Imagine a group of a hundred motorcycles driving down a freeway. Eventually, they hit a junction. One road goes northwest and the other goes northeast. So one guy, we'll call him S, says, "Let's go northwest!" A mile past the intersection, a semi careens into the group and kills ninety of them. Ten are wounded, but they survive and keep going. Eventually, they hit 10,000 miles. S suddenly has his consciousness thrown into his past body right before the junction. Now, he says, "Let's go northeast!" All 100 bikers survive. Happily ever after, right? But what about the ten, no nine, who went northwest and survived? What happens to the reality they were living? Does it just disappear now that S has changed the past? It's not like only bad things happened on that 10,000 mile journey. Maybe one of them fell in love with a gas station attendant and got her pregnant or maybe one adopted a homeless kid that joined the adventure. That 10,000 mile journey would be full of stories. Romances, farewells, friendships...the loss of those ninety lives is horrible and unfortunate, but what would rewriting their history mean? The nine who survived lived full lives and did the best they could with the hand they were dealt. How could it be right to just erase all that? Isn't that worth something? Is there a point to a world where everything is happy? Are people who struggle for a better life just idiots? Being human is about fighting even when it seems hopeless and finding happiness in a world that hates it. Are you saying that's worthless?

She told lori about her family back in the prison, I'm not sure the issue, it doesn't mention how her daughters died or if she had custody.
You're right, I have vague memories of her talking about her ex husband and family sometime at the prison. It was nothing more than a short reference, not lasting more than a panel, I think. In the special, we learned that she lived with her boyfriend and didn't mention the children at the time of the outbreak, so we can assume that either the ex husband had custody, or they had split custody. She didn't venture out until making her "pets" some time after the outbreak, and since Michonne didn't specify how her family died, she either just assumes them all to be dead, or found them that way if she went to check on them. We'll probably never know what exactly happened, but it's interesting to speculate.

It really shows what a strong survivor Michonne is if she only mentioned her dead family for a panel.

Crap...I just got chills.Idk she talks about why she doesn't talk about things to morgan on his death bed.. and to be honest I've always wondered if morgan actually turned or if michonne just killed him because he knew too much..
I never thought about it that way. I always got mad that Morgan died because Dale got bitten, crawled all the way to the prison, got carried up to the prison, and then got his limb cut off and tended to by Alice.
Morgan got bitten, Michonne cut his arm off, and he was ran across ASZ and then Denise tended to him. Maybe he died by blood loss but it always bothered me. I never thought that Michonne killed him because of her confession

The place was surrounded so any zombie fluids that got into the wound also could've caused a deadly infection.

Well I do doubt that Michonne would kill Morgan over something like that. It's interesting to think about, though. I can imagine her anguish just seeing him dying and the thoughts going through her head when she sees what she revealed. I can almost see her rationalizing that, "He's going to die anyway."I was mostly making a joke, but it has been in the back of my mind. Allen the first amputee died, but dale survived it twice, so did rick, and the governor.

I've always felt bad for Michonne. I know a lot of people have gotten disinterested as she's faded into the background but she's still a favorite
