This month’s issue of The Walking Dead gave us two exciting new characters, a looming rebellion plot, and an emotional conversation between Michonne and her long-lost daughter Elodie. It’s the first time Michonne talked at length with her daughter since she was a child (which was prior to the apocalypse). As cathartic as their reunion was, Michonne also learned some devastating news: her youngest daughter Colette did NOT make it. Last time we saw Colette was in Telltale’s Michonne mini-series game, where she appeared alongside her sister Elodie in flashback hallucinations.
Thanks to Issue 177, we now know what happened to them after the outbreak. They headed North to Kentucky and joined a villainous group who forced them to kill for protection. Elodie played along while Colette refused and was killed as punishment. Elodie then slaughtered the group as revenge and eventually found her way to The Commonwealth, where she’s been living for the past four years. Flash forward to now and Elodie has miraculously reunited with her mother.
With all that said, we want to open it up to you guys on where you think Michonne and Elodie should go from here. We saw some of you suggest in the comments for the 177 Discussion that they should stay at Commonwealth – while others predicted they should return to Alexandria. Whether you agree with either of those or have your own idea, comment below on what you think will happen. We’ll send a signed comic to our favorite response!
Gawddammit, I wish I hadn’t visited this site before receiving my issue!! Dammit!!!
yea this was a spoiler for me but go back to alexandria would be a good choice
Now that they’re together again and we’ve had their touching reunion, I think it would be interesting to see the dynamics of their personality clash a bit and see how the apocalypse has made them different people. If I recall, Elodie said Collette was killed because she resisted their captors and never gave in but Elodie did in order to survive. It’s possible Elodie is a lot less confrontational than Michonne, and if there’s one thing that’s true about Michonne, she has NO problem with confrontation.
This is one of the greatest reunions, comic or show that we have seen and it will be truly amazing to see where it goes. That said, I think that it would be interesting to see Elodie be compelled to stay at the Commonwealth and fight to keep her mother there with her. But I can also see Michonne wanting to take her back with her and try to be her mother even though Elodie has survived without her for so long. I am sure it will be a struggle, or she will want to leave with Michonne and it will be no question that she follows her mother now until they are somehow separated again by death or otherwise.
I think that after spending time together the two will realize that because each has changed so much that they cannot go back to the relationship they had or even one that each would want. parting on good terms, but with great difficulty, Michonne should go back to Alexandria and Elodia to Commonwealth.
I think what would happen is they will realize how they’ve changed and what they’ve done will make them not as connected as they used to be and that would make it difficult but I think at first Michonne will find out somehow that the chain mmonwealth are actually bad people and then figure out Elodie was too or that Michonne will try to convince Elodie to come back to Alexandria but it won’t work so Michonne will stay there but I think eventually olodia would come to Alexandria.
Once they reunite michone finds out that her daughter has changed. She’s not strong like her because of the path she took. So michone teaches her how to fight and how to survive. She doesn’t want to lose her ever again to this world full of walking dead.
They both seem like haunted individuals who went through similar experiences. I’m guessing Elodie will want to stay and Michonne will stay to be with her for now. I could also see this setting up for the death of Michonne down the line since Elodie could take on the roll of tireless zombie apocalypse samurai and be as Carl is to Rick, the next generation and slightly darker than their parent, but carry on their legacy as a protector.
I think that Michonne would stay with Elodie at the commonwealth but I think eventually I thing they would both go to Alexandria.I think while talking to eachother they will realize they’ve changed and because of that Michonne will train Elodie to fight with a sword so that she can get closure about everything she experienced then I think eventually Michonne will die and Elodie will continue her legacy in the new generation as the samurai.
Just let it be drama. Gimme something to be excited about once again.
