So devastated...

Kirkman would do anything he pleases to his characters, and definitely even more so than Telltale. Haven't seen any rape or torture in Telltale's game yet...
I am convinced that Kirkman would also kill off Rick, rather today than tomorrow! Yet although he says he would do it, I am also convinced that he won't. Readers are looking for
endings before they close their books, and a narrative 'caesura' like Rick's death would motivate too many readers to leave the comic series behind.
Kirkman doesn't kill Rick because
it would end his series (regardless of whether more TWD comics follow afterward), and he doesn't want to do that. Telltale, on the contrary, NEEDS to end their series. Not necessarily with the death of the main character, but definitely with something different than "next year on the Walking Dead".
