That's what I'm talking about. This isn't our home. The Whisperers? They don't give two shits about us. I don't know that the Alexandrians feel any different.
―Kelly to Magna, expressing his doubts about the Alexandrians accepting them.[src]

Kelly is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is a member of a small group of six people led by Magna trying to survive in the Washington, D.C. area. He is a member of the Militia during the war against the Whisperers.

Overview[]

Kelly can often be very aggressive and distrusting, though he generally means well and will do whatever it takes to protect his companions. Like the rest of his group, he is initially cautious about the people of Alexandria, though eventually settles into the community. He at one point expresses doubts that the people actually care about him and his group, believing they are just being used as cannon fodder. Eventually Kelly seems to become more trusting and helps fight against the Whisperers.

After Magna sees through his lies, they leave.
