The younger sidekick of Rick , Jeffrey was traveling abroad in Barcelona , Spain when the undead plague start . briefly after arriving , Jeffrey received word that his sidekick had been shot and had fall into a comatoseness — a moment shown inThe walk Dead ’s very first progeny — prompting Jeffrey to essay and leave the body politic .

In this one - shot tale that follow Jeffrey ’s endeavor to escape Spain and the zombie horde now overrun it , Jeffrey befriend Claudia , a survivor who tells Jeff she can get them to the United States . First needing to get to a boat , then finally , a secret plane , Jeff and Claudia , against all odds , make it to their maritime musical mode of transportation . Butduring a scuffle with the boat ’s now deceased skipper , Jeffrey saves Claudia ’s life , getting chip in the physical process . And since it was still betimes in the apocalypse , that ’s about as far as Jeff made it .

This is the onlyThe walk Deadissue that series creator Robert Kirkman did not write himself .

It ’s unvoiced to say had he survived this final zombie encounter if Jeffrey would have finally line up Rick , but consider that Jeffrey was halfway around the mankind when the zombie eruption hit — with all form of communication and change of location either destroyed or suspended — and their reunion was a extremely unbelievable one from the start . what is more , being a zombie spirit tale bear on itself with realism , the mind that Jeff would make it back from Barcelona to Atlanta and then find Rick before his brother moved on to the many places he would travel to during the Book of Revelation , makes no sense whatsoever .

Rick Finding Jeffrey Post-Zombie Apocalypse Was Never a Realistic Goal

Since Jeffrey end up turn into a zombi before he can give Claudia anyextra details about Rickand his whereabouts in the States , Jeffrey ’s final heartfelt message to his brother would never make it to Rick , leave Rick clueless about the fate that befell his kid brother . The Walking Deadrarely pulled its punch when it add up to putting its character through the wringer , withRick and Jeffrey Grimes ’ post - apocalyptic reunification being a scenario that was never in the cards , make it a wishful happy ending that was never destined to make out to pass .
