedy that shapes Michonne into the fierce, independent survivor we come to know later.
The emotional weight of this issue is significant because it delves into Michonne’s grief, loss, and the desperate choices she has to make to survive. It’s chilling to witness how she’s forced to dehumanize the people she loved—Mike and Terry—by turning them into tools for survival. The imagery of her armless, jawless companions is haunting, and knowing their backstory makes it even more heartbreaking.
This issue also highlights Michonne's psychological coping mechanism, as she continues to talk to Mike and Terry even after they've turned. It’s a powerful exploration of isolation in the apocalypse, and how one clings to the memory of loved ones, even when they've long since become something else entirely.
The story begins with Michonne running frantically through a street filled with zombies, desperately trying to reach her home. The chaos of the world around her is palpable—streets once familiar now teeming with the undead, a constant reminder of how drastically life has changed. Michonne’s goal is simple yet heartbreaking: she wants to get back to her boyfriend, Mike, and his best friend, Terry. It’s this personal drive that adds an immediate sense of urgency and emotional intensity to the story from the very start.
Upon reaching her home, Michonne is momentarily relieved to find both Mike and Terry alive. However, her relief is short-lived. When she enters the house, a zombie follows her, and in the chaos of trying to kill it, Mike gets bitten. This moment is critical because it highlights how quickly the apocalypse can snatch away any semblance of safety. Despite being in their home, despite having each other, the threat of death—and undeath—is ever-present.
Michonne, unaware of the true implications of a zombie bite, bandages Mike’s wound, hoping that it's just another injury that will heal. This moment is painful to witness because we, the readers, know what’s coming. Michonne’s ignorance to the infection reflects the early days of the apocalypse when survivors were still learning the harsh rules of this new world. The way she tries to care for Mike shows her love and dedication to him, making his inevitable fate all the more tragic.
That night, Michonne leaves the house in search of supplies, hoping to keep them safe and stocked for the days to come. It’s during this outing that she stumbles upon her now-trademark sword, hidden in a neighbor’s house. This is a key moment because it marks the beginning of Michonne’s transformation from a caring partner into a fierce, sword-wielding warrior. However, her time away from home proves disastrous—by the time she returns the next day, Mike and Terry have both turned into zombies.
The heartbreak of finding her loved ones reanimated and ravenous is one of the most gut-wrenching parts of the story. Michonne manages to survive their attack and locks them away, but she’s left to deal with the grief of losing them. What follows is a slow descent into desperation. The noise from her scuffle with Mike and Terry draws more walkers to the street, and Michonne soon finds herself trapped in her own home, running out of food and supplies.
The realization that zombies don’t attack one another becomes Michonne’s key to survival. In a moment of grim pragmatism, she decides to hack off the arms and lower jaws of Mike and Terry, effectively turning them into docile “companions” that will allow her to walk among the undead without being attacked. This act is both brilliant and horrifying. It shows Michonne’s incredible resourcefulness, but it’s also a tragic dehumanization of the people she once loved. Mike and Terry are no longer individuals—they are now tools for survival.
The issue ends with a hauntingly emotional moment. Michonne, isolated and alone, talks aloud to the zombified Mike and Terry, using them as a way to hold onto her sanity. She speaks to them as if they were still human, trying to remember who they were before everything fell apart. This moment of narration is deeply tragic because it shows just how much Michonne has lost—not just her loved ones, but also her connection to the world and her sense of normalcy.
The Michonne Special is a poignant and devastating look at the origins of one of the series' most iconic characters. It offers a rich backstory that adds layers to Michonne's personality and motivations, helping us understand why she is so hardened and closed off in the main series. The story of Mike and Terry provides context for her emotional armor and shows the immense toll that the apocalypse has taken on her psyche.
What makes this issue stand out is the depth of Michonne’s character. She isn’t just a warrior or a survivor—she’s someone who has experienced profound loss and carries that grief with her in everything she does. Her relationship with Mike and Terry, and the brutal way she has to dehumanize them for her own survival, is a powerful metaphor for the emotional toll of the apocalypse. It’s a reminder that in this world, survival often comes at the cost of your humanity.
Overall, this special issue is a must-read for fans of The Walking Dead, especially those who want to explore the complex and tragic backstory of one of its most beloved characters. It’s a heartbreaking, raw, and ultimately essential part of Michonne’s journey.
This issue masterfully blends action, emotional depth, and character development to create a compelling origin story for Michonne. It’s a deeply tragic and yet empowering look at how one woman adapts to the apocalypse, making it one of the standout specials in The Walking Dead series.

The first ten pages give some insight into Michonne's struggles following the outbreak. We get to learn how she comes across her katana and we're given a glimpse into her private life (something which is worth appreciating since she's always been the stand-offish, recluse-type of character).
Everything after those initial pages is recycled material from the main TWD issues centered around the Meriwether County Correctional Facility. Quite a bummer, since the artwork doesn't inspire much either — Adlard could've definitely added some more elements, though Kirkman's writing is impeccable as always!

7/10
The Michonne Special is a nice little addendum to how Michonne ended up with the survivors led by Rick Grimes; it adds just a little extra when it comes to how Michonne's story in the apocalypse starts and explains how she survived until finding the prison, and how she found the prison in the first place.
Besides this, there is not much else here. A nice little extra, pleasant to read, but not much is new and not much of what is new is relevant.

Que puedo decir, solo que no tiene ni una de sus páginas desperdicio. Ha comenzado muy intenso y ha finalizado del mismo modo.Me ha mantenido en tensión para tener tan pocas páginas y como nos muestra la evolución de Michonne: es desde luego una superviviente y una mujer de armas tomar.
Un 10 , se lo merece. Es por ahora de los comics de esta serie el que más me ha gustado.

I'm feeling disappointed here. I did not expect an epic background story, but I didn't expect this either. Just big piece of the regular story with few extra pages of not really interesting "how I got to Rick". Meh.

Michonne
J’ai adoré suivre les débuts de Michonne et, pour une fois, entrer dans la tête de ce personnage. On réalise qu’elle a toujours été badass, et Rick le comprendra très vite.

Shows Michonne was a undercover and add from the start! Different from the tv version but it's the original start.

Not much of a special when most of it is the same pages from the comics

There's not too much to say about this one. It's an enjoyable peak into the backstory of one of The Walking Dead's most popular characters.
March 29, 2015
This special issue of The Walking Dead presents The Walking Dead #19, featuring the first appearance of Michonne as well as the Michonne origin story that first appeared in Playboy Magazine. Just in time for Michonne's appearance in The Walking Dead Season 3!
First let me say I love Michonne. I am a huge fan of her's from the TV series and that love has been renewed with the comic books. I was afraid for a long time not having read the comics that they would be a disappointment. I can honestly say, they are not a disappointment, however, I did build them to be grander than what they are. Going from living and breathing characters on screen to a black and white scale will throw anyone for a loop. I know the comics came first and I truly wish I would have stayed with my comic book reading from childhood, because I don't think I would have by passed The Walking Dead comics any other way. So I am very much a late bloomer to the comics, however, I have loved every minute of reading them from cover to cover and discovering all that I can from The Walking Dead Universe in large. So without further ado....
The Best. Michonne has a SWORD and two walker pets!!!!! I love the detail Charlie Adlard puts in all his work with The Walking Dead and again another AMAZING job. The portrait of Rick at the end is amazing! The first 8 pages of this special actually explains how Michonne got her walker pets. I love with origin story.
The Worst. I don't really have anything negative to say about this issue, other than again I wanted it to be longer, like with the Tyreese special, however, this issue seemed to flow better. Much more smooth. Perhaps its because Michonne was simply traveling from place to place with her walker pets and it didn't seem as though that much time lapsed really between her leaving her apartment to her meeting up with Rick's group at the prison.
The Difference. This is much of what they put into the TV series. Otis wasn't at the prison however, so Michonne wasn't saving/helping Otis. Michonne's two walker pets were already dead by the time frame she got to the prison as well. In the TV series she was with Andrea and had gotten separated from her and made her way to the prison after an event happened with Glenn and Maggie.
Those Remembered. Michonne's boyfriend and best friend, after Michonne's boyfriend was bitten by a walker and turned, he then bite their best friend. Having gone on a supply run and been pinned down by walkers, Michonne has no way of preventing both of their lives being lost and them turning into walkers. Using their "condition" to her advantage she kept them alive, until Rick invites her into the prison and she them destroys both walkers with her sword, stating she doesn't need them anymore.
Recommend. To any fan of Michonne, The Walking Dead Universe, zombies, horror dramas, and prisons (shows, stories or otherwise).

"Dead people come to life-- All around me. I never should have tried to make it home that day. I should have stayed at the office. It was in that moment I realized......Almost everyone I knew was probably dead."
-Robert Kirkman in The Walking Dead: Michonne Special
Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead: Michonne Special was supposed to be a prequel to Michonne's character entering the main casts group but instead delivers 10 pages of Michonne and a recap of an event from the prison arc.
For what it's worth the ten pages were great and I wish the whole comic was following Michonne considering it's her special but instead what was displayed was a literal panel by panel of previous issues.

I should have studied ahead what this "special" was going cover - turns out it's just repurposed material from the ongoing series curated to highlight the in-focus character.
This Michonne special is probably one of the best of them, but that's more because she's pretty awesome and the curated material stands well on its own.

This "special" briefly explains how the two zombies came to be with Michonne, but the majority of the comic is, basically, TWD #19 minus a couple scenes. This is very disappointing. What's the point it calling it a "Michonne special" if you dedicate merely 6 out of 25 pages on her backstory? If you really want to know how Michonne's zombies came about, then by all means buy this issue. Or you could have a friend who's already read this relate the story and save yourself a couple bucks.
November 13, 2014
This is a nice little back story for Michonne that includes the Michonne's Story 6 pager that was originally published in Playboy magazine. This is a nice extra but in no way will the reader be missing out if they were to skip this. Basically it is the 6 pages from Playboy plus some of issue #19 reprinted.
February 19, 2014
There was very little new information in this new addition. You see Michonne at the beginning of the outbreak, and then the story progresses to Michonne's arrival to the prison. The last 1/4 or so of the book is covered in the main story. This is a good single-issue for collectors, but if you are looking for insight into the mind of Michonne, you will be disappointed.
July 24, 2015
Speciale fondamentale nell'economia della serie,per la prima volta viene chiarito il passato di Michonne e il doloroso percorso che finirà per trasformarla da persona normale a macchina da guerra,interessanti le rivelazioni riguardanti gli zombies a cui si accompagnava nella sua prima apparizione e al ritrovamento della katana.
November 11, 2012
Basically, this is issue #19 with a few extra pages in the beginning. We get to see a little more of Michonne's story, but not a lot. Kinda disappointing, but when you're dying for more of The Walking Dead, this is like finding a bowl of ramen on a rainy day- bliss!
September 28, 2013
Unas pocas páginas en las que se nos cuenta qué hacía Michonne antes del apocalipsis zombi, por qué siempre lleva una katana, cómo aprendió a utilizarla y, en definitiva, nos permite conocer un poco más profundamente sobre este personaje.
February 24, 2014
Better than the Tyreese special, although that might be due to the fact that I like Michonne more. It was good to read the original backstory for this character, and while I wish there was more to read, it shows how she becomes who you see in the comics.
November 9, 2015
Not that good. I'm sorry, but I didn't like that they used the bit of backstory to show something that we already knew about. That's about all I have to say about this. It was pretty mediocre. And The Walking Dead is anything but that.
November 13, 2012
Most of this issue has already been told in the prison arc (and the panels are even reprinted). Disappointed.
November 25, 2012
meh, for the most part it was a recap of a fight at the prison. meh.
December 4, 2012
6 pages of Michonne, the rest is a reprint of the prison fight. Boo, boo, boo. We want more Michonne, but this is a huge disappointment. Will not be buying #2.
