The Walking Dead: Dead City

Several years after the end of the main Walking Dead series, Maggie and Negan travel into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan, a city that has been cut off from the mainland for years. The crumbling city is overrun by the undead and those who have made it a lawless, Dystopian society. The unlikely pair must navigate this treacherous new world and find a way to rescue Maggie's kidnapped son. Their journey will test their strained alliance and force them to confront their own demons in a desperate fight for survival.

However, it builds upon the established universe of 'The Walking Dead,' which has had a long and varied history of critical responses, generally characterized by a dedicated fanbase but often criticized for pacing and plot consistency in later seasons.
