This article is about the Comic Series character. You may be looking for her Road to Survival counterpart. For other pages with the same name, see: Julie

Yeah--I think I'm ready. Let's do it.
―Julie before committing suicide with Chris.[src]

Julie is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. She is also the deuteragonist of the Tyreese Special. She is Tyreese's daughter and Chris' girlfriend. Julie also acts as the group's babysitter, and eventually, plans a suicide pact with Chris.

Overview[]

Although not much of Julie's personality is explored, she mostly behaved as a typical teenager would, mainly concerned with sneaking behind her father's back so she can be with her boyfriend, Chris. Julie was shown to be annoyed by Tyreese's over-protectiveness but still loved her father dearly. Beneath this façade, however, Julie also hid a dark secret. Sometime during the apocalypse, Julie lost the will to live, which eventually resulted in her forming a suicide pact with her boyfriend. Their constant attempts to sneak away to be alone together were in order to carry out this suicide pact and not, as Tyreese assumed, to simply have sex. Julie and Chris would ultimately follow through with their plan, albeit with only Julie dying as a result due to Chris firing prematurely.

Pre-Apocalypse[]

Location Unknown[]

Not much is known about Julie's life prior to or as the outbreak began, except that she had a father and a boyfriend.

Post-Apocalypse[]

Free Comic Book Day Special[]

After Tyreese almost gets hit in the face with a fire-poker, Julie asks him if he found the gun. He tells her that it was where he thought it would be, and that he did not have enough time to get a car. After Tyreese sends Chris away, Julie approaches him and tells him that Chris is just scared and so is she. Tyreese comforts her, saying that he will always protect her and never leave her alone with Chris, no matter how much she wants him to. She then tells him that there is already a hammer in their house, however, Tyreese tells her that this one is special, as it saved his life.

Miles Behind Us[]

Julie and her boyfriend Chris traveled along with Julie's father, Tyreese, in the onset of the zombie apocalypse. While sitting on top of the RV, Tyreese reveals that on a supply run to a local supermarket, Julie was nearly raped. Before, the act was able to be committed, Tyreese found his daughter and killed the man that was harassing her. Upon joining Rick's group, Julie and Chris were forced to babysit, something they hated. Nevertheless, they still had time to comfort each other.

Safety Behind Bars[]

The end of the world hadn't stopped her from seeking independence where she could find it. During the initial stages of clearing out the penitentiary, she and her boyfriend Chris acted as babysitters to Carl and Sophia.

Once settled after having sexual intercourse for the first time with Chris, she carried out an ill-fated suicide pact with her boyfriend (mostly pressured by him). Chris pulled the trigger on his weapon too quickly, killing Julie before she shot at Chris. Hearing the gunshot, Tyreese immediately came to her side, picking up her lifeless body. She soon reanimated in Tyreese's arms, and almost killed him, before being fatally shot by Chris again.
