This article contains spoilers forThe Walking Deadand spinoffs.
AMCs long-running zombie epicThe Walking Deadhas played host to many compelling characters throughout its 11-season run and many spinoffs.
But theres only been one Rick Grimes.
And through it all he authored many of the most iconic moments inThe Walking Deadhistory.
Wherever he goes, cool stuff seems to follow.
In that spirit, lets rank some of Rick Grimes best moments inThe Walking Deadfranchise.
Undeterred, Rick rallies the troops by growling, Theyre screwing with the wrong people.
While Rick wins, he flies into an increasingly unhinged rant, ultimately silenced when Michonne cold cocks him.
Starting with Daryl blowing up a handful of Negans Saviors, things only escalate from there.
Thats right: comic Rick gets his hand hacked off by The Governor shockingly early in the books run.
Naturally, many fans assumed TV Rick would suffer the same fate.
Its not untilthe first episode ofThe Walking Dead: The Ones Who Livethat the event finally occurs.
And when it does, its in a shockingly different fashion.
Rather than a villain removing Ricks hand, Rick opts just to do the damn thing himself.
Unfortunately its all for naught as the CRM recaptures him anyway.
So naturally, the gunslinger has to have at least one badass moment to go out on.
Rick gets just that with his particularly violent reaction to something known as the Echelon Briefing.
Friends, its safe to say that Major General Beale does not understand Rick Grimes.
Like any good cowboy, Rick has a faster reaction time than his opponent.
He lunges for his knife on the table and chucks it into Beales chest.
Even after Rick has killed Beale, he still has plans for the man.
Rick may have had cooler moments inThe Walking Deadhistory, but this one was surely the most destructive.
