The Walking Dead Companion Series - Characters Revealed

It has been announced that The Walking Dead's companion series has a few characters they have decided to base it on. Two families and another lady called Andrea.

"SEAN CABRERA | A Latino male in his early 40s, Sean is a good man trying to do right by everyone in his life.

CODY CABRERA | Sean’s whip-smart and rebellious teenage son. Known as the angriest kid in town.

NANCY TOMPKINS | A thirtysomething single mom to two kids, Nancy looks like the girl next door, but there’s an edge to her.

NICK TOMPKINS | Nancy’s screwed up teenage son. He’s too old to stay home, too scared to flee.

ASHLEY TOMPKINS | Nancy’s mostly level-headed teenage daughter. Her ambition is in direct proportion to her older brother’s failures. She loves her mom but it’s time to get out of Dodge.

ANDREA CHAPMAN | A somewhat wilted flower child, fortysomething Andrea — yep, another Andrea! — has retreated to the outskirts of the city to recover after a horrible marriage."

I've also heard rumours that it'll be set in Kansas, fair enough. How ironic considering they are current in their 'Zombie Preparedness Month'.

It'll be cool to see a new bunch of characters in a different part of the U.S.A. surviving and battling the apocalypse, I believe it will start from the beginning of the apocalypse, so it'll sort run side by side the mother series. 

I appreciate the fact they used the name 'Andrea' twice, they are right, if everybody had a different name it would be pretty unrealistic. 

I must say I am looking forward to this.
