This is going to be a very unpopular opinion but I'm not too keen on Andrea and Rick nor the continuation of this story beyond 100.

Although 99 was obviously a set up for 100, I realized by the end of it that I do not want to go another 100 issues with Kirkman unless he follows a new set of characters in another place, something like 6 months in the life of ....I only say this because sometimes its better to leave things and start anew. All the secondary characters we have now: Heath, Aaron, Rosita, Holly, and Eugene...I have not made a connection with any of them. If they live or die would matter little to me. On the trajectory we have now, the remaining members of Rick's crew are few and guaranteed a swift departure soon, so where does that leave his story? He and Carl: the tragic, invinsible pair? No thanks. If 100 is as chaotic as Kirkman promises it to be, then I truly believe Rick's tale should end there. I doubt this will happen but looking back a year from now, many readers may wish it had. I say this not only for the comic but the show's sake as well, I hope it doesn't go beyond five or six seasons with these characters. They say sometimes writers need to kill their darlings; maybe this story isn't meant to go on forever, no matter how much Kirkman wishes it so.
