The Prelims are OVER! GROUP A, GROUP B, GROUP C, and GROUP D have been wrapped up! Now we get to the final 16. We’ll do this in two parts: today we have the winners of Groups A and C, and then Friday we’ll have Groups B and D winners face off.
Here we go!
RICK vs HERSHEL
At this point, Rick IS The Walking Dead. It’s his world and everyone else is just living in it. Will someone move to the forefront of the series? Possibly. And probably. But for now, Rick is the man. Can Hershel take him down? Hershel was the kind, moral center of the group for a long time, but he’s no match for the main man… Right?

MAGGIE vs MORGAN
The small-town-farm-girl-turned-community-leader versus the broken soul from Rick’s home town. Maggie’s already had a big arc but I still think she has a big future ahead of her. Morgan’s story has ended, but people loved him, and he STILL might be coming back to the show…

MICHONNE vs ABRAHAM
Well here comes the big match up of this side of the Sweet 16 bracket. It’s my gut feeling that Michonne is one of the top characters in TWD, but you never can tell. Sgt Abraham Ford was a straight bad ass, from the second he showed up to the second he went out. This one could be interesting.

THE GOVERNOR vs ANDREA
Obligatory reminder that this is for the COMIC characters. I bring this up now for obvious reasons relating to BOTH characters involved in this match up. The Governor was the first big bad guy and proved to be a TON of trouble with very real, very lasting implications for our group. Andrea was criminally underserved on the show, but is a fan-favorite for sure in the comic. Alive and well, I’ll be curious to see where Andrea’s path leads post-All Out War. Although these two had a very personal history on the TV show, I don’t think they ever even talked in the comic.

Oh boy, let see how these turn out
I really want to know your pick for the Michonne / Abraham duel .
This seems to me to be one of the most important matchups of the whole Dead Cup.
That’s been the toughest choice!
Michonne, from her walker pets in her first apparance to her part in all out war, michonne has never been anything but awesome. Abraham was such a good character, his candle burned bright but quick. Went for michonne.
I’m betting it’s gonna come down to Rick vs Carl in the end haha
That would be tough also .
I think I know who I’d pick & it would be interesting to hear why we chose who we did over the other character.
Really tough decision but I chose Michonne over Abraham simply because Abraham was short-lived in the comic. There are things about Michonne that are totally awesome & then there are things about her that I don’t care for. I had no complaints about Abraham except that he died too soon. If he would have been around longer for us to get to know him better, I probably would have voted for him.
I can see where you are coming from Michonne is one of the series best characters in the comic and on the show.
Just realised, this round was all about the living vs the dead!
That’s a cool observation thanks for pointing that out.
You wait all day for brian to put the poll up and no sooner do you go to bed and bam! There it is. Stupid time difference lol
My active time on the site is always during the site’s inactive time.
what is the time difference, for you? a guess it depends what part of the US you are all in?
Got busy here at work…seeing this an hour after you posted…next time I see you online the same time as me, I’ll give ya my current time. 😉
My choices Rick , Maggie , Abraham and Andrea.
I whent for Rick, Maggie, Michonne, Andrea
Rick, Maggie, Michonne, and Andrea are my picks
i did that too
Ditto.
The Governor vs Andrea was a tougher decision to make for me than Michonne vs Abraham was. I voted Rick Maggie Michonne Governor. Glenn vs Negan will be a tough one in the next round. Voting Carl all the way!
Negan v glenn? #GlennForTheWin
I think Glenn maybe get redemption.
Me to. in the last round Negan got like 75% against Axel, so am thinking that Glenn is way more popular than Axel, so stands a good chance, # GlennForTheWin # FingersCrossed
#BatsWhereIt’sAt
Lol Negan
Who do you got Negan vs Glenn ?
I went with Rick,Morgan,Abraham and The Governor
Man oh man Brian these are getting good. Michonne vs Abraham was so tough but straight up one on one there is no way and I mean no way Michonne could take Abraham. Don’t get me wrong Michonne is a BAD ASS but to me Abraham was way too short lived in the book way too short lived I wish Kirkman would have kept him around a longer. Hell I wish Shane would have stayed longer to….” Thats for you Bastet for all the mean things I have said about Shane.. But Shane Ty and Abraham should have got to hang around longer in the book. But we keep reading and loving it so no harm no foul
Abraham voters in the house by the looks of it we are the only ones so far .
we stand strong
I agree. I thought I read somewhere where Kirkman kinda regretted killing Shane so soon. I loved the 3 guys… they are certainly my faves. In fact, I’d trade Maggie off for any one of them!
It’s going to end up being Rick vs Shiva… and Shiva’s gonna win.
I’m going to be really surprised if Carl doesn’t win he has a lot of loyal fans on here but that would be really cool .
Left Left Left Right. Michonne Vs. Abraham was one of the tougher matchups yet.
Rick, Maggie, Michonne, & Andrea.
Rick, Maggie, Michonne, and The Governor
Excellent this was a challenge, however its going to a long ride. Cant wait to see this to the end.
Hershel, Maggie, Abraham, The Governor, though they were all tight choices, this is heating up!
You picked Hershel over Rick?
Yeah, not entirely sure why, I just think his arc is really interesting, as well as his take on the apocalypse, especially with how he develops from then to the prison, and how it ends.
Interesting! I liked him because he was hardcore but kind at the same time. I imagined him to be a great leader, if something ever happened to Rick.
Oh yeah another Abraham fan .
I hope that wasn’t sarcastic Jason, Abraham is a beast! Although I’ll admit on my first read through I didn’t like him, because he was so against Rick, and I was a massive Rick fanboy the first time round.
No I wasn’t being sarcastic I really like Abraham he is one of my favorite characters along with Eugene, Shane , Dwight and Ezekiel.
Now that I’m looking at it all my guys except for Abraham and Shiva have been eliminated so I got a lot riding on this .
damn this was a tough one i mean Michonne is such a bad ass and has been with the group for so long she’s a survivor through and through, however Abraham is equally bad ass and even though his mission to DC turned to be an elaborate hoax by Eugene without Abraham and his mission the group would not be in Alexandria right now and would still most likely be wandering around the back woods of Georgia or dead all together.
So which one did you go with?
Wow interesting results. I thought Abe and Michonne would be a little closer but other than that everyone won I thought was going to .
