The Walking Dead character featured in a recent issue of Playboy has taken it all off–her hood and parka, that is.
In one of the first official looks at the third season of AMC’s The Walking Dead, fans finally can get a good look at Michonne as she’ll be depicted by actress Danai Gurira in a story run at Entertainment Weekly’s website earlier today.
The fan-favorite, sword-wielding badass made her first (and very brief) TV appearance in last year’s finale, hooded and robed and chained to a pair of declawed and defanged walkers. One of the longest-running characters in the comics, Michonne has been one of the most consistently -requested character since The Walking Dead began to air. She walked into the comics just as mysteriously as she did on television, and while eventually we came to learn a few things about her, the character’s full origin was not published until a recent spread in Playboy, timed to coincide with the season finale.
