Mike is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is also the deuteragonist of the Michonne Special. He is the boyfriend of Michonne Hawthorne and best friend of Terry.
Overview[]

Free Comic Book Day Special[]
Mike and his best friend, Terry, stayed in a small house and later met up with Michonne. When a zombie attempted to force it's way through the door, Mike was bitten. He later died and reanimated, biting Terry as well, causing him to reanimate as well. Michonne discovered them, cutting off their arms and jaws, and chaining them. She used them as protection from other zombies, their scent camouflaging her.
The Heart's Desire[]
After Michonne saved Otis' life, Rick granted her entry into the prison on the condition that she hand over her katana, but forbid her from bringing her pet zombies inside. In response, Michonne decapitated Mike and Terry. It can be assumed he is still zombified as Michonne only severed his head and didn't destroy his brain.

Trivia[]
- Mike was one of five characters introduced as zombies in the Comic Series, the others being Front, Shawn, Penny and Terry.
- Mike is one of ten characters from the Comic Series who has made an appearance in the Telltale Series, the others being Shawn Greene, Hershel Greene, Glenn Rhee, Michonne Hawthorne, Elodie Hawthorne, Pete, Siddiq, Terry, and Paul Monroe.
- Of them, Mike and Terry are the only ones who appear as zombies.
- Mike's appearance in the Telltale Series does not resemble his appearance in the Comic Series. This likely due to Telltale not wanting to go through the time of creating a new model for a character whose appearance is very brief.
- In Issue 19, both Mike and Terry appear bald, but in the Michonne special, they have hair. It is possible Michonne cut their hair off so she would not have to recognize them in their undead form.
